I LOVED my outfit for Toronto Fashion Week courtesy of the Oshawa Centre!
Too see the whole look, and how you can shop it yourself, head over to the OC blog here!
A Bright Floral Backpack
Jean Jacket – H&M | Peasant Top – Winners | Jeans – Paradise Mine Aritzia | Boots – Call it Spring | Back Pack – Winners
It’s my second time this week wearing white jeans on the blog, and that’s pretty much all you will see me in for the next couple months.
I love white jeans because they not only go with everything, but I am so sick of wearing winter colours. These one’s from Aritzia are extra stretchy which is great for when you ask for that extra order of guacamole and chips with dinner.
The main pop of colour to this look is this really fun floral backpack I picked up at Winners. I love the colours, and the backpack trend has been an easy one for me to catch onto since I carry about a gazillion things with a toddler running around.
Do you know what isn’t toddler friendly now that I mention it? White jeans! As much as I love them (I’m talking about the jeans, but obviously I love the toddler as well!) these jeans are difficult to wear around children and I normally finish off the day with a messy handprint or shoe print on them. I keep bleach in the laundry room on standby.
I’ve linked to some other fun floral backpacks below as well. Happy shopping!
Review of Cargo Cosmetics Eyebrow Pencil and Brow Kit
I never really knew how important my eyebrows were until I actually grew them!
I had been over plucking my eyebrows my whole life and I really had no idea. Now that I have grown them out, I am slightly obsessed with grooming them.
I have added a few new brow essentials to my makeup bag from Cargo Cosmetics, and they have helped to keep my brow game strong.
First of all I’m kind of in love with the packaging Cargo Cosmetic’s uses. Each piece of makeup has a different black and white watercolour scene of different cities of the world.
I was a girl who didn’t even own an eyebrow pencil until last year, and now I can’t go a day without using one.
The Medium coloured Cargo Eye Brow Pencil was the perfect matching shade for my own brows, and it only needed a light stroke for it to fill in my brows. The pencil is longer than most so I expect it to last a very long time.
The Brow How Brow Defining Kit comes in three different colour combinations, and it included a small compartment with an application brush.
The kit includes a power which fills in and helps define brows, and also a tinted wax which is perfect for setting your brows so they stay put. The wax was amazing and did a great job of setting my brows for the day.
I also got a chance to try out Cargo’s Essential Lip Gloss in Madrid, and the colour had a hint of sparkle, and the gloss had a really moisturizing finish to it.
Thanks to Fashion Weekly Magazine for sending me these lovely Cargo products!
Suede Fringe Jacket
Suede Jacket – Pink Blush | Jeans – American Eagle Outfitters | T-Shirt – Bluenotes | Shoes – Winners | Sunglasses – Dior
This spring I have seen a few great suede fringed jackets in magazines and out in the real world, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one! I am so in love with this one from Pink Blush, which has become one of my favourite places to shop online. Everything seems to be my style on their website.
I really am a t-shirt and jeans kind of gal, so having a great jacket to throw on to add bit of style to my simple outfit is perfect for spring.
I’m in love with these flats I found from Winners last week. They lace up around the ankles as well so I can’t wait to wear them with a cute dress in the summer!
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
Review of Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Hand Cream
I started out this winter thinking that my skin was much less dry then in past seasons, but then the ACTUAL winter weather came, and my skin has been a mess.
My hands have been especially dry because I haven’t been taking the best care of them. I’m also on 24/7 mom-duty so I’m constantly doing dishes, washing toddler hands (because he hasn’t grasped the concept that germs are gross yet), and when I need a quick fix of hand cream I normally reach for something that smells good and doesn’t promise anything beyond a moment of hydration and a bit of scent.
I can honestly say that Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is different than any other hand cream I have ever tried. I have never experienced this kind of instant hydration. I had a moment of beauty-geek excitedness, yelling to the only other adult home (my hubby) that he needed to try this stuff right away!
It has a gel-like consistency, but once you rub it in it seems to seep into every crevice of your hands and you are instantly moisturized. I seriously want to stand on a street corner and squeeze this stuff into the palms of strangers so they can see how hydrating this cream really is!
It’s dermatologist tested, and claims to provide 17-hour hydration for rough, dry hands, which I believe this to be true.
The packaging is simple, and it comes in a great 50ml tube which you can easily throw into your purse and go. The hand cream is unscented, and it really does have lasting effects. Once applied I didn’t feel like my hands were greasy at all. I found that even after I washed and dried my hands (which is usually a trigger for my hands to dry out) that they were less dry then usual since using the cream.
This hand cream works! The price is very affordable at only $6.99 CDN, especially considering how amazing this cream is.
Dry hands? Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream is a must-try. You can purchase it at most national food, drug, and mass merchandisers.
