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? :)

Guess, Bebe and Michael Kors

I just wanted to share with you a few things I got in the past month that I really love. 

These are all gifts from Dale ;)  I definitely count myself lucky.

The bracelet is really pretty! I tend to edge towards big statement jewelry and Dale chose this bracelet out for me - it's the Guess Rhinestone Heart Mesh Bracelet 

I would say the only downside to the bracelet is the small lobster clasp. It seriously takes me too long to get this clasp on if I have fake nails on LOL 

Even Dale with short nails had to take a couple of minutes to put it on for me

Here is what the wristlet wallet looks inside:

Dale chose this Guess wristlet wallet for me and I love it! I like how it zips all around, there's many card slots, another zippered slot inside as well as a coin zippered slot on the backside. Plus the wristlet part is detachable. 

Just a typical bandage skirt. Dale got this for me at a Guess outlet store - we both loved the turquoise colour

The next three items I personally chose out at Guess. I bought them using the gift certificate that Dale gave to me :) Thanksss so much Dale!

This is the Guess Misha Jacket. 

I really like how soft the faux leather is. It's a very flattering colour and cut. 

I also really like how there's two front pockets on each side - one that's zippered and one that's buttoned.

It looks great with a pair of jeans :)

This is the Guess Kayla Dress and omigosh I snatched this dress off the rack as soon as I spotted it LOL It was the last one in the store too!

I love the side slits on this dress - it's my 1st dress with side slits. It's sexy but not over the top

These are the Guess Daredevil Jeans 

I actually went into Guess looking for destroyed blue denim but the only destroyed denim they had were these. They don't look like much in the picture and when the sales associate handed these jeans to me saying they were super comfy, I thought, "mehhhh." But I tried them on and you know what? These are sooo comfortable! They're not jean material -it's twill. I wish they were skinny and not bootcut, but that is the only negative thing I have to say about these (which is a personal preference). If you like bootcut and don't mind it destroyed, I highly recommend this pair. 

This is probably the prettiest coat in my closet now :) 

Dale got this Bebe lace coat for me when we went to Buffalo together last month. I absolutely love it as I'm a sucker for lace.

It is a bit dressy and I wish I could wear it in the daytime, but I only wear it in the evenings (not to nightclubs though) 

The back of the coat is really nice too with the ribbon detailing

I should mention that there are no pockets on this coat though

And the bag I'm wearing two pictures above is this large black patent Michael Kors shoulder bag

OMG I loveee this shoulder bag! The black patent, the weaved handle, the size....

Dale actually really liked this bag too (I don't think he was too fond of the previous Michael Kors satchel he bought for me)

Michael Kors has some really stylish bags and I also love their style of watches

Let me know what you've been up to lately :) 

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? ;)

Birthday and Christmas Gifts from last month

I'm a tad bit late - I know :S But I thought I would do a post to share some of the gifts I got last month for both my Birthday and Christmas, as I loved reading other similar postsFirst up was my Birthday gift from EvgueniHe's a very practical man - one of the qualities I love about himEvgueni bought and assembled a new shelving unit for my locker :)My locker was a nightmare by the way - and

Lace tops, Casual OOTD & other clothes purchased from Pennsylvania

For the lovelies that wanted to see more face of the day (FOTD) posts and outfits posts.....this was me on Sunday to meet up with a friend at a local Irish pubKey to this look: MAC Corduroy eye shadow, Ardell 107 lashes & MAC Creme Cup lipstickLace tank from Charlotte Russe, white tank top underneath from Winners, cardigan from Forever21, handbag from Michael Kors, jeans from Guess, sandals by

Hanging out at Evgueni's studio

I took a 15-20 minute stroll to Evgueni's place yesterday evening. I really love the city lights at night. And for a big city, Toronto is so nice and quiet on a weekday evening in the Yorkville area (downtown Toronto's high end boutiques/condo living). Especially in windy/chilly weather like last night.Since there were very few people around last evening, I took a few pictures. (above): Bloor

Outfit of the evening...

