My First True Shoe Love.

| Leave a response

I have become extremely girly over the past two years, but surprisingly enough, I seemed to have ignored a lot of shoe-shopping in the past. In the past couple of months, I managed to buy three pairs: a peep-toe slingback wedge from Payless, a pair of trainers from New Balance (I highly recommend them!), and my most recent addition is the Falcoin from Nine West.

Falcoin, CDN $79.99

I fell in love with a pair when I tried them on in the mall, but of course, the floor model was the last one in my size. It’s so classy and comfortable. It has the perfect heel height for me; any higher and I’ll be walking like a penguin. I don’t know what got into me. I actually called many Nine West locations to find it. But I had no luck.

After playing phone tag over the weekend, I finally got through to their phone ordering system to get me some retail love. Guess what? It’s on its way now!

Beauty Spree: Product Body and Sephora.

| 1 Response

I’m just so excited that I want to share my purchases with the world lol!


I got stuff from Product Body. I got the Crush on You Sugar Shea Scrubby Wash, and Pure and Double Whipped 100% Shea Butter, both in Yuzu. My package arrived last night and I already tried them out this morning. I’m all smiles about this one. Oh and yes, I got a sample of Crush On You in Gardenia. :) I’ll post a reviews in a couple weeks.


I had to make an emergency run to Sephora today because my all-time favourite facial cleanser, Philosophy Purity Made Simple, had just ran out. I got a giant bottle of goodness this time that’ll last me a long long time. I also got a Sephora Flashy Waterproof Liner in Flashy Copper. I’ll make this my go-to eyeliner this summer. And what’s Sephora without cute little samples? This time I picked up a sample of Smashbox’s famous makeup primer.

Wee!

My Summer Shopping Essentials + Some Link Lovin.’

It’s ridiculously hot and humid in Toronto these days. Because of this, I have a really strong urge to go out to the mall and buy summer items for my wardrobe.


White Jeans. This is seriously hot, hot, hot. I want one in bootcut, since pretty much nothing else will work with — to put it simply — my booty. :)


Wide Brimmed Floppy Hat. I don’t know what happened, but since my trip to Wonderland a few weeks ago, my skin has been very sensitive to any sun exposure. My face was badly burnt and itchy. With a cute hat like this, I can goof off under the sun all day.


One-piece Cutout Swimsuit or “Monokini”. Have you guys seen these around? These can go from cute to va-va-voom sexy. I’ve been working out and my pooch is not much of an issue anymore. This’ll hide my pooch whenever I decide to have some ice cream while I’m at the beach. :) Not to mention, it is nowhere as boring as one-piece bathing suits of the past.

Here I bring you my favourite links on the web this week…

Lifehacker Top 10 brings you the Top 10 Office Supply Hacks. Don’t forget to impress your boss ;) . My personal favourite — I really wish I’d known about this before — is how to get rid of permanent markings from the dry erase board.

This simple how-to video from StyleBell Blog really, really makes me want my long hair back. I’m growing out my hair to rock this style near summer’s end.

After reading Fabulously Broke In The City‘s rant on Society vs. Belly, I think I have learned to accept my little round pooch. It’s considerably smaller now compared to last summer, and I do feel that I like it soft-looking, or more ‘human.’ :) But you know, I wouldn’t turn down washboard abs if it was offered to me for free.

Joy at Makeup Junkie reviews Lise Watier’s Summer Collection called La Toscana. I’ve seen these at my local Shoppers and I am dying to get the Terre eye palette. It soon will be mine! I recently just picked up a bronzer by Lise Watier and I absolutely love it! *sigh* I’m so girly…

On a more geeky note, The Daily WTF‘s Tales from the Interview delivers another funny post. I worked in IBM for a summer position before. It is the most intensive application process, where I went through an online aptitude test after my one-on-one interview. I just couldn’t believe the elimination process described here.

Cute Overload never ceases to amaze me. A puppeh with bunneh babies? I just about fell off my chair when I saw this. This would’ve been perfect for Mother’s Day a few weeks ago. Awwhn.
