First Peplum


Cardigan: Walmart (old),  Top: F21,  Jeans: Hollister,  Shoes: F21
Yep! My very first Peplum top. I have to say these tops are genius. Not only are the cute and stylish, but they cover a not so flattering tummy. I have an intolerance to gluten and while I can still eat it, my tummy puffs out like I'm 7 months pregnant. So this top will be perfect when I can't resist that wheaty gluten =)

Fave Friday! Skin Care

Yay for skin care! Not actually for me. It's a pain in the butt. You see, I have very sensitive skin so trying to find a product that doesn't make me break out is hard. Every skin type is different, but these products I've found to work best for my sensitive skin. I am obviously a Kiehl's lover haha


1. Kiiehl's Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser- I've used this cleanser for about 10 years. Jeepers, that's a long time. But it's that good. I think I switched to another brand once in 10 years and went back to this one. I just love it.
2. Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner - I JUST started using a toner! I basically use this to wipe off any excess make-up. Other than that, I'm not too sure what it does!
3. Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque - I LOVE doing face masques and try to do one once a week. I'm surprised Kiehl's only has one type of masque considering they have a bajillion different face products. This masque is great though so I guess they don't need another. My face feels very soft and refreshed after using it.
4. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye - .I've been using this eye cream at night for about a year now. Honestly half the time I forget to us it. I do like it, but haven't noticed a significant difference, but that's probably because I don't use it consistently. I'm going to start though. I'm crazy paranoid about under eye bags and dark circles.
5. Kiehl's Eye Alert - I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff. I can't say enough good things about it.  I use this in the morning after washing my face. For somebody who doesn't get a lot of sleep and has to wake up at 5 in the morning this stuff is magic.It's pricey,, but lasts a long time and it's so worth it. 
6. Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation - Again, since I have sensitive skin, it's hard for me to find a moisturizer that doesn't cause me to break out. I've used this for several years.It's very light and it doesn't feel like I'm wearing another layer of face.

The mens section



Cardigan: F21 (on sale for $4.99!),  Top: H&M (mens),  Skirt: F21,  Booties: Winners

You know, I never really thought to go into the mens section to look for things. On my way out of H&M the other day I had to pass through the mens section and I saw these basic tshirts for $6.95! They had similar ones in the woman's section for a tad more!
I thought to myself after scanning the tops of the racks, next time I'm here I'm going to look in the mens section first. I love anything over sized.
Have any of you tried shopping in the mens section?

Fave Friday! Hair Products

Today I'd like to share with you about my favourite hair care products that I am currently using.  I've tried a lot of different products and I think I have finally found a set that works best for me. I have think, kind of wavy hair.
(sorry for the awkward bathroom photos haha)

Macadamia Natural Oil (Deep Repair Masque)
I decided to try this product when I heard good reviews about. I use this product 1 to 2 times a week without shampooing first. I comb it through and leave it in for about 5 to 7 minutes. I love it and it smells fantastic. I've noticed my hair isn't AS dry as before.

This product is also great. I find my hair stays fresher longer and it smells great. I only shampoo and condition my hair about 2 times a week.

Love this product. I'm not sure why I took so long to buy it. I use about 3 pumps on damp hair.

Because I curl my hair a lot I'm always trying new hairspray. However, I always revert back to this one. It holds the best and it's not sticky. I don't like the smell though. Kind of reminds me of a really old lady. 

There you have it! 
Happy weekend!

Those things called bangs



Blazer: H&M, Dress: Romy, Booties: Aldo, Necklace: Aldo
Ugh. All I have to say is getting bangs, a fringe or whatever you call it. was the biggest hair mistake I've done in a while. I cringed a little bit every time I posted my photos on my blog since getting bangs. Today, I parted my hair and bangs to the side hoping it would finally look ok. Thank the hair fairy's they did!
Girls, if you are ever contemplating getting bangs, really think about it for a while. They are a pain to grow out and more of a pain to try and style ever-single-day. 
Kudos to you all who do it!
