Trends I've Fallen For

I live in Vancouver, it's practically hipsters everywhere. Once one person starts wearing/doing a thing, everyone follows! And sometimes I can't help it...some things are just too pretty to pass up.
Here are some things that I've fallen for lately but I'm probably too cool to admit.  Get the pun? It's almost fall since school starts for many people..hence why I've fallen for these things. I'm lame okay?

First up are flowy shorts!! You've seen these on young teenaged girls and probably others but these are both comfy and cute. You look like you tried but you're pretty much wearing sweatpants. Does it get better? Nahh.
Birkenstocks...not really a trend since it's not new but I've recently rediscovered them and they're on everyone's feet! Comfy and cute..I'm noticing a theme here.
My next favourite trend is single strap sandals. I've mostly been seeing these on blogs than in real life but I'm in shoe envy! They are so chic and go with everything. It rains a lot here so I don't know if I want to invest in a nice pair but these are definitely on my wish list! 
Pretty much floral is my favourite print evarr and kimonos are an essential! Especially from transition for summer into fall, kimonos are going to be great for those days where I'm not sure if it's warm but still wanna be prepared.  
Next I just have a picture of Vanessa Hudgens because she is my style queen and I love her! Have you seen her Coachella outfits? I'm constantly in envy of this woman.
Overalls are just great overall. That was lame. But seriously. Once again, old but new.
I feel like I'm gonna need a nice wool floppy hat for my fall wardrobe. Currently on the hunt. Forever21 seems to have some decently priced ones but I have quite a big head so this will be tricky.
Last but not least, open toed/heel boots! Or are they sandals? Whatever they are I want some!! I thought they were kind of odd and ugly at first but I've really come to like them a lot!

Back

Hey guys! I have been MIA lately and I'm really sorry for that but mainly I've been busy with personal things. I got back from summer camp a couple of weeks ago, my family has been looking for a new car since our old one got totaled, and just some other stuff I've been doing like back to school shopping(mostly clothes though aha).

I am looking for more inspiration and creative posts to write but in the meantime I won't have too much stuff to blog about.  I have a couple of reviews in mind such as the Schick Intuition razor I got to sample, as well as a memebox that should be coming in soon.

In the meantime, happy summer! Stay hydrated. :)

Wants

Here are some of the things I've been eyeing the past month and plan to get soon. Of course the beauty products are really nothing new but I haven't had the time/money to get them yet.  Happy summer guys!

Free makeup from MEMEBOX

Memebox is an online company that sells 4 or more Korean beauty products in boxes(almost like a subscription), as well as cosmetics from Korea.  There are makeup items such as BB cream, mascara, lipsticks, eyeshadow and such on the website.  You can get free cosmetics through this website.  Here's how:

If you sign up  you automatically get 10 memepoints(equivalent to $10 USD) which you can spend on their products. 

UPDATE: use code TRYMEMEBOX for $15 off your purchase. Enjoy!

 If you then use the discount code MEMEBOXKIIP you get another $7 off your purchase, which you would otherwise have to spend on shipping.  This expires in the end of June. You can get makeup at absolutely no cost! 

If you have any questions leave a comment below I'll try to answer it as best as I can.  I haven't tried this yet but I will soon when I find something that I like. Good luck!

Some Summer Things

Hey guys!! Sorry I've been MIA lately, I've been busy with exams(mainly procastinating) and stuff for school.  I tried thinking of blog post ideas but mostly just got lazy and ended up watching more TV.

On the other hand I won't be posting much during the summer either since I'll be away for most of it.  Here are some things I picked up at Superstore today!

I picked up the Garnier Pure Long-lasting shine control moisturizer since I have get really oily on my nose, especially during warm weather.  It was $9.99 and I really hope it works since I don't want to be a grease ball during the summer months.  The packaging is also super cute with this nice light blue.

The next ting I got was Dove's visibly smooth antiperspirant/deodorant in wild rose scent. I know antiperspirants aren't the best for the body since they stop you from sweating however most deodorants nowadays advertise as antiperspirant so it's almost inavoidable. This was about $3.48.

The last thing I got was sunscreen; I had originally bought sunscreen for the summertime already but apparently you can't bring aerosol spray sunscreens on airplanes so I bought this as a back up.  It was the cheapest sunscreen I could find, $4.97 and I chose it in SPF60, the highest of the choices.  They had SPF15, 30, and 60.  I swatched it on my hand to see if it was greasy and surprisingly it isn't and doesn't have a strong sunscreen scent either.  I'm pleasantly surprised!

Ingredients of Style

A couple weeks ago I won a giveaway hosted by http://www.IngredientsofStyle.com/, which is a wonderful blog by Louise that explains the science behind beauty products and cosmetics.

For example, if you've ever wondered why silicone is in so many hair products and skin products that we use everyday, those questions are answered on her blog.  Sometimes the ingredients in what we put on ourselves are dismissed, but many of them can be damaging or have long term effects on our bodies.  Good thing there is more knowledge on these type of things nowadays, thanks to blogs like Ingredients of Style.

I received quite a handful of things! I'm really excited to try all this stuff out, especially the Lip Elixir which I don't think is sold where I live.  Look how pretty the lip gloss is as well! I've been wanting to try the Maybelline BB Creams as well and since I have 2 shades I can mix them once I get darker in the summer.  I was also sent a $25 gift card to J.Crew, hello spring clothes!!

Thank you so much Louise, I'm super grateful and happy that I won your giveaway.  Check out her blog as well as her twitter if you have any questions on makeup products!
