JULY- AUGUST 2012 MUST HAVES

My birthday is coming up in August and I am tres tres tres excited. I cannot wait to turn 20 woot woot. So this post will basically be my wishlist as well as things I will cough up the moula for by myself. 

Michael Kors Jet Set Tote

I haven't seen this exact color on his site but I have seen it on many people and it is beautiful. I love the fact that it's big enough so I can put my laptop in it. I'm not sure if I should get the Macbook Logo Tote which comes with a laptop compartment or just the regular one.

AA Riding Pant

The second thing on my wishlist is the infamous American Apparel Riding Pant. I've always wanted these pants but always came up with an excuse to not buy them. I had a trial run in them and believe it or not I found myself always reaching for them. So I have decided that I will buy two of them the black and taupe ones. Honestly people say they are just leggings but I feel like their so much more than that.

Real Technique Core Collection

The third thing on my wishlist is the Real Techniques Core Collection brush set. I am sure many of you have heard about Real Techniques and if you haven't it was basically created by makeup YouTube guru Samantha Chapman. There have been some many good reviews on these brushes that I really have to get my hands on them. Not only is it cheap($18.00) but the quality I hear is amazing.

OOTD: MOXIES

Today I went to dinner with my cousins at Moxies

Classic Grill. At first I threw on a long maxi

skirt but for some reason I wasn't really feeling

the ensemble so instead i wore some riding pants.

One of those nights

I went out with the girlies and decided to bring out the shorts. This is actually the first time

I've rocked the shorts with nylons look. I absolutely love it. 

To get my nylons this way I just continued ripping it and pulling at it.

This is more of a fall look but people who know

me know I don't really care, if it looks good then I wear it.

Beyoncé - Countdown

I'm really loving the Countdown video by Beyonce. The video has a mod vibe and the colours add an extra UMPH to the video. Who else spots American Apparel??

AMERICAN APPAREL 90% WAREHOUSE SALE

I thought the sale would honestly be a waste of my time so i was hesitant to go. But at the end of the day i bought three things that originally would of cost me $182 but instead only cost me $50. I managed to find a foil nylon dress in the gold metallic colour, a lace shirt and some twill welt pocket pants. I want to go again but the last day for the sale in today and it’s thanksgiving. Anywhooo if the sale rolls into your city it’s worth the look. And HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY FELLOW CANADIANS :)

Back to SCHOOL needs and wants

So I start my second year of university officially tomorrow, but I've

 noticed that I haven't gone back to school shopping. What has 

happened to me, I've become really really lazy. Last year I did my 

shopping three weeks in advance. Well as school starts I plan to 

accumulate a number of things and I thought I should share what i need and want to get.

First off, I want a Mulberry Alexa inspired bag. Notice the word 

inspired, I truly wish I could buy the real thing but there is no way

right now that I can drop $1,000 on bag. Maybe some day.

I know the iPhone 5 is coming out but I don't mind settling for the 

iPhone 4. I've been debating whether to get the Blackberry Bold 9780

or this bad boy, but i think I've made my decision. I

already weighed the PROS ad CONS of both.

This shouldn't be a shocker to anyone, I really want to get my

hands on a pair of  Jeffrey Campbell Litas preferably these taupe

suede ones. I know everyone has been rocking them but I love the 

way they look and I've heard that there really comfortable.

I've been longing for The Disco Pant for a very long time as well

as the Riding Pant. I went to American Apparel and tried on the
Riding Pant but I didn't really like them too much. I saw a
model wearing The Disco Pant in a magazine and knew I had to get them.

EVA in VIBE MAG

Eva Marcille Pigford would definitely be up there with being one of my favourite

models. Anything she wears she knows how to rock the heck out of it.

Whether its rocking the most uncomfortable looking shoes or the

tightest dress she has it in the bag. In this photoshoot for VIBE

Magazine Eva is wearing YSL, Prada, Topshop and American Apparel.