Thank you SO much if you voted on my blog poll to let me know what you want to see more of on this blog. Since the accessories, outfit category got the most votes so far, here's mine of this evening... (above): watch from Guess, earrings from Winners, bracelet from Nadri (sold at The Bay), brown/bronze ring from Fossil and the green frog ring from Guess I decided to change up my eyeshadow colour

Danier Bombers

Dale bought me a couple of leather bombers from Danier a couple of months back. I love leather jackets especially for Spring & Fall. I know the weather is too hot and humid to think about a leather jacket, but if you live in a place that is similar to Toronto's weather, you'll know that Fall weather can fast approach!It's funny though...I didn't start wearing leather jackets until about 2-3 years

Guess, Aldo, Lacoste stuff

These are some of the things that Dale bought for me in the past month...The "Zedra Lace Tee" Dale knows I like lace. I like how the t-shirt is all lace and how the lace is tight knitThe "I Love Punk Tank"The back of the tank is all lace and I really like this tank top. It's probably the most flattering top in this post. The other Guess tops, well, they're not as forgiving (for me)- let me put it

Forever 21 Purchases

Dale gave me a $200 gift certificate to Forever21 when I was in Kansas City with him.Since the funds were in USD and I live in Canada, I used up the whole gift certificate at once.The first few dresses are pretty much the same cut & style. It's a fitted dress the way I like it so I got it in different patterns/colours :)Do you ever like a style of clothing, shoe or bag so much that you get it in

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

A couple of things from Guess

Dale bought me a few things from Guess over the past couple of weeks that he was in town.The first is this Whitney Safari Tank which I really like. It looks good paired with jeans or a jean skirtThis is the back of the tank:The next gift from Dale is the Kaui Floral Tube DressIt's a pretty casual summer dress. It even has side pockets that aren't obvious from a glanceThe second dress he bought me

Saturday - Astoria & Brant House

This was my Saturday.For lunch my parents, older sister and I went to Astoria Restaurant in Greek Town. We love the souvlaki there! When I dine out with my parents we usually have (1) Greek food (2) Chinese food or (3) Fish and Chips. With my friends I usually have (1) steak or (2) Japanese. Do you have a favourite ethnic food? This was a picture I took while we were driving home from the

Thursday: Sculpture Art Show

Yesterday Thursday my boyfriend and I went to The Al Green Sculpture Studio Art ShowMembers of the sculpture studio were show casing their pieces.My boyfriend Evgueni Kogan is a professional sculptor by trade. He use to be a member of this sculpture studio.This was my FOTD for the evening. Key eye shadows used:MAC Corduroy eye shadow (loving this lately!)MAC Texture eye shadowMAC Brule eye

This post includes a couple of more shoes...

My friend Dale was in the States this past weekend but came back to Toronto yesterday Tuesday. He's a HUGE fan of Michigan football and basketball. He's trying to convert me LOL. So he bought this t-shirt for me at the airport Whenever friends/family buy me something that I can wear, I wear it right away in front of them if I can - I think it really shows you're grateful for it and that you like

My friend Dale and I started off the day shopping on Wednesday.This was my FOTD + OOTD for shopping on WednesdayEye shadows: MAC Twinks, MAC Passionate + MAC Pearlmatte (LE from the Lillyland collection).

Another Gift from Dale

Awww, Dale went shopping last weekend and bought me a few things. I had managed to find a great set of tenants for my parent's investment condo two weeks ago and Dale wanted to get me something to congratulate me :) He went to Tommy Hilfiger and bought me a couple of things. Sadly both items aren't my style so they will definitely be going back to the store.Yeah, look at this!!!!! LOLThe look on

MAC Birds & Berries shadow, MAC Dirty Plum blush & a couple of dresses

MAC's Birds & Berries eye shadow from their Give Me Liberty of London Collection was one of the items I purchased.Here is my FOTD using it: On my lips I'm using Gosh Darling lipstick paired with MAC's Dazzleglass creme in Perfectly Unordinary. Later that night (same EOTD) with my friend Elias who I befriended at Brant House nightclub. I'm just being goofy ;) On my eyes the only shadow I'm

MAC Rich Life Pigment, MAC Pink Opal Pigment & Ardell 107s

I went out to Brant House night club last night and this was my FOTD / OOTD I want to lie and say the next picture was photo shopped because the lighting looks cool! LOL. But really, I got Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 about a month ago and only know how to crop pictures so far. This picture came out orang-y somehow when I turned the flash onDress from Forever21Shoes from AldosI used three eye
