lookbook

Girls love checking out other girls.
Girls dress to impress girls, not guys.
If you think you've got style, check out lookbook.
Post your photos, and look at others' photos.
Are their outfits a thumbs up or a thumbs down?

STEAL- studded gladiators!

.. the best feeling is when you find it somewhere else for much cheaper!
That's what's called a STEAL!

A few weeks ago,
I bought a pair of studded gladiator sandals at H&M for about $29.
Next, I walked into Aldo Shoes and saw identical ones for $70.


Aldo Shoes $70


H&M $29


A great STEAL for my heel.

Plaid=rad

So,
plaid has been in for quite awhile now.
Ever since the summer of 2009 which is almost a year now.
One thing's for sure..
they aren't going anywhere!
Wearing plaid shirts are extremely flexible.
Wear them with skinnys, a pair of heels, a waisted belt, or buy yourself a loosely fitted one and wear them with shorts or skinnys.
Whether you're a guy or a girl,
plaid is an unquestionable MUST-HAVE item.

Get yourself a plaid shirt if you already don't have one! (..be ashamed if you don't!!!)

Plaid is a new fad we've never had!
CORRECTION: Plaid is an old fad that we've always had!

Get crafty!

I like making earrings for fun so tonight,
I decided to take apart my necklace and turn it into earrings!

All you need are a pair of mini pliers and metal cutters
and you're ready to go.

the best part about being a girl..

Psalms Accessories 91:1 is a jewelry company founded and designed by Sally Han.
The products are very uniquely beautiful and special.
Each piece has its own story behind it.
Her inspiration came from a bible verse,
Psalms 91:1

Her creative accessories have been seen in ELLE, FLARE, CHATELAINE, on Breakfast Television, in LG Fashion Week & more.
Stacey Mckenzie, Kreesha Turner, Eva Avila, Hayden Paneterri are only few of the many celebrities who wear Psalms.

Today,
Psalms had a Prom Jewelry Event in Toronto.
They had their accessories all laid out with every single piece at 10% off for students who are in dire need to accessorize their prom dresses.
From necklaces to rings to earrings and bracelets,
they had it all!

I bought myself a pair of beautiful earrings called "Allure" in gold.
From about $26,
I got it for $24 (tax included)


Allure (gold)


Oh!
Did I mention that DaLish Cosmetics was there too?
Melanie Cruickshank is the founder and creator of these cosmetic products.
They have foundation, lip glosses, mascara, liner, lip balm/cheek balm!
She makes these herself!
These products are more than affordable!
So,
today I bought myself one of the lip/cheek balms which was only $8.
It's glossy, moisturizing, colourful, and non-sticky!
If your lips are chapped,
you don't even need to put on your Burts Bees because this will moisturize your lips!
Also,
if you rub a bit of the product onto your cheek bones,
it gives you a little glow!
; )


Bubble Gum Pink Lip/Cheek balm


ALSO!
With my jewelry purchase,
I received a FREE drink coupon to DAVIDS TEA!
Plus,
a LUSH bubble bath soap!
Everything was more than worth it!


Check them out!
Online purchases are available!

hair up high


What's a casual, quick, and simple up-do you can do with your hair?
A bun!
This isn't just any 'bun'..
it's the "high bun".

Flip your head upside down, grab all your hair, and twist it into a messy bun to tie it up..
or
Tie your hair into a nice bun before going to bed really tightly,
and in the morning, it'll be THE perfect high and messy bun.
As for the little strands hanging loose,
grab a few bobby pins and click 'em back very loosely.

These high buns are perfect for glamour or casual.
Make your bun tight, sleek, and clean for a glamourous look, perhaps for prom.
And make your bun loose, with a few strands hanging out for a casual/everyday look, perhaps for school.



Clean/glamourous


Clean & chic


Glamourous


Casual everyday look

It's the simplest up-do any girl could possibly do.
Try it.

1 for me, and 1 for you!


TOMS Shoes are so adorable!
They are the lightest pair of shoes you will wear.
TOMS are canvas slip-ons that are THE shoes of this year.
Sure,
they're not the most attractive pair of shoes,
but these $50 TOMS are perfect for getting that relaxed and chill look.
Wear them with shorts,
or your favourite summer dress,
or your comfiest skinnys!

Running to the grocery store and still want to look cute?
TOMS!
Going on a first date and don't know what to wear?
TOMS!
Going to the beach?
TOMS!
These shoes are ridiculously comfy as well so no blisters!

There are so many different styles and colours to choose from!
Red, blue, yellow, white, grey, cute little patterns... they have it all!
The neatest thing about these shoes is that the inside of the shoes have cute patterns such as polka dots, cute animals etc.


These are the most popular ones called Canvas Classics.


TOMS Shoes was founded by Blake Mycoskie for children in need of something to wear on their feet!
Every pair of TOMS you buy, TOMS sends a pair for a child in need of a pair of shoes.
Makes you want to buy them even more,
right?


So,
if you're still not convinced to buying these cute canvas kicks..
even the celebrities are rockin' em!


Scarlett Johansson


Chris Pine


Shenae Grimes



Change your mind yet?


Treat yourself and buy a pair for yourself,
so that you can treat a child with a pair of shoes too!
