Hi there ! Recently, I've noticed that crochet is a really big trend right now, and at first, I admit i was hesitant. Why would anyone want to wear a paper doiley? But the delicate lace-y patterns grew on me and the other day I was in the sale section at Anthropologie and came across this:
I tried it on and it's actually really delicate and pretty! You can wear a body-con dress under so it can contrast with the loose fitting of this tunic. Or even jean shorts, skinny jeans, leggings, the options are endless. Before we made the purchase, we analyzed the stitching and it turns out there was a large hole that could be repaired with some sewing, and was granted 20% off of $39! (Originally $89) I am quite happy with the purchase.
Here is another tunic by Free people that is quite similar:
On another note, I managed to get the Coastal scents warm palette !
So pretty ! Endless neutral looks... I personally like wearing neutrals mostly, and for colour my favourite is different shades of purple. I'm not really one to go for the blues and greens, but I do, on occasion. Thanks very much for reading!
Until next time,
Rebecca
Hey! I wanted to share a picture of a lovely nail colour I recently borrowed from a friend. This is Essie's Too too hot and it's gorgeous!
The formula is amazing for this polish, it is so smooth and easy to apply, and you only need two coats for a solid finish. Highly recommend this shade for late summer vacations :)
What is your favourite nail polish colour for the summer?

Hi everyone! These days, it seems cupcake shops are very popular in the city. I've seen quite a few here and there but the only other one I've been inside is the Cupcake Shoppe located at Yonge and Eglington. These past few days I have discovered a new cupcake shop called Prairie Girl, located in the downtown area.
The picture is from here. The thing about these cupcakes is if you don't like icing, your screwed haha. the icing is literally bigger than the cake itself! When I ate these, I use a fork to eat it slowly (since they are $1.75 each I want to savour the taste) and its quite yummy. I think if you ate the whole thing at once, you might find there to be too much icing. The icing comes in many flavours, atop of a few base cakes (red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, carrot, etc.) So far I have tried vanilla with chocolate icing, vanilla with strawberry icing, and red velvet with buttercream icing :) I have to say I love the strawberry icing! It has a natural taste of strawberries and isn't too too sweet :)
The website for prairie girl is here -

Definitely check them out if you have a sweet tooth!
Until next time,

Hey!
One of my favourite things to do to pass the time while on the computer is to browse online shops. I don't usually buy the item, but it's just fun to see what's out there. I've discovered a new website called Planet Blue, and it is actually a very popular clothing store based in L.A. I've found a few items that I love, and kind of want to find here in Canada or... actually order online :)
1. Lace top
Look at how beautiful that lace is! Lace is really popular right now, but I find that lace can differ in many ways from it's texture to the designs on the lace. This is such a cute top for the summer, but I think you could wear it in the winter too, with jeans. Here is the link to this top: http://shopplanetblue.com/index.php/shop-online/tops/v-neck-lace-batwing-top.html?deptId=7
2.
Sequin and bead tunic
Drools! This is so pretty and fabulous. Since I am short, I think this top could work as a dress for me. What I like about this is that the sequins are not overwhelming, it is striped in sequins so it's not as flashy. Here is the link of the tunic: http://shopplanetblue.com/index.php/beaded-tunic-30346.html?deptId=
3. Fur vest!
I have been wanting a fur vest since last year. I never actually purchased one because they can get quite pricey- even for faux fur. This year I'm willing to spend the money bcause they are so warm and cute! This one isn't that expensive, it's $79. The ones I see at the malls are always over $200! Here is a link for the vest: http://shopplanetblue.com/index.php/shop-online/tops/garrett-vest.html?deptId=7
What online shops have you been checking out recently?

Hey! Today's post is going to be about perfumes because as of late, i have been a little obsessed.
Let's get right into it:
The following two perfumes are my two all time favourites that I have had in my collection for a while now.
1. Miss Dior Cherie
I love this scent. I would wear it all year round, it can be a perfect summer evening (like going to barbeque) fragrance, or even a winter (like going to starbucks for a hot drink) scent.
To me, this scent is a stronger take on the light, flirty and girly scents that are in many perfumes today. Here's a list of what's inside: Italian mandarin, egyptian jasmine, and patchouli. The bottle is adorable and it costs around $60 for a 1oz bottle. I don't usually buy the huge bottles of perfume because It takes me forever to finish just one, and over time, I think they evaporate if not used (is this true? because I always see my old perfumes loose their amount .. I think..)
2. Marc Jacobs Daisy
This perfume is one of the most famous out there right now. To be honest, I didn't know it would get so much rating and that everyone would buy it. I got mine literally right when it came out (about 3 years ago?) and nowadays, I hear people say " I don't want to get that, because everyone wears that." I don't understand when people say that's their signature scent and no one can touch it, when its sold in stores everywhere? Anyways, I love this scent, its light, fresh, and pretty. Since it's so popular, you can't really go wrong with spraying it because chances are the people who smell it will like it. This costs around $60 i believe, but they have rollerball and travel size bottle option that's cheaper.
Now I want to show you guys these new fragrances I have discovered and love
1. Aerie Sheer
I can't find a picture of it (the aerie website doesn't let me copy images) but here is the link to the perfume. I love this cute perfume! I recently purchased the rollerball and i think it's perfect for the summer. The notes of it are: patchouli, peony, and berries. I guess I happen to love smelling like a garden! But really, it smells lovely and appropriate for any age. It's $37 for a 1.7 oz bottle which isn't bad at all, and the rollerball is $12.
2. Hot Couture by Givenchy
This perfume smells so sweet yet sophisticated. I think it is appropriate for those who enjoy the sweet light scent but don't want something like the sugar perfume, or Justin bieber's haha. The notes are: raspberry drew, jasmine, bergamot, white musk. It's around $70 for a 1.7 oz bottle here in Canada, but there is also the rollerball option for less of a price. I actually received the rollerball from my mom's friend and have been loving it ever since.
Thanks for reading and what is your favourite perfume?
