Airport Style

Hey guys!

Sorry I have not post since at least a week because I was busy with finals! But I'm back at it and so happy to be doing this travel edition posts! 

Plane/Airport style seems so boring and meanless to most people, but I think it's so important mainly for the comfort and also for looking presentable when arriving! Here are some of my tricks to find the perfect balance between super comfy and civilized!

1.  JOGGERS are trendy right now, wear them! You can find so many pairs that are closer to your body and fits better than just regular joggers! I tend to get cold on a plane so I prefer joggers to leggings!

 Fit: perfect, Look: on point. Gap.

Looks like jeans but feels like joggers #winwin American Eagle Outfitters.

2. COMFY SHOES. Another trendy item lately? Slip-ons. Get your hands on a pair it's magical! You can also wear sneakers that also are super trendy, but a little less dressy than most of slip-ons (but you can run during your transit if needed)!

 Fab and comfy! Forever 21.

Can't go wrong with those right? Nike.

3. OVER SIZED SHIRT are comfy and just work well all day everyday. There is no need to explain this.

 Classic with a twist. American Eagle Outfitters.

Those mixed prints will make you outfit fun! Gap.

4. SWEATER! If you have a long cardigan or poncho, it also works well as a blanket and you can put it on when it's cold and tie it around your waist when it's warmer.

 Poncho: wearable blanket. Forever 21.

5. Wear darker colours! If you are non-stop eating (like me) you can stain your outfit and if you are wearing white that's all we gonna see.

6. Bring a scarf with you! Not only it will upgrade your outfit, it also double as a blanket! #genius

7. Bring (fuzzy) socks in your carry-on! They are not really chic so just put them on when you take your shoes off because yes, we all take our shoes off.

8. Avoid jewelry or belts when you are traveling because it's just longer at the customs and taking it off increases your risk of loosing it!

9. Keep it simple with makeup! If you are embracing the bare face: good for you girl, if not try to concentrate on your skin (BB cream and a bronzer are light and give you the good amount of natural yet good look. Avoid mascara or liner if you wanna sleep because you'll probs ruin it without realizing it. #naptime

10. If your girls don't need so much support you can give them (& yourself) a break by wearing a bralette or a sport's bra!

11. Stay hydrated and use your plane time to put on hand cream! Cause usually nobody got time for that!

Hope you all enjoyed those tips and please share yours in the comments below!

Travel Edition Posts

Hello guys!

Hope your spring is warmer than here!

I  have a little announcement: I'm making a travel edition posts for the next couple of weeks because I am excited for my upcoming getaway + I love prepping and organizing my travel stuff like a freak so you might find AT LEAST a tip or two for your next vacation! STAY TUNED!

I am starting this right away with some random tips!

You should buy your plane tickets between 49 and 57 days before leaving they're at their cheapest.

Avoid nail polish in your suitcase. Seriously.

Don't forget to bring a plastic bag for your dirty clothes or keep one from your shopping spree.

Pack your makeup in order that you put it on in the morning, you won't forget anything. Brilliant.

If you are traveling with family or friends, make a list of things you can split and everybody's luggages will be lighter and emptier ( space for new stuff). If you are travelling alone: get travel size everything!

Hope you enjoyed those little tips and be sure to leave yours below!

Don't forget to stay tuned cause there is so much more coming soon!

Thanks for reading!

Pastel Passion

It seems that pastels are in this spring/summer again and that is pretty cool. I'm not the biggest fan of pastel colours but I do like pastel details. Who did not bought a mint nail polish in the past two years?   Guilty. My favourite pastel colour lately is baby blue. I feel like it is so refreshing and it goes with pretty much anything. Other blue hues? Yes. Opposites colours like yellow or mandarine? Yes. Black and white? Of course. Nudes? YEEEEEES (and it's gorgeous!).

Surprisingly, I have been doing some online (and real life) shopping to find the perfect spring pastel accessories and clothes and I've found some awesome stuff.

 This Panama Hat is from JCrew.

 This faux leather jacket from Ann Taylor (it's pricy tho).

 This blouse is from LOFT.

 Those elastics are also from LOFT.

 This nail polish is from Forever 21 (and they have so many other hues)!

This mint bucket bag is from JCrew and I can't get over it.

Finally, this t-shirt (also from JCrew) I got it and I love it (+ it's on sale).

Hope you enjoyed this!

Target Haul Clothes + Makeup

On a scale from one to ten, I'm Bethany Mota obsessed with Target. I could live in there. Since all the Targets are closing in Canada, I'm so sad and I try to get everything I wanted there. Everything is on sale but that means it's unfortunately coming to an end.

By the way does anybody knows if canadian Targets will receive the Lilly Pulitzer collection? They were supposed to but they announced the closing after so I'm confused. (Let me know please!)

I bought this summer tote and it's huuuuuge. It's in fake leather but it's good quality and it's reversible! How cool is that? I got the coral/light pink one but I might return for the navy/royal blue or the yellow/taupe one because they are also really pretty! (It's cat approved!)

I almost bought some really similar rain boots at JCrew.com but the reviews were bad and everybody commented that they were extremely uncomfortable. Then I found those at Target for 24$. And they are comfy. YAAAAAAAS. (they run kind of large).

This is a miracle. It's a NewYorkColor base for your lips and it's super moisturizing. All that magic for 3$.

This nail kit from Revlon X Marschesa is so pretty and practical for traveling! And it was 10$ at Target instead of 15$ in any drugstore.

This brows mascara from Sonia Kashuk is amazing, it stays all day long and it looks super natural. (7$).

