So if you're planning for a trip, especially if you're headed to Italy, read on!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I find planning out my outfits fully in advance, for each activity (daytime and nighttime) just makes my life so much easier while travelling, because I'm not having to worry about figuring out what to wear, and I know I have all the accessories and pieces required for each outfit. I drafted a word doc of my outfits with the city and activity, along with inspiration photos and photos/list of all items required for each outfit. That way, I can take a quick glance on my phone and know exactly what look I'm going to wear and what I need to find in my suitcase. Of course, plans can change, and so of course sometimes I'll shuffle outfits around, but it's a good starting point.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Below is a peek at what my outfit planning word doc looked like, and then keep scrolling below to see each of the outfits I planned, along with actual photos from my trip!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHDoMi9ZFXcPRxfdrBuVTWfuyUEA0lueTf0QIa6TGYw2U7Ky-HmUuaL6PgvHd_Iv6fu-Vt8y5VBZXwfC2-T5cDFfeReOj9tOO3Jvf9d3fZH_813JlAZto41Bup0vo0it28rQDZHmktnLC3eJ6s-Gx123HTIe82xv9UQLuwloSGqGFselhnXuIHtjt3bLPV" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="444" data-original-width="968" height="294" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgHDoMi9ZFXcPRxfdrBuVTWfuyUEA0lueTf0QIa6TGYw2U7Ky-HmUuaL6PgvHd_Iv6fu-Vt8y5VBZXwfC2-T5cDFfeReOj9tOO3Jvf9d3fZH_813JlAZto41Bup0vo0it28rQDZHmktnLC3eJ6s-Gx123HTIe82xv9UQLuwloSGqGFselhnXuIHtjt3bLPV=w640-h294" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>What to Wear to: Vatican Museum in Rome</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJa0AoQNd8vPNot3cE4r9XoZli0l8HDsRtB0mVCPgroAqpU-VmtelIo6WXDeCsHyxapYi4f0rQ8DS2VczOKXxsH0ybCGyvgFvqSQx6_oJ1YFFTsMCIzFOX39PdP8RZs_1mJit2VyB1qmEsPi9mTFh3Xdt4Q45iti6SC1dBKRBcwk4SJa7vqgf4_IQwyhqk/s1050/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20(4).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="750" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJa0AoQNd8vPNot3cE4r9XoZli0l8HDsRtB0mVCPgroAqpU-VmtelIo6WXDeCsHyxapYi4f0rQ8DS2VczOKXxsH0ybCGyvgFvqSQx6_oJ1YFFTsMCIzFOX39PdP8RZs_1mJit2VyB1qmEsPi9mTFh3Xdt4Q45iti6SC1dBKRBcwk4SJa7vqgf4_IQwyhqk/w286-h400/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20(4).png" width="286" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi46HTc-kbLhR1aj6eJUhG_CDpgMsmvwP1OJBlQvDskgDlwAaF79F2hkgp_ONVCaaSMp_6edr1gtHr9sHmGxF_sfh1UTigGWnM7Rju3Ov4QXi08fzrh4Bzyfy1VP_fgiX4B1gzGh1gYBHeQoFg8-gcZqKiGqsFeFZV8yjDOzuhkLszIkODjCcs-4ZqcFXXK/s1050/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20copy%20(7).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="750" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi46HTc-kbLhR1aj6eJUhG_CDpgMsmvwP1OJBlQvDskgDlwAaF79F2hkgp_ONVCaaSMp_6edr1gtHr9sHmGxF_sfh1UTigGWnM7Rju3Ov4QXi08fzrh4Bzyfy1VP_fgiX4B1gzGh1gYBHeQoFg8-gcZqKiGqsFeFZV8yjDOzuhkLszIkODjCcs-4ZqcFXXK/w286-h400/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20copy%20(7).png" width="286" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Black & gold headband (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+zfWpjkzNQZrbmB9MF_1qyA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+ZlXvxiwhT98LhEQQmrmlGQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar</a>)<b> - </b></span><a href="https://rstyle.me/+S8D4EGQjkVwBaAjTq5CPug" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Black & gold cross earrings</a><span> - </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/+35vahvHXP87YRoWcokXOaQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Black long tiered square neck dress</a><span> </span><span>- Dark red lipstick - <a href="https://rstyle.me/+KDalWxL8t04AipKWaVxhoA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Black bow mules</a> - <a href="https://www.shopbentley.com/products/samantha-crossbody-bag?variant=41905068310686" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Riona black purse</a></span></span></p></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was probably more excited about this outfit than any other outfit on the trip.

I styled this dress with my LV BB bandeau tied as a bow around my neck for a day trip to Lucca, and in Rome, I switched up with this vintage Karl Lagerfeld scarf and just tied it loosely around my shoulders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><b>What to Wear to: Dinner Out in Rome</b><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2kpbjRf4QZ2nV-TXx3ve44ysdvcAA3aXKzYZplIwHvcPTVvRh7GUvIch5pngQKsOtPakZMBVSIu1LzEynx8Tbg_Fx7u9H13M2q_ESRvHp_GwAFORzz3KndZZREXQM261l0UAhBH8O9X4pEmgygdYDspOPGbT7zmwByLMFrYRRMXBn5yfXUetrysgtH2hS/s1050/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20(6).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="750" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2kpbjRf4QZ2nV-TXx3ve44ysdvcAA3aXKzYZplIwHvcPTVvRh7GUvIch5pngQKsOtPakZMBVSIu1LzEynx8Tbg_Fx7u9H13M2q_ESRvHp_GwAFORzz3KndZZREXQM261l0UAhBH8O9X4pEmgygdYDspOPGbT7zmwByLMFrYRRMXBn5yfXUetrysgtH2hS/w286-h400/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20(6).png" width="286" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4SIdgIkChcmht1fXIaMD8rL_mGEdl9cS7uH7pBkh7SpaE0PN2dgVyt9RZInMsdpdmown0Sabw2feNtAehAE6vVyDYmwu26tuUoofd2m2SaXbGyTYCf2MFqkfz-sKA2NP3Dn9Y-pAocu0LbvrzmpfAV37sh_WXNrpURB9uULKSG_fC3ppBK7fv73WyZk0y/s1050/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20copy%20(8).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1050" data-original-width="750" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4SIdgIkChcmht1fXIaMD8rL_mGEdl9cS7uH7pBkh7SpaE0PN2dgVyt9RZInMsdpdmown0Sabw2feNtAehAE6vVyDYmwu26tuUoofd2m2SaXbGyTYCf2MFqkfz-sKA2NP3Dn9Y-pAocu0LbvrzmpfAV37sh_WXNrpURB9uULKSG_fC3ppBK7fv73WyZk0y/w286-h400/2.5%20x%203.5%20in%20copy%20(8).png" width="286" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+_uYJlzrTfIovTILteunnDg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Baroque art print dress</a> - <a href="https://rstyle.me/+KNsZ1JcAlMQhQ3MsvRZNeQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Oversized cross necklace</a> - <a href="https://rstyle.me/+pxMAkai7_MxuxfLPtwEZ4w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Low black heels</a> - <a href="https://rstyle.me/+DwSpN-BxFEbErSaf3KEj3w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Black gold button blazer</a></span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This baroque-style painting dress was so great for a night out in Rome!

