Being A Hermit.. For A Week(ish)

I'm gonna be a bit MIA for the next week. It's the final push for me this week at school so I'm gonna have to be a hermit (like my cat, see picture hehe) and not leave my house except on Tuesday and Thursday to go to school. Not exciting! I probably won't update until Thursday night, hopefully with OOTD's from Tuesday/Thursday and possibly a recent purchase.

Don't ask me how I got into this mess. You'll find out if it's humanely possible to do this all December 5!

Canadian Black Friday Shopping / OOTD

I ended up at Metrotown today with my boyfriend so he could sell a shirt to someone. The guy was almost an hour late so we ended up walking around to kill time.. Bad idea (especially with my credit card already hating me). Quite a few places were have Black Friday specials but meh, nothing I needed to have. PLEN+Y's sale was pretty good with 20-50% off everything depending on the brand.  Ended up getting a few things.

From PLEN+Y

L: Monk & Lou Fineslub Rosie Long Sleeve in Tan ($39.00 after 25% off)
R: Monk & Lou Fineslub Fern  Long Sleeve in Taupe ($36.75 after 25% off)

BF picked up an Adidas Originals Track Jacket ($32 after 50% off) and an Adidas Originals T-shirt ($13 after 50% off)


From LUSH Cosmetics:

After reading Donna's blog and seeing her rave about Lush's Fresh Farmacy Face Soap I decided I needed to try it. My skin is prone to breakouts, especially at this time of the year during exams/end of the semester type stuff so hopefully this will be good to my skin like it was to hers!
The product is sold by weight which you choose so if you're looking to try this out it you can pick up a small amount. 

And finally, here's what I wore today:

Cardigan || Forever 21

Top || Forever 21

OOTD

What I'm Wearing:
Jeggings || American Eagle
Wool Sweater || H&M
Top || Talula
Bag (Rebecca Minkoff)

I changed shoes as well:
Inside my house I'm wearing Nude Pumps (Forever 21)
Outside I'm wearing Crochet Flats (Aldo). I'm also carrying a printed umbrealla by Izod

Faux Leather Leggings

I have no idea if I can pull these off but for $15 I figured I might as well try.

I really like how it makes a black outfit brighten up and will probably wear it with a black blazer and some sort of white/taupe/beige colored top underneath, similar to the image below.

For now I'll pair it with items actually in my closet:
Faux Leather Leggings by American Eagle 77 Kids
Black Blazer by Forever 21
Some sort of shirt from where ever
Black Jumbo Caviar Flap w/ Silver Hardware by Chanel 
OR Black Mini MAC w/ Gold Hardware by Rebecca Minkoff

DIY French Manicure

Excuse my ugly fingers, I have eczema.


I gave myself a French manicure last Thursday in preparation for clubbing.  My nails are a little bit chipped on the end from working but overall they're holding up pretty well considering my job screams "you can't have nice nails ANDDD work here." I did the white tips free hand (takes some practice!) and added glitter at the base of the tips. The glitter polish was a bit annoying to apply so that a good amount of glitter was on every single nail. Also I didn't do a nice arch that followed the white tip as you can see. I just used the regular brush that comes with the polish, no special tools involved. After this I applied stick on nail art on my ring fingers and thumbs. Too much bling looks tacky with the glitter. I'm not wearing a top coat (ghetto me, I don't have one lol) and am using clear nail polish on top.
