Back to School Wish List | Pt. 2



I know in part 1 of my Back to School Wish List series I said part 2 would be more "school oriented" but then... I got caught up in clothing. I know I'm not the first, and I know I won't be the last. We ladies love our fashion! So if you haven't read lately, I am off to teachers college come September (well I'm not really going anywhere but that just sounds better). I'm going to need some cute and professional clothing so I'm gearing up for a huge shopping spree (honestly is there anything better than having a legitimate reason to spend tons of money on new clothes!?). Obviously I will need way more pieces, and I won't be wearing jeans to teach, but I've been wanting to get a cute boyfriend pair of boyfriend jeans for awhile now. Also, how adorable are those shoes?! I am in love with both of them and think they are perfect for fall (as long as it's not a super cold fall). And obviously the GPS doesn't really fit but... I'm directionally challenged and I will be driving to conferences in other cities and will need something to help me find my way around!!!

  1. Woman's Plus Size Moto Jacket
  2. Printed Skirt
  3. Textured Skirt
  4. Twill Midi Skirt
  5. Garmin NĂ¼vi 2597LMT GPS
  6. Yoke Blouse
  7. Destructed Boyfriend Skinny Jean
  8. Lina Buckle Ankle Boot
  9. Lumiere Two Piece Flats
I know the majority of things are from Target but I chose to primarily select from their website because I know the prices are reasonable and most clothes are available to both Canadians and Americans! This post was not sponsored by Target or any other brand.

Back to School Wish List | Pt. 1

So I was on my blog with my cousin the other day and she pointed out that I haven't done a wish list post in quite awhile, and the majority of things on my wish lists were super expensive never-gonna-happen things. So with school just around the corner ew I thought I could do  Back to School Wishlist! Now of course these items aren't necessarily necessary (see what I did there) for school, but if I'm to put up with long classes and essays I want some items that will bring some joy into my life!!! So without further delay I give you part 1 of my BTS wish list!

From Left to Right:
I have extremely dry skin and the second anyone whispers the word Winter or Fall my skin automatically dries up. Plus I am not perfect (whoops, sorry to spoil that allusion) and during school sometimes I tend to neglect my skin so I feel like this mask would really work wonders for me!

I have been eyeing this baby for quite some time now, but the only store that sells it is around an hour away from me. And every time I go there I get stuck in blizzards and/ or torrential downpours, so honestly it has to be really worth risking my life. Which obviously this palette is worthy of. I know one of my favourite beauty YouTubers Casey Holmes has been raving about this beauty so I'd love to have it and try some different looks for back to school!

So... This is super duper random, but if you follow me on instagram (which you totally should my button is right over there see, to the right to the right) then you probably know by now that I am finally getting a beautiful Jetta for back to school, well, not FOR back to school but I need it to travel to my co-op this year. Anyways, I think this cover for the key is so adorable! It's only like $3 but I've been too lazy to buy it yet.

Okay, honestly I don't even know why I want this. Because I never ever contour my face. Infact the entire bottom row of bronzers/ contours are probably a bajillion times too dark for my skin colour. But, it looks so pretty and everyone whose anyone has one and I just want that damn Banana colour ok!? Jeeze!

Obviously not a 100% authentic replica, but it's pretty close! And I really need a new back to school bag, but I don't want to spend $100 or more on a real leather replica bag. I think this is a very classy bag that will be great for carrying my Mac to class, as well as for when I am actually in the classroom teaching!!

This is definitely one of those items on my wish list that I know I will give into. I actually really need a good set of brushes. My Sonia Kashuk ones have been really good and for $30 I am so impressed, but the handles are starting to chip and the quality isn't great/ up to par with the makeup products that I own. I am so surprised by how inexpensive these Zoeva brushes are and shipping to Canada is really cheap! I was going to order some Sigma brushes for my birthday in October but then they jacked up the prices and I thought no way Jose!!! I will not spend that much money on makeup brushes when there are obviously other options!!


In part 2 I will actually include some products that have a bit more to do with the actual school part of going back to school, as well as some cute fall clothes! What are some things you've been eyeing for back to school/ fall?! Let me know in the comments so I can swoon over them and possibly add them to my list ;)

Spring Wish List!

Well spring has sprung! How cliche of me. But really, it's been a really cold and long Canadian winter. So naturally, once the weather reached the positives (or low twenties for you Americans) my mind wandered into spring mode. If you haven't heard yet, pastels are the colour/ trend of the season. I've always loved pastels because I believe yo can be as wild or as subtle with them as you want. 

You can do a single accessory or clothing item, or play it up and do multiple pieces. 
Has anyone else been on the hunt for cute spring boots like this?? I can't seem to find anything similar to these anywhere and they're all sold out on their website. Any ideas or suggestions for something similar would be appreciated.

Bags, bags, bags. I love a good spring bag. These are both knockoffs of two Celine bags. I have such expensive taste but poor budget. So I scoured the internet and found these amazing replicas. Now I know some people are uber against "knockoffs" but I never try selling it as something that it's not. I have purchased from these sellers before and they are high quality bags! I will list below all products and where you can buy them! So that's what I've been loving/ lusting over this spring! What have you been eyeing??

From Top left Over and Down.
1. Boots from Wallis
2. Pink Celine Bag
3. Urban Decay Electric Palatte
4. Revlon Nail Polish in Charming
5. Bauble Bar Necklace
6. Bloom Candle from Bath and Body Works
7. Mint Skirt from H&M
8. Celine Bag
