OOTN & FOTN

It was so nice to catch up with friends on Friday night (thanks Rob!)  ;) 

We went to a club called Bar244. 

I really liked the music - lots of dance music! All drinks are cheap at $3-$4. I think the only turn off for me was the young crowd - it felt like a throwback to high school ten years ago. Okay, that would be cool only if I was ten years younger LOL 

Ah well, still had a fab time with friends and that's what counts :)

I haven't done an OOTN and FOTN post in a while so here is one for you (now you know why I was late ten minutes Rob haha)

I coloured my own hair earlier this week with L'oreal Feria #45 Deep Bronzed Brown.

If I stay within 1-2 shades of my natural hair colour, L'oreal Feria hair colour has never let me down. And even though my hair is a long length, I only need one Feria box dye

The eye shadow I have on is mainly MAC Nehru which I did a post on a few days ago here

The lashes I have on are my favourite pair! It's my trusty Ardell 107s and I've done a post on them here 

I layered two necklaces: one is Hello Kitty and the other is from Charlotte Russe 

I wore the Guess Kayla dress, which I'm not surprised to see they are sold out of

My purse is Steve Madden (I loveee the studs on this bag)

My heels are the Patent Uber Covered Platform Pump in Nude by Charlotte Russe (patent + nude + high heel = love at first sight for me! I have a shoe haul post coming up by the way)

These are the side slits in the Guess Kayla Dress. 

And these are all the accessories I had on last night :)

Not mentioned already is the Charlotte Russe bracelet to the far left.

The Bebe cuff bracelet (under the high heels) 

Both rings are from Forever21

My watch is from Guess

Do you like seeing these type of posts? 

If so, I will try to do them more often....

And how is your weekend coming along? :)

Accessories, Dresses, Makeup

Some of the things I got in the past month from...well, you know who ;)

Forever21 Floral Print Dress in "Blue Pink"
Shoes: Charlotte Russe Peep Toe Bootie with Side Zipper 

The dress above reminds me of Tommy Bahamas because of the print and bright colours
And the peep toe booties above are from Charlotte Russe - I la-la-love them ;)

Black dress with shoulder beads from Forever21 

I love the taupe colour of this Forever21 Perforated Knit Dress. It is a bit long (just above the knees), but it's nice for a more formal dinner

A couple of bandage dresses from a store on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto called Axiom

Frederick's of Hollywood "Intoxicating Ingenue Dress" 

It was my first time visiting a Frederick's of Hollywood store when I was in Buffalo NY last month.

Dale and I went to the Walden Galleria location, which was a slight disappointment. I was expecting the store to be bigger, or at least have a better selection compared to their vast online selection. 

But we did manage to find a couple of things including this nice black one shoulder ruffle dress ;) 

As for the patent peep toe slingbacks above, I'm surprised they're not sold out online at Charlotte Russe yet. They can match almost any outfit and they're super comfortable yet sexy. I have them in every colour now :) yay!

If you read my blog, you'll know there's a running joke between Dale & I with holes in my socks

There's some affordable jewelry that I really like at Forever21

This is their lavish panel bracelet in light green/gold

Dale chose these two earrings out for me himself from Aldo - they're really nice :) 

The left pair is "gibler" in silver and the right is "gundlach" in white nubuck

I have swatches of all seven Icing nail polishes, which was picked up at Claire's. I will have it up in my next post shortly ;) 

The bottom pink ring is the faceted faux stone ring from Forever21, the middle ring is the vintaged filigree ring from Forever21 and the top cream coloured ring is the faceted bead ring in olive/gold from Forever21.

I love rhinestones so the jointed leaf earrings from Forever21 are a favourite! 

Left to right: China Glaze in "Innocence", Nina Ultra Pro in "Punki Pink", Orly in "Passion Fruit"

I picked out the far left polish, he picked out the other two bright colours (his favourites). I will try to get some swatches up in my next post

I agree with all the highly rated reviews of Rimmel Royal Gloss - the texture is smooth & not sticky 

I rarely get a chance to visit Wal-mart, but on my last visit I picked up a couple of Hard Candy Painted Lady lipsticks, a Hard Candy Plexi Gloss and their Lash Tinsel Glitter Mascara 

I have swatches of both lipsticks which I will also try to get up on my next post shortly

I did not pick out these Estee Lauder and Clinique makeup items myself - but for Estee Lauder, I love the luxe gold packaging and you can feel the quality from the amazing texture of their lip products

This is my second Hot Tools curling iron (the 1.5") - he got this for me when we were in Buffalo NY

I much prefer Hot Tools over Conair curling irons - for quality and the way it handles.