I've always found Chicwish's fall and winter pieces to be made of nice, thick materials that are particularly good for staying cozy (and chic) this time of year. Below is a breakdown of the top 6 pieces that I've already been wearing non-stop this season:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFTI5-Y7N2OOe_6-tbIbKMGQHrDt68fqEiRmSDKo6Mr8eJJyNY0blvqei9OQCn2Cl4flRK1WwGJTlQ5qHQ9q7-oLfQYOJp7-xDrZTVSNfsoC2PAcm55RjnegbOGL8ZsrrfOw3hYUZeAlHOJps6Zpy0Fk86s5BPFsi4y3GyQJOX4g1AC9Fol9glvIyoZg/s2400/8%20x%204%20in%20(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="2400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFTI5-Y7N2OOe_6-tbIbKMGQHrDt68fqEiRmSDKo6Mr8eJJyNY0blvqei9OQCn2Cl4flRK1WwGJTlQ5qHQ9q7-oLfQYOJp7-xDrZTVSNfsoC2PAcm55RjnegbOGL8ZsrrfOw3hYUZeAlHOJps6Zpy0Fk86s5BPFsi4y3GyQJOX4g1AC9Fol9glvIyoZg/s16000/8%20x%204%20in%20(1).png" width="675" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjrx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Statement Bow Sweater</a>, </span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjrs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Rustic Plaid Skirt</a>, </span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjs6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Spooky Sweater</a> (all c/o of <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2053969&u=3398231&m=31764&urllink=&afftrack=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chicwish</a>)</span></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcax1kJ7nHWLw9AZ494iwVBM22YK8n7FsGdHaQ0RRCgCN0tUD9BjkssIJRh3J5iP3f96xF_OU7Q9masAvPs_SBDUNSrPvlokWbRr1j5dSEbyHziTIPAitLN2SCP-MR_F4Bb8ZFCI3gut2jqeXxDd-2EIYnHqp2qiZihZGIklSrozByj4C2SRR86XTaBQ/s2400/8%20x%204%20in%20(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="2400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcax1kJ7nHWLw9AZ494iwVBM22YK8n7FsGdHaQ0RRCgCN0tUD9BjkssIJRh3J5iP3f96xF_OU7Q9masAvPs_SBDUNSrPvlokWbRr1j5dSEbyHziTIPAitLN2SCP-MR_F4Bb8ZFCI3gut2jqeXxDd-2EIYnHqp2qiZihZGIklSrozByj4C2SRR86XTaBQ/s16000/8%20x%204%20in%20(2).png" width="675" /></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjs4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Sweater/Skirt Dress</a>, </span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjro" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Cape Sweater</a>, </span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjs0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Off-Shoulder Sweater</a> </span><span style="text-align: left;">(all c/o of <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2053969&u=3398231&m=31764&urllink=&afftrack=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chicwish</a>)</span></span></div><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjrx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Statement Bow Sweater</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRgmmkc94KzSQVJM4dWijZElDtPUVdODmPbZSVsBTpvlHxdKLNYySZj0guBnGsuzrq-wt05Y0ZCYxv37vUztcpPK32nKU6Z_OuIfD31IZeIZFzhDCHDycVRo0k22jLi_pvmzz_NarTqhFx0SnxGOSM8a-XJdiW6ipOPHWSZww3ADoYFUhVb_RXi6cfzA/s4129/DSC_0003.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4129" data-original-width="2735" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRgmmkc94KzSQVJM4dWijZElDtPUVdODmPbZSVsBTpvlHxdKLNYySZj0guBnGsuzrq-wt05Y0ZCYxv37vUztcpPK32nKU6Z_OuIfD31IZeIZFzhDCHDycVRo0k22jLi_pvmzz_NarTqhFx0SnxGOSM8a-XJdiW6ipOPHWSZww3ADoYFUhVb_RXi6cfzA/s16000/DSC_0003.JPG" width="675" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">I've been eying this statement sweater since last fall! The bow detail is such a stand-out. And I love the slightly trumpet sleeves too. This sweater is thick and warm, making it a perfect way to cozy up your outfits for fall/winter. For reference, I'm wearing a size Small/Medium here.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjrs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Rustic Plaid Skirt</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLgemHNuOREcwSuR2F1OCVomyxO7whkjU3d3z-veD3TJgbTxtxR6Do3e64xHmN_b8TSv_UW9F9EzIvdZz9e6I6iT2yEoVN0xE1t0KTK5RrOu169iuGbDesRZeTZDituu9F5-CPZJrWjCP9EQIUMW9MOqCBERS-VJI1vRhvGM3MN93_X4uL6LDMLo1jMw/s4256/DSC_0977.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4256" data-original-width="2819" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLgemHNuOREcwSuR2F1OCVomyxO7whkjU3d3z-veD3TJgbTxtxR6Do3e64xHmN_b8TSv_UW9F9EzIvdZz9e6I6iT2yEoVN0xE1t0KTK5RrOu169iuGbDesRZeTZDituu9F5-CPZJrWjCP9EQIUMW9MOqCBERS-VJI1vRhvGM3MN93_X4uL6LDMLo1jMw/s16000/DSC_0977.JPG" width="675" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">This is the perfect skirt for fall/winter, due to its thickness. It's got a really nice weight to the fabric, and is super soft too. The A-line cut of this skirt is so flattering, not to mention it has pockets!! This skirt looks great with heels, but also with a pair of tall boots for colder, rainy days. I originally ordered a size Large based on the sizing chart, but ended up re-ordering in a size Medium to get the waist to fit perfectly.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjs6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Spooky Sweater</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbkuSB2so4oiWG7ArcavtqMAmAC_he7hLYmBTjFcItsvUUyxoDKNhYZqLvWVgK7ZtwUhHvNuc1keu_WUrEug6aOMWmUROuUpkruYyBTiDONY7zECwyEE1gnziPu065YIhUuIPLJbuPcbSNPSu2t38Ekc5mu-puoixNqZACmxvo9PWhQuErHl6Cs6q6w/s4368/DSC_0991.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4368" data-original-width="2893" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbkuSB2so4oiWG7ArcavtqMAmAC_he7hLYmBTjFcItsvUUyxoDKNhYZqLvWVgK7ZtwUhHvNuc1keu_WUrEug6aOMWmUROuUpkruYyBTiDONY7zECwyEE1gnziPu065YIhUuIPLJbuPcbSNPSu2t38Ekc5mu-puoixNqZACmxvo9PWhQuErHl6Cs6q6w/s16000/DSC_0991.JPG" width="675" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">Halloween might be over, but it's still spooky season! I had been seeing this sweater all over Instagram for years, and finally got my hands on one. Isn't it the cutest? It comes in dark green and black as well, but I think the orange is the perfect shade for fall. I'm wearing a size Medium/Large here.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjs4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Sweater/Skirt Dress</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbQFwnTKL0hmgkHVSotVflvSfLQGUb9nY1zMDXRbLLttqmIpN7WyyBSVwUtpCNYgUdVT_R5FI3jgzi0fTX4vZlSfkL7d3k8TFaAth4CIMF3L6xcc367vjv_o7SqBeBnUodWn-02bgcFnYbAPu-2EI6Qrp6dbNy0iVwuMBHkeAf3V3kdca81xshs5JM5Q/s4489/DSC_0971.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4489" data-original-width="2973" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbQFwnTKL0hmgkHVSotVflvSfLQGUb9nY1zMDXRbLLttqmIpN7WyyBSVwUtpCNYgUdVT_R5FI3jgzi0fTX4vZlSfkL7d3k8TFaAth4CIMF3L6xcc367vjv_o7SqBeBnUodWn-02bgcFnYbAPu-2EI6Qrp6dbNy0iVwuMBHkeAf3V3kdca81xshs5JM5Q/s16000/DSC_0971.JPG" width="675" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">This sweater dress is in the perfect shade of camel, and is nice and cozy for the fall/winter season. The pleated skirt underneath is such a unique touch, and is actually fully attached to the rest of the sweater dress! Same as the rustic plaid skirt, this dress would also look great with some tall boots. I ordered a size Large in this dress, but I could have gone with a Medium, as it's quite stretchy.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjro" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Cape Sweater</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcS6R9d3W8jPunFt-hNFCXw-ewsXSuPjZ30qcoug-5gX9GbWEKPXpjqQ_Md44VJaznVaZ16q3T9YRYggH0toEWz8H_Z-SXPAiS9SoF9ZtMnI72li55j-gXC6SfiUicP3U6LAZQs2qR9wVmDKeJ3Qq9_mH5F7boAxs3GkDT09nZ6wCidYLMj6XgJIQ3Hw/s4173/DSC_0015.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4173" data-original-width="2764" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcS6R9d3W8jPunFt-hNFCXw-ewsXSuPjZ30qcoug-5gX9GbWEKPXpjqQ_Md44VJaznVaZ16q3T9YRYggH0toEWz8H_Z-SXPAiS9SoF9ZtMnI72li55j-gXC6SfiUicP3U6LAZQs2qR9wVmDKeJ3Qq9_mH5F7boAxs3GkDT09nZ6wCidYLMj6XgJIQ3Hw/s16000/DSC_0015.JPG" width="675" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">I have been wearing this sweater <i>non-stop</i> since I got it! I am obsessed with the open style of this cape sweater, because it keeps me from getting sweaty and overheated if I'm running from store to store. Because it's open on the sides, I do wear a tank top underneath. Easily style it with some leggings for a chic and cozy fall/winter look that's great for running errands or cozying up on the couch. This sweater is a size Small/Medium, and it's a perfect fit.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://shrsl.com/3sjs0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Off-Shoulder Sweater</a></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUz1I5JZ9x-D0ignf2Mtzu_cyDZ6MpYqODfjRmmJa5UWWbt6gzAwfw9woSDXti8s-TUwhG-zeAdm-xcp-8DVHiP_73hJjUWyUIlS1ky33Kt2qcqTolIWwjeSQ7jAslWWXsVqqEnaubzl5G09mqGjus_NHzLU713wqAO1seMA4ixJLqjFfUS86O37ih9Q/s3723/DSC_0981.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3723" data-original-width="2466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUz1I5JZ9x-D0ignf2Mtzu_cyDZ6MpYqODfjRmmJa5UWWbt6gzAwfw9woSDXti8s-TUwhG-zeAdm-xcp-8DVHiP_73hJjUWyUIlS1ky33Kt2qcqTolIWwjeSQ7jAslWWXsVqqEnaubzl5G09mqGjus_NHzLU713wqAO1seMA4ixJLqjFfUS86O37ih9Q/s16000/DSC_0981.JPG" width="675" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">This off-shoulder sweater is the perfect sexy but cozy top for the fall/winter season. It criss-crosses in the front and folds over around the back. It's easy to adjust to show more or less of the shoulders. Pair it with a pair of jeans for a more casual look, or with a pair of faux leather pants or a skirt for a night out. This one is a size Small/Medium, and it fits great. Sizing would be flexible, as it's very stretchy.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Which of these pieces would you rock this fall/winter?</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Thanks to <a href="https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2053969&u=3398231&m=31764&urllink=&afftrack=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chicwish</a> for providing the items featured here for review!

