Time Spent...

A few weekends ago I was inspired by LinenLace&Love, who I found mentioned on DamselinDior...
I raced to Michael's and purchased...

Supplies from Michael's 40%-50% off...

But Michael's wasn't enough so...back out I went
this time Daiso...

But since there was the 50% off coupon I couldn't help a second Michael's run...

And here's what I created...

Recollections off white note card
Martha Stewart Glitter Pens in Cinnabar and Florentine Gold(mentioned here)
Sakura Pens in Pink Gold Shadow and Metallic Gold

If you want something done, you've got to do it yourself! (mentioned here how I wanted cupcake note cards!)
Cupcake note card made by me...

Aritzia Private Sale...

I braved the mall this past weekend for the private sale and left with this...
Perfect for work or special occasions...
Two ways to wear it...(will update with an in action post...)
Off white in XS, while it's a little large around the arm holes and sides, I prefer how the tie is around the natural waist...
XXS fit better but the tie was more like an empire waist...


Missed out on the free gift which was the towel like the previous year...
Private sale ends tomorrow...

Recent finds...

I worked major overtime in the last two weeks and decided to treat myself for the hard work...enter online shopping and 2 stops by ZARA!

Mulberry finds...
on sale now check it out!
Individually packed!
Bayswater Belt Bag(sold out, similar here)
Free notecard and envelope...
Other Mulberry things I'm loving...

Zara finds...
These stretch ALOT, baggy around the knee area...could be my chicken legs too...
These fit like pants on me, and I had to shrink them for the perfect fit...
I purchased the off white colour(couldn't find a link), but love the mint!
* patiently waiting for sale...

Forever 21 finds...

This one was SUPER heavy, and the goldtone was already fading in some areas...My Verdict: Pass. My neck was lifting weights...
My Verdict: Praiseworthy. My favorite out of the finds from F21. Lightweight, affordable and doesn't look cheap.
 Purchased in both colours...
My Verdict: Pass. Pros: Affordable, lightweight. Cons: Cheap, thin/flimsy links. Goldtone fading.
Theory tank worn in necklace photos...

Eve Pearl...Mascara


My Verdict: Pass. I picked this up on my IMATS spree last year and finally had a chance to test it out. Perhaps I waited to long to, as this formula does nothing. Claims to lengthen and volumize, but it doesn't even coat the full lash. I purchased one of each but they ended up giving me 2 of the same mascaras. I've used this for the last week, and only my roots have managed to get some product on it. I'll be throwing this out asap.

* On another note Lancome Giveaway is now closed. Winner to be announced July 19, 2012.