This brows creams are also amazeballs, they are creamy but not to much and it's perfect for really dark brunettes like me (if you are blonde, it's probs not for you!) From Sonia Kashuk, 7$.

THIS GUYS. A COCA COLA POLAR BEARS SWEATER. SERIOUSLY! And I paid it 5$.

What are your latest purchases at Target?
Did you found any deals recently?

Let me know (:

And The Best Spring Collection Award Goes To

JCREW!

I mean, have you seen it? I'm probably not surprising you guys because I love this store but they get me, literally. I might spend a lot in a near future (really near future). I need to stop visiting J Crew's website. Really. I'll be ruined (in a really near future).

WHATEVS.

I've already passed an order... and I still have so many items in my bag (& wishlist). So this is a warning post people.

I'm curious to know if you recently bought anything at J Crew or elsewhere and what is it? Thanks for reading and let me know about your recent purchases!

(I might do a haul soon so if I receive my order it's gonna be a part of it!)

January Haul

Since Christmas, I am addicted to watching haul videos on YouTube. The concept of an haul is to show what you've recently bought. (It's not about showing off!) And since I'm so curious and I love fashion and shopping -obviously- I love to watch what people have purchased.

So it inspired me to do an written haul of my January purchases (because, why not?)

ZARA

I bought this denim jacket that was 69,95$ reduced to 39,90$. Since mine been stolen I was in need of one because it's my go-to vest during spring and summer time and it's perfect with maxi dresses and skirts which I wear all the time!

I bought this raincoat 29,90$ (don't know the original price cause the price tag is missing) and I'm so glad I got it! It's a boyish cut but it fits really well. My cat approves!

I saw this faux fur vest online for the first time months ago but they did not had it at my Zara. So I waited because it was 99,95$. The small got away fast and I still thought about it often but during the sales I waked in Zara and there was one small reduced to 59,90$. You guessed how it ended. But I'm not regretting any bucks I put into it because the faux fur colours and spots are just perfect and different from anything you find on the market right now. Plus the quality's great!

GAP

My parents pretty much insisted that I get this one because it was reduced to 60,00$ instead of 179,95$. And I loved that the exterior is in jersey but it still is a warm duvet winter coat. Plus it long enough to cover my butt. YAAAAAAAAASSS!

I was watching this one online for so long now! The original price was 188,00$ and I got it for 80,00$. (It's real leather so it explains the price!) It's not the type of clothing I usually buy and I can't explain why I really wanted it. The picture is from their website because I'm still waiting for it!

TARGET

I'm really sad that Target is closing in Canada and the makeup section is probably the one I'm gonna miss the most! But I got this lip crayon in Gramercy Park Plum and this eye primer from NewYorkColor for 3,99$ each. (I'm probs going to review those products in a future article + some no heat curlers I got too)

BATH & BODY WORKS

Not into that store as much as the haul youtubers I watched but still, I am OBSESSED with polar bears and I found those cute slippers for 5,00$ instead of 16,00$ and the little sleep mask that was 50% off of 16,00$.

We already are in the second month of the year (still really cold tho) and I'm excited as we get closer to spring/summer! Can't wait until March, it's like my mental limit to winter! Since then I'm having a February wish list to help me motivate during cold winter nights.

Thank you so much for reading! Please recommend this if you liked it!

What did you bought recently?

What's in my makeup bag? (travel edition)

I'm always overpacking when I travel because I'm telling myself "maybe I'll need this". It's accurate for clothes but also for makeup. Even that one eyeshadow I've never used seem to be necessary when I pack. Awkward right?

I have decided to show you exactly what's REALLY necessary and it might help me too when the time will come for me to pack! (win-win)!

Lord Mortdecai

I saw the movie «Mortdecai» yesterday and I loved it! All the critics are bad but it's usually a good sign for me! I hate pretentious critics that only likes authors movies, to me, if a movie is funny and entertaining it's worth it. Anyway, the characters have a awesome british preppy style and it inspired me so much!

I love preppy style so much (obviously)!

Here are some of the looks I found on Pinterest (follow me: Anne-Marie Pouliot)

 I'm dying. Every single thing in this outfit is perfect.

Nudes + gold = classy.

 Cliché but american preppy.

 My go-to outfit (except for the tall boots & jeans instead of leather pants)

 This coat is hot (and the pom pom too).

I have this vest and I wear it all the time.

& all Olivia Palermo's outfits (sigh).

Do you like preppy style?

Croissant tee

Hello there!

I was in Montreal for half a day this week and I had like an hour to shop. I only bought one thing (which is pretty rare when I shop on Ste-Catherine street) but I simply love it. As I wrote on instagram: I upgraded my tee game (pizza emoji).

Food clothes are the best.

The t-shirt is from forever 21.

You can follow me on instagram for daily Prints & Preppy!

Yellow

As I said in a previous post, my mind is in Miami, and it makes me wanna wear bold colours and fun summer prints. Instead, I'm wearing the warmest clothes I own for the coldest time of the year!

low and I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of the most popular shades this summer! Along with bright pink and cobalt blue.

Yellow is scary for a lot of people because it's not always flattering for the skin tone. Here are my top  tips to wear it and own it! No excuses to not wear it. AWESOME.

1. Wear it during summer time when your skin is darker. Easy right?

2. Add it to your outfit with a accessory like shoes, jewelry or handbag . Shoes & handbags are nowhere near your face, so it does not make you look tired or sick (win/win).

3. You can wear yellow as a part of a print mixed of other colours.

4. Play it casual with denim.

5. OWN IT. yellow on yellow on yellow. (just find the good shade for you).

6. Wear it under the belt, again, nowhere near your pale winter skin.

Hope I'm going to see everybody wearing yellow this spring & summer!