And as we come out of the pandemic, I'm definitely up for all the parties. Give me any excuse to dress up! I especially love dressing up for bridal and baby showers, as the vibe is very similar to what you would wear to afternoon tea (my favourite!): something classy, dressy, pretty and sweet. I always think soft colour palettes, florals and tea-length hemlines when I think of bridal and baby showers.</p><p>To get ready for 'shower season', I hand-picked some gorgeous outfits from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Z6NzTPntmtLtSQXHbf__NQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chicwish</a> that I thought would be perfect to wear as a guest to bridal or baby showers. I've always been a fan of Chicwish - everything I've bought from them in the past has always been so reasonably priced while still maintaining really good quality. The fabrics are always so nice and thick and hang well, and the silhouettes are very sweet and feminine. Chicwish was kind enough to provide the pieces I had picked out complimentary for me to test and review here, and you'll find my honest reviews of each of them below. I think you'll find them especially helpful if you're looking for some inspiration for what to wear as a guest to a bridal shower or baby shower party you're attending. Keep reading below for a full review of each outfit.</p><p>I've also done an Instagram Reel featuring all of these looks if you want to see how they look while in motion. I've included that below too!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlJHGawIh-URgU1a3T5On9oEkvASl2jC_OyKdsym5UZ5wpnzvKHqO_sZsY5JCdX_vl4m704FVOlQ1ZlruIK3d-tC80MDtQiPimftQPPZBzonkD8GO5-D-1h_O_ys3uco_fvr0oATM_TjKBV2lUQqV55XCOHPM3wRf_hNPqYYG56Rf1wnQreO-4_o_TQ/s1640/Facebook%20Page%20Cover.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="924" data-original-width="1640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHlJHGawIh-URgU1a3T5On9oEkvASl2jC_OyKdsym5UZ5wpnzvKHqO_sZsY5JCdX_vl4m704FVOlQ1ZlruIK3d-tC80MDtQiPimftQPPZBzonkD8GO5-D-1h_O_ys3uco_fvr0oATM_TjKBV2lUQqV55XCOHPM3wRf_hNPqYYG56Rf1wnQreO-4_o_TQ/s16000/Facebook%20Page%20Cover.png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+2yfgxHHsVvhUNrV08y70_w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pink peony dress</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GZhmOC94sf9uXvQCOCp1TQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Off-shoulder top</a> & <a href="https://rstyle.me/+--mC25tGZ9lWR-qGbzBw_A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Floral embossed skirt</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/+F8UJC_3UD67Opj20tIkwdQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Garden bloom dress</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/+HZM1tPB7PJqkDHIbKrNLJA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Swallow and rose dress</a> (all c/o Chicwish)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhai39lYwrKvcQrQMxxldWHPxMsvYpPEmTTFXreJ0ue71Ac7S_fId0c9L0JBZ0RN1NTnl8yLyentL0eCRidJ-5zA-tHh14_3xcbRK4dHd5pPRvedbcy5ayNn94-pC2g260hgWNWSLJ1BUzfjMQmshZvHPHVy65_fGEsppHauwoHHq6XD9rC3QbehR8low/s1640/Facebook%20Page%20Cover%20(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="924" data-original-width="1640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhai39lYwrKvcQrQMxxldWHPxMsvYpPEmTTFXreJ0ue71Ac7S_fId0c9L0JBZ0RN1NTnl8yLyentL0eCRidJ-5zA-tHh14_3xcbRK4dHd5pPRvedbcy5ayNn94-pC2g260hgWNWSLJ1BUzfjMQmshZvHPHVy65_fGEsppHauwoHHq6XD9rC3QbehR8low/s16000/Facebook%20Page%20Cover%20(1).png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+iJv6N263-JouUZkNXBLEkQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bowknot crop top</a> & <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0feDw-nr8Lt-Fs8gw0mIPQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glam pleated skirt</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/+JHyD8SaEDPQOyq-eeed2TA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Puff sleeve crop top</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/+7zYgVsmPVq96UFF4r5BfnQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rose blossom dress</a> | <a href="https://rstyle.me/+v-RKcdecaH2IK8AtwN4j_A" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Crochet crop top</a> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">(all c/o Chicwish)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is my favourite outfit of the bunch: Chicwish's <a href="https://rstyle.me/+2yfgxHHsVvhUNrV08y70_w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pink Peony Blossom Tie-Strap A-Line Midi Dress</a>. I can't wait to wear it to <a href="https://www.legalleeblonde.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LegalLee Blonde</a>'s baby shower later this month! I love the dress' contrasting black tie straps and neutral floral pattern. It might have something to do with the fact that I love pink peonies. This dress is a size medium, and while I was a bit worried the bustier style neckline would be too small (there's no boning FYI), but I was actually pleasantly surprised by the sizing in the bust area. The dress also comes with a fabric belt that is in the same floral pattern, but I actually think the dress looks better with a black belt that matches the contrasting straps. Overall, it's gorgeous!! Perfect to wear as a guest to a bridal or baby shower.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjchpkl0epxXJG3_MHU79cv8ldNmtfd0Iv3vEPynkjx4dMFpw52ie8NiWSRD8rSq6VUOA-ufILB2jsirS3fVoR3EVhXMvYK_8Se9ApoALVO3aI2WwvSyxrU5flfjWvvcZcR_s5thE05_M6jS7GfokzQpMaTCSH3UuOLLXxrIU64cieLj9wKF-y_mRtMOA/s1200/Facebook%20Post%20(1).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjchpkl0epxXJG3_MHU79cv8ldNmtfd0Iv3vEPynkjx4dMFpw52ie8NiWSRD8rSq6VUOA-ufILB2jsirS3fVoR3EVhXMvYK_8Se9ApoALVO3aI2WwvSyxrU5flfjWvvcZcR_s5thE05_M6jS7GfokzQpMaTCSH3UuOLLXxrIU64cieLj9wKF-y_mRtMOA/s16000/Facebook%20Post%20(1).png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+2yfgxHHsVvhUNrV08y70_w" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Pink Peony Dress</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is definitely the classiest of the outfits here, in my opinion. It's a bit too white for a bridal shower if you're not the bride (if you are, then this would be a great way to have just a little colour in your look!), but it would be nice for a baby shower. The quality of both the top (Chicwish's <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GZhmOC94sf9uXvQCOCp1TQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Off-Shoulder Tiered Cropped Knit Top in White</a>) and the skirt (Chicwish's <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GZhmOC94sf9uXvQCOCp1TQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pinky Floral Print Embossed Midi Skirt</a>) are <i>so</i> good. The off-shoulder tiered cropped knit top is a really nice thick material, and the tiers sit really nicely as a result. I'm wearing a nude adhesive bra underneath and you can just barely see the cups, so I'd say this top is pretty opaque (I usually find affordable tops in white are too see-through, but not this one!). And then there's the skirt. This gorgeous pinky floral print embossed midi skirt is the epitome of classy, and has such nice volume to it thanks to the thick fabric. I think it looks great with a pair of classic stiletto pumps. Here, I'm wearing a M-L in the top, and a medium in the skirt, and they're both a perfect fit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYLk1cXYZn_wx_Wgn_gU_ceo8WgzbravUZJ0xfyOEDWv8ZS-TmLVoextlcvsIBjS6oX6nAAv-tHCoiKFqIqQm2xLByuHqIgPjS-7O4hMdxrF6ZTLVABsBYiOYsll_7VNYGcHudDqTFanZqLykqIcLgNnmWK_EEyQNYrmeUo9QGb85dwZ5piQCzH-0rsA/s1200/Facebook%20Post%20(7).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYLk1cXYZn_wx_Wgn_gU_ceo8WgzbravUZJ0xfyOEDWv8ZS-TmLVoextlcvsIBjS6oX6nAAv-tHCoiKFqIqQm2xLByuHqIgPjS-7O4hMdxrF6ZTLVABsBYiOYsll_7VNYGcHudDqTFanZqLykqIcLgNnmWK_EEyQNYrmeUo9QGb85dwZ5piQCzH-0rsA/s16000/Facebook%20Post%20(7).png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+GZhmOC94sf9uXvQCOCp1TQ" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Off-Shoulder Top</a><span style="font-size: small;"> & </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/+--mC25tGZ9lWR-qGbzBw_A" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Floral Embossed Skirt</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div>I actually ended up wearing this dress for Mother's Day, but I think it would make a lovely dress if you're a guest at a bridal or baby shower. This <a href="https://rstyle.me/+F8UJC_3UD67Opj20tIkwdQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Garden Bloom Lace Inserted Mini Dress</a> from Chicwish has the most beautiful colours, and I love the lace crochet detailing. I ended up ordering a large in this dress, because I was a bit worried the fabric wouldn't be forgiving - as a result, I do find it's a tad too big in the waist and chest. Unfortunately, I think if I had it taken in, it wouldn't work, as I don't think I'd be able to get it up over my hips...so I think I just might be between sizes on this one. I still love it though, and may just find a white belt to rock with it to cinch the waist better. I still got lots of compliments on it while wearing it for Mother's Day!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPV1IsUkhozDek_ZOiimAObmGsylHhrfEfOLFTBcbC1LzT8pQ-qOXbDXarG2Lbm0yQtzJezdQP0uCphAzWnHGosVcFgEptAUgdSt44JVIynEqyGaA6qBbydPHyz7kgY24--MUIXz9y5m5zKzqsTRJqgQSLSf5b5Q0nBHNww2NeBQ6JTXPQZVD_1BJYmQ/s1200/Facebook%20Post.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPV1IsUkhozDek_ZOiimAObmGsylHhrfEfOLFTBcbC1LzT8pQ-qOXbDXarG2Lbm0yQtzJezdQP0uCphAzWnHGosVcFgEptAUgdSt44JVIynEqyGaA6qBbydPHyz7kgY24--MUIXz9y5m5zKzqsTRJqgQSLSf5b5Q0nBHNww2NeBQ6JTXPQZVD_1BJYmQ/s16000/Facebook%20Post.png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+F8UJC_3UD67Opj20tIkwdQ" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Garden Bloom Dress</a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">This <a href="https://rstyle.me/+HZM1tPB7PJqkDHIbKrNLJA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Swallow and Rose Printed Tie-Strap Midi Dress</a> from Chicwish is so sweet! I love everything about it, from the pattern and hemline to the sweet ruffle detailing along the neckline and the tie straps. The <i>only</i> downside of this dress is that it's just clearly not for larger chested people - the bustier cups just look too small. Luckily, I don't think it's super noticeable unless you're looking close up (hey, 6 feet apart!). I'm a sucker for a cinched waist, I just think it's always flattering, so I added a brown belt to the dress. I quite like the blue/brown colour combo. The fabric of this dress is not forgiving/has no stretch, so keep that in mind. That being said, I didn't size up and just got a medium, and that was the right call. Other than the look of the cups being small, it wasn't too tight anywhere, even in the bust. Overall, I still do love it, and would definitely recommend it to someone with a smaller chest!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifbEZBzYUu5CW8u6fRJnj3CxVHTKAIL7FM_WSMKE8abaQPnx1_010MpwU1na9X84goIAjR11vDvZSbt89mlrDgw3TMQUzbBzobBD-gLOlfq4Jx2iwZZvNe6162jq2XV4mOZ589EknYXI8hwl7NkUclrbqIPtKb4vTG_Zh3f7HPa6c88yLhsgVS00SU3g/s1200/Facebook%20Post%20(3).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifbEZBzYUu5CW8u6fRJnj3CxVHTKAIL7FM_WSMKE8abaQPnx1_010MpwU1na9X84goIAjR11vDvZSbt89mlrDgw3TMQUzbBzobBD-gLOlfq4Jx2iwZZvNe6162jq2XV4mOZ589EknYXI8hwl7NkUclrbqIPtKb4vTG_Zh3f7HPa6c88yLhsgVS00SU3g/s16000/Facebook%20Post%20(3).png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+HZM1tPB7PJqkDHIbKrNLJA" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Swallow and Rose Dress</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Pleated skirts have become such a style trend over the past year, and I can't get enough of them. And I just love this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+0feDw-nr8Lt-Fs8gw0mIPQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glam Slam Pleated Midi Skirt in Pink</a> from Chicwish, because it's such a beautiful colour and shimmers so nicely when you move! If you're going to a more casual bridal or baby shower, this skirt also looks super cute with white sneakers. I'm wearing the S-M size here, and I'd say it's true-to-size and comfortable around the waist. The top is a surprisingly thick material and isn't see-through at all. Definitely a great find. I'd just recommend really sizing up on this one if you're larger chested, as I ordered a large and it's still a little too tight for my liking. I should have gone with the extra-large. I really do love the top though, so I may end up re-ordering. I love having a few white crop tops like these to go with all of my spring/summer skirts.</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEIqONMVk-3hjsu3hxZuDmsE8G4aFSUsw9betwVeBXI_UXq34U8KMF0R3qRDMZNeugD6HqDeEaIk1l7Mig9T9scRpTzQ-tj8IhxW-6fc1T0PBJb-IdcdIMhLFkZhQjMmbJdhrLcwdX_JTJTPYzzfBeSC9-LYsmYT4VEUBPaqE8TWThqW6HX9PLbiOlig/s1200/Facebook%20Post%20(6).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEIqONMVk-3hjsu3hxZuDmsE8G4aFSUsw9betwVeBXI_UXq34U8KMF0R3qRDMZNeugD6HqDeEaIk1l7Mig9T9scRpTzQ-tj8IhxW-6fc1T0PBJb-IdcdIMhLFkZhQjMmbJdhrLcwdX_JTJTPYzzfBeSC9-LYsmYT4VEUBPaqE8TWThqW6HX9PLbiOlig/s16000/Facebook%20Post%20(6).png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+iJv6N263-JouUZkNXBLEkQ" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Bowknot Crop Top</a><span style="font-size: small;"> & </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/+0feDw-nr8Lt-Fs8gw0mIPQ" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Glam Pleated Skirt</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Not everyone wants to wear a dress to a bridal/baby shower, so I thought I'd include some alternatives! These pretty baby blue pants are old and so I don't have an exact match, but this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+JHyD8SaEDPQOyq-eeed2TA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Puff Sleeves Floral Shirred Wrapped Crop Top</a> is available from Chicwish. If you want this to be bridal/baby shower appropriate though, I'd recommend sizing up on this one for more coverage if you have a larger bust. I got a medium, but would go with a large to make it more appropriate for this kind of event. For spring/summer outfits in general though, it's fine in the medium! This top is a wrap, so it is quite cropped - that's why I've styled it here with high-waisted pants, to make it more appropriate for this kind of event. Overall, I am so in love with the sleeves of this top, they're so soft and flowy. And the pattern is really pretty too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pt166_0lIby0Z14EW0PDoDSqtaOtrMkvEFaqFUlj2Gew2vp7dTg-1UoCmehG7LJyhztbnA1VtpPzKsqCnKnXc9s2A7DbDq64WraMNz4yCv8CxFfneZj7mzArER_MsdhXvbfd5PcwYjQpBzgYdf-qtSs2jJ2xzxT_n0XYLC8xhqgYdNaxJpnVFY6pQQ/s1200/Facebook%20Post%20copy.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9pt166_0lIby0Z14EW0PDoDSqtaOtrMkvEFaqFUlj2Gew2vp7dTg-1UoCmehG7LJyhztbnA1VtpPzKsqCnKnXc9s2A7DbDq64WraMNz4yCv8CxFfneZj7mzArER_MsdhXvbfd5PcwYjQpBzgYdf-qtSs2jJ2xzxT_n0XYLC8xhqgYdNaxJpnVFY6pQQ/s16000/Facebook%20Post%20copy.png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+JHyD8SaEDPQOyq-eeed2TA" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop this Chicwish Puff Sleeves Crop Top</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This <a href="https://rstyle.me/+7zYgVsmPVq96UFF4r5BfnQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Red Rose Blossom Watercolour Tie Back Dress</a> from Chicwish is so sweet and perfect for a bridal or baby shower! Puff-sleeve dresses are so on-trend right now in general (I dream of owning a Selkie dress...). This one is extra cute because it has a cut-out and bow tie on the back. Size-wise this dress is quite forgiving - the waist is elastic, and the bow tie can be done as tight or loose as you like. I'm wearing a large here.

