I recently discovered a website called Everbuying (similar to eBay, without the bidding) as I was looking to purchase a battery-pack style charger for my iPhone.
Well whaddayouknow, they sell clothes too!
Of course they are from China, and teeny tiny which is why I'm currently wishing I was a petite Asian so I could fit into the dress above (wah wah; plus it's more like a shirt on me #tallgirlproblems). Sadly, all three items that I ordered aren't exactly the best fit despite purchasing size large for everything.
That said, I thought I would share with you what I picked up because the pieces are really fashion-y and cool, for cheap cheap cheap. And THIS is the charger for my iPhone that I picked up a couple months ago aswell.
* I love this jacket and while the shoulder fit is a little wonky, the body is roomy so I'm going to make it work. Such a chic, unique looking piece, especially for the price.
(button-less with buckles on sleeves)
* This jacket is quite snug but there are two darts in the back that I'm going to let out to give me more room to wrap it arond me. My mannequin's waist is smaller than mine but I'm hoping with letting the darts out, it will then look like this on me.
This is not a sponsored post, I simply went shopping & am sharing.

Although it's still almost two years away from my new condo being ready, I thought I would post any inspiration I have for what will be a blank slate. I like looking at others' inspiration and also, it will be a great resource for me to go back when I do move and start the decorating process.
Since I will have an entire room dedicated to my closet (eep!), I have many, many ideas swirling in my head. I'm not sure if I want a dark theme (my initial thought) with dark shelves and drawers, or a white coloured theme (some of the photos with that are so pretty). Additionally, wouldn't it be so cool to be able to hang your lingerie (instead of stuffing it in a drawer and hat boxes like I do now)? I already have a manequin which I love to dress up and I just ordered two acrylic bracelet t-stands to further organize my accessories.
Here are some photos I've found online that I'm drawn to.
Photo cred:
1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13

I was listening to the radio the other morning, and they were talking about full service gas stations and how you should tip them. I'm often of the mind-set, 'When in doubt, tip' but it had never crossed my mind to tip at the gas station (which I'm kind of embarassed to admit). Admitidly you are paying more for full service, and I guess that was my rationale.
When it comes to tipping, other than restaurant servers, who do you tip?

Now I'm no stranger to a sparkly mini skirt, but this one I really love for two things, (1) it's tribal pattern (I actually saw a girl in Vegas when I was at the I Heart Radio concert wearing something similar but of course it was from a store in another state and not in Canada), and (2) the colour scheme. I love the idea of taupe, purple, lime & black together. What a great combination!
While reading one of my favourite blogs the other day, I came across a post with some really thoughtful words and quotes that completely inspired this post.
I think we can read blogs and can live vicariously through someone else or simply envy or wish our life was as glamours, busy, expensive, fulfilling, creative... the list goes on and on and on. And while it's a terrible thing, to be envy, and to feel envious, it happens.
I have gotten some pretty nice comments from you in the past, and comments even about how great my life looks and how my weekends, 'Seem so awesome;' which is really sweet, and I appreciate that. That said, my life isn't all roses, and I wouldn't want anyone to think I don't go through hard times or have hard times. I certainly do, but I don't always talk about them on here (imagine me posting a vlog of me sobbing over my problems?!).
I know there are so many people going through difficult things right now, and I have been there, I've been so low I didn't know how or where I would find the strength to come back out, or up. Not everything is what it seems, when it's happening. I know what it is like to feel sad for days, weeks.. months on end and I wanted to remind you that you are not alone. Whatever you're going through, do not forget that.
We are all human, and experience highs and lows. Sometimes I cry for no reason. Sometimes I just feel down. Sometimes I can't figure out why I'm feeling sad, and then sometimes the moment passes. I promise this won't last forever though, and know that I'm thinking about you and sending you love.
I wanted to share some of my favourite quotes that helped me through my difficult time in the past. Sometimes I had nothing more than these quotes, and on days where I could barely get out of bed, they managed to breathe some life into me, and I hope they can for you too.
* When I found these quotes, every time one 'spoke' to me, I typed it out and printed it. I kept them all paper-clipped together for the days I needed a boost. It really helped, and over time I added to my little stack and have shared a few with friends when they needed a boost too. I hope if you're having a bad day, week or month (or months) this has given you even the tiniest boost.
