Top: Stitches $5, Skirt: Fairweather $15, Tank Top: Forever 21 $5, Flats: Value VIllage $4, Belt: Value Village $3, Watch: The Great Canadian Superstore: $10

Hello everyone!!! I hope you all had a good weekend, I caught my boyfriends cold and am now curled up on the couch with a huge roll of toilet paper since I have no Kleenexes (lol) hoping to get better soon. I took these photos a couple days ago before going downtown to hand out a resume. I freaking love the colour of this shirt, I have been obsessed with it recently and it was only $5 on sale, you cant beat that!! The back is pretty cool since theres a cut out with lace straps connecting to the top of the shirt, I will need to take a photo of that next time. I think I have had this skirt for a couple years now if you go way back on my blog roll it definitely shows up in a lot of posts. I got these leopard print flats at Value Village, originally they were about $7 but some nice lady in front of my mom and I gave us 30% off coupons so they were super cheap!! I have never been much of a watch person but I saw this one in the clearance section when I was looking at makeup in the Canadian Superstore and was sold on it.  I hope everyone has a great day!!

P.S I have recently got addicted to Instagram although I haven't posted any photos yet I have been taking lots so there will be a ton soon. So everyone tell me there Instagram name so I can add it!! Mine is prettyniftyandthrifty :)

I Dont Want Easy, I Want Crazy

I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes on Grooveshark

Shirt: Stiches $10, Skirt: H&M $20, Sandals: Joe Fresh $20, Necklace: Gift

Wooooo finally my photoshop is up working I am so stoked!! I was very unmotivated to take outfit photos when I knew I couldn't do anything with them. I started working at a boutique downtown and it has def been inspiring me to get back into fashion which I definitely have been slacking on before, late nights at uni resulted in the glamorous outfits of yoga pants and hoodies all year long so I need to get back into it. I bought this skirt a couple of years ago at H&M and never wore it since I didn't really like long skirts. I was going to give it away but thankfully I didnt since I really love wearing it now that I am a bit older. My boyfriend got me this gorgeous necklace although I may have helped pick it out lol. It was a old  travellers medallion, so its supposed to bring good luck on the wearers travels, I always like when things have a story behind them so I just love it :). I hope everyone had a great day, it has been such gorgeous weather here in Ontario lately I am going to go outside and enjoy the sunshine!!

Hey everyone!!! I know I have been super MIA, I haven't looked at my blogger feed in forever!!! I am so far behind, I dunno my heart just hasn't been into blogging and I cannot get my photoshop to work yet :(. But recently I made a Pinterest account and have found so many inspiring photos there!!! So I thought I would do a inspiration post like I used to do last summer and clearly I am still very into denim. I love doing this kinds of posts so expect some more in the future, I hope everyone has been having a great summer so far :).

This is my absolute favourite eye look at the moment!! I am seriously so in love with bright blue/teal/seafoam green colours they just look so awesome and summery. Sorry for the lack of posts I have been having some rather large personal problems, I moved apartments and there has been issues. Anyways I need to get that all sorted but yesterday I was stoked to find my camera in some boxes and took some photos before I met my friend to go shopping downtown. I sent in a order to Elf a while back to get some things I had used up, so of course I ended up trying a few new things. The Loose Powder is fantastic, it doesn't make me break out and controls my oily skin fairly well. The Acne Fighting Foundation on the other hand was a disaster for me. My skin looks so good in these photos but it made me breakout all over my face after a couple hours, it had wonderful coverage though so I am quite disappointed it didn't work for me, bloody sensitive skin!! I have pictures of the outfit I wore yesterday as well but my photoshop has quit working so my personal tech support (the boyfriend lol) is working on a solution so hopefully those will be up soon!! Have a great day everyone :).

I totally feel like I am getting back into my blogger groove!!! I have a bunch of posts lined up and today I am going to go sit out on the front porch of my apartment and reply to comments :). I went out to a bar with my boyfriend last night so I thought I would take another crack at a FOTN (face of the night) post,  it definitely was a lot easier when he took the photos for me!!. Please ignore my manky eyebrows I think I am going to go get them threaded since I cannot seem to pluck them very well. I don't know about you ladies but whenever I go out I always do the exact same makeup, a gold/bronze smokey eye and thats it. I bought this Maybelline Colour Tattoo about a month ago and I just love the teal/green colour its gorgeous!!!! So I thought I would do something a little different for me and put it underneath the lower lash line which I freaking LOVE, it just makes my blue/grey eyes pop out.  I definitely want to get some more of the Colour Tattoos, they are great. I have been trying out a new bronzer from Annabelle and so far I love it even more than my NYC Sunny bronzer which I didn't think was possible, there will be a review up on that product soon. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

Review: Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara

Sleepsong by Bastille on Grooveshark

      Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara $2.99 on Beautyjoint

I showed this mascara in my last makeup haul and I finally used up two of the other mascaras I had open a couple of weeks ago so I could use this bad boy. I first heard about this on youtube from LaurenBeauty and for three bucks I figured it was definitely worth a try next time I sent in a order to Beautyjoint or Cherry Culture!! I am a huge believer in have a good mascara, if I am late for class or having a lazy day I will put quickly put some on and its just such a huge change. Mascara was the first makeup product I ever bought for myself when I was thirteen years old so throughout the years I have tried a few different kinds. This mascara is awesome, no doubt about it and I was pretty skeptical when I pulled out the wand since it doesn't look like anything special. Before I always used to layer about three mascaras together to get my lashes to look the way I wanted but all I do now is put this on over my Elf Mascara primer which is fantastic (review here) then boom, huge lashes. Its pretty wet but I dont end up getting to much on my eyelids which is a huge bonus since I am super clumsy when it comes to that. My only con is there isn't a waterproof version which I would like, I wear contacts and my eyes are always dry so I have to use drops or my eyes tear up a bit and then my mascara starts to smudge. To fix this I like to run a bit of a waterproof mascara over the Jordana Great Lash to seal it in just in case!! This is a great mascara it beats all of the Maybelline, Covergirl and Rimmel ones I have tried so far. I am such a big fan of Jordana products, I know they are super cheap in the U.S and we don't get them here in Canada but so far everything I have tried has been wonderful. Have a great day everyone!!

Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young And Beautiful

Jacket: Thrift $8, Purse: Forever 21 $7, Scarf: Stitches $5, Shirt: Old Navy $5, Leggings Stiches $9, Doc Martens: $130

Hello everyone!!!! I actually took these photos on my blackberry or well my boyfriend did but I don't think they turned out to bad although we are still having framing issues (lol). My camera is going to be fixed on tuesday and I am SO excited to get it back and start blogging regularly. I have been shopping and have some awesome outfits to post and lots of makeup favourites :). I recently bought this scarf and I have been so in love with it, the second I saw it in the store I knew I had to get it. The skull print sold me on it, it totally reminds me of the stuff I used to wear when I was going through my all black clothing phase. I got the jacket earlier this year, my old black one which I LOVED got stolen at a club (tear) so I have been wearing this as a replacement. After school ended I went on a bit of shopping spree and I got two of the same shirt in different colours from the Old Navy Clearance section for five dollars each, the other one is in this pretty coral colour. I picked them up in a large since they are awesome oversized shirts to wear with leggings on lazy days while still looking cute. Although you cant see it here there is a little chest pocket and they go a bit off the shoulder. The weather here has been crazy, it was so hot last week everyone was in shorts and now its snowing out as I type this, so weird!! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
