LA haul!

Hi there ! 

I decided to do a haul from my trip to LA. Me and my family took the greyhound from San Francisco to L.A. and it was a pretty smooth and peaceful ride. I read reviews about the LA bus station being very sketchy but it's not bad if you just grab your luggage and get a taxi or have a friend pick you up :)

First thing I got is this gorgeous dress from the BP section in Nordstrom. It's true mint colour isn't showing very well in this picture but it is a lovely dress that you can wear out grabbing coffee with friends or even dress it up and wear it to a summer wedding. 



Next are some miscellaneous items from Ulta. 
 I got my favourite L'oreal powder foundation in Light ivory (the lightest shade), two Nyx glosses in Beige and Tea rose, and Katy Perry lashes in Sweetie pie. I love the Beige colour, it is a very flattering soft pink shade and tea rose is a subtle medium rose-y pink colour. 

Lastly is an update, I actually exchanged the Tory Burch boots (mentioned in the previous post) for a black pair. I knew that black would be much easier to maintain than the asphalt shade and in the end, is a more practical colour. Here is a picture of them:

Haul from San Francisco!

Hello from San Francisco!

I am currently taking a vacation in San Francisco and I love it here. The weather is perfect- chilly but sunny and never rainy (about 15-20 degrees each day). There is a crazy amount of shopping around my hotel and I decided to pick up a few lovely things (2 to be exact, haha). 

First is the silk Blythe blouse from J.Crew.



I was looking at this blouse over the last couple of days and after some consideration decided to get it. I like how the grey polka dots are more subtle rather than if they were black. The material is 100% silk and I love the two front pockets. Don't forget J.Crew accepts 15% off for students! 


Second is my big purchase for this trip. Here's a preview:


 This is my first purchase from Tory Burch. I have been looking for a pair of tall, good quality leather boots for the last few years and have found the perfect ones. These seem very good quality (leather is a firm texture and the hardware is a solid heavy metal. Also the bottoms are lined nicely with a decently thick platform). Originally I was looking for a pair of black leather boots but I loved the greyish-brown leather colour so much- I decided to just get these ones and take SERIOUS care of them. These did come in black but I didn't think they looked as nice. Also, I love how the TB logo isn't huge. Some of the other styles had ginormous TB logos which I find a bit too flashy for my taste :)


Thanks very much for reading!
