An outfit

Here's what I wore to get my braces off. (Yay! Brace-free!) I thrifted this cool zebra t-shirt last weekend for $2 and have been looking forward to showing it off.









T-shirt - thrifted
Skirt - thrifted/DIY
Shoes - Payless
Vintage turquoise pendant necklace - gifted


Along with the flowers on my skirt, there are some lovely ones blooming in front of my apartment building.

More floral!

I don't have tonnes to say about this outfit except that I'm glad I'm getting more comfortable showing off leg. The dress and purse are thrifted, the belt came with another dress from The Jean Queen, and the super worn out shoes are from Payless. The silver bangles are from Penningtons, the turquoise bangle is from Ten Thousand Villages, the button ring was made and gifted by my girlfriend, and the owl broach was given to me by my mom, who originally received it as a gift from my father.

Mad for Mint

Mmm, mint chocolate chip ice cream. My favourite!




I've finally jumped on the mint green nail polish trend. How could I not, when it's such a beautiful colour? I thought I'd take the opportunity to try out a new brand, and a whole new formula.




Sula is a brand based in Toronto that makes perfume, body wash, body lotion, butter balms, and nail colour. This is Sula Paint & Peel nail colour in "Haze." This formula contains no formaldehyde, toluene and phthalates. It doesn't have a harsh nail polish smell, and because you can peal it off you don't need to use nail polish remover. It's meant to be "make-up for your nails" which means you can change it up and reapply daily. However, you can add a top coat and it will last as long as normal nail polish. It comes in a beautiful selection of colours and I'm very happy with mine. I would highly suggest this for anyone who is looking to move away from harsh, toxic chemicals in their personal care products, those who want change up their nail colour every day or so, and those you want to support an independent Canadian brand. However, Sula nail colour would go to waste on someone who has a habit of picking at their nails and/or cuticles. I purchased it at The Plaid Giraffe in Edmonton, which is a small local boutique that carries jewellery, purses, and scarves. Here's a list of stores in Canada and the US that carry Sula. I bought mine for $10, and they are available on the Sula website for $9 US and ship to Canada and the US.

Happy (belated) Canada Day!

Tim Hortons: patriotism never tasted so good.



My girlfriend's guinea pigs frolicking in the grass. So cute it hurts a little.







Fireworks! I used my camera's fireworks setting and it provided an interesting effect. I imagine the camera would need to be super still and that you'd need to take the photo right when the fireworks go off (rather then when they are in the sky) to get the proper photo.
