Boxing Day Shopping!

Hey everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging lately! I've been really busy these past few weeks! I went Boxing Day shopping today with my sister, aunt and cousins and bought  a few things. We went to American Apparel and I bought 3 hair scrunchies for 10 dollars! What a steal! 
I had also purchased 3 pairs of fake eyelashes. They are quite crazy, but I really like them!
I plan on wearing a pair on New Years Eve!

I had some family over today as well and we had celebrated Christmas. It was good to see everyone again !

oh canada.

Hey,

Sorry we didn't get a chance to post anything yesterday, Larissa was flying and I have been busy studying for exams.

Todays photo challenge is a picture of something from where you live! Although I do and will always consider England as part of my home as that is where I am from and spent my childhood, being a Canadian is always fun!


This is me in my Toronto Blue Jays cap, supporting my home team the jays!

Where are you guys from? Any interesting places?

Black and White

Hey everyone!
I recently bought a dress from Asos that has gold sequins on it. It finally came in the mail today! It has a high neckline and closed back!

I come back home tomorrow! I cannot believe it! I can't wait to see everyone!

black and white

Black and white are the perfect colour for basics and staples in the closet as they never date and can be matched with endless outfit combinations 

Cupcakes and Cashmere shows off her whites in the latest winter whites trend. Playing with basics to create a simple look that can be taken from day to night. 


Check out LC blog for tips on how to wear the 'winter whites' for any occasion. 

These classic outfits are a fun way to mix up the black on black for winter. Keeping those layers for the cold months. 


Are you going to try the white this season?

Something I held today was my phone! I know nothing too interesting. Today was the last day of classes for me for 2012, it is crazy to think how fast the past 3 months has gone by. Larissa and I are both almost done our first semester of university, time sure flys by!
