Huge "Accessible Style" Fall Haul

So when it comes to shopping, I'm not your typical fashionista I might say. I find the biggest joy in finding pieces not from the top fashion designers but pieces that are on sale but are still great to style and your wallet is not crying over your shopping spree :) Here are some of the item I've purchased for autumn and you'll see that style isn't just for the ones with the big paycheck but for anyone with a passion for fashion and an eye for the cheapest buy (how poetic of me ;))

 Little red dress :) Summer collection, but just pair it with some boots and a jacket and you should be ok :) it even has a cute cutout on the back!

 Fall must-have 

 Reminds me so much of Canada so I just had to have it!

 Big shirts and sweaters are really big this fall so you can't miss with these two guys

 

Wasn't on sale, but since this is one of the N.1 trends for Fall 2013, I think it was a bargain

 Sooooo in love with these!!!

 Smells so good and the price is insane!

They say this is a blogger must-have so I had to have it :)

A year of inspiration

So since I consider September to be my "New Year" resolutions month, I have made some decisions about the year that is coming. I really want to change some things and most of all I want to live a little. So one of the changes I'm gonna make is becoming better at my new passion which is graphic design and photography. Its really sad that you find your true calling so late but the least you can do is put as much effort into becoming better at it as you can. Next thing is trying new things. I realized that you learn the most about yourself when you are faced with a new challenge and that is why i want to try as many new things as possible! Find a new passion, do something I've been afraid to do for a long time, say YES to more things and most of all, meet new people! You learn so much from new friends and they introduce you to so many new experiences and opportunities.

One of the most important things in my year of inspiration has to be traveling. I am so passionate about traveling but in connection to my anxiety problems find it hard sometimes. The amount of phicological preparation it takes me to get on a plane is insane! But I have some must have destinations i have to visit in the next year:
-Rome: even though I've been before and didn't like it, I want to go again and view it with different eyes.
-London: I've been like 8times but it's absolutely my favorite European city and I'm so in love with it that I'm seriously thinking about moving there.
-Milan: Fashion, fashion, fashion!!
-Bali and Gili: My boyfriends parents are thinking about moving there and Bali has been a must-have destination of mine for so long so it would be kind of stupid of me not to go :)
- Sweden or Norway: I've never been so that just seems reason enough :)


And the last thing i want to achieve is stop being afraid. Get over my anxiety and depression and realize that my life is in my hands. Even if you believe you're not on the right path, its in your hands or should I say feet :) to change that path. Although I talk a good talk, in reality I'm still not aware of this so it would be just super duper if I coud become aware of this im ny year of inspiration :)

So thats about it. Of course I want to continue to write my blog, gain more readers and maybe, just maybe inspire someone.

August Favorites

Ok, so September is here, saying goodbye to summer although I hope we still get to enjoy some "Hot summer days" in September too. I thought I'd do a monthly favorites for the fist time, just because it seems like a fun thing to do. So I'm gonna do it... And I can't wait... So here we go... :)

Favorite moment of the month?

- Just in general spending time with my friends, catching up and making plans for the future :)

Favorite book?

I've read so many books this summer but my favorite in August was The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. I loved it because it reminded me of my old job (same environment, same "healthy-food" obsessed people and the same feeling of having to work there for just a little longer! And of course the book is filled with fashion which is always a plus for me :)

Favorite movie?

- The Great Gatsby-yeah it was my favorite movie of August but I didn't really get to watch a lot of movies last month and in general Gatsby was a little bit disappointing. Maybe I was hyped about it too much since I heard so many good reviews but it was just a good movie, one that you don't think about after it's finished.

Favorite fashion find?

- So I've wanted this jacket ever since I saw it on Vanessa Paradise but they never had my size :( and then one time I walk into H&M and go to the SALE area (which is where I feel like home) and see this jacket, not in my size but still in a size that looks good on me :) and on sale!! My but was clpping with joy all the was to the cashier :)

 

Favorite make up or hair product?

- I bought the Pantene Aqua Light Nourishing Mask and I love it! It makes my hair soft and it smells amazing. Although I'm currently looking for something to really hydrate my hair since the sun and the sea have ruined the living daylights out of it :) Any suggestions??

Favorite Quote?

- "Whatever makes you feel bad, leave it. Whatever makes you smile, keep it."

**The Liebster award**

So something really wonderful happened :) I was actually nominated for the Liebster award by My Fair Lala I first of all I just have to say THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH :) It really means a lot to me since I'm a new blogger and this is such a good opportunity for new blogs to be acknowledged and meet other bloggers :)

The Leibster award is given out by fellow bloggers to help them connect and be blog friends, and is given to blogs with under 200 followers. You are nominated by another blogger, answer some of their questions (which is always fun) and then you get to nominate some other blogs that you find interesting and want other people to enjoy them! 


Rules: 

• Thank the lovely who nominated you by linking them back and shouting them out. 

• Answer the 11 questions your nominee has given to you.

• Pick 9-10 other bloggers with under 200 followers to nominate for the award and let them know about it by going to their blogs and telling them.

• Come up with 11 new questions to ask those who you nominate.

Here are the questions from My Fair Lala:

1) What is your favourite accessory? 

Definitely necklaces. I've fallen in love with them in the past year because I've realized that you can completely restyle a very dull outfit with the right necklace.

2) How would you describe your style in 5 words?

Chic, comfortable, girly, casual and "felingoftheday-ish" :)

3) Who is your favourite artist/band at the moment?

I've found so many cool bands recently that I'm madly in love with a few :) Love Emily and the Woods and Observer Drift, but also anything that is current and has a good beat :)

4) Whose style do you find inspirational?

I just generally like anyone that is visually in love with fashion. I love it when I browse other blogs and see a style combination that I would have never came up with myself! I personally love "accessible fashion" which means you can feel fashionable for a reasonable price. Not everybody is loaded with shopping money :)

5) What is your favourite colour lipstick?

Dark red and fuchsia pink

 

6) If could choose 1 make-up brand to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Going with the whole accessible style policy, I have to go with CATRICE. I love their products and adore their prices! 

 

7) If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?

On one hand I would be a seagull since I could just sore over the sea and watch the sunset every day. But on the other hand, I would also be a dog since I believe they are capable to love in a way even humans can't :)

8) What is your favourite thing about blogging?

Expression what I feel, getting to know a whole new community of bloggers and finally doing something I was too afraid to do for too long.

9) Which is your favourite blog to read?

This depends on the day I'm having. But I love just randomly browsing and landing on blogs I've never read before.

10) If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you like to go?

You can't expect me to name just one! Bali because of its beautiful beaches and sunsets, New York because I've always believed that is where I belong, Montreal because I want to revisit every place I loved as a child and India because I'm in desperate need of a cultural shock!

11) What is your best beauty tip?

Garnier BB cream.. love the living bits of this thing! :) 

My questions for the lovely bloggers:) :

1) Outfit you feel most beautiful in?

2) Worst beauty product you ever bought?

3) A place you've already traveled to and would go again in an instant?

4) Best piece of clothing?

5) If you could live in any part of history, what would it be?

6) Best song for Autumn?

7) Flats or heels?

8) Best book you ever read and why?

9) What made you smile recenty?

10) What makes you proud of yourself?

11) Your favorite quote?
