November Favs!

I am back with another favourites post! This time much closer to the end of the month. For this favourites post, I will be posting not only fashion, but electronics, beauty and skincare products. :)

I have had these lenses for a while, but haven't worn them in a very long time. I have recently started wearing them and I am in love with them! They are the Bambi sesame grey lenses that I received from solution lens. Hands down my favourite lens I own!




Next is my spiked head band. Now that I have a super cutesy hairstyle, I like wearing this to get a little more edge into my style. When I'm having my angsty goth days, its the perfect accessory!


My favourite new toys!! my mac book and my bamboo!! (AHHHHHHH!) These are two amazing friggin electronics that everyone should have...just sayin. I use my mac everyday (obviously) and the bamboo i use to draw animations and things. I'm still figuring out how to use it but so far its pretty amazing.


One of my favourite sweater jackets is this one from Anthropologie. The front is your basic military style jacket, and the back has this gorgeous knit pattern. Its not very warm, at all, but it looks amazing with everything you try to put it with.


I bought these tights from Ardene's I bought 2 for 10 bucks, one black and one navy blue. These tights are so cheap and so amazing. The are actually lined with really nice soft fleece like material, so they keep my legs really warm in the winter. I bought them in a medium large since i have longer legs, and they fit perfectly! In case you don't know, when buying tights, the size correlates with the length, not the width.


I have probably talked about using this soap before, but I will say again, I LOVE THIS SOAP! I have hyper pigmentation spots on my face from acne and I have tried literally everything over the counter and ridiculously expensive. I had finally found this product in an Asian grocery store, and decided to buy it to even out my skin tone and it went above and beyond my expectations. My hyper pigmentation started to settle down, my skin tone over all evened out, and even fixed the dark area under my arms from saving. For 3 dollars a bar, it does amazing magical things!


These shoes I bought during November and forgot to include in my last haul, but the are amazing. I wear them almost every day and the match so many different outfits! The only thing is that they aren't that comfy so i had to add and insole to help me wear it for longer hours. I bought them at Forever 21 during their 10 dollar off event, and got them for only 30 bucks. :)


 Lastly these are my nails for this week :) Hope you enjoyed reading about things that i like!! If you want a more in depth post on anything let me know :) Stay Tuned!!!

BIG Changes!! & Haul / NOTW


Sooooo basically I cut all my hair off. I now have a short bob style which I actually love! I have always wanted long hair, but my hair has always had other ideas, so I gave up and chopped it off last night. I cant wait to experiment with new short hairstyles and see how this cute look will work with edgier fashion.


I never really liked short hair, or thought it would look good on me, but its really nice...we will see how long I love it for though. haha

Also, I have been doing a little bit of shopping recently...some at Anthropologie (mainly at Anthropologie, some at urban outfitters and little bits here and there).

From Anthropologie I bought a few really cute pieces from their new season and some from their sale items!

First off, this army jacket. Its seriously amazing! The front is a really nice, over sized army jacket with big pockets and a nice collar. The back is the surprise.


The back is a gorgeous knitted pattern with yellows, pinks, navys and really makes the jacket pop! It goes perfectly with any style, jeans, dress, skirts etc.


The next item I bought was this super cute printed, collard dress shirt. It has an adorable bicycle man print all over it, and has navy cuffs, collar and stripe coming up the middle. It is soft and really comfy to wear. 




This is another really nice top I bought. The front and back are a sheer material, while the arms and neck are a comfy jersey type material. Its longer in the back and has a cute rolled up / button sleeve. Its really comfy to wear and really gives off an easy going professional look.


This last sweater I bought might be my favourite purchase so far. Its something I've never seen before, and soooo cute on! It has and irregular hemline along the bottom, and the back has a lace piece inside, that just peaks out along the bottom. I bought it in a medium so that it was longer  and so that the arms were a bit looser. I LOVE THIS SWEATER! It looks amazing with leather pants or with tights as well. 


This is the last item I bought from Anthropologie. These shorts are actually really really cute! They have a scalloped bottom and a really nice jacquard print with a shiny fabric. They are high waisted and look really good with opaque black tights. I cant wait to wear these with a really cute blazer and nice collard shirt!


At Urban Outfitters, I bought some amazing pieces. This cute grungy sweater with with denim vest, and Love Tarot card tank were 2 great finds in their sale section. They really look so good and the sweater is really warm


The spiked headband was from Garage, which is super crazy, since I didn't think they would have anything like that. The ox blood pants were from Urban Planet, and only cost me 20 bucks!

I also bought these black leather pants from H&M. They are really really stretch and super comfortable to wear. I'm afraid of wearing these in the summer though..we all know what its like to stack to leather seats...imagine leather pants!


