Winter consists of thermals and plaid








Getting Ready video for this look:



I love this thermal long-sleeved shirt, it's so warm and comfy. I wish I had grabbed some more before they sold out.. Basically what I did this morning was get my wisdom teeth taken out. I was awake during the whole procedure and at one point my dentist and her assistant made a joke and we all laughed. Yes, I laughed while getting my teeth pulled out. It felt very therapeutic actually. Someone asked me why I never show what jacket I wear in my outfit of the days. The reason is that I live in Canada so there is no way for me to look fashionable in the kind of jacket I wear. I'll do a video/post on my Canadian winter wear soon. 

ps. above you can watch the "getting ready" video I recorded for that day. On a daily basis I wear less makeup but what the hey.

A kind of review






Hey remember my last post about tall boots? Well I went to Zara and tried the wedge ones but they were so uncomfortable and I couldn't find the gator ones anywhere! So I copped these studded booties instead. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anymore booties, but every time I went to Zara they were THERE so after much deliberation I spent half my paycheck on them. And I'm glad I did, they're so wonderful.

Here are my thoughts: I love the looseness and boxyness at the ankle part. If you don't like space at the ankles then these are not for you! For a person who finds it hard to buy shoes because of extremely wide feet, these are really comfortable! Don't let the pointyness scare you like it scared me at first. The heel is not high but it's high enough that it's beautiful.
Sorry about the crappy picture. Outfit posts with them will be up soon!

Boot season is here...





Lately I've been on the hunt for black leather tall boots with heels. I want the calf part to be loose and stiff, not slouchy or tight. I've been eyeing a few pairs from Zara but I haven't had the guts to buy them yet. Here are a few I'm loving at the moment.

Spat heel boot (Zara) - $169
High cut wedge boots (Zara) - $199
Sonny boots (Elizabeth and James) - $495

My fave is the high cut wedge boots from Zara. Hopefully I will make them mine this week :)

Recycling outfits




Worst pictures ever. This is basically last post's outfit with a different skirt and sweater. Really shows how much I love the chunky sweater + skirt + boots look these days. Note-to-self: wear something different tomorrow. This skirt is one size too big for me, but I tried to make it work.

Take me out







The weather was pretty okay today so I decided to wear a skirt. Sweater borrowed from Megz (read her blog here) and apparently it makes me look like a piƱata. Anyways, this is what I look like on a good day at school. Hope everyone's having a good week, I'm having a pretty fantastic one!

Sir









Hey y'all, I am literally a man. Someone stop me from shopping in the Gap men's section. I really loved the Alexander Wang tweed-print sweatpants (found here). I'm so glad I found these... they're actually pyjamas :) this is the most casual i would ever go. I finally have a post up with my sneaker wedges. Self-five.

Ombr-hey!







Woah, long time no blog. I've been loving this waffle-knit sweater a little too much. And these ombre pants make my legs look weird but I got them a while ago and decided to rock them today. p.s. man those thighs are looking meaty.
