FOTD & OOTD | So shine bright, tonight you and I, we’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky


I recently had a meetup that called for something a bit more formal and I'm always a bit clueless in these situations because I don't have a lot of formal clothes in my wardrobe, so I always end up borrowing something from my mother such a classic black pants and a blazer. This time, I took the time to analyze my wardrobe and came up with an outfit that I think is still wearable for everyday but it's a bit more classic than a t-shirt and jeans, for example.

tunic w/ belt - Giant Tiger | white tank - Forever 21 | leggings - eBay | tan - St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse 'Dark'

Marcelle Extension Plus Mascara | Annabelle Single Eyeshadow - Goddess | Anastasia She Wears It Well Eye Shadow Palette ('Onyx' on crease, outer corner, upper and lower lashline) | Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick - Primrose

ankle bracelet - Anji

I was very kindly sent this super lovely sterling silver ankle bracelet from Anji Jewelry some times ago - I have not worn an ankle bracelet since I was in high school I think, so I was super thrilled to be given this opportunity! The bracelet came in a cute and luxurious little black velvet pouch and as soon as I took it out, I was amazed at how it sparkled in the sun!


It looks very delicate but unlike my previous ankle bracelets which broke within a week or so, I have worn this one every day since I received it about two months ago. It has not lost its shine and there is not even one scratch on it - I even wear it in the shower! The 925 Sterling Silver Ankle Bracelet 25 cm retails at $25 but it has sadly been sold out. Anji offers jewelry for women, men and children and you are sure to find something to suit your taste among all their unique creations.

OOTN: Sun-kissed skin so hot, we'll melt your popsicle, oooooh oh oooooh

Last week, I met with some friends to have dinner at Chez Milot and then we headed to Radio Lounge in Montreal. This is what I wore to dinner because I didn't have time to change before:


Cardigan: Giant Tiger
Tank top: Forever 21
Shorts: Stitches (those were an old pair of jeans I cute into shorts)


I did my hair before the restaurant to save time, but as you can see in the pictures below, it didn't hold its curls through the day because it was so hot and humid, despite my overload of hairspray. And after the club, it was totally falling flat LOL.

After dinner, I changed to go clubbing:

with Sara and Véronique (I did Sara's makeup!)

 What a dumb smile LOL

Cami: Simons
Necklace: Avon
Studs earrings: eBay

with Sara and Gen

I don't have a picture of my full outfit, but I wore this skirt from Limité:


It is really short (I wouldn't wear it on the street), but it was on sale ($10, if I remember well) and I couldn't get over the pretty lace details:


 

The day after, my father found a stray dog in your yard! Don't worry, we found his owner pretty quickly and handed him to her. I bet he ran from the house because he was scared of the storm. Poor doggie!

 It's a shih tzu named Toufou.

The way he sits is just too cute! I was wondering if he had legs problems, though )=

with my mother

We gave him cat food because we were worried he would be starving - and he ate it!

It was nice meeting you, Toufou!

I love this song. Is it lame? I don't care. In my opinion, Miley Cyrus has such a unique voice, just like Avril Lavigne and Rihanna. Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely not into teen stars like Justin Bieber (I could punch him!) but I can recognize true talent. I only hope Miley will not turn into a slutty girl like so many did before her.


I'm supposed to go to Montreal with the boyfriend this afternoon. Here's my very simple OOTD:


cami: Forever 21
shorts: Stitches (old jeans I cut into shorts)
necklace: Avon
Sunglasses: my mom's

I've got packages in the mail today! It's nothing too exciting, but it's so fun to receive unexpected packages ^^

My mother suggested me to sign up for Being Girl to receive free samples of Always and Tampax (click here to register), and here they are! They sent me:
  • 1 Tampax Pearl Lites
  • 1 Tampax Pearl Regular
  • 2 Always Thin Pantiliners
  • 1 Always Ultra Thin Slender Pad
  • 1 Always Clean ultra Pad
  • $4 off coupon for a Venus Embrace
  • Sandylion smiley stickers
  • 1 bookmark
  • cute resealable bag 

BBM sent me a paid survey to complete about radio stations. They even included a $5 bill!

The boyfriend wanted to go wander in downtown Montreal for the day, so I thought I'd share my FOTD and OOTD with you.

I'll end this post with the only thing I bought today: 

two ribbed tanks from Forever21 (4.50$ each)

I'm addicted to ribbed tanks (especially long ones). They are so easy to wear as they go with everything! I wanted a yellow one and a white one, and at this price, I couldn't say no. Not to mention that it's my first purchase from Forever21. The first time I went by to take a look, it was crowded, so I returned today. I soptted nice things, but they were too expensive for me-_-
