There is only Opportunity

 

Hey guys! So I didn't get a chance to go to The Clothing Show that happened here in Toronto this weekend (if you went, I would love to hear about your findings)…which is probably a good thing considering I should not be buying any more clothes or shoes until my closet is fully cleaned out! I always get tempted amidst the sea of perfectly worn leather booties, waist cinching belts and supple leather bags … This weekend involved going to the theatre with some friends to watch The Town (which was a great movie), running a lot of errands with J, just tidying up in general and perusing through my Greek and Irish cookbooks with a mug of coffee on hand.. for some new recipes that look simple but delicious!

I have been wearing a lot of loose clothes in dark colours lately … I was going to wear black pants as well but then decided against it – I needed a teeny bit of colour to add to my outfit so went with comfortable blue jeans instead … I also forgot, we passed by a garage sale this weekend and I found two pair of cute boots for $3 (I don't count this as shopping .… because its less than a Starbucks latte..haha) – the ones I am wearing in this post are one of them and they are SO comfortable because of the chunky heel (not too high but not too low..it is honestly the perfect wearable heel size in my opinion).. the brand is Franco Sarto. Also wearing my Coach bag that I got off eBay a little while ago which I have been sporting to work as well as on the weekends!

I was also going to take a picture of my new drugstore foundation to compare it to Estee Lauder Double wear but it broke (I dropped it on the floor)… anyways, I will just let you know (without the picture :P)… I found a foundation which I think is comparable to Estee Lauder Double Wear and about 1/4 of the price – its Maybelline Super stay 24 hour foundation! It’s application is very smooth, its pretty transfer resistant and looked good most of the day … not as long wearing as my Estee Lauder, but honestly, the closest I have found so far in a foundation (I like it better than Revlon Color stay – and it doesn't have that hard paint smelling scent like Revlon’s). I will continue to repurchase it as an affordable drugstore foundation during the week and save my expensive Estee Lauder for Saturday nights! For reference, I am the colour Tawny in Estee Lauder DW and Classic Beige in Maybelline (in MAC foundation I am usually NC30)

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
