Summer Stripes

Pink and Sparkly | #THEPINKLIFE

Here is the awaited "Pink Life" #OOTD

Chewing Gum

I am always on the hunt for cute walls in Toronto, and if they're pink, that's definitely a bonus! This one at Early Bird Espresso was fun to pose in front of. I am wearing this adorable "chewing gum" t-shirt dress from Zara with my (dirty) white converse sneakers. I added the little space buns in my hair with extra glittery makeup to complete the look. 

Watch the look book video below as I attempted to add in props such as my pink lollipop and a piece of gum that just wouldn't let me blow a bubble!

WHAT I WORE:

Dress // Zara

Shoes // Converse

Glitter // NYX Cosmetics 

Watch // Michael Kors

Sunnies // Betsey Johnson

Lipstick Shade // Petal Pink by Paladio

A Look Inside my Makeup Drawer

Today on the blog I am sharing a look at my makeup table and how I like to organize my desk/drawer! I will be listing all of my favourite brands and products, how I organize the space, and also some decorating tips for this favourite little spot of mine in my cozy Toronto apartment. 

Ever since I moved to the city into my own apartment, this little makeup table space has been my absolute favourite spot to decorate and also spend time at. I sit here every morning to do my makeup and hair before school!

Inside these drawers you will find brands like...

Too Faced

Benefit

Colour Pop

Urban Decay

NYX Cosmetics

L'Oreal

Maybeline

Stila

Cover Girl

Clinique 

Juicy Couture

Chloe

My favourite recurring brand would have to be Too Faced!

My makeup desk chair is actually hand painted! It was part of an art project in high school. 

Decorating tips for my makeup desk...

- Keep it clean, yet functional

- Use two or three focal decorating pieces (i.e. pink peonies in glass dish, gold pineapple)

- Have all "everyday" makeup tools and brushes easily accessible  (i.e. glass cylinder dish that holds all main makeup brushes)

- Keep everyday products at the front of the drawer for easy access

- Use organizers such as an acrylic lipstick holder or Q-tip dispensor

- Put cute makeup bags out on display (i.e. my white Dior cosmetics pouch) 

How I organize my makeup drawer...

I like to organize things by category. For example, all of my boxes of makeup / palettes are over on the left side. This includes my contour palette, eye shadow palettes, and eye brow kit. I then like to have the same brand of lip products of perfumes grouped together as well. Products that I don't use as often are put towards the back (not photographed), and are brought out when I feel like switching things up in my makeup routine!

I hope that you enjoyed reading today - thanks for stopping by!

TORONTO FASHION WEEK {March 2016}

Just over a week ago, was Toronto Fashion Week. I went down to David Pecaut Square with Blair of Couture in Chains to check out all the street style - and take some photos of our own. 

For this outfit, I kept it simple in black and white with this bell-sleeved crop-top and a short black circle skirt. I also added some knee-high socks and black ankle booties. The weather was quite miserable this day, but we still managed to get some good shots. We even had a chance to stop into the Holt Renfrew truck and tried to unlock a prize! See some photo booth photos from that below.

WHAT I WORE:

Top // Forever 21

Skirt // Sirens

Shoes // H+M

Sunglasses // Calico

Watch // Michael Kors

Lipstick Shade // Melted Sugar by Too Faced