The fit is a bit boxy (I'm wearing size medium), so I think it looks best with fitted pants rather than a skirt. 100% recommend this for events or just for brunch with the girls (it looks great with skinny jeans too).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpIFVJlzKjS3TmQlUJHc3DhCmOkka6_-P-u8IvOdhlv0L2-qjl8vZg5X8KNxlbM6YzEG9WjnmU4N6hNonp12htafdWJL6EKjTUWN2vwHxisULBeJuTtydUvhvttOJml36JDk8WkELUWur1mm9gXBFB38tu4hvwnS9FeVQPRyvaW2LWCiy_G0OpckdGbg/s1200/Facebook%20Post%20(5).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpIFVJlzKjS3TmQlUJHc3DhCmOkka6_-P-u8IvOdhlv0L2-qjl8vZg5X8KNxlbM6YzEG9WjnmU4N6hNonp12htafdWJL6EKjTUWN2vwHxisULBeJuTtydUvhvttOJml36JDk8WkELUWur1mm9gXBFB38tu4hvwnS9FeVQPRyvaW2LWCiy_G0OpckdGbg/s16000/Facebook%20Post%20(5).png" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://rstyle.me/+v-RKcdecaH2IK8AtwN4j_A" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: small;" target="_blank">Shop This Chicwish Crochet Crop Top</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><br /></p><p>Happy Styling! xo</p><p>~ Britta</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Disclaimer: The clothing featured in this post was provided complimentary by Chicwish for review.

I feel like most of the cocktails I've been gravitating towards lately all have champagne or prosecco...not sure why that is, but hey, sparkling wine is always fun. I wanted to do something other than the usual green beer or boozy milkshake for St. Patrick's day this year, and came across a simple and tasty recipe from <a href="https://www.guinness.com/en-ca/recipes-and-pairings/cocktails/guinness-black-velvet/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Guinness</a>: the Black Velvet. It's half Guinness (an Irish stout) and half champagne - that's it! The champagne adds a nice lightness and sweetness to the Guinness. And I garnished it with a sprig of mint to add an essential pop of green.</p><p><b>Black Velvet Cocktail:</b></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Coupe or champagne flute</li><li>Pour Guinness until half full</li><li>Top with champagne (I used Henkell sparkling wine)</li><li>Garnish with a sprig of mint</li></ul><p></p><p>Of course you know me, a good cocktail is to be accompanied by an equally good matching outfit. This <a href="https://rstyle.me/+nlLRRnIwUVEgw3-SYGwn8w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">green Chicwish dress</a> (on sale right now!) is so cute, and is a nice thick material which is great, considering it's still March. It's not spring quite yet. If you want to see the full dress, you can check it out on <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2018/03/st-patricks-day-style.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this post</a> from St. Patrick's Day a few years ago. Then I found these SUPER cute <a href="https://rstyle.me/+qs4qlux9WEr0M48zsY7ptQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">St. Patrick's Day nails</a> from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+Hk211lwFFbu_BdIy24bufQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kiss</a> that are just perfect. If you weren't already aware, I'm obsessed with Kiss nails in general - they stay on for like 2 weeks (with a couple replacements). I always use the included glue, rather than the adhesive tabs. The St. Patty's style, with solid white, sparkling gold, and clover leaves are perfect for the occasion!</p><p>While things are starting to open up here again as Omicron wanes, I'm thinking this will still probably be another St. Patrick's Day spent closer to home, so I've been perusing food options that I could serve with this cocktail. I came across this yummy-looking <a href="https://dennistheprescott.com/2020/05/06/guinness-bacon-cheddar-and-barley-risotto/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Guinness, bacon, cheddar and barley risotto</a> that I may try out.</p><p>What do you have planned for St. Patrick's Day this year?</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiN1kO84-PQ6jY7QF9eHwzJivJr5mTXEtf7OfMsBLBGyDxhGnhAITQX8TJKpaGvuza4M9Qk8ISyCoz6YQbBXz6dHsK2dcRkmV608LO5I9wwkiiWC7PwWy3LeyYMlAIrKVWhtwxxbZGNddmQOys1MmMr5R_L5rNNwFwtEjgigdzvyQ1QZVA-fUt861hovQ=s4928" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4928" data-original-width="3264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiN1kO84-PQ6jY7QF9eHwzJivJr5mTXEtf7OfMsBLBGyDxhGnhAITQX8TJKpaGvuza4M9Qk8ISyCoz6YQbBXz6dHsK2dcRkmV608LO5I9wwkiiWC7PwWy3LeyYMlAIrKVWhtwxxbZGNddmQOys1MmMr5R_L5rNNwFwtEjgigdzvyQ1QZVA-fUt861hovQ=s16000" width="675" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtK0eh1zDLzLe_khUpH9S3VWOe0oXCMXvxZ1Ox4K_PlxlEUfMH_fMNEzvrP7dc4EXc9IEnenT2Zbm0IoWmUuP4GqxK3uVn-YGpQj_TfkDLTfUb8sLImfQlqNKU89AZvM7UoU89_ZxV2z4PRn5UztiEREtiJhQY-2QIz7RkkwSGUfUks9Np3Kwmz9X42Q=s4928" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4928" data-original-width="3264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtK0eh1zDLzLe_khUpH9S3VWOe0oXCMXvxZ1Ox4K_PlxlEUfMH_fMNEzvrP7dc4EXc9IEnenT2Zbm0IoWmUuP4GqxK3uVn-YGpQj_TfkDLTfUb8sLImfQlqNKU89AZvM7UoU89_ZxV2z4PRn5UztiEREtiJhQY-2QIz7RkkwSGUfUks9Np3Kwmz9X42Q=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhSCJQ1Qi5Kd5adD8k7L8RtNxsgnOYSM5ggGtSZnyTfj1ZBj5w3ApP64vtKerT_AFnJ2-244HEDWXL73uCUMBINWZs21NvYrA5AyJHIXgCwpmwtfE2JhDRPqrgjbcE5YDYqP-tBehm8Gz1GPorjA93Suqdh8vu38cnlzpbiW1lk0XfxsxCqU3p-Na3JBg=s4928" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4928" data-original-width="3264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhSCJQ1Qi5Kd5adD8k7L8RtNxsgnOYSM5ggGtSZnyTfj1ZBj5w3ApP64vtKerT_AFnJ2-244HEDWXL73uCUMBINWZs21NvYrA5AyJHIXgCwpmwtfE2JhDRPqrgjbcE5YDYqP-tBehm8Gz1GPorjA93Suqdh8vu38cnlzpbiW1lk0XfxsxCqU3p-Na3JBg=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhT6q5_EnpUoaYFG_VAW7yR6t1pwCzo0KdPrDMZgCsMjQ9wAKlTuyQ8iIMBkyFbq_M_Tm1m2qP8F40cIGoW-S9TvclEl7X-_1lSo-QyhJDbQ0gbMkmr2B7TaPkS9GBPaPMCj44Ddxg0It_2F6WdDKl1MZyh7QjJdksMsQIcuZPAPW-SRKfFWOyK4oDgTQ=s4928" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4928" data-original-width="3264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhT6q5_EnpUoaYFG_VAW7yR6t1pwCzo0KdPrDMZgCsMjQ9wAKlTuyQ8iIMBkyFbq_M_Tm1m2qP8F40cIGoW-S9TvclEl7X-_1lSo-QyhJDbQ0gbMkmr2B7TaPkS9GBPaPMCj44Ddxg0It_2F6WdDKl1MZyh7QjJdksMsQIcuZPAPW-SRKfFWOyK4oDgTQ=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiONbfwECbU1zM3mIJ6td2c8Q_YMgAw09jtCw9SFUB3qCo7DBi5naXBcIUpKZI2vgbDQJdwZCKPmfjfJM2tngTviuQjGdmvzcQnKK1WqzAo9fOl7N3hbdB3ImcGNT5GF_McSJINjRdlTWJGoGziqo1X84DSie4ZG8OysoaTGiRuWqZFLAp-gVSGMIuBMA=s1920" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiONbfwECbU1zM3mIJ6td2c8Q_YMgAw09jtCw9SFUB3qCo7DBi5naXBcIUpKZI2vgbDQJdwZCKPmfjfJM2tngTviuQjGdmvzcQnKK1WqzAo9fOl7N3hbdB3ImcGNT5GF_McSJINjRdlTWJGoGziqo1X84DSie4ZG8OysoaTGiRuWqZFLAp-gVSGMIuBMA=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

