Omgomg it’s my birthday. It’s finally here!

I think my birthday and Christmas are my favorite times of the year. Probably because I get presents on both of those days. But you know what? Today isn’t going to be just about me. Sure it’s my Birthday but I as I stated a few weeks ago, I wanted to share my birthday love with all of you guys out there!

I’ve been busy the past month, talking with my favorite companies and brands out there and they’ve donated so many wonderful things for you guys. I am so very appreciative of my loyal readers, people who leave sweet comments and of course, my lurker friends.

So, I’m giving back today. I’m giving you all a chance to win something! Not to each and every one of you because I have only a limited amount of things to give! But you know how it goes. Let’s get right into it because hello that is the most fun part of this post, right?

Look at all the goodies you can choose from!

Accessorizing your outfits

No Comments

Having arm candy or necklaces can really spruce up an otherwise boring outfit. 

You can easily look put together wearing a great pair of fitted, dark wash jeans with a plain white v-neck top.You just have to accessorize those outfits of yours! It’s fun to get creative with it all.

While I do like the look of bracelets, bangles and jewelry on my wrists, I get annoyed with them banging around if they’re too big. As I pointed out previously, I have abnormally small wrists so a lot of bracelets are bulky on me and tend to not be secure and tight.

I’ve done my research and purchased customizable sized items so it doesn’t feel too big on my arm. For instance:

  1. Hello Berry bracelets (my HelloBerry review) are custom-made for your own arm. HelloBerry is sold on Etsy and they’re located not too far from me, in Toronto, Canada! When you’re purchasing which ever bracelets you wan, you just measure your wrist and tell them the size in the form. These bracelets do not have a clasp, they slide right over your hand and fit on that way. Sooo fun. I’m loving gold lately.
  2. Fossil Watches are another nice statement piece. You can create so many different looks by paring your watches up with bracelets and bangles. The watch I am wearing above, is a Fossil Stella watch in White Resin. I own the black version of it as well (see online here). Fossil’s watches are so great because they have some really nice classic pieces, as well as trendy colorful one’s as well, like rose gold or a nice teal blue. I’m thinking of getting a third watch from Fossil. I have one picked out already but I don’t want to show you unless I actually get it.
  3. Inexpensive elastic-like bracelets from Ardene.
  4. Cute statement or simple rings.

I also love incorporating scarves, cute handbags and shoes. I LOVE shoes, but I am so picky with them.

My outfit of the work week! I watched the forecast for the week and paired my clothes accordingly. I also ended up doing a bit of shopping at Old Navy on Tuesday and picked up a few clearance items for a great price. I wore one of the tank tops climbing with Stephanie on Wednesday evening (photos to come!) and there was this super neon plum colored burn-out tee that I will wear next week :)

Also since it is my birth month, I ended up getting my license sticker renewed. I hope I have the whole month to do it, because I filled it out all online yesterday. 5 business days til it gets here? Hopefully there aren’t any errors and omissions insurance on my form.

Ooo! More news:

If anyone is in, or near the Toronto Eaton Centre tomorrow (Saturday May 5, 2012) be sure to pop into Sephora as Make Up For Ever has an event going on.  MAKE UP FOR EVER is hosting a Vintage Lip Photobooth event. They will be offering clients complimentary lip touch ups and an opportunity to have their picture taken in the vintage photo booth that will be in store that day! How fun would that be? Conveniently enough I will be in Toronto tomorrow as my boyfriend surprised me with tickets to the AGO to see Picasso’s 147 paintings!! AGH!!!
