Archie s Day

So on this particular Saturday I was invited to go to the Archie s comic launch at MAC which I was super excited about because when I was at the m.a.c store earlier that week the makeup artists were saying I would love the Veronica range because they saw that I like bold lips and makeup. The morning of, however I decided to do something completely different and go for the Betty look instead. I wanted to try something outside of my comfort zone of black eyeliner and bold lips, and I was thinking going for a lighter makeup look would look nice in Spring and Summer.



I liked how the eyes looked with the soft gold shadow and really liked the peach cheeks, but I think I still prefer a bold lip. Im thinking the eye makeup is light and neutral enough to wear a bold bright lip like m.a.c's girl about town which I have been loving. I'll have to try it someday.



Any-hoo this is what I wore that day, I wanted to wear something light and spring like to go with the makeup and the artists loved it and even "Archie" came and complimented me haha. I did get to take a picture with him but didn't get the email with it. :( I think I wrote my email wrong, I seem to do that a lot uh oh.

Oh look silly hand dance. :) Have a wonderful Wednesday!

A Favourite

This is probably my favourite vintage dress and I didn't even buy it online. I found this beauty while browsing a local vintage shop, they were having a 50% off sale and I thought I wasn't going to find anything I really wanted.  I spotted a 50s shirtwaist dress with butterflies in autumn colours. They dress fit but funds were low and I was running late to meet a friend for  lunch.



Well my goodness after telling my friend about the dress and showing her a picture, we decided we had to go back and get it. As I was about to leave I saw this beauty hanging on the wall as a display and asked the owner if it was on sale, it was. yippee. BUT I was doubtful that it would fit but to my surprise it fit perfectly. Now it pretty much is my favourite dress. I even cried (kind of) when the shoulder ripped a bit :(, but quickly sent it to get fixed. I paired it with my thick knitted cropped sweater that I thrifted a couple of years ago. Why is it so hard to find cardigans that are either cropped or waist length? Im always searching for the perfect cardigan.



Well I'm off to enjoy some oranges with dark chocolate sauce and a cup of tea. Mmmm I hope you all have a lovely week. :) Oh Happy Valentines Day. :)

Awkwardness and frizzy hair

Ahh nothing like looking at a photo of yourself and realizing you are way overdue for a hair appointment, I think I keep postponing it because I am not sure what I want to do next. Same red hair or more copper a la Christina Hendricks or go back to brunette or just add highlights, then it thoughst like should I grow it out or cut it short again. Ahh I am at war with myself...ok not really but you get the jist. Also I think blurry photos are my thing. I don't know what it is but I like that it isn't clear but you see the silhouette and colours. Not everyones taste but I like it, at least for now.



I got this dress back in September from etsy, it reminded me of this dress that Taylor Swift wore. Now I am not the biggest fan of Taylor (I do like her but Im not crazy about her and probably don't know much of her music) but I sure do like what she wears, gosh I so want her wardrobe.



I was delighted to find out that my Jcrew cardigan matches it perfectly. Oh and my lips have remnants of trying on lipsticks at MAC after class. I bought Girl about town the other day but was doubtful of it and kept thinking about the more pink/coral Impassioned. As I couldn't remember what GAT looked like on me, and in the tube it looks rather intimidating, I needed to reassure myself that it was the right colour. Turns out I liked it so I kept it but am still a little hesitant on wearing it. I find it weird that I find it scary to wear pink or in this case fuchsia but I will wear any shade of red. Its completely out of my comfort zone I suppose. Heres to being more adventurous and less shy. Have a lovely Week :)

Dreaming

Dreaming, It's what I have been doing a lot of lately. Maybe its the January blues or the fact that I live in 'Raincouver'. It s been dark, rainy, constant overcast days, we had fog for a while and that was neat, but as any human would probably agree, too many dark days in a row its hard to want to get out of bed in the morning. I enjoy every season for what they have to offer but like they say too much of something is not such a good thing.

So I catch myself day dreaming of Spring and Summer, the bright twirly dresses, rainbow coloured flowers, the warmth of the air, the cool grass beneath your feet, the fresh fruit to be picked and enjoyed. Honey bees busy at work and the smell of fresh herbs in the garden, dinners eaten outside under fairy lights and twinkling stars. Ahh all the things I look forward too.



And because I haven't seen the sun in quite some time, I think I shall go make myself lemon tarts, or something with lemon in it. I'm sure its the perfect remedy.
