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!

Yellow Wishlist

If you read my blog, you know I'm obsessed with yellow, also you know I predicted that it would be one of the top colours this spring/summer. And if you did a little bit of shopping, you know I was right! YAAAAAAAAS.

Anyway here is my all yellow wishlist that makes me a little more courageous and patient until summer time (hopefully).

 This yellow sweater is from H&M and it fits perfectly.

 That cute little purse from Gap is a go-to for all those summer nights (sigh)

 That shirt -also from Gap- is perfect to add some colour for any outfit.

 That JCREW vest is all perfect and add that much colour for those colder spring mornings.

This is from JCREW and it's so cute.

What is your colour for this upcoming summer?

Thank you for reading and have a nice week!

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!

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!

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?

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.

What are your favourites beauty finds of 2014?

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!

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.

What are your JCrew favorites this season?
