Weekly Round Up #1

THE FIRST OF ITS KIND If you read my SPRING GOODIES post it blogged about a few posts back, then this post might seem quite similar.  I'm thinking of doing a Weekly Round Up post at the end of every week or so.  But, life happens, so I might not be the most consistent person ever.  But I shall try my best!

So, here goes...

Dior Sunglasses Since Spring is gradually making its way around the corner, Mr. Sun Shine has pleasantly decided the grace his self in our presence.  Much appreciated.  Thanks to those sun filled days of joy, I can finally bust out my good ol' Dior Glasses I got not too long ago in fall 2014.  I love then so much because they aren't like your really basic Ray-Bans.  

I'm currently on the hunt for really statement sunnies that will definitely be a conversation starter.  I think I'm leaning towards the Quay sunnies.  They are really bold and I love the patterns they sell.  On top of that, they are definitely more affordable than designer ones.  Maybe they'll be mine one day when I decide to splurge.

Rustic a midst city life Multiple times this week, I've been passing by this store on route to my original destination.  There's something about the way his building stands beside all the other stores is so mystifying.  FYI it's right beside KFC.  So, you get what I mean?  Ya.  I'm actually so curious to see the inside.  Yes, I do realize it says "Plumbing Supplies", and yes I'll probably be disappointed.  So, I guess I'll stick to admiring its exterior aesthetics.

Clinique Mascara I usually use my Maybelline mascara, but I found this Clinique one laying around the house one day and tried it.  So far, I like it.  It separates my lashes and gives them volume.  Not so much length, but the formula is still really nice.

Clouds On my way home from school I noticed something very intriguing in the clouds.  Just the way they are formed and how they were so soft and cartoon like.  Has anyone every seen clouds like that? This picture definitely does not capture its mesmerizing beauty which is really sad, but I hope one day you guys see it.  It's a true beau.

Socks and Sandals This week I've have been going to school in socks and sandals.  Like, almost everyday.  Just ask anyone I know.  It's honestly the smartest fashion decision I made because I don't know about you guys, but when the weather starts warming up but is still chilly, I'm so tempted to bust my summer gear.  But I can't because as I am human it's just too cold to do so.  My solution is to wear kawaii socks.  It's comfy, warm and trendy (at least in my opinion).  I used to see guys in nike slippers and socks and never understood their reasoning.  Now I do.

Healthy chips Have you ever tried veggie chips?  I don't exactly know the "technical" name for them, but they look sort of like this.  The only difference is that this one is gigantic!  Definitely picture worthy and hella photogenic.  Like seriously, why can't I be this photogenic?  It's not fair, this is a freaking chip for crying out loud!

Clean & Clean Skin Care IDK what to really say about this except that it worked really really well on my forehead.  I originally used it all over my face, but it was really drying.  So now, I only use it where needed. I.E. my forehead.  And That's it.  Now my skin has really cleared up!

Epi Bread So, there's this bread store near my house and everyone raves about it.  I'd never been, but I was eager to find out what all the fuss was about.  Eventually, the opportunity presented itself and I hopped on the band wagon.  I can finally understand why everyone raves about it.  From the minute I walked in, the atmosphere smelled of pastries and fresh bread.  Heavily.

Stripes & Statements

STROLLING AROUND TOWN During March break I had many days to take pictures, to which I was so fortunate and grateful for.  The snow had melted, the temperature was warming up and I was feeling very inspired and motivated to take pictures for you all!

Without school, I love wearing heels.  School always limits our fashion choices so I like to take advantage of no-school days.  So here I am in heels!  There are two types of girls: Heel lovers and Flat lovers.  I am definitely a heel lover.  Obviously, girls aren't just classified into these two categories, but you get what I mean.

I'm also extremely excited for this upcoming "week-end" because I have Good Friday off, Saturday, Sunday, Easter Monday and Tuesday off! Wow this is every students' and fashion bloggers' dreams!  I hope  to make the most of my extremely long "week-end"!

Anyways, the day before I took this picture, it was birthday and my lovely friend got me this gorgeous statement necklace.  If you read one of my previous posts "SPRING GOODIES" than you probably would have seen this necklace.  It's so gorgeous and I'm obsessed.  I don't know about you guys, but every time I get something new, I HAVE to wear it the next day or I just CANNOT function. It's my version of coffee shall we say.  If your like me please let me know because I don't think I'm the only one!

SATURDAY BUZZ Let me begin by recounting to you all the origin of this outfit.  That morning I was putting together potential outfits and laying them on my bed deciding on which outfit I should wear that day.  I don't exactly remember as to how I came across this sweater, but the moment I laid eyes on it I knew that was going to base my entire outfit around it.  This gorgeous opaque orange cable knit sweater belongs to my mom, but she's let me borrow it whenever I want. SCORE!  The sweater is so thick and well made it's definitely a good buy.  So, I asked her where she got it from and she replied: "The Bay".  The Bay is a huge department store where I live and I was thrilled!  I don't know about other people, but I love department stores.  They are kind of like thrift stores, but obviously they are not hand-me-downs.  They sell designer brands as well as small brand names.  I believe it's safe to say that this sweater is now one of my mom's best buys, personally.

I will fore warn you all that I did manage to take quite a gallery load of pictures for this outfit and it was quite hard to narrow them down, so if you find yourself scrolling through this page like there was no end... Trust me. There is!

Also, I hope to be able to find more time in my day to shoot more outfits and be more active here.  I really do love putting together outfits, documenting them through pictures, and writing about my adventures on my blog.  I'll do my best to post every other day or more if if can!

I also want to mention that the night before I was feeling quite bored with my nail game and wanted to add a little spunk.  I managed to relocate where I put my acrylic nail glue, and well the rest is history.  Now I am current'y typing on my keyboard with extremely long (in my opinion), metallic blue acrylic nails.

Then, while taking pictures at a park this cute dog approached me just as my mom took the picture!  This really made my day.  I love dogs and animals overall.  They always manage to put a smile on my face even if I am feeling down.  So, obviously I had to include the dog in my post!

Lastly, I wanted to tell you all about a company called "West Egg".  West Egg is a company that sells brands at discounted rates of up to 80% off products!  They host over 113 brands including Ray-Ban, Lavin Paris, Gevenchi and Danielle Welington!  On top of all that, I also got you all a special hook up for an extra 10% off your purchase with the code 'wearwestegg'.  Feel free to check out their website  at  www.westegg.co/b/XQg6 if you are interested.

A WHILE BACK So basically, I was at home and wanted to take some really cool pictures.  I didn't exactly know what kind of pictures, but I just knew they had to be c-o-o-l.  This is what became of that!  I'm really impressed with how they turned out.  Obviously the quality is not the best because I don't have a really good camera and this was taken via Photo Booth.  But hey, what can you do?

As I started setting up for the "shoot" I wasn't exactly too sure where I was going with this but I had somewhat of an idea.  I also took inspiration from some amazing Instagram feeds that I've been following for a long time now.  But mainly, I just really wanted to take the opportunity to put my head chain to work and show it off! I'm obsessed with it and only wish I could wear it every single day!

There are a lot more photos from this shoot then I'm showing, however these are my favourite.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to post these pictures or when to post these because this isn't the typical post here on St Style.  Nevertheless, I do hope you all found this somewhat COOL!

Let me know what you think of it! <3

In some of the pictures, you can see my laptop in the reflection! So, look out for that! :)
