Holiday outfit and makeup tips and tricks

With the holidays around the corner, its time to put that gorgeous fancy dress, and swipe on that amazing lip stick you've been eyeing down.

This season I am loving the dark red and plum lip colours. Something classy, but with a little bit of edge.

A tip for applying dark lipstick: Try to get a lip liner that matches your stick, as well as keep a makeup wipe close by. Go slow around around the lip edges.

These two lip sticks are from MAC. I love them both, and I'm going to buy them ASAP for the holidays.

As well as makeup, dressing properly for the occasion is very important. I love sticking with black, red, and gold dresses for the holidays. These are E news top dress picks that I love! Hopefully they'll bring some inspiration for your holiday outfits. 

I wish you all the happiest Holidays! Be safe everyone.
Talk to you all in January!

Bound 3, bound to be a hit!

Last week, all everyone could talk about was Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Bound 2 music video. 

The naked shilloute of baby mama Kim mixed with Kanye's clothing choice made for a very interesting video. 

But Seth Rogen and James Franco made an even bigger impact with their Bound 3. 

I loved Kimye's first video. I thought she looked amazing, it was very different from the stereotypical music video. But Seth and James version had me laughing the entire time. 

Kim is such a fashion icon of mine, but seeing how she brushed this off made me love her even more. 

Here are the two video's links from E Entertainment and YouTube! Watch both and let me know what you think of these two!

Dedicated to David and Scott.

Yesterday, my high school class mates and I lost another friend and school mate to depression. In the past year, two former class mates of mine took their life.

Today I wanted to write about this issue. I know this is a fashion blog, but this issue is more important. Feeling your best is a key factor to looking your best.  

If you ever feel that you are alone in the world, your not. Many people out there can help. I don't want anyone to tell that they are not loved in this crazy world. 

So please, if you ever need to talk about anything, I am always there for you. 

R.I.P David and Scott. You are both missed dearly by friends and family. 

Pass the toilet paper, please?

On Sept.25, 2013 it was the 10th anniversary of the Canadian White Cashmere Collection fashion show.

This is a fashion show like no other.  Twenty famous Canadian fashion designers put together a collection made out of toilet paper. This was a fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Supporters voted for their favourite outfits, and the toilet paper company Cashmere, will donate one dollar to the foundation.

The tag line for this event is:Designing a future without breast cancer.

What do you guys think about this event?
I think it's such a creative way to have fun, and awareness for breast cancer.

Here are some designs from the show!

Fab Fur or Fail Fur?

So, I have been discussing the issue of faux fur with some of my girlfriends lately, since it is one of this season top trends. In the past few weeks I have been giving in to this trend, I recently bought a white fur vest, a white hat with a fur pom-pom, and a fur scarf. Of course these are all fake, I don't think I could get a fur scarf for 40 dollars from Indigo..

So we were talking about whether it is 'right' to wear faux fur. Even though it is faux, does it change the impression you are putting out there?

Personally, I love animals. I also love faux and real fur. So this is a constant battle for me. I only own one thing that is real fur, a pair of black and white mittens my grandparents gave me a few years ago.  I love it just as much as I love my faux fur, but I feel bad every time I put them on.

So what do you think about this faux fur controversy?

Here's a pic of me sporting my adorable and cozy faux fur scarf this week!

Nail the nails

Lately I've been researching nail polishes and what is in with this seasons looks.

I'm really liking plums, browns, and reds.

Last week I painted my nails purple with a gold highlight nail. This week I painted them a darker red.

Here are my tips for the perfect mani:

1. Soak your hand in warm soapy water
2. Push back the cuticles
3. Pluck any unwanted hang nails from around the edges
4. File to your preferred shape.
5. Apply base coat, two layers of your colour, then a top coat.

Heres my nails of the week, well of the day, I like to change mine up a lot!

Happy manicuring!

Touques for dayss..

So today is Monday. And it was a rough day. I'm not going to lie, I didn't shower before I went to school. So I used the best quick trick to a bad hair day. A touque. Toque's are the perfect accessory for day hair days, and for the colder season! They can look amazing with a few quick steps!

1. If you have bangs like me, and your to lazy to fix them up, like me, then just pin them to the side.

2. Depending on your hair type, you can straighten the ends, or curl pieces, like I did today.

3. Hair spray like no tomorrow. Don't allow your bangs to come out of that bobby pin!

4. Put the hat on. If you are wearing a beanie, place on your head, tuck your ears under, and the beanie back a little, until you can see your hair line. If you are wearing a normal touque, just place it on your head however you prefer!

There, now you know my secrets! Here are my fav examples of the perfect touque wear!

Enjoy your touque's!

Warning: you will get hat hair!