I think you can get them at Safeway here locally. I thought they'd make a great spa-inspired cocktail, mixed with gin. I added 1 oz <a href="https://www.tanqueray.com/en-gb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanqueray</a> gin and topped with the Sparkmouth Cucumber Mint Tonic and then garnished with a slice of cucumber and a couple sprigs of mint. By the way, if you're curious what glass I'm using for this cocktail, it's the <a href="https://www.crateandbarrel.ca/edge-15-oz.-wine-glass/s378755" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Edge wine glass</a> from Crate & Barrel (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+9jZehf7A68-39conRyHUIA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these glasses</a> are also similar). A nice elevated cocktail if you want something boozy instead of the usual 'spa water' infused with cucumber or lemon.</p><p>Sipping a spa cocktail is the perfect way to pass the time as you wait for your face mask to do its magic. I tried out the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+xz3E_3238HHet6PJXyVmDQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">StriVectin Multi-Action Blue Rescue Clay Renewal Mask</a>, and loved that it was a massage-activated and colour transforming mask. Once applied all over the face (in a light blue), you massage it into the skin, and it turns a deeper blue! Then just leave on for 10 minutes. The formula aims to reduce the look of fine lines, enlarged pores, rough texture and dullness. I can't speak for the fine lines, but my skin definitely felt glowy and smooth afterwards.</p><p>For the full spa experience, I have my Saje diffuser to make the whole apartment smell calming. The diffuser I'm using here is the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+xv1kTN3Wmx1FpjnAyPTqcw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aroma Lift Kit - Uplifting Edition</a>, and I used 10 drops of the Spa Spirit essential oils blend that is included in Saje's <a href="https://rstyle.me/+QeRFDUz5XEZFLnB0_FuHwQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Relaxation Room Calming Diffuser Blend Collection</a>. Spa Spirit is a purifying diffuser blend that has scents of grapefruit, eucalyptus, vanilla-spice and balsam. By the way, Saje's diffuser blends are 100% natural and vegan!</p><p>Do you have a calming ritual or spa must-have that helps you relax?

You've probably seen them on Instagram or Tik Tok. They basically work and look exactly like your classic bath bomb, except this one you drop in your favourite sparkling beverage (like sparkling water or sparkling wine). <a href="https://www.legalleeblonde.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LegalLee Blonde</a> got me a box from <a href="https://cocktailbombshop.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cocktail Bomb Shop</a> for Christmas, and I've been excited to give them a try. I figured they'd not only be a fun spectacle but would also make for a quick and easy cocktail.</p><p>I tried the Peach Bellini bombs, and dropped it in a glass of prosecco, with a few candy peach rings for garnish. While the blue colour didn't seem like what I'd expect for a Bellini, it tasted just like I expected it would!</p><p>They also have all kinds of other classic cocktail flavours like margarita, pina colada, mojito, and lemon drop, as well some tasty-sounding concoctions like raspberry lemonade, dreamsicle, and love potion. Depending on the cocktail bomb you choose, there's a recommended alcohol paring. But the great thing is, if you want it to be non-alcoholic, you can do any of them with any sparkling beverage of your choice.</p><p>Watch below to see how it works! What flavour would you try?</p><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CaljgNXlChZ/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255);

Maybe it's because the first time I tried to visit while in Paris several years ago with my girlfriends, it was closed and I was devastated. Fast forward another several years, and I was finally able to visit Paris once again, and of course Angelina Paris was on the top of my must-visit list. It was just as amazing as I'd hoped it would be: the most gorgeous and luxurious Parisian tea house, with ornate and charming decor, and impeccably-designed pastries. They are most well known for their signature Mont Blanc (which is made with meringue, light whipped cream, and chesnut vermicelli) and their famous hot chocolate. I'll share more about visiting their tea room another time. Today, I just want to talk about their hot chocolate!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM_zxCAUxDEoYzu0ngjAO2tfiEIx-dqRPONeY5aJuZQwmWSrkA6AUmIO7IoqaxqWNhIsCcVVXzFo_C2iTFtYxwu7kvcWRCzrUDpboEWEgQ8s9wrQzugz6-ynqtYs1ADPmOxYALgYmNhMDM6pAtkb37C2cwMpbIKRXjk7QZ6DJFKNh0lo4IPXc6rEBbqQ=s4080" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhM_zxCAUxDEoYzu0ngjAO2tfiEIx-dqRPONeY5aJuZQwmWSrkA6AUmIO7IoqaxqWNhIsCcVVXzFo_C2iTFtYxwu7kvcWRCzrUDpboEWEgQ8s9wrQzugz6-ynqtYs1ADPmOxYALgYmNhMDM6pAtkb37C2cwMpbIKRXjk7QZ6DJFKNh0lo4IPXc6rEBbqQ=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><p> I picked up a tin of their hot chocolate mix while I was there, and it's been a nice way to transport myself back to Paris with just a sip.

It's in the quintessential Monogram Forever LV pattern, and makes such a versatile accessory. In addition to being a beautiful hair tie and handbag accessory, it looks excellent tied around the neck. It's a classic luxury piece to have in your wardrobe. As for the rest of the look, my beret is from a <a href="https://www.thehatshop.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">local hat shop</a> here on Granville Island, my cashmere sweater was a thrifted find from <a href="https://www.valuevillage.ca/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Value Village</a>, and the blazer is from H&M.

Truth be told, I love all floral flavours like rose and lavender. I know they're not everyone's favourite - some think florals taste soapy, but if you are one of those people like me that <i>do</i> love florals in your food or drink, I think you'll really like what I've whipped up! </p><p><b>Rose champagne cocktail:</b></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>4oz<span> </span><a href="https://www.bcliquorstores.com/product/392710" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vranken Pommery POP Rosé Champagne</a> (I've visited Pommery's champagne house in Reims, France, and it was an incredible experience! And I just love these mini bottles the have, which come in both blue and pink).</li><li>Top with<span> </span><a href="https://rstyle.me/+L7kYTzsvXyUtu2OPvK43SQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fentimans Rose Lemonade</a>.</li><li>Add a splash of rose water, if you really love rose flavour like me!

I found my gold rim coupe glasses from Indigo years ago, but here's a <a href="https://rstyle.me/+K84RtT0bY0CGPn95ceW7GA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar set</a> if you're looking to add some to your bar. I also like these vintage-looking ones from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+fCopJc7-9fH8mhewH1x7PA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Indigo</a> as well. Pair your cocktail with some pink macarons, and you've got a nice treat to celebrate in style!</div><p>Now for the outfit. Lace is always associated with Valentine's Day, but I think sheer tulle can also be just as hot. As an example, have you seen those super-trendy <a href="https://rstyle.me/+gpSOR2dJM3WhXfKr89T0mA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gucci tulle gloves</a>?? They <i>exude</i> a classy sexiness. Well as much as I'd love to drop $800 on a pair of those luxe Gucci gloves, that just wasn't in my budget for this Valentine's Day, so instead I found this gorgeous <a href="https://rstyle.me/+5ipnfJyII9qDYXfg-s8fpw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">polka dot tulle top</a> (similar to a swiss dot look) from SheIn! The best part: it's just $10! It also comes in pink and red - how appropriate for the occasion. I've also linked some other similar tops and dresses below.</p><p>What are your Valentine's or Galentine's Plans this year?

