A Tribute

If you're willing to make the splurge on the YSL Tribute Sandals, you'll be looking at spending around $760.00. However, there is more budget friendly option below for you frugal fashionistas...

Looking for a cheaper option? Here's Forever 21's Glossy T-Strap Pump. Looks awfully familiar, right? Price: $27.80

The City of the Pretty

1. The girls of The City sure like their dresses. Glitzy, glamorous, and with a short hem line, too! Nevertheless, the girls pull it off with California flare. I especially love Audrina's rose coloured sequin number!

2. Okay, although the girls look great here, I can't help but think of a ladybug when I see Whitney's dress. I love how she paired it with opaque black tights and black boots though - the dark combination makes her already long legs look like they go on forever, and Lauren looks like a Greek goddess! Plus: Great shoes all around!

3. Think pink! Whitney's hot pink dress and smokey eye makes her look like a blonde bombshell! I love the ruffles on the front of Lauren's dress as well, and Audrina, are you wearing the same shoes as in picture two? Regardless! I would love a pair of gold heels like that.

4. Front row at the show, of course! From floaty to maxi to strapless and... Brody? The girls opt for stylish options no matter where they go, and of course they would for a fashion show! My favourite of this picture: Whitney's feminine and fluttery dress. Yeah, I'm team Whitney.


I'm also team CANADA! I'm sitting on the couch scouring fashion blogs while the Canadian Jr. game plays in the background. My mom's Facebook status (it's becoming the norm these days for parents to have Facebook. Apparently my dad is out of the loop): "The house has hockey fever!"

Have a fabulous night everyone! I'm debating whether I should jam on the gym tonight due to a headache, but I'm sure I will feel a lot better if I JUST DO IT and go to bed early! In addition, I was called into work tomorrow for a 12:30 start - YES, I can sleep in and hopefully sleep off this cold that is plaguing me!

Aah tea time! I need all the liquid I can get!

Bisous!

Book Review: Style by Lauren Conrad

I first purchased this book with the idea of glancing through it every so often. However, I ended up finishing it about three days later.

What I liked:

- The layout of the book was fantastic! I liked how it was divided into sections (beauty, hair, accessories, etc).
- Easy to read. She was professional, but not confusing in her words. You could understand everything she was saying so easily, and she put a bit of humour into it as well.
- The CONTENT! LC provided travel tips (and lists of what to pack on certain trips (or her take on these lists anyway)) and strategic packing tips to make the most out of your wardrobe (and the space you have to haul it on vacation). I especially liked the "One Little Black Dress, Five Ways" section, and also the one on events & parties.
- The whole book!

What I didn't like:

....Nothing!


I highly recommend this book! Everything as super helpful, and it's exactly what I was looking for in a book about personal style. LC talks about building your wardrobe and the key pieces to build upon, how to make vintage and modern pieces, mixing patterns and how to incorporate accessories with certain outfits. And so much more!

Check it out guys! I know you will enjoy it just as much as I did :) I will for sure be reading this again!

Hope you all had a good day! I went job hunting this morning and dropped my resume off at some restaurants. I'm hoping to find a serving job, or at least hosting. I just need more money & I hope something comes up!

Happy Tuesday!

What Did YOU Wear Today?

I went shopping again today, this time with my sister and my mom. My sister's friend Rachel came along, and the two of them are OBSESSED with the book store Chapters. However, lucky for me - I found two of the books I had been wanting forever!


If any of you are near The Body Shop, these shampoos/conditioners smell like HEAVEN, and they are only $3.00 each! I imagine it's only for a short amount of time, but all their "basic" items (or they're from a certain line. I'm not too sure actually!) and it includes some men's products, lotions, body washes, and a carrot face moisturizer. I opted for these since I have been eyeing them up forever! Anyway, enough rambling here...


I bought this necklace at a home accessory party I hosted at my house before Christmas, and the turtle is making it's debut today for my shopping trip! I'm still wearing it now as I'm bundled up on the couch watching the news with my parents (cool, hey?).


Finally, this was my outfit for the day! I'm wearing the same skinny jeans (by Pashu) as yesterday, but with a black v-neck sweater (it has a gold zipper that goes down to my shoulder blades on the back) from Costablanca, the turtle necklace (SheShe accessories), and black suede boots.

I hope you all had a magnificent day!

Love, Holly )
