Be My Valentine

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY LOVELY PEOPLE!  <3

I'm gonna keep this post short and sweet with lots of visuals.  Mostly because this is the craziest evening I've had in a while.  It is the evening of love, but also the evening of cleaning and packing for me!  I'll be en route to Jamaica first thing tomorrow morning for a work trip.  I'll have to leave my adorable boyf behind, and I will miss him hard!

Anywhoots...without further adieu...

'R' for my love, Ryan <3.  Ring from Urban Outfitters.

Fall Florals III

Finally an end to my floral-with-everything crusade.  You're all sick of it by now, I'm sure.  I wore this outfit a couple of weekends ago, and it was the perfect mix of some-what studious and terribly cute.  If I were still a student, I would wear this to class!  *sigh*  Sometimes I think about high school and university and what I wore back then.  These spurts of reminiscing usually end with a bad taste in my mouth.  I have always had an interest in clothes and fashion, but growing up my parents never had the money to buy me anything.  I always got *crappy* hand-me-downs from my older sisters.  When I did start to make my own money when I was 15, I shopped at the ever popular American Eagle (grooooooan).  Nearing the end of highschool and for the entirety of university I went through a weird emo-alternative-skater-indie phase.  This involved buddy holly glasses, studded belts, graphic tees, hoodies, beanies, skinny jeans and Vans -- all the while oggling at fashion magazines at Chapter's for hours.

Hey All!  First off, sorry for the looooong awaited post!  I've been pretty busy, but I'll elaborate on that later.  Right now I really want to tell you all about my sweet new shades!

A while ago I received an email from Firmoo asking if I would be interested in a free pair of glasses to review on my blog.  I said:  MOST DEF!!  

Anyway, the rest of the story is below..enjoy!

Peggy Bundy, You've Inspired Me

*Note the different frame border I used!  I'm gonna get to this!

Today I was having a bit of a Peggy Bundy kind of day!

• Denim button up - the Boyfriend's <3
• Leopard print cami - street shopping in S. Korea (approx. $5CAD)
• Winter leggings in Black - American Apparel
• Black flats - American Apparel
• Black & gold belt - Vintage (used to be my mom's...probably from when she was channeling Peggy Bundy...but for real. Haha.)
• Red leather wallet - Vintage Jordache (used to be my mom's)

I loved wearing this outfit today.  It felt fun, but also super relaxed (this could've had something to do with the fact that I slept in those tights...hmm).  I didn't actually wear the flats outside though.  It's still a little too cold for that in Canada-land.  Boohoo.

Anyway, have ya'll been able to tell that I keep messing around with how this blog looks??  I'm starting to feel like posting my pictures with the round-edged corners is starting to look a bit messy...hmm.  For this reason, I posted the first picture with solid straight edges.  What do you think?  Let me know!

IN OTHER NEWS:

Look what finally came in the mail for me today!!

It's a cheap (but terribly cute!!) copy of the YSL Arty Ring.  The most blogged about ring of the past year.  Now, I am totally...TOTALLY against buying fakes and replicas, but I wanted the ring so so badly, and I love the shape and design so much!  These retail for about $300CAD on the YSL website, and I just can't afford that right now.  So, in short, I gave in to searching for a replica online, and my wonderful boyfriend ordered it for me =).  This ring only cost him $13AUD plus $10AUD shipping (around $25CAD).  I love it so much!  The colour is perfect, and it suits my skin tone perfectly!  I don't feel so bad because YSL doesn't actually make the ring in this colour (it's actually a more lighter pink than it seems like in this picture).  HOWEVER!  I promise -- I promise so hard that I will buy the real YSL Arty Ring as soon as I can afford to!  In a dark green mayhaps... 

Check out the real YSL Arty Rings here.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!
