Hey guys! I am back again and will try my best to keep up the regular posting … still getting back into the swing of things… SO these are some pictures from when J and I made our way down to the Distillery district here in Toronto… you know I say it time and time again….but I LOVE my city! There is so much to do, see, cool little shops and coffee places to hang out at… festivals, cultural events, music events…. I love my city, I really do =)
We stopped by this shop (I cant remember the name) but when I looked at some of the prices my jaw DROPPED! I loved the store and the atmosphere …BUT $450 for a sweater? Hello?! Am I the only one here freaking out? I love fashion and I love these material sorts of things but that's where I draw the line :s…. regardless, we walked around and appreciated these “pretty” things… see that dress in the second last pic? Loved it…. but $530? Hmmm I will stick with my thrifted version that may not come with the fancy tag and pretty packaging BUT serves me just as well!
Today was a BEAUTIFUL day … the sun is out and its Monday! Yes … Its Monday and NO I am not complaining because it is a beautiful new week and a fresh start… may I remind you also a long weekend coming up? More time to spend with family, friends, some good eats and drinks =)
I decided I am going to try and include makeup products that I use throughout the day in most of my posts….so it will be a combination of fashion and makeup but regardless… all “beauty” related… I hope you like this idea!
Ps Don’s forget to enter THIS give-away that I am having… time-is-a-tickin’ !

I know exactly what store you're talking about!! It has super gorgeous stuff, but ...$$$!

you look so pretty! Love your leather jacket
Wow, I love everything about your look. :)
Hey doll! Thats okay, Im into all kinds of looks and not everyone is into the same looks. I have a jacket almost identical to this one and adore it! It looks fab on you. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE that belt! I'm obsessed with vintage too! I bought 3 gorgeous vintage belts at a store called Captain Bettys, they are super expensive though. Where I live you cant easily access vintage or any stores for that matter. The closest ones to me besides that one is an hour away at least :/ Anyway! I will have to post pics up of them for you. I haven't worn them yet but maybe I will have to put a look together! I found some decent ones for 2 dollars each at a thrift store too I can take pics of IF your interested that is! Have you been on Etsy? I know their are all kinds of great vintage items on that site to buy, just dont have the money for it. well doll, I'm a happy follower of yours and love your blog. I am hoping to be able to post more but currently dont have a computer so it makes it hard. Keep in touch and best wishes! ♥
Your hair looks really great...did you do lowlights?
I totally freak over prices too...I just can't justify spending a lot on something like a sweater. I'd probably only fork over that much for a bag I'd have forever!
Happy Humpday! :P
