RAWR! Halloween 2012

So, halloween has come and gone. Due to hurricane Sandy, it was a miserable night weather wise, but nonetheless, it was such a superb night for my last year in high school. I thought, hey, it's my last year of being considered a child because of my age, so I was like, what the heck, I'm going trick-or-treating! AHA I know, nearly every house I went to asked me if I was too old for trick-or-treating. Naw! In the future, I can see myself as one of those parents dressing up with my kids and trick-or-treating with them! Don't want to embarrass them or anything, but I will always be a child at heart.

Anyways, being me, I really didn't want to dress in those clique halloween costumes you buy from a store. So just like every year, I improvised. Last year I was Katniss Everdeen (yeah, I'm a HUGE Hunger Games fan), so this year I wanted to wear something warm because of the wet weather, but I didn't want to wear my winter jacket. Using articles of clothing from my wardrobe, I decided to go as a wolf. Lucky for me, I own a Warrior Wolf SpiritHood, which made my costume so much more believable and super warm! I wore black leggings, a white loose top, a black wool blazer with gold hardware, my favourite wool scarf, black Hunter wellies and of course my SpiritHood. But, to finish off my outfit, I used a REAL fox tail I bought in Germany in March for about $15! Yeah, I'm sorry if that offends you, but just keep in mind that I did not kill the creature. I love fur, but I only buy ones that are cruelty free. Plus, keeping the tail is re-using parts that aren't being used for other purposes. I didn't really look like a true wolf, but I did sort of remind myself of Mr. Fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl. I guess because I looked like a wolf with human clothing on!

I went trick-or-treating with 2 of my good friends, and then went for a little walk around my neighbourhood with some more friends while eating all the candy I accumulated. It doesn't sound that exciting, but I had a great time.

The excitement of dressing up and them begging for candy is just a concept that never cease to amuse me :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!
God bless and keep safe :P

Concert Outfit

Finally, so, this is my outfit I wore to the City and Colour Concert last Wednesday. It's quite plain, but I know I was going to be jumping around quite a bit so I kept the outfit on the comfy level.

The outfit consisted of a soft-pink sleeveless top I bought from H&M for about $20 two years ago, black jeggings from AMERICAN EAGLE for about $50 (a bit pricey, but very well made), and a electric blue cardigan from ZARA I bought a few weeks ago for $30. All-in-all, it was a very practical outfit to wear for a concert, comfort and style wise.

For jewelry, I wore golden cross earrings from FOREVER 21 for only a few dollars and my everyday birdy necklace from H&M for about $7. For shoes, I just wore my grey low-top converse. Very minimal and yes, quite a boring outfit, but i was very comfy.

I kept my hair down, mostly because I just got it cut the night before and wanted to show it off ;). It was very soft and flowy, and I was feeling it all night (hehe). Well, I also kept my makeup minimal, like I do everyday. Like I said before, it was such a great concert! 

CITY AND COLOUR! Hey, it's Dallas Green!

Work Time OOTD!

For my outfit of the day, i decided to dress very simple and clean cut. Because I was going off to work, I wanted something dressy, yet something that looked simple. 

I went with my white sleeveless peplum top I bought from TOPSHOP for €49 in Ireland which is about $64 Canadian. It is quite expensive, but it's such a well made product. It has a white lace detailed collar with shiny black, white and clear rhinestones. The neckline is quite high, which makes it a very classic piece. I just love it! The bodice is very fitted, and honestly, makes my boobs look bigger than they actually are (aha, oops too much info!).

White sleeveless peplum top from Topshop

Anyways, for pants, I'm wearing black dress pant leggings from the brand ATTITUDE by Jay Manuel I bought from Sears for $49.99 last winter. The pants have fake front and back pocket stitching, which makes them look less like leggings and more like pants. They are also quite thick, especially for this time of year in Canada, but the place I work is so cold inside that I do have to wrap up a bit.

For my nail colour, I'm still wearing the same orange colour from the last OOTD called Boozy Bruch (102) by L'OREAL. And for jewelry, I decided to go very, very, very minimal and only wear my everyday silver celtic ring I bought from one of my Irish dancing competitions last year. I didn't want to wear any other jewelry because it would over do the look due to the fact that the peplum top was already such a statement piece.

My make up was done like I do it everyday, very subtle. 

I left my hair hang lose and dry naturally straight, parting it in the middle, as usual. 

Now, I feel I'm decent enough to go out in public. Ready for another day at the work place! 

TTFN! Ta Ta For Now!

First OOTD!

I didn't know what to post to start off new fashion blog, so I decided to show what I'm wearing today. At least I can start showing off my style. :)

This is my outfit of the day. I decided to go very simple look because I've been cleaning the house and doing laundry all day. It's still fairly hot in Canada, considering that it's still summer, so I didn't want to wrap up too much.

My shirt is a button down long sleeve that was use to be my grandfathers pajama top. And yes, I did say PAJAMA top. It's an off white colour and the pattern consists of palm trees and elephants. It's quite a light and flowy, which is great to dress up the harsher material of my denim shorts and plain white spaghetti strap! 

These denim shorts are from the GAP. Yes, they are high waisted, so they are a classic fashion staple piece that every girls should have in their wardrobe. They are a hand-me-down from my mum from years ago, so I'm not sure of the pricing or if the GAP has these anymore. Sorry.

As for my belt, is a camel coloured leather belt that is also a hand-me-down from my mum. Sorry. Again. But I do know she got it in Turkey about 20 years ago for only a few dollars! Great deal, huh?!

Anyways, for jewelry, I'm wearing a gold tone birdy necklace from H&M I bought a few months ago for just under $7, as well as a silver SWISS ARMY watch I recieved last Christmas. I know, you shouldn't mix your golds and silvers, but hey, rules are ment to be broken :)

My hair is up in a high pony tail, while my shorter pieces of hair around my face and the crown of my head hang loose just because they want to be difficult. hehe

My nails are painted an orange colour, by L'OREAL called Boozy Brunch (#102) that I bought from Walmart for only a few dollars. I decided to be fancy and put a top coat that contain little flakes on top of the orange; by CHINA GLAZE called Luxe and Lush from the Hunger Games collection (yes, I'm huge a Hunger Games fan).

Hopefully my first outfit of the day wasn't too horrible, but it's a start. Thankyou if you read, and I'm glad if you liked :)
