[Outfitting] - Blissed Out

This is my second attempt at taking some fashion photos. Totally better then my first round in my opinion, but still not where I want my photos to be.. but I'm getting there! I definitely need some better lighting and maybe a better camera / to learn how to use mine better. I would say this lighting is a bit better though and so is my editing.

Top - Detox

Shorts - Urban Outfitters

Shoes - Urban Planet

Lipstick - Top Shop

Sunnies - Market

These are pretty much my first pair of urban renewal shorts and I am completely in love with them, even though all of my friends have told me I should have just thrifted and made them myself. That will be an upcoming project, if it ever gets warm again :(. I love the marbled effect and all the super shredded-ness going on. It gives off such an effortless chick rock look. It took about an hour to find the perfect pair of shorts though, since they are all literally cut up jeans with different fits and different quality denim. I'm glad I stayed and searched!

I paired the shorts with my super old "rocker" print tank from detox and my favourite dupe shoes, my 20 dollar spiked faux suede Lita's.  

I almost cant wait till fall so I can wear these shorts with some cute tights and thigh high socks! <3

Have you ever tried the renewal shorts from Urban Outfitters? 

[Review] Top Shop Lipstick = Charmed

Today I thought I'd do a review on something Iv had for a little while, but recently started loving and wearing almost daily. This is in fact my first ever Top Shop lipstick in the colour Charmed.

 

I have loved Top Shop products for a few years, but never had the chance to try them out since I was only able to order online. With customs, converting prices and me not having a credit card, all I could do was stare at all of the British beauty bloggers raving about the creamy formula and gorgeous colours that the Top Shop beauty line had. 

The main blogger that turned me onto the brand was Becca from Voussontbeauetbelle.co.uk so when we finally got a Top Shop here in Toronto, I headed straight for the makeup section! Since it was a little while ago, I don't remember exactly how much I paid, but it couldn't have been more then 12 dollars. The colour Charmed jumped out at me right away since I had just received my set of Lioele lip pencils and the orange was my favourite. I find the orange colour stands out enough while still complimenting my skin tone and over all brightens up my complexion. They do have a wide range of colours in stock on the website as well so there is definitely something for everyone.

It is a light pastel tangerine colour that can look almost clownish depending on how much you layer it up. If you put on two sweeps of it, it comes out a gorgeous orangey shade which isnt too over powering.

The formula goes on smooth, and depending on how pigmented you want your lips, you can sweep it over once for a sheer matte look or layer it up for a full bright colour. I love the creamy texture and how gradually it fades, becoming more subtle instead of coming right off.

Here are some pictures of me wearing it!
