Polka Dottie

It's been a while and for some reason I've been feeling rather disconnected from the Interwebz so I wasn't really sure how to get back into things. I had time to snap some pictures before heading out the door so that's what you get! I would love to show you some fabulous fall outfit but for now, it's hot as hell in Montreal so we're going to have to wait a little longer.

Top: Zara, Skirt: Thrifted and DIYed, Belt: F21, Shoes: Aldo

I am loving how practical these little wedges are! They're majorly on sale too! http://www.aldoshoes.com/ca-eng/sale/women/sale-sandals/84169005-pouche/28

Face:

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in shade 51 light vanilla

Hard Candy Glamouflage Concealer

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer

Maybelline Dream Matte powder

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish blush in Warm Soul

Eyes: 

Joe Fresh eyeshadow in Sugar

Sleek brown  and black matte eyeshadows from storm palette

L'Oreal Lineur Intense liquid eyeliner

Covergirl Liquiline blast pencil eyeliner

Max factor 2000 Calories mascara

Lips: 17 lipstick in "Beehive"

Just a note on the makeup, I have to sing my praises for MAC's Warm Soul blush. It's the perfect neutral blush colour that I love to use when I have any redness of spots on my cheeks (which is where they tend to pop up). It defines my face without drawing attention to any of those flaws and for that I have to say it has Holy Grail status in my books.

Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend! xx

Rainy Sunday? Shopping it is.

An outfit post!!! I know, I can't believe it either. It feels like it's been a really long time! I was heading out with my lady friends this morning for a shopping adventure and I figured I'd snap a few pictures of my casual shopping outfit.

It was so dark today, it was really hard to get reasonable lighting but you can't win 'em all.
Brogues: H&M, Jeans: Don't know where I got those..., T-Shirt: American Apparel, Jean Jacket: F21, Leopard scarf: Simons.

Great lighting in the car though! Wowza!

Face: Skin79 BB Cream, Hard Candy Glamouflage concealer, Maybelline Dream Matte powder, MAC Warm Soul Mineralize Skinfinish blush.

Eyes: CoverGirl Intense Shadowblast in "Forever Pink", L'Oreal Lineur Intense Carbon Black liquid eyeliner, Sleek black eye shadow on bottom lashline, Covergirl Lashblast + Rimmel Glam Eyes Day2Night mascaras.

Lips: MAC's Creme Cup lipstick.

2 for 1

Well lucky for you people, thanks to my lack of planning and general silliness, you get 2 outfits in one post! Rejoice!

Going out for a drink with my girl Dr. LB and I only had time to take a crumby mirror shot. And then the camera's battery died so I only got to take one crumby mirror shot. Lame. So here it is. Pleather shorts + New (old) leopard blouse + red belt +Farrah Faucet hair = recipe for a great night.
Blouse and belt: Thrifted, Pleather shorts: F21, Farrah hair: The 70s

OUTFIT NUMBER DOS

Top: Zara, Jeans and belt: Garage, Sandals: Aldo, Bag: H&M

Fun fact about these jeans: These are my second pair of these exact jeans. About a year ago I tried to repurchase them but they had changed the rise so that my bodacious butt (lol) would not fit. Flash forward to a few days ago and I realised they changed them back. Holy Grail jeans purchased once again. Balance restored to universe.

Maquillage: 

Face: Stila Tinted moisturizer, MAC Careblend pressed powder (light plus), Glamouflage Concealer (light), NYC Sunny bronzer, MAC Mineralize skinfinish blush "Warm Soul"

Eyes: Stila light pink eyeshadow all over lid (sorry dunno the name), MAC "handwritten" eye shadow in crease, Physicians Formula gel eyeliner in brown, Covergirl Lashblast mascara+ Rimmel Glam Eyes Day 2 Night mascara (epic mascara combo)

Lips: MAC Shygirl

Well this turned into a lengthy post didn't it! My bad...

Stripes and some news

I feel like I haven't done an "outfit of the day" post in the longest time. To be honest, it has been anywhere between 30-35 degrees (Celsius), with the humidity making it feel about 5 degrees hotter than that, and the mere thought of putting on clothes is almost more than I can bear most days. Now that I'm done griping about the weather, here's something I wore to lunch with my mom and brother, where we had a some champagne to toast some good news.

Blouse and skirt: F21, Necklace: Winners, Shoes: Target

Enough ambiguous-ness about this news. My kind of behind the scenes endeavor this summer was to find a job. But not like a job job, a somewhat career related, "big-girl" job. After many interviews and much stressful nervousness, I just found out that I got the job I really wanted. For the sake of keeping a semblance of privacy, I'll just say that it's in "the fashion industry" (as a vague, kind of pretentious sounding umbrella term) and I'm literally over the moon about it. 

Happy weekend little bunnies!

I had this thing to do...

I wore this to this important thing I had to do... haha ominous much?? Ok Hopefully I will be able to discuss said important thing soon. For now just take the outfit.


Blouse: Thrifted, Skirt: Forever 21, Belt: Thrifted, Shoes : Collection Bulle (I think? I got them half price ^_^).
Ps I look like I have no lips? Lighting is a tricky, tricky thing. Have a good day e'erbody!

Just a few pictures I've accumulated over the past couple of weeks! Some are from my phone so don't mind the crummy quality!

Just painting my nails outside. (P.s. I nursed that basil plant back to life!)

And then I fell back asleep... nah just joking!

Hope you enjoyed this random little post! Have a good week!

Pub Quiz

Every Tuesday we make our way over to Honey's for trivia night, hence regular Wednesday "going out" outfit posts. I say going out very loosely, as Honey's is potentially the most casual bar. You can show up in the embarrassing outfit you rolled to work in not expecting to see anyone before you got your uniform on (yeah I wear a uniform! shit!) and no one would bat an eyelash. I have been all about red these last few weeks.

I think I got really into my 70s vibe. If I extended my right arm with a pointed finger, John Travolta would be all up in my shit.