When I moved out on my own, I continued to make whipped shortbread every Christmas, and it has such a nostalgic taste now for me. That, combined with my love of wearing plaid, especially during the holidays, and it probably comes as no surprise that I've got some Scottish in me.</p><p>This year though, I thought I'd go with the Scottish theme a little more and switch out the usual egg nog, instead pairing with some scotch. <a href="https://www.jaks.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Jak's</a>, a local BC-based liquor store, has <a href="https://shop.jaks.com/product?store=GR&slug=muckle-flugga-spirits-canadian-whisky-scotch-other" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Muckle Flugga Single Malt Scotch Whiskey</a> that is great - all the way from Speyside, Scotland, it's nice and smooth with aromas of sweet spice, blossom, pear and honey, and aged in ex-Sherry casks with over wintering in the Shetland Isles to add a touch of salinity.</p><p>I quite enjoyed sipping on this by the fire! If you have a scotch lover on your holiday list, I have a feeling they'd love this as a gift too.</p><p>Keep scrolling for a video featuring Muckle Flugga, and some holiday style inspiration!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgiZorjq7HAkJQGVLu6TugXoVJOb-2ub4Ptfsxjfkj9f9jBmmKfaz3QwY6jNc5CsmUxUIhIP_Vj2TBxJCOGTetqoojSj-ZpieFjgUcD9MN2-veFmXsAjkWcdIjoYozNPshxbz3GRO3ZJrnWi7L8citeuPwSz6NndObQTB1WgUaBcIL7RlOlS2jCB9R_cw=s4928" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgiZorjq7HAkJQGVLu6TugXoVJOb-2ub4Ptfsxjfkj9f9jBmmKfaz3QwY6jNc5CsmUxUIhIP_Vj2TBxJCOGTetqoojSj-ZpieFjgUcD9MN2-veFmXsAjkWcdIjoYozNPshxbz3GRO3ZJrnWi7L8citeuPwSz6NndObQTB1WgUaBcIL7RlOlS2jCB9R_cw=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6P9UgBrYbEX5Va4axBHYXGH4SQzoMULwBHRRuA-CDPtDqV0FtBGnFS6VxyQ8lruWsJv6iW8kPQzAeidoC-NTVMKdHN2wIVdQ0YU6O7yRdSfPRh0bemfMiZMj4lljzTAPCne8YYAwp7oAwDOHmaPjCwy4cIH_lPOlC9WvwLspZnuApxAIht0993DOdyA=s3526" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3526" data-original-width="2644" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6P9UgBrYbEX5Va4axBHYXGH4SQzoMULwBHRRuA-CDPtDqV0FtBGnFS6VxyQ8lruWsJv6iW8kPQzAeidoC-NTVMKdHN2wIVdQ0YU6O7yRdSfPRh0bemfMiZMj4lljzTAPCne8YYAwp7oAwDOHmaPjCwy4cIH_lPOlC9WvwLspZnuApxAIht0993DOdyA=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Headband - Zara (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+v6JRKqUXPt5K3CLPy8LSVQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar</a>), Sweater - Forever 21 (thrifted), Leggings - Zara (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+c-vr3gMFDRnv10hY6OFOOA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar</a>), Heels - Betsey Johnson (<a href="https://rstyle.me/+ajDLrC7hSZSfRTCA2mygTQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar</a>)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaQpSgZXzhXULBtlmlnLenqoOlk2Ut07Gj956sR4kwn54yConqoNGbXG4I3Ik0zO5OBEI5We1qonLzjhF2H760xHOiJH66gkvnSp2GU7a5X9ync8O3R7o-ZVcJdkQq0trnlQt4hVmeKoiJiiTgidUDlG_uTPGQk1_NNXayLeEufQyRiNb6FsVzadlpEA=s4928" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhaQpSgZXzhXULBtlmlnLenqoOlk2Ut07Gj956sR4kwn54yConqoNGbXG4I3Ik0zO5OBEI5We1qonLzjhF2H760xHOiJH66gkvnSp2GU7a5X9ync8O3R7o-ZVcJdkQq0trnlQt4hVmeKoiJiiTgidUDlG_uTPGQk1_NNXayLeEufQyRiNb6FsVzadlpEA=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEha0MmdQDLJJVRseSwELf1-qI2CwoIitXjcBX3ZT7ZdmDDF9VLz9uQfkgza-Q5ADIct-kjiPaTJAr4gjrbLqGwPtaE6DeEyY5_B85dLZGtZCTOJ4Y9nCBZXcRsTNReGQVYUH8lOMhzPkKtgb_ZIBIiaw9RZcbAhZ3vT6hj2Q70w4LZs_xEZPWicwjI3CQ=s4928" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4928" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEha0MmdQDLJJVRseSwELf1-qI2CwoIitXjcBX3ZT7ZdmDDF9VLz9uQfkgza-Q5ADIct-kjiPaTJAr4gjrbLqGwPtaE6DeEyY5_B85dLZGtZCTOJ4Y9nCBZXcRsTNReGQVYUH8lOMhzPkKtgb_ZIBIiaw9RZcbAhZ3vT6hj2Q70w4LZs_xEZPWicwjI3CQ=s16000" width="675" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p> <script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

It's such a fun creative outlet - from creating the outfit to the makeup. Some of my favourites over the years have been <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2016/10/halloween-makeup-tutorial-harley-quinn.html" target="_blank">Harley Quinn</a>, <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2015/10/halloween-glam-american-horror-story.html" target="_blank">The Countess from American Horror Story</a>, <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2017/10/last-minute-halloween-costume-makeup.html" target="_blank">Maleficent</a>, <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2016/10/thrifted-halloween-costume-psycho.html" target="_blank">Marion Crane from Psycho</a>, <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2018/10/halloween-costume-2018-netflixs-glow.html" target="_blank">Zoya the Destroyer from GLOW</a>, and Liv Moore from <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2015/10/last-minute-halloween-costume-izombie.html" target="_blank">iZombie</a>. But I've gotta say, I think this year's costume I'm the most proud of.</p><p>As I was watching the new Cruella movie, I knew right away that I wanted to do at least ONE of the many looks she rocks for Halloween. Honestly, the movie is so full of great costume ideas, but I really wanted to attempt her 'The Future' makeup look, which is what you'll see below! Let's break down the whole look here:</p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Cruella Makeup</b></h3><p>Good news: this makeup look was actually easier to re-create than I'd expected! It takes some time, sure, but not super difficult. <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CVhdnjDsqvb/" target="_blank">Click here</a> to watch my Cruella makeup tutorial on Instagram.</b> I picked up most of my makeup products below from <a href="https://londondrugs.com/" target="_blank">London Drugs</a>.</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Put on your foundation/base as usual.</li><li>Use scotch tape and scissors to cut out and piece together 'The Future'. 'The should be smaller, and 'Future' bigger (as seen below).</li><li>Stick your 'The Future' piece of tape on your face. Just make sure you've got the letters facing the right direction so they're not backwards for those looking at your face!</li><li>Use a black loose eyeshadow powder and a thick eyeshadow brush to dab on the face over top of the tap (just around the eye and nose area of the face). I'm using a holiday set I have from Pixi (the Fairy Dust Favourites). </li><li>Line your waterline with a black eye pencil (I use an Annabelle Kohl Duo pencil)</li><li>Line your lids with a cat-eye using <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/rimmel-wonderink-ultimate-eye-liner---001-black/L0753066.html" target="_blank">Rimmel's waterproof Wonder Ink Eyeliner</a></li><li>Coat your eyelashes with a black mascara (I'm wearing <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/loreal-lash-paradise-mascara/M0007135.html?dwvar_M0007135_color=Washable%20Black&cgid=" target="_blank">L'Oreal's Lash Paradise</a>)</li><li>Peel off the tape to reveal 'The Future' stenciled on your face!</li><li>Apply a sparkly red lipstick - like <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/nyx-professional-makeup-glitter-goals-liquid-eyeshadow/M0007760.html?dwvar_M0007760_color=Metropical%20-%20Pink%20with%20Silver%20Glitter&cgid=" target="_blank">NYX's Glitter Goals in Cherry Quartz</a></li><li>You're done!

I had to postpone my 30th birthday in July due to rain (boo! in July??), but went out for drinks to <a href="https://htastinglounge.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">H Tasting Lounge</a> (one of my favourite places for a cocktail in Vancouver) that evening and had a chance to rock this dress. It really is a showstopper.</p><p>The price of a Ted Baker dress really isn't cheap, but this is one item you'll understand the price when you feel the garment. The material is so thick and luxurious! And the hardware - the zipper on the back and the straps - both are emblazoned with Ted Baker and have a feeling of quality and luxury to them. But let's be honest, I still wouldn't pay full price for a Ted Baker dress. I picked this one up at the <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2019/04/sneak-peek-vancouvers-first-ever-ted.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ted Baker Warehouse Sale</a> for a fraction of the cost. BUT I also noticed this dress in a different print is currently on sale for <a href="https://rstyle.me/+UZEglVdJG3JwHzALNfPbFA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">half price</a> if you're looking for a deal too! It's so nice to have a really good quality cocktail dress in your arsenal (even if you'll need to wait until next summer to wear it!). </p><p>This dress was giving me major 50/60's vibes, hence the fun cat-eye sunglasses and white pumps. I've also become a big flamingo-obsessed since last summer, and love, love, love this flamingo clutch I found at Old Navy! It's out of stock, but I linked up one I found on Poshmark below. All I can say is there will be lots more flamingo stuff to come in my wardrobe! Give me all the Palm Springs vibes!!!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEito3qegIKNQuQxeda5GrZ5BMoEJxo_C4Q-J_IMeAYe8RvzIs1KACJg5A4FymlsERx7q7TNHMeugdMA2PLYOgPOucNW1B4iQUZlli3ydkt15TKhwss1Rcvydfy0HpSsU5ndkzJOCVWmWNRd/s2048/DSC_1356.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

