clothes and shit

This week has been pretty hectic to sum it all up it was my grandpas 75th birthday, visited my twin Jessica Masil who I haven't seen in forever, went to Ribfest with my niece, went shopping and lastly Jaysons cousins Mercy's debut(basically big 18th celebration)
Anyways the debut was at a community centre which was at the old skatepark I use to go to back in high school it was really fun and I took some pictures in this cool perfectly hidden spot and I saw all these cute debut stuff like 18 roses and candles and fun performances.
It was super exciting because I just bought this dress a little while back from New Look

when they were having a sale, I got it for only $8 and never had a chance to wear it so the debut made it perfect since it's pretty summery and not super fancy but not too normal either also if you haven't noticed i've been totally obsessed with this flowy shawl thing and my oil slick necklaces (I honestly made so many of them and now can't part with a whole bunch cause I love them too much, I've been giving them out to friends/sold some at Big Deal Toronto but if you're interested in getting one feel free to contact me) pretty much has to be one of my favourite purchases &adiy fun and I wear them practically all the time since they are awesome layering pieces for me.

I also recently bought a bunch of things from ASOS that were on sale,

and in light of this I am giving away a $50 ASOS gift card to one lucky reader!

This week I was invited to the Home for the Holidays Preview, by the lovely Desia from Brill Communications!

It was a lot of fun, I came thinking it would only be Addition Elle, but it ended up being many companies showcasing their winter collection. Addition Elle actually had quite a few new things coming up, they're launching a new plus size winter sports line that consists of ski jackets and snow pants (which are normally pretty hard to find in plus sizes, let alone more fashion forward options).

Winter pieces were traditional; mostly black, embellishments, sequins etc. I did find a few items that for certain are going to become a part of my winter wardrobe such as: mesh zip up, military style dress and jacket and a few others. Now the most exciting from the AE preview was the new Ashley Graham lingerie line that will be launching in the winter as well! It's super cute and filled with pink and lace and bows (aka everything that's my fave).

Another thing coming up that is really awesome would be Korhani

which is a really nice home decor company. For the winter they have created fully decorated Christmas trees! They were really lovely and the one that caught my eye the most was filled with flowers, ribbons and overall just looked really really good. This year I am set on getting a pink tree but, the decorations we're just too cute to pass up on so I will be contacting Stefani about getting those decorations for my tree :)

I also got to try the Emjoi Micro-Pedi outside on the patio, it was awesome and I honestly have the worst feet ever(working two jobs and always being busy led to this) and this has to be the best thing i've ever seen for your feet, basically you can give yourself a pedicure at home without those scary knife looking scrapers and all that, it's simple and electronic and you can do it pretty much anywhere, I would recommend this over anything i've ever seen.

Overall the morning was great; got a manicure from Donato Salon + Spa

using the newest Deborah Lippman

nail polish(this was super exciting because i've been a longtime fan of them since I first saw the Happy Birthday nail polish on Fredflare a few years ago)
