sheer top from Hot Topic, Topshop tank, Joe's Jeans leggings, Converse sneakers Happy Hump Day, everyone:)

A few of the beauty products I've been using and really loving lately:) 1) Julie Hewett Cheekie in Peachie I use this as a blush everyday. (After foundation, I put this on, followed by a setting powder, then the MAC blush in Melba. This really works to make my blush stay on the whole day.) I love this cheekie because you can use it as a lip colour too. 2) Organix Moroccan argan oil Great for adding shine to hair, and reasonably priced too. 3) L'Oreal Miss Manga Voluminous mascara I've seen rave reviews on this mascara, and  finally bought it after seeing it on Elle Sees' blog  as well. I now understand the hype. I bought the waterproof version because my eyes water a lot. It stays put, y'all, and really does work amazeballs! 4)Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum I usually use the Vichy Lift-Activ serum, but wanted to try a less expensive version. I bought this to try, and like it. I love the texture. 5) Becca Concealer  in Banana This is

My youngest one just had her senior kindergarten graduation. Gaaaaaaaah! They're growing up so fast! Topshop jacket, tank from Anthropolige, skirt I knitted, Aldo shoes It was such a pleasure knitting this. The pattern is from Sylvia Olsen's book . Happy Hump Day, everyone!

I still remember watching the original Jurassic Park movie in the theatre, guys. Ever since, I've been a big fan of the the series. And now, with having little kids, I can share the love of dinosaurs with them. :D My middle child, especially, had been so excited for the Jurassic World to come out that he started a count down since the beginning of the year. I promised him we'd see it on opening day, so of course, I pulled the boys out of school on Friday so we could watch it! Bwahaha! Looking oh so cool with our 3D glasses Needless to say, we all loved it. Just a great entertaining movie, and the dinosaurs.....the dinosaurs!!!!! I loved that  climactic scene when there's a battle between...well, no spoilers here. Let's just say....oh...my...gosh! The human characters were a bit of a stereotype, but the dinosaurs more than made up for that...and well, Chris Pratt was okay to look at, too...ahem.... Can we talk about the awesomeness of Bryce Dallas Howar

Just a very casual outfit, guys, but I just want to show you this awesome hoodie:D Glamour Kills No Regrets hoodie, old Old Navy skirt, Vans slip ons Happy Thursday :)

This oversized and fringed Topshop jacket is my new fave. I feel very Olsen-like in this, minus the wealth and looks. At least, I have their height, right? Right. Topshop jacket, Lole tunic, American Eagle jeans, Vans slip ons Are you a fan of fringe? There's something very boho about it:)

I love that you can wear knitted items any time of the year. This top I knitted is made out of cotton/rayon yarn, so very wearable during the warmer months:) top I knitted over a Topshop tank, old pants from Target, Converse sneakers

Last Friday (May 29th), I had the chance to attend author/knitting expert Sylvia Olsen's Great Canadian Knitting Tour  workshop in my area. In this tour, she discusses the history of Coast Salish knitting, in particular the Cowichan sweater tradition . Guys, I was really lucky to get in this workshop. I was on the wait list because the class was full. Fortunately, the yarn shop ( Creative Yarns ) was able to hold another one because too many wanted to do the class...yay! To see these authentic Cowichan items was just great, and Ms. Olsen is such a great story teller. If you have the opportunity to go see her, I highly recommend it:) The workshop included a toque kit (yarns and pattern), because we were also taught how to knit the way Coast Salish knitters do. So different from the traditional colour work style of Fair Isle/Intarsia knitting.... This dress was awesome outside AND inside. There was a draw for prizes that the yarn owner (Nina) did.
