A Few Things I've Bought This Month

 I tend to go through periods of ups and downs with my shopping... sometimes I buy next to nothing and other times I buy whatever the hell I like! It's not much, but it's mostly because I'm not posting everything that I've bought this month but these are my favorites so far :)

Vero Moda Sweater, Expression Necklaces, The Body Shop Foundation Brush

L'Oreal Magic Smooth Souffle Foundation in 522. 

This foundation is sooooooo smooth and silky, I think it already has primer in it? The texture really feels like there's silicone in it ... maybe thats why it's so smooth. This is the perfect shade for me but too bad it's being discontinued and this was the last one at work :( I got it for 50% off and an additional 10% employee discount. 

LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL!!

I finally ordered Star's new album "The North"... I don't know why it took me so long, I love them! If you're into indie-pop then try listening to them. I recommend "A Song is a Weapon," " The Theory of Relativity,"  "Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When you Give It."   And that infrastructure on the cover? It's located in Montreal :)
My sister and I were randomly singing some songs one night... and realized we didn't have this album! A Walk to Remember was my favorite film, I enjoyed all the songs in it... and lo and behold there's an extended version of it on Amazon! So I ordered it, and I think my music life right now just might be a little more complete...(and if I also steal the Of Monsters And Men CD I bought for my boyfriend for Christmas...)

Yes Sir, Sorry Sir 點解阿Sir係阿Sir -Tavia Yeung

I've just recently finished watching "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir." It was alright, I liked the undercover cop story and it was lighthearted and had a high school setting so it was a likeable drama. But what really caught my eye was Tavia's style in the drama. She makes me want to go out and buy blazers!
This neutral cropped blazer is a perfect for spring! I know everyone is pretty much in summer mode but Montreal's summer weather isn't stable yet. I just love the cut of this cropped blazer, the mid-cuffed sleeves add a little edge to the neutral blazer.

I'd love to incorporate color into my wardrobe and I think this would be an easy way to do so. Boyfriend blazers have been in style for quite some time now, but if only they were cut and designed like the V that the blazer makes when she puts her hands in her pockets.

I simply adore the blazer she's wearing in this scene. I screen capped 2 images together. The double lining is quite unique. I also like how it looks buttoned. I haven't seen an affordable alternative yet.

The chiffon detailed layering is also one of my favorites. I have a feeling that this is a cardigan though but cute nonetheless.
A pale pink blazer is feminine yet professional. I like how she wore it with a ruffled white top to bring out the femininity of the piece. This along with the neutral cropped blazer are my favorites.

I hope this post inspires you to look for blazers! I can't wait to go shopping for them in late summer/fall for the school year!

Haul

I went shopping today, I wasn't really supposed to do that. I have so many projects and preps to do for next week but I couldn't help it! Went to the mall and headed straight to H&M. I wanted scallop/petal shorts from the new Conscious Collection but they didn't have it. My sister saw them at the H&M downtown but it was in a size 10, there was no way I was fitting in that. Instead I walked around browsing the store.

Here's what I got:
Belt, H&M. Dress, H&M. Shoes, Aldo.

The dress is super adorable and perfect for spring! It's light blue with white flower prints and black leaves! I can't wait to wear this out! I bought this in a size 4, but for some reason the waist string (which isn't adjustable) is a bit loose compared to the same dress with a different pattern. This was the last one so I couldn't do anything about it. Here's the pattern up close!


I needed a thin belt to belt shirts and dresses so I bought this one from H&M. I had my sister buy a belt from Forever21 for me but it wasn't meant to be for the waist. Saw the belts section at H&M and decided it was worth paying double the price for something that actually was the right length. It's a cute black belt with gold rings.

I went to Aldo next. I really need heels for next semester (I know... I think ahead of time) and I decided now was the time to get good deals on Fall/Winter shoes. I saw these online a while ago but they weren't worth $90. I went in today and saw that they were marked down to $30! These wedges are 3 inches tall. It's a good heel height but I'm used to 4+ inches for my heels. I decided walking around in 3 inch wedges for long periods of time is better than my usual 4 inch heels for random (non-daily) occasions.

Shoes, Aldo. (My cat checking up on me!)
