It's been ages

So i took a suuuuuuuuuuper extended sabbatical from this blog and if any of you are still out there....how's it been?

All i can say about how I've been is that university has this funny way of being both exciting and utterly cringe-worthy at the same time.

In the meantime, i'll refrain from any golden globes business and just throw this shot out there; I love fall fashion and i can never get enough of chunky knits and fall shorts

Hope all is well, lovelies

Just because i'm here

Summer is definitely here, judging by the crazy high temperatures of late.

Let's go outside and enjoy it, but to an extent: Sunscreen it up. We are all susceptible to the sun's damaging effects. And for those of you nay-sayers who complain endlessly about oily, smelly sunscreen, check out a brand called La Roche-Posay. Their sunscreen is absolute perfection and good for those of us with sensitive skin as well. Not entirely sure how accessible it is outside Canada, but use your googling skills to find out! Worth it, I promise.

So i sort of compiled what you guys asked for, in a list of expensive finds vs cheap finds! Don't go looking for similarities between them necessarily....for many, I only went by category. So if you're looking to spend more, here's a purse you can get, and if you're looking to spend less, here's a purse....etc etc. Some suggestions for a summer wishlist were a bit too out of season, but I tried to take as many as possible!

Purses

$795, Alexander Wang

$39, Forever 21

Heels

$750, Sergio Rossi

$100, Aldo

Sandals

$245, Joie

$24, Forever 21

Rompers

$345, Rag & Bone

$35, Forever 21

Summer dresses

$695, Phillip Lim

$62, NastyGal

Wedges

$525, Alexander Wang

$132, Jeffrey Campbell

Don't worry....I'll be getting all summery on you guys before you know it.

Probs get to your lovely comments tonight or tomorrow in between studying and procrastinating :)

Anybody got any summer items they're DYING to have? I'll cover that in my next post hopefully. Lemme know of some categories you might want me to talk about?  Its ok if you suggest Ryan Gosling in your confusion, i can't get him off my mind either.

Charlott Vasberg

Chloe

Frye

J Brand

Jonathan Saunders

That new, new

Experimenting with different blog layouts...and i abbreviated my blog title. Out with the old?

First off I want to mention http://www.jewelryartdesigns.com/
I was gifted this ring and I can honestly say I have been wearing it every single day since it arrived in the mail. I love rings and I am overly picky when it comes to finding ones I can wear day in and day out so I was so glad to receive this one.  Simple, understated, and versatile.  Perfect for everyday wear.
Their real selling point in my mind however is that so much of the jewelry is really over-the-top in terms of colouring and design; there are a bunch of pieces I have seen on that site which would look really fun with simple outfits.  Examples include this bad boy and these .

Next item on today's agenda?


I tweeted about this awhile ago but I haven't put my twitter back so I figured you should all take a look at a dose of crazy; Acne, these are stupid hot.

And the winner of the straightening iron, chosen out of a hat (literally), is being emailed as we speak :)
Thanks to everyone who participated!

I'll hit up your blogs later tonight!