I've been holding onto these photos since <i>last</i> spring! I've still been wearing this outfit a bunch at home this summer. It's the perfect thing to wear when riding my bike to patio drinks. The paperbag-waist gingham shorts are so comfortable, and the top is nice and light on a hot summer day (not to mention the yellow is fun and sunny!). And the little ties on the top are just so cute, and make the straps fully adjustable, as a bonus.</p><p>I've also been wearing these braided white mules to <i>death</i> this summer! They are my absolute all-time favourite summer shoe. Why, you ask? They're a good step up from sandals - they just look a little more refined. But they're still easy to slip in and out of if you're at the beach, etc. They're also really comfortable. I wish I had bought 2 pairs!! Unfortunately, they're out of stock on JustFab now, but I've linked up a similar pair below.</p><p>The photos below were taken at <a href="http://theshopsat1345.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Shops at 1345</a> and <a href="https://shop.icecreamandshop.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shop(pe) Ice Cream & Shop</a> - definitely two stops I'm glad we made while in Palm Springs. The Shops at 1345 had so many great local vendors under one roof, all with a unique range of products from cute little trinkets to beautiful home decor. And Shop(pe) not only had some awesome ice cream flavours, but a great little gift shop with all kinds of fun gift and souvenirs, like pool floats and tropical cocktail kits (complete with mini umbrellas and palm leaf stir sticks!). I look forward to going back once it's OK to travel again! Until then, I'll just keep rocking my Palm Springs outfits closer to home...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt4g9U0kQSfp_VMoszzt2R-zU0tlL-aSkjhFPcr6XPWcaiNhVzVYsVCCn4zqfQjDbzYJv7x7emuj7Y_Q_WPwZkJpnnQOsiHlOtPF5Y85mLfBPyENczDASYqZncO46jqwimk1RIg84sOop5/s2048/20190426_151753.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Self-care has been a buzz word for quite a while now, but ever since quarantine became a thing, it's been taken to a whole new level! After all, what better time to give yourself some R&R...than when there are literally no other distractions! I know there is a ton of content out there right now about how to up your productivity while at home, but we also shouldn't feel pressured to be 'productive' 100% of the time. I honestly love to spend time doing nothing 'productive' (like doing my nails or bingeing Netflix). It balances out the busy.<br />
<br />
So, all to say that if you want to spend a little more time relaxing and pampering yourself while in Quarantine, this is the post for you. I thought I'd share a few of my favourite products to help you unwind and treat yourself by turning your home into your own personal spa - from bathtime to your nighttime skincare routine.<br />

<b><a href="https://rstyle.me/+UFfwDGuyZ4vG79DwNf5PPg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Neutrogena Deep Clean Purifying Cleanser & Mask</a>: </b>With not being able to socialize (outside of the house) on the weekends, I've been enjoying some extra time hanging out in bed with a face mask on, doing my nails. Cause why not?? One of my favourite face masks is Neutrogena's <a href="https://rstyle.me/+UFfwDGuyZ4vG79DwNf5PPg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Deep Clean Purifying Cleanser & Mask</a>. It feels cooling on the skin when you initially apply it which feels nice and refreshing. It does a great job of deep cleaning, so when my skin is breaking out (which it is right now), this is my go-to. Or I like to use it in the summertime because of the cooling effect.</div>

Night Time Routine Self-Care</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My skincare routine has definitely become <i>far </i>more elaborate in quarantine. I've been testing out tons of awesome new products, and these are two of my favourites that will help you feel like you've had some spa-grade treatments at home!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This pro-grade salon-worthy scrub is made up of a super fine-textured crystal blend that makes my skin feel insanely soft afterwards. You can also use this scrub on your hands, elbows, knees and even heels!</div>

And so worth it for the super smooth skin afterwards.</div>

While I wish I had a giant soaker tub, our bathtub will have to do for the moment. I don't do baths all that often, but that makes them a special self-care evening when I do partake. And in quarantine, there definitely is all the time in the world for baths.</div>

You actually only need to leave it on your wet hair for 1 minute after shampooing, but I've left it on while taking a bath and rinsing off afterwards. My hair smells so good afterwards, and feels super soft. It's a great way to treat your hair while stuck at home.</div>

Handwashing Self-Care</h3>
<div>
We've all been washing our hands an insane amount lately. In fact, my hands are sadly pretty dry, irritated, and flaky right now as a result. Why not make handwashing a little more enjoyable, with some spa-worthy products?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

The oatmeal can also do some light exfoliating! Considering we're washing our hands so much right now, it makes sense to invest in some decent soap (and why not make it a local purchase, too?).</div>

<br />
This was the perfect excuse to pull out my favourite eco-friendly beauty products today, to do a little beauty tutorial. Watch the video below to see the whole look (I kept it simple but pretty), and find out why these products were curated as part of my Earth Day beauty routine. They range from natural origins products to those that are made of highly renewable resources, or have recyclable packaging to environmentally-friendly manufacturing operations. Luckily, you can find all the products I used at your local London Drugs (which is open during the pandemic, yay!), or just order online from <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">their website</a> and get it delivered so you don't need to leave your home!<br />

Needless to say, no, I'm not running around doing photo shoots while we're self-isolating. BUT I will be changing out of my sweatpants for Easter Sunday tomorrow, as my friends and I are doing Easter afternoon tea, delivered from Neverland Tea in Vancouver! I've been talking about them a lot lately, because a) it's important to support local businesses now if we can and b) their afternoon tea definitely brightens an endless string of days spent indoors.<br />
<br />
Now I'm not usually one to share a bunch of higher-end brands here on Vancouver Vogue, with one exception - when I get a great deal on them!! The Ted Baker skirt and handbag you'll see below were purchased during a <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2019/04/sneak-peek-vancouvers-first-ever-ted.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ted Baker warehouse sale</a> I went to last April. I picked up some incredible deals, including 3 Ted Baker purses, a skirt, and a dress. The beautiful skirt you'll see below here was only $29.99 and the purse was only $49.99 (can you believe it?!?!). Talk about some serious deals. I actually ended up giving this adorable little lilac purse to my mom, and kept the other two - a deep royal blue bag with gold bow, and a black bag with rose gold hardware and bow.<br />
<br />
For sizing reference by the way, I'm wearing a Ted Baker size 2. Their sizing is completely different from any standard sizing you're probably used to - I'm wearing a Ted Baker size 2, which is about a US 4-6. You can find their full <a href="https://www.tedbaker.com/us/size-and-fit-guide/size-guide-for-women" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">size guide for women</a> on their website.<br />
<br />
Since that sale, I've been keeping my eye out on Ebay and Poshmark for second hand Ted Baker pieces that are a good deal. I think one of my goals once I turn 30 this year will be to try and curate more high-end fashion pieces that I can treasure for years to come. I just love the attention to detail on their pieces. The hardware on everything from their purses to their skirts and dresses are beautiful - I love the rose gold their often use!<br />
<br />
Finally, I paired my Easter tea outfit with this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+bDA0Pi4c_GtxGyhCSP-l2w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">gorgeous statement top</a> (actually it's a bodysuit) from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+bDA0Pi4c_GtxGyhCSP-l2w" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SheIn</a>, which I love so much I also ended up buying it in hot pink too. It's only $15! The ruffles are made of a scuba material, which gives them that nice volume.<br />
<br />
I've linked up some similar skirt options at the bottom of this post as well, since unfortunately I couldn't find this exact skirt for sale anymore online. Just scroll right to the bottom to see them all!<br />

Well, I wish I could say I'd be wearing this outfit out for Easter this weekend, but no. Easter will be spent on the couch this year. For the record, these photos were actually from last year (notice the shorter hair!), as I realized they never did make it to the blog here for some reason. I still absolutely love how colourful and pastel-y this outfit is (it definitely puts a smile on my face!), so I figured it was still definitely worth sharing. And with Easter this weekend, pastels seemed more than appropriate.<br />
<br />
I've actually worn these pastel blue trousers to Easter brunch a few times in the past. Would you believe they're just from Forever 21?? I love a good pair of statement pants, and have an obsession for wide leg trousers especially. I bought these ones years ago, but I found a few similar pairs online - in <a href="https://rstyle.me/+vhfL30hetN-YjjckW5L78Q" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">plus size</a>, and <a href="https://rstyle.me/+1oRa-qbb7eBibifwMt63jQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">high waisted</a>. I wish I could share a link to this adorable macaron blouse too, but sadly, I can't find anything similar in stock online! But...I think a simple white blouse would also look great with a pair of pastel pants like these. Just pair it with a pastel pink lip and you'll be set to go! Even if you're just celebrating Easter from your couch...<br />
<br />
As for Easter-themed celebrations, I'm thinking it may be a waffles and mimosas kind of day. We usually do a waffle brunch with the family on Easter. Since we're stuck at home this year, just me and the bf, I also thought I might do a little adult Easter egg hunt (I've searched for some <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/jumbo-fillable-plastic-easter-egg---assorted/L0399904.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">jumbo fillable Easter eggs</a> that might fit mini bottles of alcohol)! I'd fill them with chocolate, but let's be honest, I've already eaten two big bags of Mini Eggs by myself as a quarantine snack here. I'm going to have to hide the eggs really well though, considering we live in a very tiny apartment! What are your plans for a self-isolated Easter?<br />

To make sure your lipstick goes on super smooth and doesn't result in any clumping of dead skin, it's best to use a good lip scrub/polish. I received this <a href="https://rstyle.me/+BG_IzgH-NjAeZIAA-dxyVA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Physician's Formula Lip Polish</a> from London Drugs, and I love that it has rose oil in it. It doesn't have an overwhelmingly rose scent, but it also helps to keep the lips moisturized. I find that some lip scrubs are <i>too</i> gentle, to the point of not working. This is not one of them. The granules of organic raw sugar are just right for sloughing away any dead skin on your lips.</div>

My only issue with this product, and I've had that with other lip exfoliators too (like the <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/e.l.f.-lip-exfoliator/M0007127.html?dwvar_M0007127_color=Clear&cgid=" target="_blank">e.l.f. Cosmetics Lip Exfoliator</a>), is that it seems to expire within about a month or two. Kind of smells like playdough after that time, and it's a bit hard to get rid of all lasting residue after using. So as long as you're OK with replacing somewhat regularly it does work well. If you want to make your own sugar scrub at home, this will work just as well! The point is, a good lip scrub/polish is key if you want a nice smooth lipstick application.</div>