Last but not least I also bought this gorgeous long skirt from Costa Blanca for 10 bucks! This is a picture of the back  since the front is just a regular skirt, but the back is rouged  and it has a slit up the side of the leg to just under the knee. Its so nice and comfy and has an effortless sexy chicness to it.


I also picked up some accessories from Anthropologie and Costa Blanca. The two belts were from Anthro, and are so cute! The silver one has a snake head and tail, so it looks like its wrapping around your waist, and the gold one as a really cute jewelled front.





The gold chain necklace I bought from Costa Blanca, and it is so nice. Its the perfect accessory to throw on with literally anything, even a bummy sweater!


I'm happy with everything I got and I didn't break the bank getting em! I wonder how they will all go with my new hair... :D 

My next post will probably be a review..I just don't know on what yet. haha MYSTERY REVIEW!
I will leave you with my new nails for this week! Ciao!

October Haul cont.... -___-" late post!

It seems I have spoken way too soon on my last monthly haul post. Alas, on the last day of October I kind of splurged... It was rainy and cold and such a sad day, soooo shopping cured my bad day blues!


As you can see in the picture, I bought a few shoes and a new jacket. I also got a new lipstick and a really cute clutch!
 
This is the lipstick I bought, Revlon's super lustrous lipstick in the colour sultry sable. Its the perfect wine colour for this season, and the perfect match for my skin tone.
 
 
 
 
 The clutch I bought was from Anthropologie, and I love it to bits! its the perfect size to hold everything i need, but small enough to go with an elegant dress or a hot night out dress. At 28 dollars it was a great buy or this chic and thoughtful bag. It is actually a constellation bag, which has a constellation on the front, your birth sign on the back as well as 3 words best describing your sign on the inside. They come in grey with silver, and gold and cream.

A close up picture of my new shoes!! A pair of black suede wedge boots at 30 dollars...
 
And i caved and bought these gorgeous black, suede and spike Lita knockoffs for 35 dollars.
 
 
Last but not least, I bought this really cute, 2 toned leather and tweed jacket. Its actually extremely warm and gives off a really nice, crisp look. It only cost me 20 bucks which was a great price from its original 64 dollars.
 
 
Stay tuned for my next post, my October Beauty and Health Favs!! Also I have been nominated for the blogging Leibster Awards, so be sure to check out my upcoming post with my nominations and some questions about me!! Hope everyone is having a great day!

October shopping haul

Since moving out, Ive been trying to spend less money and only buy necessities or items iv been dyeing to buy, which means I will be having smaller hauls to show and talk about. Since  this is now the case, iv decided to do monthly shopping hauls instead of lots of little ones through out the month. This month i have bought some things that iv been dying to get, some that are necessities, and some that are a little bit of a let down but still perfect for the coming cold season.
 
 
My first stop is usually H&M, and I did find some great basic items there. I got a great pair of ankle length dress pants for $15 and a cropped sweater for $14.95. Also I love stopping over in the kids section and getting nice button up tops. I found a great blue button up in the boys section for only $19.95.
 
 
 
My next stop was Forever 21, where I got an amazing pair of high wasted leather pants! Ive been searching for leather shorts for ages and I'm so happy I found them for under 20 bucks there!
 
 
A new store I have also started shopping at is one called Anthropologie. Its a high priced store which offers very artistic and vintage looking clothing and home wear.  So far I have only bought 3 pieces from the sale section, which I do wear quite often. I bought this wonderful sheer printed top which is great for layering, this very interesting black Tshirt/ tank top in black, and this amazing lace top with a cotton overlay material. The colour is really gorgeous and the fabric feels extremely luxurious. These tops all ranged from 10 dollars to 40, with their original prices ranging from 68 to 100 dollars.
 
 
 
 
 
The last items I bought were accessories and makeup. From Shoppers Drugmart, I bought this gorgeous purple lipstick. Although it turned out a completely different colour then what I thought it would be, I still think i can wear it in the winter with certain outfits.
 
 
I also bought some new watches, since all of mine have come to a timely end..... Like that? timely..for watches...get it?! HA! But anyways, American Eagle was having a sale, and I got 2 watches for the price of one, 30 dollars to be exact. The first watch I picked was an everyday watch, black rubbery band with a black and gold face. The second was a dressier bigger watch in complete rose gold.
 
 
 
So that is it for now! Do check back soon because I will be doing a special Halloween makeup look! And if you wanna see anything in particular, do leave comments so I know what to show you guys! Have a good day!
 
 

QUICK SURVAY!! Would you buy stuff if i had a Blog Sale??
