"Wrong"

I kinda like these boots...but I'm going to return them. I think I'd prefer a fitted boot. I just fell for the hidden wedge, but they aren't exactly the most practical for school (Still, quite easy to walk in.) The shirt, c/o Your Eyes Lie, is a crop top and it says "Wrong". Interestin, right? 
I like shirts with words, and Raimundo's brand Acid Reign is coming out with their own line following that theme. Excited! I'm definitely doing a post when the new stock is released.

 shirt from your eyes lie, skirt from wet seal, sweater thrifted, bag from urban outfitters, boots from spring.

LOVE WILL TAKE YOU

Blah blah blah, Happy Valentines Day, Yada yada yada!
I would probably like it more if there was more activities surrounding the holiday (think: Christmas). Yes, I am asking for more commercialization.  
I have a secret desire to host an amazing Valentine's Day party one day though...Like tonight's episode of Glee. I want to replicate the Sugar Shack ;) 

Or what about a more rustic Valentines?


 1 , 2 , 3, 4 
 & Here is my slightly unconventional Valentines outfit!
boots c/o Romwe, cape c/o Chicwish, belt c/o Stitched and Adorned.

I'm really a cat, you see.

Woo, another leopard item. Makes any plain outfit a bit more interesting :). This one is from Lulu*s (brand: MINK PINK). 
Well, there's one more week until reading week - and of course it's the busiest! I'd rather have stuff due before than after though. Now I can actually relax during reading week (except for work, blah).

dress from LuLu*s, scarf from le chateau.

I wanted to share a movie that I recently watched with you.
It's a bit of an older movie so some of you may have heard of it - DANCER IN THE DARK. It stars Bjork and is about an immigrant woman living the United States. She is slowly going blind, wants to be in a musical, and is trying to save up money for a surgery for her son; who will suffer from blindness too if he isn't operated on.
She imagines musical scenes around her so the movie has some musical songs as well.
The trailer doesn't do it justice so have one of the songs instead;

It was completely tragic, sad, moving and thought provoking. I highly recommend it!

XO.

GLOSSYBOX

Have any of you heard of Glossybox?
Basically, it's a subscription service where each month you pay to get a cute box filled with 5 different samples of products (sometimes more). This box is great for anyone who gets nervous when investing in beauty products (me) that they don't know will work. (Seriously, I was in Shopper's Drug Mart for like an hour trying to decide whether or not to buy coverup. End story; I'm going to Sephora instead soon haha). 

Glossybox is new to Canada (Founded in Germany) and will be 15 dollars to recieve each month.

I was super excited when I received mine. The pink box/wrapping was adorable.

& Those are the items I got! 
The prevage night cream is supposedly 130 bucks for the actual bottle or something - YIKES! Let's see if it works.
The nail polish was super lovely and I needed some too! 
I got two different creams (Oscar de la Renta Body Lotion and Ahava hand cream) both of which smell amazing.
The lipstick tube is actually mosturizing lipbalm, it works well!
I found the last item really interesting. Makeup has a lot of bacteria on it, and this brand "Beauty So Clean" provides sanitizer mists which you can spray over your makeup to safely sanitize it. It also came with two wipes. Interesting.


I also wore clothes today, surprise surprise.
A bit of a plain outside, and a bit of continuation from my last post...

Stubby legs are mine, dress c/o clubcouture, boots from forever 21, sweater from the gap, necklace c/o rings and tings.

XO.
