Stop. Just stop it. How amazing are these Chloe wedges? Ahh, I'm completely lusting after them. Wait, what's that you say? They're still available in my size? Shut up. No. Seriously shut up, because I can't afford you.
"can't afford" = $457

Do you ever wear the belt that came with something? I never do. Okay, it's super rare. This is no exception. I was itching to pair this navy and white dress with a yellow belt but didn't have one. I looked through all my belts and the closest thing was a light lime green belt. That is until I remembered I had this belt, which I don't think I've ever worn, that came with this dress. Perfect! Done & done.
I am seriously itching for warmer weather so I can get back to taking photos outside, this is seriously a tease.
Finally, this dress was purchased on a recently shopping trip with my girl friend. It's from Zellers. Yes, Zellers. I paid $35 for it, and it's lined. Pretty, 'eh? And no, that's not my real hair.
I wear this blazer a lot but I never roll up the sleeves to reveal the you're-suppose-to-reveal pattern (stripes). I just feel like everyone and their mother rolls up their blazer sleeves, that's 'the look' and I don't necessarily want to be 'the look', I want to make my own look. I made an exception this time because I loved the idea of the two patterns playing with each other (the dress and the stripes).
After seeing Maegan's DIY for adding fur to your shoes (and boots), I immediately jumped in my car (okay, I showered first) and headed out on a mission to get some faux fur from Fabricland. Maegan used faux fur trim for hers, but unfortunately the only trim at my store was white and dark purple (which I contemplated, but passed up). I really wanted a tan coloured fur, or as a second resort black or grey. I left the fabric store feeling defeated but then remembered Walmart sold faux fur rugs. I took a chance and amongst the hot pink, lime green, black, white and dark grey there was (woohoo!) this tan colour. $20 for the rug makes it cheaper than buying faux fur by the meter at the fabric store ($38/m) too - score. Excited, I ran home and started cutting apart the rug and voila. Head to Meagan's blog to check out the full DIY.

Yesterday while at Walmart I couldn't resist these two Revlon nail polishes. Now it should be known that I'm a bit of an OPI snob. Since starting to purchase the brand over two years ago, I've rarely bought anything else (except the odd Wet'N'Wild and Rimmel colours here and there). Now that's not to say I'm constantly buying nail polishes. Au contraire. At $10 a pop, I have to be selective of which colours I purchase because it's like a treat when I purchase one. All that to say, I bought these ones for $4 (we'll see how long they last).
When I buy nail polish, I always look at the brush. I like fat brushes (aka, less swipes per nail) and was immediately turned off by Revlon's thin brushes. However, I said to myself I shouldn't discriminate (haha) and decided to purchase. With freshly painted nails, I'd say the brushes aren't terrible, the formula goes on very smoothly and offers great coverage. I also found it dried a bit quicker than OPI. I did two coats, plus a base and top coat (Rimmel 60 second top coat). I love the pewter colour, and did my left ring finger in a more silvery colour. Know what I love even more? The price.
PS - Hand shots are soo awkward. Seriously. I'm like, 'Are those my hands? Ick.' Also, I'm definitely a nail biter but have been on-and-off letting my nails grow for the last year (I even had long nails at my wedding - and they were my own!). However, I've been stressed lately and in turn, ruined my nails. Bah humbug.
Just a few random snaps I've saved while perusing the 'net.
