Mia Gusset Booties - Boohoo review


I'm back and with a review from BooHoo. I've seen these booties online everywhere and i had to get my hands on a pair. BooHoo gives the latest trends in Europe which is ahead in fashion compared to north america. I got these babies for $40 which is a steal. There are comfy and I can dress them up or down based on the place or event I'm attending. Boohoo has easily become one of my favorite online stores, for any event I'm attending or simply feeling the urge to shop this is the first place I head to find the latest trends.

Toronto Imats 2014 Haul (Picture heavy)


This was my first year going to Imats, after reading a couple blogs I kinda figured what to expect and what to do to prepare myself. I got to the convention centre around 9:15am, the line to get in was moving pretty fast. Inside there were already insane lines for MAC which was 20% off, MUFE which was 40% and Nigel's Emporium which a ton of products. I made a list of things that I wanted but I also ended up getting some Christmas presents here as well for the people  went with. I stayed till 11-ish by that time I was exhausted and I had had my fill. My motivate was to hunt down the booth that sold sigma which was an amazing deal I got two brushes F35 for $11 and F50 for $13 and the Ben Nye Banana powder which was nearly impossible but I did it. Below is my haul of things I got at Imats.
I really enjoyed my experience at Imats and I will definitely go again, its like an adrenaline rush and there is so much to see.  
Some tips for people:
1. Get there early it gets packed fast
2. Make a list if you know what you want, makes it s much fast
3. BRING CASH - I cannot stress this enough
4. Bring water, it gets very hot in there and a bottle of water there cost around $3

Korean Time




One of my food obsessions is Korean food, every time. It's the one food I an't turn down.
My friend and I went to lunch the other day on the west of Bloor street which is the heart of Korean town in Toronto. Some of the best and authentic dishes can be found here and for a cheap price.
I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have a lunch special which we got. Above is pork bone soup and below is a Korean pancake with all the fixings.
Such delicious and filling dishes.

OOTD Ripped jeans and plaid


When im heading to school I love to be comfortable. My usually go to is a pair of jeans and a top its minimal effort and looks like i put effort into my outfit. 
I recently fot these ripped jeans from american eagle, which was paired with a grey crop top from Urban Outfitters and a simple plaid top over.
Simple and clean. Add jewelry if you feel like it. I lik to add a long necklace and a ring keeping it kinda grungy.

I just wanted to make a quick post about lunch today, I sent this pic to my cousin and she told me it looked like it came out of  Chatelaine magazine. So i thought hey why not post this beauty. Its a simple aAsiansalad of my own creation. It has croutons,  spinach leaves, red and green cabbage and some edamame beans to top it off. Super fast and delicious and I got to watch one of my fav movies "A Maid In Manhattan" ughh I love JLo in this, one of her best in my opinion.

Cute packaging



Quick post today.
I love how Aritzia packages their shipments. One of the cutest and unique packages I've gotten thus far. This is from a couple weeks ago when Aritzia had their end of summer sale. One of their best sales I might add lots of nice things and for really good prices and the best part they almost always have sizes. Thats it for today. It's pretty grey out and I have to go to work .... sucks but what are you going to do.

Hitting Pan with Revlon Nearly Naked Powder



For the first time I've hit pan. I'm pretty happy because this is one of my go to, never fail, never leave the house (only when I'm wearing makeup) products. I have crazy oily skin that gets oily by just walking outdoors. So to keep my face matte all day long I have my trusty powder. It was my mom who actually got me into powders, and it has stuck with me ever since. The fact that the powder is tinted means on lazy days I don't even put on tinted moisturizer or foundation on my skin.
I guess it will be time to get  new one but until then i'll use this sucker until there's nothing left.
Have you ever hit pan on any product before? if so what was it?
Thanks for reading :)

Back to School Wishllist

With back to school around the corner or in most cases in Canada 3 WEEKS! WHERE DID SUMMER GO! It felt like only yesterday I ran out of school saying seeya in September.
Sigh* but anyways its that time of the year, so in the spirit of things I decided to do my back to school wishlist.
I think this is a fun way to add things to your closet and everyday life, that you can save up for.

First lets starts with cosmetic.
1. Philosophy Purity face cleanser 
I've been looking for a good cleanser to go with my clarisonic
and that is not for acne prone skin, as thankfully I'm out of that phase.  


2. Marc Jacobs Dot Perfume
I loved the sample that I got.
I want to add to to my collection plus its good to smell good



3. MUFE Rouge Artist lipstick #44
I've been eyeing this lipstick for a long time. 
I have yet to own a red lipstick and every girl should own one



4. Sigma Pencil Brush
I want this brush for it's precision in applying colour to a cut crease

Next we move on to fitness and nutrition

5. Shredz  fat burner
I have yet to find if it can ship to Canada or not.
This will help to further my toning and shaping of my body

6. Matefit Detox Tea
I've always wanted to try a detox 
Plus this will be perfect when I start that hectic school schedule and will not be able to eat right all the time

Fashion
Probably the best part of the changing season and one of the reasons why Fall is my fav season

7. Denim Joggers Pacsun
A staple item for the fall
The only problem I can't find them in Canada yet.

8. Red lumberjack Plaid shirt from Garage
Plaid = Fall  . . . Nuff said

9. Military Jacket from Ariztia
Perfect for transitioning from warm days into cool nights
Great for a layered thrown together look

9. Aldo booties
Must have for every girls wardrobe for fall
Boots are essential for this season
Ankle booties from Aldo
10. Bootie from Aldo
Leather says fall so why not have them on your shoes
Staple piece for fall and your closet.
These will go with any outfit

Booties from Aldo

There we have it, my back to school wishlist and must-haves.
Thanks for reading :)

DIY Plate Stand


TGIF peeps!
Too bad I still have to go to work, Fridays just don't feel the same.
Anyways back to the post I've been wanting to do this DIY from since a year ago but only this summer I made it my mission to do one of my diy's from my list of diy's to do.
I really liked how this looks and you can go for any style from funky and tribal to classy and sophisticated. 
I decided to have a theme of gold and white to compliment my room (which I hope to repaint soon)
I got all of the plates and candle sticks from the thrift store. I used Gorilla glue to hold everything in place.
I really liked how to look turned and I've gotten a lot of compliments from friends and family. 
Lately I've been trying to organize my jewelry and makeup lately, so stay tuned for more organization tips and ideas.
