You should have crossed the Sky

IMG_4909 IMG_4917 IMG_4921 IMG_4907

Hey guys! I just got back from a quick night out for some dinner and hot chocolate on Queen street – We had some Thai food and hot chocolate at Starbucks (although I must say – I didn't like it – Second Cup hot chocolate is SO much better and if you have an SPC card you get the next size up for free ;). I couldn't wait to show you guys but I picked these boots by Joie (second hand) – they were originally about $600 and I picked them up for less than 1/6th of the price which is awesome – I wanted a pair of buttery soft leather over the knee boots that were flat and easy to walk in – I could not be happier with these! 

Also, I don't know about you guys but I love dressing up for Halloween (remember my Gaga costume from last year?) and I cant wait to show you my costume! I made it myself and although its nothing crazy over the top and was actually quite simple to make – I am pretty happy with the result! Any of you guys dressing up or doing something to get into the Halloween “spirit”? I still need to carve my pumpkin – I LOVE baking the seeds after with salt and hot pepper … mmmm ..and don't forget the pumpkin pie with whip cream!

 

Outfit: Top: F21, Cardigan: Guess (from Winners), Tights: Old Navy, Boots: Joie, Bag: Vintage, Jacket: Aritzia(I have had this for about 6 years and I still absolutely LOVE this jacket .. so much so that the sleeves are all ripped – oh well! I will wear it until it tears to shreds .. and then some), Necklace: Tiffany

Makeup: Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, MAC Springsheen blush, Loreal lineur intense liquid liner, MAC snob lipstick (which is so faded off you cant even see it in the pictures anymore ..haha), Urban Decay neutral brown colours from the Naked palette (my official favourite palette EVER)

Songs that are stuck in my head at the moment: 1. Mike Posner – Please don’t go  2. Kanye West F. Pusha T – Runaway 3. Nelly – Just a dream  4. Uffie - Difficult

Your boots are so cute!!! I need some new boots.

Sadly, I'm not dressing up this halloween. :( Usually I take my little sister out trick-or-treating, but I just had a surgery yesterday so it's not happening this year. Although I do look pretty scary. lol.

Wow. Gorgeous outfit.

The first picture looked familiar to me and then today it flashed. It was taken about 100 feet from my place off Queen! So stunned to imagine you were just a yard away.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, I love the purse! You always find the best one of a kind accessories. Also, I love you with glasses on - you look so chic and pretty.

Christina said...

why are you even blogging? your outfits aren't inspirational in the slightest. go to any college campus and you'll find 50 girls wearing the same thing you are.

Ashleigh said...

Gigi- I know, so happy when I found them!

Michel - small world...haha

Christina- I love this comment! OK here goes :) ... I am not trying to inspire you. End of story.
