It's like a sauna in here!

Another heat wave has hit the city. I don't know how I feel about it. I mean, it is officially summer so this should be expected. At the same time, there's something disturbing about walking out of the house and feeling like you're in an oven. H&M shirt and shorts, Roots chukka boots Anways...have a great weekend, everyone, and to my fellow Canucks, Advanced Happy Canada Day!

Lost in translation

I love this shirt, as it's black, comfy, and I don't really understand what it says. Please note that I do not condone smoking nor drinking, nor smoking AND drinking! top from Urban Outfitters, Old Navy jeans, DV by Dolce Vita booties I would just like to add that the jeans are soooo old that they frayed like this. I didn't buy them like that:) Happy Thursday, dudes! One more day til the weekend...sweeeeeet:)

For those endless summer nights

Image
Now that summer weather has taken over North America (most days anyway), I thought I'd post my favourite beauty products for the hot days:) Skin: Eucerin Moisturizer with SPF (a must) and Aquaphor Lip Repair Face: My daily makeup: nothing too heavy coz there's nothing worse than heavy makeup and sweat combined! (The Body Shop Blush Trio Shade in Warm Sunset, Quo Brow Focus in Brunette, Garnier BB Cream) Hair: Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray and Lush R&B Hair Moisturizer to combat the frizz (which is always a battle for me) Scent: Versace Bright Crystal Perfume (a great light scent for the summer) What are your favourite summer products? Do tell:)

I know it might be redundant to pair a floral print with green, but it sure is environmentally-friendly, eh? :P Topshop shirt, Current/Elliott The Stiletto jeans, Old Navy booties I never get tired of wearing booties, even in the summer:P Have an awesome Sunday, everyone:) How's your weekend?

Fekking hot!

Image
This was taken on a day that was so hot and humid that I wanted to wear something light and airy but still covered. (It was BOILING that the city had a heat alert!) It's supposed to be cooler today....fingers crossed.... Zara top and jeans, Tod's loafers My daughter is obsessed with cleaning the backyard every time we're out there! Seriously! My feet were hurting that day, and these shoes were much needed by my feet:) Have a great weekend, everyone:) PS Here's a little something to make you smile. Our eldest son did this when he was left alone with the computer:)

New in...Haystack Floral

I was really happy to find these jeans on sale at Aritzia :) I just fell in love as soon as I saw them. These are going to be on heavy rotation...you've been warned! Current/Elliott The Stiletto jeans in Haystack Floral Happy Hump Day:)

Father's Day 2012

Image
This post is dedicated to the awesomest dads that I know:) Taken when our middle child was was just born...good times:P My dearest dad (who passed away in 2006)- This was taken Halloween 2005.  Father's Day ended up being a great and relaxing day. My in-laws took the kids for the day, so my husband and I went downtown for some "let's pretend we're dating again" time, as the weather ended up being nice(although they predicted rain!). The whole clan then up met for dinner:) John Eshaya JET tunic, Urban Behavior leggings, Steve Madden booties, Topshop bag The North by Northeast (NXNE) happened this weekend too, so that's the stage behind me (in Yonge and Dundas Square). Hope everyone had a great weekend, and here's to a fab work week ahead:)

Obsession #14

Image
Since getting the  tie-dye pants from Zara, my lust for this print has now travelled to bags! image from topshop.com image from upla.fr They would make great summer bags, eh? What are you coveting lately?

When the weather is fine...

Image
Yay for the great weather! To me, hot days are all about being laid-back and fancy-free, and well, you can't get any more laid back than this outfit:P Theory shirt, H&M boyfriend shorts, old Converse sneakers Have a great Thursday, everyone:) Hope the weather is great wherever you are.

Noble gas

This picture was taken on a cloudy morning, so I thought what better way to brighten up the day than to wear my trusty neon shirt. (I titled this post as above, as that's what comes up first when you look for the definition of neon, referring to the element Neon ...heehee...I kinda like it:P) Wilfred top from Aritzia, Rampage skirt, Steve Madden Pembrook booties Have a wonderful Tuesday, guys:)  

The half-tuck

Image
My sis and I were discussing the other day the popularity of the half-tucked shirt. A lot of bloggers do this for their pics (or perhaps in real life:P). So, on that note, I thought I'd do an outfit pic with me doing so. H&M shirt, Target pants, Steve Madden booties  How I really wore the outfit the whole day:P  So comfy....yay! Do you guys like the half-tucked-in-shirt look? To be honest, I've always thought this was a silly thing to do, especially coz everytime I do it, it just looks sloppy.

Vested interest

Image
This vest has been getting a lot of mileage lately, which is kinda sad considering it's already June:P Gap knitted vest, Wilfred top from Aritzia, H&M harem pants, Jeffrey Campbell booties These pics were taken before dropping the boys off to school, so the middle child decided to join in the fun:P Well, it's Friday, guys....gonna get down on Friday....everybody's looking forward to the weekend:P

New in....variety

Image
I had another kids-free day on the weekend, and took advantage of it by doing some shopping. Here's the haulage: Lush R&B hair moisturizer with sample of a shampoo bar 2 shorts from H&M that were on sale Steve Madden Pembrook suede booties in Taupe (ON SALE TOO!!!!) Look at all the freebies from Steve Madden! The original plan was to get summer sandals. What can I say? Must really stop this unhealthy obsession with ankle booties! I don't know why I'm stuck on this type of shoes, what with the warmer weather coming soon...sigh....these Pembrooks are so pretty though, aren't they?:P Anyhoo, hope everyone's having a great week so far:)

Below seasonal

It's been really cool and rainy the past few days...sigh...sweaters are back out from the closet. Express sweater, LEI jeans from Walmart, Aldo Bubb booties I've been wearing these boots a lot lately. N.B. I usually don't mention current events on this blog, but on Saturday (June 2nd), the mall I went to (Eaton Centre) had a shooting a few hours after I left.  I was really glad that, first, I left early, and second, that I was alone and the family was not with me (in case I didn't leave early). Thoughts and prayers to the  people affected by this tragic event:(

 Random things I'm really into lately...:) Shades of Grey Trilogy Readers either truly love or hate this series. I'm obviously in the former group...I am Twilight Mom after all:) Have you guys seen this SNL parody of the books/Amazon? H-I-L-A-R-I-T-Y!!! (Warning:NSFW)                             Topshop satchel I bought a year ago. Have been using this a lot lately as it's the perfect size for my daily use. The new Maroon 5 single Payphone ...oh...em...gee. I'm obsessed! Best part of the song: If "Happy Ever Afters" did exist, I would still be holding you like this Sam Fine's Basics of Beauty DVD (I love Sam Fine, and this DVD is da bomb!) He's an awesome makeup artist! The healthiest snack ever:P Must...stop....eating.... This makes a regular popcorn super awesome! Have a great weekend, everyone!!! And as usual, please do tell what you guys are currently loving!
