And the Sky was so blue …

 

Hey guys! It has been a long day… J and I had some work and errands to run early on in the day and then a video shoot with a few of our best friends for their upcoming wedding … which was a lot of fun might I add and a nice little break from an otherwise hectic Sunday. Its amazing how quickly things changed from being relaxed to deadline and pressure driven … and I am not even in school! haha…. UofT … can I come back? I miss you!

My gosh … I just noticed how many of my “shoots” involve incorporating a little Starbucks “accessory” in them! This is crazy … warning to friends and family… stop feeding my addiction with gift cards… who am I kidding … the money will come from my wallet either way! This is a little random, but am I the only one that hates the new cups?!

Onto the clothes and makeup … I found these jeans at … hold your breath… Aeropostale.. for $12! They were regularly close to $50 I believe and were on massive discount… they are the perfect dark wash skinny jeans with just the right amount of stretch to them.. ok a LOT of stretch which is just the way I like them :)

The shirt is one I found at Value Village for $3.99 and it is by BCBG Maxazria – it is one of my favourite shirts for this spring/summer – it is a gorgeous neutral top that I find very feminine but so comfortable to wear! It is not tight, heavy and breathes very well.. the lace detailing makes it really sweet as well. The bag is also one of my vintage finds from Value Village – I got this a long time ago and have worn it in a few posts I think … I paid about $3 for it. The boots were purchased a while back at Vaughan Mills – Holt Renfrew Last call for $85. I love that they have rubber soles with a ton of grip – I am weary about shoes with leather soles and no grip… I always end up purchasing grip pads that stick to the bottoms of the shoes .. not for these babies! They are perfect as is and quite comfortable for a spiked bootie!

I was quite pleased with the makeup today – I have not gotten all “done up” since Vegas… I have really been liking a melon coloured pigment all over the eyelid to the crease and then a bronzed brown on the outer V of the eye… I have been using MAC’s melon pigment which is my favourite and some Urban Decay colours from the Naked palette (every neutral lover MUST get this palette – it rocks). I also have re-discovered my beloved Annabelle waterproof smudge liner (black), so that has been getting some love as well (and its so cheap – sorry to those who do not live in Canada – I think this brand is only available here)! On my lips I am wearing MAC’s All Styled Up pink coloured lipstick which I purchased at a CCO in Las Vegas for $10 … It is so not fair that Canadian prices are so much higher when the dollar really isn't that far off and hasn't been for a few years now! Over the lipstick I am wearing Revlon's color burst lip-gloss in peony (I like this better than any of my high end lip glosses – the quality of these are amazing).

Hope you all had a great Sunday- I am off to take a chocolate bubble bath … and catch up on some reading … Eat, Pray, Love :)
