Forest Girl OOTD

A forest girl I'd love to be

To live among the mountains and trees

Oh what a dream to befriend the fox and deer

And have all of nature so beautifully near. 

I was lucky enough to find these adorable socks at a booth in the university. The price was too good to pass by ($7 for each). I think they would be perfect for a forest girl or mori kei outfit. Speaking of forest fashion, below is an ootd video and some more detail about the socks.

Adama Minerals ClayMask Deep Pore Cleanser Review

I bought this from iherb.com a few months ago due to the fact that my skin was having an excess of breakouts. It was $12.99 on iherb but I have seen it vitacost for less. This video details my experience with this product.

Budget Haul: Lush Christmas Giftset

I always look forward to Lush Cosmetic's Christmas items. But because I have a tendency to go overboard in that shop, I thought it would be wise to do a budget haul for a gift set. Check out the video above to see what my budget was and what I purchased.

My Kawaii Beauty Colletion

 
Cute packaging always gets the better of me. When I see a product with adorable chibi faces, or pretty decor and embellishments, I feel inclined to purchase (even if I don't really need it.) Over the past while, I've collected a few too-cute-to-handle beauty items that I've been building my kawaii beauty collection with. They can be seen in the video below and links to available items are on the links.

Mod Cloth Haul/Review

After years of simply browsing, I finally did my first mod cloth haul! Modcloth.com is a online shop that features clothes, accessories and home items that are vintage inspired. Being a girl who loves 50's and 60's style, the site always draws me back to look at what they have in stock. However, I've always found their things a little pricey (unless they have a huge sale.) But a particular item, made me decide to go from browser to buyer and I managed to get all the items for less than their original price. Checkout the video above to learn more about my shopping experience and the items I purchased.

Nail polish Haul/Review From GOSH

I finally got around to trying some GOSH cosmetics thanks to a promotion courtesy of Shopper's Drugmart. The deal was if you buy $25 worth of GOSH products, you got free mascara. I opted for nail polish. Below is a review of the haul.

Shoppers gives me something to look forward to

The winds are already getting cooler; the mind is preaparing for the long school year ahead; and summer feels like it's fading. All this can seem rather depressing. But August gives me something to get excited about: the shoppers drugmart teenpack. Every year I look forward to seeing what shoppers will include in the $9.99 pack. The price has yet to change and the products are still full size! Check what they added this year by viewing the video below.

Moments of my day Feb 8

A youtube follower requested a review of a cleanser I recieved. In order to test how well it actually removed makeup, I made the effort and did my make up (something I rarely do). That was the jist of my day; getting dressed and doing homework in between moments of dancing and napping.

The top and skirt are my new favorite pieces in my wardrobe. I wanted the skirt since last year, but it was always too expensive. Finally however, with a coupon code, the price was a little less extreme. I love all the ways I can play around with it.

The top I originally saw on weheartit.com and thought it would be something a style blogger would own. I don't consider myself a style blogger but when I saw it at H&M I had to have it.

Some days are fun, because you choose to make them that way. Even if you're sick, or busy with obligations, or worrying about something you can still take a small moment out of your day to do something enjoyable.

Yesstyle Haul/Review. Pic Heavy.

Chictopia gave me a promocode for yesstyle.ca, and seeing as how I always wanted to buy items from there, I went on a shopping spree buying practically a new wardrobe from the site. My items came within about 2 weeks. The video below shows an unboxing of the items the day I recieved the package.

My experience with yesstyle was a pleasant one. All the items were true to their description. I was in fact surprised by how nice they looked in person and on. The only con (mostly due to my error) was yesstyle sent me two of the exact same belt. My invoice showed I ordered two, but I don't recall seeing two in my cart before my checkout. I know I had wanted another belt, but instead I recieved two of the same belt.

All my items fit well. Considering that mostly everything I bought was described as onesize, I was a bit nervous, but they all fit. I have tried to include links to all the items in the haul but everything was bought on sale so some of them may be sold out.

Dolman Sleeve Knit Top

 

This was a set piece that came with a necklace. It is supposed to be baggy and is longer than expected. It can be worn as a mini dress.

Set: Shorts+Belt+Tights

I love this set piece. I was really nervous it would not fit but the elastic on the shorts makes it a good fit for those small-medium. The tights are warm and are better quality than more expensive tights I've bought. The belt is cheap and does not seem like it would last long, but it works with the set.

Inset Lace Top Chiffon Dress

   Very sheer, but pretty non the less, this dress is chiffon dress with a lace top sewn in. This picture distorts the color, but in person it is more of a light peachy pink.

Braided Buckle Elasticized Belt

This is the belt I recieved two of. I like it, but I wish I had caught that there were two in my cart.

Girl Print Pullover

 

 This is possibly my favorite item. It is very warm and I love the pockets on the side.

Wool Blend Miniskirt

Set: Drop Shoulder Top + Scarf

 The scarf on this top can be removed. This lets you wear it without a scarf, or add your own. I love the skirt and was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't as boxy as the photo on yesstyle appeared.

Red Buckled Twist Lock Satchel

This bag is not made to last, but it is cute and I love the velvet feeling material combined with with the faux leather. The cloth material seems as if it would hold up, but the leather part is very cheap feeling and looking. While it looks medium sized, it carries a lot. My entire yesstyle haul fits in it! :)

Moments of my day Jan 8

I feel I go months without seeing my friends. Perhaps that's why the opportunity arises to see them I jump on it. This was a day of shopping for my friend and I. We grabbed some sushi to kill the hungry pains and then it was back to shopping and walking around, while I clipped random into my camera, in case my memory let me down. I have a video where I share the items I bought on this day.

They were promoting a show, and gave my friend and I free tickets to see it.

A shopping we will go

You'd think I'd be all shopped out with all the shopping I did in December, but with all the sales and promos being in my path it's no wonder I've been filling my cart, online and off with lovlies. I've been trying my best to stay within budget despite my sudden shopping surge, and I've been paying attention, making sure to buy things I will cherish for quite some time, or need badly.

Because I've been stung by shopping bee, I'll most likely be doing a few posts similar to this where I showcase (show off?) items I've purchased.

The video shows and describes the items I bought for this paticular haul. One place I will be shopping more at are local asian shops. They always have cute items that suit my taste.

Moments From My Day

I often feel like a tourist in my city. This may be because I don't go out very often. As a result, everything always look new and exciting, even places I frequent-- like the grocery store in the video.

I always look at other people's blog photos and wonder, "where did they find that spot?" My sister found a photo bloggers spot a while ago and drove me to see. Though we were in my city, the ride felt amusingly toursy. A bit like taking a ride through the country in a foreign country.

Imagine your city through the eyes of a traveler and you'll most likely gain a new sense of enthusiam for it. Exploring doesn't always entail going to new lands; sometimes it means getting a different perspective.
