John Galliano Spring 2014 #PFW

"Has Bill Gaytten found his groove at Galliano? Fall’s rigid, severe collection for women put a complete full-stop on the gorgeous but exhausting—and exhausted—creative chaos that defined the tenure of the man whose name is still on the label. Then came a Spring collection for men that hurtled off in a new direction—techno, lurid, courage of its convictions and all that. That direction was compounded today with Gaytten’s womenswear for Spring 2014. It had a colorful, synthetic, almost cartoonish kick. Like Pop Rocks. Which was why Azealia Banks banging her way through “212” on the soundtrack sounded fizzy enough to dodge the not-her-again bullet." - style.com

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2014 #PFW

"Jean Paul Gaultier is a showman, and his Spring 2014 collection was certainly a sight to see. Brimming with flirty flair, prints, and models who looked as if they were actually having fun, the runway certainly came alive with each look that artfully and energetically glided down. Right out the gate, Gaultier presented the bad girl, with loads of black leather, crop tops, zipper detailing, and mesh. The tough edge was given a feminine spin with ruffled hems and tulle." - fashionbombdaily.com

October TopBox Subscription

Teaming up with Shoppers Drug Mart's new venture called Murale, TopBox showcased some of the high end brands Murale will carry.  Think Sephora with Optimum Points!!!  With minimal locations across Canada, shopping couldn't be easier and more convenient with online shopping over at murale.ca.  I was truly excited about this box because BioDerma is FINALLY available in Canada!!  Check out below what was included in my October TopBox!

1) Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream - This moisturizing day cream is made with Arctic Berries and Peptides to help release good endorphins, relieves skin irritations, clarify skin, improves skin's immune function, and helps calm and sooth skin.  This cream is perfect for the upcoming Winter months ahead. 2) Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream - Made from Organic Shea Butter and Grapevine Polyphhenois to help nourish and anti-age your hands and nails. 3) L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Eye Balm - This eye cream works wonders focusing on smoother and firmer eye contour, anti-dark circles, puffiness, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles with the help of ruscus and holly extracts, and added collagen stimulation.  4) BioDerma Sensibio H2O - This face and eye cleanser also removes water resistant makeup without effecting your skins balance.  This Micelle Solution is made for all skin types, from dry to sensitive from oily to normal.  Honestly one of the best products I have ever used!

Friday #OOTD

I could not be happier that it is Friday, honestly this week lasted for ever.  So, when 5 o'clock came I was outta there and ready to get my weekend started!  I woke up a little late this morning, it must have been the back to back late night Halloween movies I watched last night, and therefore needed to throw together an outfit that was comfortable, yet perfect for a casual Friday at the office.  I decided on this patterned and multi-coloured blouse, dark skinny jeggings, black above-knee boots, silver jewellery, lip balmed lip, black lined eyes, and curled hair.  Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Thursday #OOTD

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!  Halloween is one of my favourite holidays and it isn't because of all the candy or the A-MA-ZING selection of Halloween movies, hello Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands!  I love that people can dress up and be whoever they want to for a day/night and not have to worry what others are thinking.  Since I had to work I opted to keep things simple by wearing these bright pink sequined Minnie Mouse Ears with a white and black floral peplum top, black skinny trousers, black statement necklace, red peep-toe pumps with rhinestone detailing on the heels, silver boyfriend watch, layered silver bracelets, black lined eyes, lightly curled hair, and a bold red lip.  What were you all for Halloween, whether it was at work or play??

Wednesday #OOTD

Half way through the week and I thought some bright colours and bold patterns were in need to get me through the rest of the week!  This blouse and short combo are both from season's past but I always find myself going back to them season after season.  I paired this silk floral blouse with emerald green silk shorts, bringing out the green in the blouse.  Complete with black opaque tights, black lace up brogues, simple silver jewellery such as boyfriend watch, bracelets, and long pendant necklace, straight hair, and simple makeup.  I know this is a little late but Happy Hump Day :)
