2014 Best Beauty Finds

I'm very faithful to my beauty products, except I love to try new ones! But I usually go right back to my old ones after!

This particular past year I've discovered new products that are replacing my old ones for good! I thought I should share my 2014 beauty finds with you!

Here is my top five!

1. They're real! mascara by Benefit. (30$)

It is working, for real! Not only I noticed it, but my entourage too.

2. Radiance Plus Golden Glow Booster by Clarins. (30$)

Add 3 drops a day to your cream and it gives you a nice tan all year long, plus it looks really natural.

3. HD Microfinish Powder by Make Up Forever. (20$)

It gives your skin a matte and even look and touch, and it's so easy to apply!

4. Arlésienne Gorgeous Lips by L'Occitane en Provence. (18$)

Makes your lips shiny and the smell of it remember me of my grand-mother.

5. Rose gold perfume from Zara. (25$)

Smells good and fresh, still feminine and classic.

Where all my money is going (right now)

It's one of the rare time of the year when Zara is having a sale! And it's way easier now that they ship to Canada (finally!) because there is so many more styles online.

All of this to say I made a wish list (obviously).

That coat + all black everything outfit + hat.

Orange/red lady bag + denim boyfriends + white tee + blue mirrored ray-bans.

Leopard tee + black skinnies + shiny heels.

All white outfit + those color block beauties.

Denim vest: mine been stolen ): so I got this one and I love it! I'm always having an hard time buying denim items because the color of it must be perfect!

Nice boho look for the summer! (Even if it's way too small for my taste).

Prediction: yellow will be everywhere this spring/summer.

Black heels with a metallic twist. YES.

Thank you for reading hope it inspired you!

Happy New Year!

I have been absent during the holidays due to family reunions and work, but I have so many new ideas for the new year! I feel so inspired by the holidays, everybody feel free to wear outfits they would not wear usually!

My Christmas outfit was a little black dress from Zara with franges on one side only! It's pretty rare that I wear an all black outfit for Christmas!

For NYE, I was wearing a pretty casual outfit (tartan shirt + jeans) but because it was cold and snowy I put on my camel cape + faux fur collar + large black hat.

Hat (Target), Faux fur collar (boohoo.ca), Cap (old), Clutch (Dior).

Hope you all had nice holidays!

Is grey the new black?

Now that my finals are done and it's almost Christmas, I wanna dress pretty and comfy. I'm probably crazy, but when clothes are grey, they seem way ore comfortable than when they are any other colors.

Until chic Christmas outfits, I'm wearing all grey outfits and I feel inspired by this neutral yet trendy color!

Do you love grey as much as I do?

It's that time of the year

I received my JCrew catalog weeks ago but I was studying so I waited until now to open it (No distractions please). But I just did and I wanted to share my wishlist with you!

I love JCrew because they are not afraid of edgy and they use so many different quality fabrics! It's so rare nowadays! And it's not about the price, just think about Anthropologie! I love that boutique but sincerely you pay for the style and the name because their clothes are made of polyester and cotton, and their shoes are faux leather (plastic). That does not mean it's bad, I'm guilty of buying there too, it's just that I feel so much better when I find a expensive piece of clothing that I love and that is made of noble materials. And that is usually the case at JCrew.

That being said, I pretty much have the JCrew style, which is preppy and trendy with an edgy twist to it. So when I receive a catalog I know exactly I'll end up broke.

This sweater will be perfect with a slim denim, but I'll probably get an other color!

This will dress anything! (There is a bracelet too...)

The 3 C's rule: Comfy, Colorful & Chic!

I want this coat so bad! I have no idea which color should I get because every single one is beautiful.

Fabrics of the season

I'm obsessed with mixing textures in my outfits so fabrics are really important to me. It is something I care about when I buy clothes. I think that a good fabric make a piece of clothing so much more interesting and fancy. That does not mean you can't wear polyester, that just mean you have to choose your pieces carefully! (Polyester is super resistant and easy to maintain!)

That being said, this season it's all about feathers, sequins, faux fur, velvet and neoprene.

All of these are so festive and nice to incorporate to your holidays looks!

Here are some of my inspiration I found on Pinterest!

This emerald green coat is creating the outfit.

Goregous. So sad it's too cold to only wear a faux fur vest in Canada ):

This monochrome look is the proof that mixing fabrics is the key to success!

White Winter

I love the idea of a all white outfit this season! It's the color that upgrade an outfit to a fancy level, and the monochrome version just makes it even more fabulous. For Christmas, I imagine myself wearing a white jumpsuit with silver heels and jewelry (I just need to find this in a store... #nothappening). If you are like me, I create an outfit in my head and I'm always sad that I can't find it in stores ):

Hopefully, there are a lot of things I find in stores and I get inspired by (maybe to much...) 

About the all white everything outfit, I love that fashion has become a world of freedom that as no rules such as "no white after labour day". I'm not a fan of being told what to do, especially when it's about what to wear. Plus, white is the color of the snow, which makes it the color of winter right?

For this season white outfits, I usually use pieces with more "winterish" fabrics like wool. The secret to a fabulous monochrome outfit is mixing the fabrics, so mixing white denim and a white wool sweater is hot, but wearing a white polyester shirt with a white polyester skirt is not.

That being said, what do you think of white during this freezing season?

Here are some of my pinterest inspiration:

White jeans (or shorts) + graphic shirt = instant cool outfit

Love the mix of this huge casual sweater dress and these over the knee boots!

Add a colorful accessory to an all white outfit is GENIUS. (I WANT THAT BAG).

(Picture from www.whowhatwear.com)

Of course I'm a huge fan of the all white outfit during summer (it's always better with a tan... #canadianproblems) and I usually wear it with one or two bright accessories!

Here's the trick:

SUMMER: white clothes + turquoise or coral or yellow accessories

WINTER: white clothes + burgundy or navy or green accessories

Black + white = all year long (all life long)
