New Year New Image + Fashion Resolutions

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had an amazing christmas break. I took long naps and stuffed my face with really awesome homemade food! In Canada we have a holiday called boxing day which is the equivalent of America’s Black Friday. I bought a faux leather brown skirt from Club Monaco like the one in the bottom picture for $60.00 from an original price of $135.00. STEAL! ! !

I also saw the denim/army vest in the below picture on sale but they only had it in medium. Bohoo… It’s so nice.

I used to shop at H&M more during my college/university years but now going into full time – I can’t seem to wear the clothes from there anymore. The quality of the fabric and sewing of H&M’s clothes are poor. The fit sometimes is horrible and doesn’t last long. In the long run – even though its cheap now – you spend money buying things to replace because they fall apart so quickly. This can also be applied to clothes from Forever 21.

New Year Fashion Resolutions:
  • Do not buy black clothing unless its a basic (tights/ t-shirt/ tank top)
  • Don’t shop from “fast” clothing stores. (H&M, Forever 21…etc)
  • Shop more vintage and join in reusing old clothes into new clothes instead of buying new clothes
  • Donate clothes that I don’t wear anymore
  • Create a clothes swap

I changed the header for the website. I hope you guys like it :)

WHAT ARE YOUR FASHION RESOLUTIONS?

What designer Rachel Roy wears to work in a week

I love the things that she wears to work. BTW. One of the glasses she wears is the same ones i have – its a ombre frame by 3.1 Philip Lim. Also she wears a lot of lavender and heavy jewelry. She looks gorgeous everyday – I don’t know how she manages it.

Which outfit stood out to you the most?

For me – The shirt she wore that had a studded collar. I’m not sure if it was studded or not but it had some bling bling on it. I thought it looked corporate yet at the same time you could tell she was in the creative industry. 

 

 

Update: My Office Secret Santa

So today was the office party! It was actually pretty fun. Lots of eating and NOT doing work. haha I still have no idea who my secret santa is but he/she gave me this:

It’s actually above the budget which was $15. This was probably close to 17 bucks plus tax CDA. This person must know i have extremely dry hands. I am constantly putting on lotion. I got a really deep paper cut today – thats how dry my skin is. Its like cardboard.

The present I gave to my secret santa was a scarf from Le Chateau. My desk buddy – stole my idea too and gave the EXACT same present. GR….

 Sorry the image is so small… It was a brighter turquoise.

So I’m going to list gifts that other people bought:

  • Wine
  • Startbucks gift card
  • LCBO gift card
  • Mugs
  • Rice Cooker (wtf)
  • The Bro Code (this was so funny)
  • jewelry
  • pens
  • chocolate
  • More Wine

I think 50% of the gifts were either wine or giftcards… LOL. Lazy people.

I’m gonna posting less and less as the holidays arrive. My vacation starts on Wednesday! So exciteddddddddd
