Every word you say, say something sweet; cause all I taste is blood between my teeth.

Spent some time in Quebec City this month!


















 One trend that I absolutely love this year is beachy waves and side braids. I made two braids; one going back that I created from the hair on my bangs, and the other with some side hair and I pulled it back. Make sure you get those little baby hairs in as well! As for the beachy waves, you can achieve them by braiding your hair when its wet, or wrapping it in a bun, or better yet there are tons of products out there to create that wave! The best kind is simply made with water and salt, but I find it can make your hair crunchy and such!

Cracking voices and new bodies.

Spent the day with my best friend :)




































Just wanted to show that you can wear something like a mini skirt with a loose baggy shirt and pair it with converse to make it casual!

I'm not afraid, i'm not afraid ... to put eyeliner ;)

Okay so before I begin, let me put out a little disclaimer here. I am NOT by any means trying to endorse MAC cosmetics or any other company I choose to review. I am simply reviewing a product I adore and think would make your lives happier ones :)



Now that that's out of the way, i'll gladly tell you allllllllll about MAC's fluidline in blacktrack. It is THE awesomest shizz you will ever come across. For all of you who have never heard of this product... it's basically a gel eyeliner that comes in an assortment of colours. It glides on perfectly and lasts all..day..long. I'm not even kidding! I'll put in on at 7:15 a.m. in the morning, go to school, come back, do some excersize, take a shower, yada yada and finally around 8 or 9 p.m. i'll go check in the mirror and what's left? My winged eyeliner with only maybe a sliiiiight smudge at the end. It's absolute heaven in a wittle tub. Oh and I forgot to add that it lasts forever, no joke AND it only costed me about maybe 20 something canadian. Again, heaven I tell you. So, basically if your that girl or guy who's ever complained about how your eyeliner has smudged or completely melted off... then I suggest you run out your door and purchase some fluidline. Take my
word for it :)

When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Hi everyone!
                    So in this post, I thought we should talk about what to wear when traveling! For the past few months, I've been traveling by plane mostly, but by car as well. My biggest dilemma is what to wear when I'm going on trips! For now, let's just concentrate on what to wear when traveling by plane.

If you're going on a short, one hour to about a two hour plane ride, then you can opt for something casual, but slightly more fashionable since you don't need to be too comfortable for such a short journey!


 I think this set that I've created really lets you look great on a plane without looking too over the top (and trust me, I've seen it far too many times). Besides needing to maybe freshen up a bit after the flight, you could totally go out to dinner afterward as well! 

If you're going for a longer plane ride, which requires you to sit for long periods of time, then you should really opt for something trendy, but also comfy casual!






In this set, I decided to incorporate the crop top trend that I've spoken about recently, but in a comfy sweatshirt material! Paired with a plain white tank top, and some black leggings (for comfort, but make sure the tank top covers your backside if you know what i mean...) this out fit it definitely great for sitting on a long flight! I also paired it with some really cute blush colored ballet flats because not only is the colour really in style at the moment, but also looks really cute and girly to an otherwise basic coloured outfit. I chose to add the small charm bracelet to add a bit of pink to the top portion. Finally, my favorite piece of this whole outfit is the bag! It's such a beautiful tan colour and is the perfect size for a flight, allowing you to stash away whatever you need for a long journey!

Bon Voyage!

The fight for you is all I've ever known

One of this summer's latest trends has been the crop top. At first, I was all against it; I thought nothing good could come from the navel baring tiny tops. Boy, have I reconsidered that statement! I recently tried one on at H&M yesterday (which I really liked, but didn`t get because of the pattern). You can also get slightly more expensive ones in every colour at american apparel, but I personally really liked the ones at H&M. I must warn though, you just can`t wear them with anything. I personally like seeing them worn with swimsuits, as cover ups of course. I think that if you're really skinny and on the beach, then you can get away with wearing them with short shorts...only if you`re on the beach! Outside on the street I think they`re best paired with high waisted shorts... which in that event, even plus sized girls, like me, can get away with wearing them! I think they're a neat new summer trend!





















Loving Audrina's look, but wish her top wasn't see through!

I can finally see that you're right beside me





Okay, so this is a very controversial issue ... to wear docs or not to wear docs. I for one am absolutely freaking in love with them, Sarah on the other hand despises them. I just think that there way too awesome for their own good. Above are a pair of doc martens I lust over and below is a dress & cropped jean jacket ensemble that I think would look ridiculously perfect with them ;)

Baby, there's a shark in the water.

The Neon Trend; Love it, or Hate it?

One of last year's trends that has carried into this summer has been the neon trend. Whether it be neon nail polish, or the newest neon lacoste polo, I just plain HATE the neon trend.
Firstly,
I hate neon nail polish, ESPECIALLY if your nails are long! It reminds me of my childhood and the freaky colours we painted our nails on halloween. Personally, I refuse to believe that even the most stylish can pull off this look. I can however, tolerate it on a pedicure, maybe as a fun colour for the summer season. To each his own right? Still, I will never personally wear neon nail polish, especially on my hands!

My alternative nail trend this season that I am totally loving, is the taupe nail colour. Last fall when grey was in season I was SO into that trend. Sadly, I could never find a grey that didn't have shimmer or scary sparkles in them! Rest assured, I am still on the hunt for a great medium-grey colour. (I found a great light grey colour from OPI called Moonlight over Mumbai)

I find the taupe trend really chic and city sleekish, but more summery than the grey trend!


(These are two great colours that I totally love and intend on buying)
As for neon clothes, don't even get me started. Enough said, they're just horrible. I mean SOME shoes (skater ones mostly) with neon accents can be cool, but anything other just plain haunts me!
That's a big enough rant for one night! Good night y'all :)