The price of Conair curling irons in Canada is pretty much the same as Hot Tools if you're getting it in the USA or through ebay ($30-$40)

The Tokidoki Sodashop perfetta cosmetic case from Sephora. The print is super cute! And I love how there is an inner slide slot inside the makeup bag. 

Ahhh you know me with Hello Kitty! :P

We were in Sephora and I loved both the HK compact mirrors - by why oh why was the rhinestone covered one not a compact (it's a one-sided mirror)? So I chose this Hello Kitty compact instead which is super super cute - love the outer mirror finish and there's a magnifying mirror as well as a regular one inside

I will have some swatches up in my next post

Doing anything exciting this weekend? ;)

Accessories from my trip to Pennsylvania

I'm always thrown off guard a week after a long weekend! I feel like today is either Wednesday or Friday, but not Thursday LOL. Do you get like that too? I'll separate my purchases from my trip this past weekend into different categories & posts. These are some of the accessories I bought in Pennsylvania At Macy's I picked up a couple of rings This one is by Fossil This cute frog one is by

Karen likes bling

My taste in jewelry & accessories is straight forward. I like things with lots of shiny cubic zirconias. Of course diamonds would be nicer but um, I can't afford them at this rate!I don't usually wander into China Town but I went there a couple of months ago when my friend Carl from Washington DC was in town. I don't recall the name of the store, but I found some neat jewelry and accessories that

A bit of Hello Kitty & a F21 dress

When I was in Grove City, Pennsylvania early April I went into a store called Fuzziwig's Candy Factory. A small selection of Hello Kitty items were at the store window and I got a few things :) I got a clear water bottle. I like how the cap is attached to the bottle so I don't have to worry about dropping the cap when I uncap the bottle. And I got three key caps. You attach them onto the top

Guess & The Body Shop - gifts from Dale

My friend Dale is in Toronto this week and I got together with him for lunch yesterday at Baton Rouge.He's a really kind person & likes to take me shopping once in a while. He wanted to take me to Forever21 but I didn't think there was anything there that I wanted so I asked if I could go to Guess because there was this watch I've been eyeing the past month. And I'm so happy he bought it for me :

A couple of gifts + more partying at Branthouse ;)

December is quite the busy month isn't it? How's is your December coming along? Last week, I turned a quarter of a century old and got a few gifts from family and friends. I went out on Saturday to my favourite nightclub, Branthouse and wore a couple of the new gifts I got.My girlfriend Jasmin bought me this really really pretty bracelet for my birthday. I absolutely love it :)And she also bought

FOTD & A few purchases....

Today I went to go get my hair trimmed because my younger sister commented on how my long hair was pulling down my face...yes, that's how she put it. I'm sort of biased towards long hair on myself and she's biased towards shorter hair on herself so I kind of saw this comment coming. Anyhow, I was due for a trim so although I intended to only have 1" max taken off, 2-3" really came off. Don't you

FOTD, desert & a new handbag

I hope your week is off to a great start!Today I ventured with green eye shadow. I always wished I could be a bit more versatile with my eye shadow colours but it seems that only a few shades compliment my eye/skin/hair colour best....and I don't think green is one of those shades. But I'm not going out anywhere important today or meeting anyone extra special so what the heck! Anyways, I

What I bought this past weekend....

Soooo, my younger sister is in town for a couple of weeks and of course we went shopping together. I picked up a few things from Forever 21, H & M, Urban Behaviour and some perfume as well :)First, this dress is from Forever 21. It's a faux leather fitted dress - I thought it would be great for clubbing!I also got a bracelet from Forever 21. It's a silver metal bracelet and it seems that chains

Michael Kors Handbag

On Monday my younger sister, my parents and I went to Buffalo and I picked up this lovely small handbag from Micheal Kors: A close up of the label but my camera sucks!What it looks like opened:This is my second MK bag and although I favour larger handbags, I do need a couple of small ones for an evening out or for clubbing even. I know this is more of a spring and summer bag but I'll probably
