comfy~casual but practical

I've been living in turtlenecks/high neck tops for the past 6 months (what can I say, it's a work staple) and as soon as I saw this jumper from Junarose I knew I found a new piece to pair with said standard tops. I decided on pairing it with a sparkly one from H&M and my fave boots from New Look. This has now become one of my favorite go-to work outfits since it's so comfy~casual but still practical if that makes sense?

Addition Elle High-Low Chambray Skirt

I fell in loveeeeeee with the Addition Elle High-Low Chambray Skirt when I laid eyes on it back in February at the AE summer'14 preview.
I knew it had to get in my wardrobe asap, and was anticipating sooo hard for the day it came out(I'm not even over exaggerating, you have no idea how many times I would either tell Jayson or Jess I needed it nowww and pretty much everytime I went into Addition Elle I would ask the closest sales associate if they knew when it would come out haha).
It's been perfect for the Spring(although as of yesterday it seems as if Summer has already hit), I can pair it with pretty much any top and it's super comfy!

ShoeDazzle Review

January has always been a hectic month for me for some reason, even more so the past few years.
It's literally all my close friends and family's birthday and I feel like it's even harder for me to attempt at making an effort to go outside since it's always super cold.
Pearls birthday is the last of the endless amounts of January babies celebrations!
Thus with only a few days of the month left i'm feeling even more excited for the upcoming Spring, and all the exciting things coming with it, I especially can't wait to be swimming again!~~

Anyways, I recently made my first order off ShoeDazzle when they had a whole bunch of super cute shoes!! I've fallen in love with every pair all five are perfect; they we're exactly what I wanted, they fit perfectly and they we're super affordable on the site, downside was definitely the custom charges and customer service issue.
I choose to try ShoeDazzle after reading a really convincing review and since the shoes we're just so cute and pretty affordable over JustFab(pretty much the same thing just a Canadian Version, might try them out just to compare) because of the shoe selection at the time and although i'm super happy with my order, it just doesn't make sense to pay practically the same price of the shoes, just for them to arrive. Unfortunately(and also not their fault, I just thought maybe I'd be lucky) I got taxed by customs for all the shoes, and since two pairs came seperate from the huge initial box it ended up being almost $100 in customs for 3 packages, which ultimately made the shoes super expensive and not really worth it in the end. I was also pretty annoyed that they had never given me seperate tracking numbers/information that my order had shipped seperately, and had become really confused when I thought I had recieved my whole order(with shoes missing), and then tried to communicate with them twice to recieve the automated message that they would respond within 48 hours, and not have them respond at all until I sent a message to the facebook page, which was then cleared up super quickly within a few hours, I really appreciated that. :)

Overall I actually really like ShoeDazzle since they have really nice shoes at a super awesome and affordable price, the only downside is really the shipping issue(which you'd only have if you don't live in the states) otherwise i'd definitely be going on a shoe frenzy daily. Hopefully they will have better shipping options in the future so that I can buy more beautiful shoes from them.

Anywhoo these are the Shara's, I love them so much, only downside is they came creased when they arrived and since they have a no return/exchange policy for Canada I guess i'm stuck, but whatever they're still beautiful! I'm still kinda going crazy about iridescence... I now have 9 different pairs of holographic/iridescent shoes... and it will continue...

I'M NOT SORRY

Happy New Year everyone!!!!! Hope you all had a great year and an even better upcoming one!

This was the first year in an exceptionally long time that I decided not to do anything special.
Previous years were filled with young drunken madness at Beeb'z house(tradition since high school) but I guess with age most of us have since let that fade(we are mature young adults nao ^_^).

I actually just had dinner at home with the family and then headed downtown for a teeny bit. Jayson and I ended up trying to head home before midnight but only made it to the station we parked the car at with a minute to spare till countdown. It sounds kinda boring but I thoroughly enjoyed myself, wouldn't have spent new years eve any other way.

Every yearly transition always gets me thinking about the previous year and what accomplishments, goals, and aspirations I had and where I am now.
I feel like I really grew and learned more about myself this year than I have in the last while, I've finally figured out what I want to do and it's set me off towards my future goals.
Overall 2013 was amazing and has got me exactly where I need to be, 2014 will be just as if not equally as amazing and I can't wait for all the upcoming changes/everything in store.

When I saw this sweater at Forever21 I just knew I had to have it, maybe it was because my give no fuck attitude told me I must wear this when i'm just in one of those moods.
Which I totally was, while thinking about this past year.
Sorry, I'M NOT SORRY.
