Woot! The first fashion/beauty post! So it took a while to get to this post and I’ve been hoarding all of these pictures like the pack rat that I am. LOL. First of all, I guess I should give a bit of an intro about my shopping habits/what I like to buy. First of all, I’m a lazy shopper, especially when it is winter. Now don’t get me wrong, this doesn’t mean I don’t like going shopping, on the contrary, I LOVE to shop (my mom is like this too) but I get lazy to try on clothes because I’m too lazy to always take on and off my clothes. Hence, if I know I’m going to be trying on clothes, I tend to dress in clothing that is easy to take on/off and always wear a cami. I tend to be more of a casual clothing shopper but will go through phases of going for very girly clothes. Since I’ve started working full time, I’ve been trying to buy more office appropriate attire, right now loving Club Monaco, but I don’t make enough to spend to my heart’s content there =(. I also love F21 because of their cheap but at times decent quality clothing, something I can wear for a season or two and not be heartbroken when it breaks down on me. I realize that I can’t but all of my shopping habits into one paragraph, or else it might become a 5 page essay, but I also heart shoes greatly. I used to work for Champs Sports, and I’ve amassed about 14 pairs of sneakers. But nowadays, I’m all about the heels and flats! Anyways, I think I should just start posting pictures instead of boring you to death with a hugeass paragraph!
My lovely heels
These heels are from Aldo, they have criss-crossing leather straps with a white snake skin pattern on the heel. They are 4 inches high (yikes!), but despite their sky-highness, they are quite comfortable. All in all, I love these heels.
Booooooots
These are Emus and not Uggs, but they share the same ugliness, I agree. BUT, they are comfy and keep my feet warm! So these were quite the impulse buy because as I was shopping with my co-worker in the brown Roberto Vianni boots after work one day, by toes began to rub against the top of the boots and started to form blisters. Painful to say the least. And I was always curious to why people wore Uggs/similar things to Uggs, I decided to try a pair on, WHOA, comfy! But WTF?! $250 CAD? Tried on the $100 CAD Emus, “hey, they are just as comfy! WTH?” So I decided to ask the SA at One Step Ahead, such a lovely ma and pa owned shoe store, and they told me that UGGs were pricer because of it’s name and because they killed the sheep for their sheepskin while Emus only sheared the wool off. Well, that explains a lot, so I decided to go against the sheepskin (and the $250) and went for the cheaper Emus instead, and guess what?! They were having 20% off all shoes except for UGGs! +1 for me! So just shoved the boots I was wearing into the box and wore my Emus home instead

Boyfriend jacket from Zara courtesy of the BF. This jacket is quite the nice compromise between trendy and office wear no?
I also decided to get some new skincare as I was feeling that my current skincare wasn’t doing anything for my skin anymore. So I decided to try out Clarins. I got Clarins Protective Brightening Day Lotion with SPF 20 and Clarins Pure and Radiant Mask with Pink Clay. I will give a review of these two products in a month’s time.
I did buy more things, but I think this post is long enough already. LOL.