I've been buying <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/nyx-professional-makeup-wonder-pencil/M0003271.html?dwvar_M0003271_color=Light&cgid=" target="_blank">NYX's Wonder Pencils</a> at London Drugs for <i>years</i> now. They're just such a handy product to have in your makeup bag. I use it sometimes as a universal lip liner for my lipsticks, drawing around my lip line and blending in before applying lipstick. Other times, I'll use it one my lipstick is applied just to neaten up the edges. It comes in 3 different shades, so you can pick the one that's closest to your skintone. The nice this is with this, you don't have to worry about finding the perfect lip line to match each and every one of your lipsticks! I find this particularly helpful when trying to keep some of my creamier or glossier lipsticks from bleeding. That physical barrier makes quite a difference!</div>

Pro tip: I also keep this in my purse at all times, so that if my lipstick smudges at all while I'm out (for instance, transfers to my chin when drinking/eating), then I can use this as a spot corrector. Or to clean up my lipstick lines on-the-go.</div>

This is one of my absolute holy grail beauty products. I actually have a stockpile of them. I use one for making my cat-eyes super sharp and cleaning up any mascara mishaps, and I have another I keep for cleaning up my lipstick lines. If you're someone who doesn't have a super steady hand (like me), then this is a miracle product. I use this all of the time especially with my long lasting lipsticks, to easily clean up the outside lines after I've applied. I even works once my liquid lipsticks have dried. It's also great for creating an extra-defined cupid's bow. I love this pen because it's SO much more accurate than using a Q-tip soaked with makeup remover.<br />

A quick usage tip: The makeup residue is essentially picked up by the pen, and you need to wipe it off before going in to take off more makeup. I usually just wipe it on the back of my hand to remove any coloured residue. You could also easily use a tissue.<br />

By the way, I'm wearing Rimmel's <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/rimmel-london-lasting-finish-extreme-lipstick---130-buzzn/L0445020.html" target="_blank">Lasting Finish Extreme Lipstick</a> in 130 Buzz'n here. It's a highly pigmented lipstick that delivers a nice bold dose of colour in just one swipe. The formula is also ultra-comfortable! No drying out here.</div>

This NYX Lip Color Remover will remover pretty much any trace of your lipstick super easily! I even use it on my <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2017/02/kissable-lips-for-valentines-day-with.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LipSense</a> lipsticks, which stay on suuuuper well, and it makes the colour really easy to wipe off. Same with waterproof lip products.<br />

It applies basically the same as a lip balm. I usually apply a liberal amount all over my lips, leave for about 30 seconds, and then use a tissue soaked with makeup remover to wipe off.</div>

This is a really cool new product that I was introduced to at the annual <a href="http://www.vancouvervogue.com/2019/12/whats-hot-in-beauty-as-seen-at-ldbeauty.html" target="_blank">London Drugs Beauty Event</a>. It's a dual-ended lip treatment that works to fight the signs of aging around the lips - those pesky vertical lines that make your lipstick bleed - as well as plump and moisturize your lips.<br />

I like to apply this before I go to bed, first using the Step 1 side, which has a brush applicator, and apply all the way around my lip line. Then I use the doe foot applicator on the Step 2 side and apply to my lips like you would a lip gloss. It has a similar texture to a gloss, but a bit less sticky. And it smells great - maybe cherry?<br />

<br />
When I wake up, my lips feel nice and moisturized, and hopefully over the years, it'll also help me avoid the issue of bleeding lipstick due to tiny wrinkle lines!<br />

Happy Beautifying! xo<br />

One of the biggest 'it' clothing items last year was the leopard silk skirt. It was pretty much on every blogger's feed at some point or another, whether it was with sky-high heels or bright white sneakers. The blogger community proved how versatile a silky mid-length skirt could be. When I spotted this silky (it's actually satin, not silk) <a href="https://ca.shein.com/Snakeskin-Print-Zip-Side-Skirt-p-782729-cat-1732.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">snakeskin skirt</a> on SheIn for only $15, I thought hey, maybe this can be this year's iteration of the leopard silk skirt!<br />
<br />
I do love the versatility of it, and thought I'd wear it for my last afternoon tea date with <a href="https://www.legalleeblonde.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LegalLee Blonde</a> a couple months back. I wanted a chic but cozy vibe, as the wear was still pretty cold, so I paired it with an oversized (read: men's) cashmere sweater that I thrifted from <a href="https://www.valuevillage.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Value Village</a> ages ago. By the way, seriously, if you've always wanted a cashmere sweater, just drop by your local thrift store, I've found so many high quality cashmere sweaters while thrifting! To top things off, I thought I'd wear my <a href="https://rstyle.me/+HKkOfQycah8JcBaWszxnOQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pearl hair clips</a> (also from SheIn, and only $4!!) and my favourite <a href="https://rstyle.me/+j-hqELkoFzdgncyJ0T00ZQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kam Dhillon Park Avenue glasses</a> from Clearly.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, you're probably wondering...where did we go for such an adorable and delectable afternoon tea? Our favourite spot in Vancouver, <a href="https://neverlandtea.com/" target="_blank">Neverland Tea</a>! They have the absolute best savoury and sweet offerings (in regular, vegan or gluten-free!) for a reasonable price, and their teas are fantastic too. I love that they make every pot of tea fresh (not simply adding water when you run out), and they have a <i>huge </i>variety of teas. I recommend the Heavenly Cream. Oh and did I mention, the shop is absolutely adorably decorated? It's worth popping in for some tea if you're ever in the area! I know for now though, we're staying home to stay, so if you still want to try them out from home, they're offering takeout services and delivery within Vancouver!<br />

Usually, I'm drawn to the ones with phrases in French or Italian. They go great with pretty much anything, and can easily dress down an outfit. I love wearing them with a feminine skirt, or a leather jacket. Graphic tees are a must in my closet, but in the winter time, I don't wear t-shirts much. Then I spotted this cute 'Ciao' sweater at Value Village! It's the perfect way to wear a graphic top in the winter that offers a bit more warmth.<br />
<br />
I've linked a few 'Ciao' graphic tees and sweaters at the bottom of this post, if you're inspired to add one to your wardrobe too. Might I suggest styling with a beret? I went for some serious preppy vibes with this outfit. A thrifted Burberry-style scarf, a navy pea coat, wide leg pants with cold button detailing...and a classic red lip.<br />
<br />
Spring is just around the corner, but it's not here quite yet, so stay warm!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Like having my underwear and bra match, having a nice manicure somehow makes me feel like I really have my life together. I don't think I'm alone in that feeling either. I just feel polished with a nice set of nails (no pun intended). At the same time, I'm pretty terrible at applying nail polish, and am too lazy to reapply every 3 days when it chips, so I usually go without.<br />
<br />
Then, about a year ago I discovered the wonderful world of fake nails. Now, obviously fake nails are not new to the beauty market by any stretch, but they're something I just never tried. Mostly because I always though of them as cheap and kitchy looking. Something a twelve year old would wear. But I was <i>so</i> wrong.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin5Habu2jquNCBi9KyusOnRL0-2R_-1K7PJ7gY6aV-5AQeyf007BOxNP56xh3WG3DH8yZEkjQAZMzrwA97w33PzKe1gMluEHNZOq70Gvuk7aolGHM_J8WmC0rwbvxfcihAh67zav31tKcz/s1600/DSC_0459.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1060" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin5Habu2jquNCBi9KyusOnRL0-2R_-1K7PJ7gY6aV-5AQeyf007BOxNP56xh3WG3DH8yZEkjQAZMzrwA97w33PzKe1gMluEHNZOq70Gvuk7aolGHM_J8WmC0rwbvxfcihAh67zav31tKcz/s1600/DSC_0459.JPG" width="675" /></a><br />
<br />
First, I picked up a couple pairs of <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/search/?q=KISS%20IMPRESS%20NAILS&prefn1=brandDescription&prefv1=KISS%20IMPRESS%20NAILS" target="_blank">imPRESS nails</a> from <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/" target="_blank">London Drugs</a> and gave them a spin. They were pretty great. They looked quite real, and had adhesive tabs pre-applied to the nails that held them on well and made them super easy to apply. The only issue was that the tabs didn't quite make the nails sit flush again my real nail, so when I ran my hands through my hair, my hair often got caught under the nails.<br />
<br />
Luckily, I received a couple sets of KISS nails from London Drugs' Beauty Preview event, and gave them a try. They come with the option of adhesive tabs <i>or</i> glue, and turns out the glue was the perfect solution to the hair problem. The nails sit perfectly flush against my real nails - they really do look like salon nails (believe me, I've fooled a lot of people and gotten a ton of compliments)! Since then, I've tried a bunch more styles of KISS nails and literally love all of them. They don't seem to be available on London Drugs' website, but they have a good selection <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/locations/" target="_blank">in stores</a>. There's a variety of styles (coffin, square, almond), and length (short, medium and long). My favourite are the medium length almond nails, although the long almond nails are quite nice too. Even with the long ones, I get used to doing daily tasks with them pretty quick and are comfortable.<br />
<br />
If you like the idea of having nice nails, but just can't justify the cost of getting your nails done in a salon every few weeks, KISS nails are a great alternative! If you're curious, just keep reading below to learn more about my experiences using KISS glue-on nails (and hopefully I'll answer some of your burning questions along the way).</div>

Nail Application</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP61E8gxgQxvxvNjaUc7OmG7o12on7l8jN_qjtewRWjmuUTsyH0rZ6i8v_xZ293y8yLNZ5MB7l6uYRwtXm84o3zQqHf1wnzOOuBFNYNIjO9uBBdTIrMkVbTQ0o3bSlnQ3Cvb7-TNKZ6hEf/s1600/nail+collage+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP61E8gxgQxvxvNjaUc7OmG7o12on7l8jN_qjtewRWjmuUTsyH0rZ6i8v_xZ293y8yLNZ5MB7l6uYRwtXm84o3zQqHf1wnzOOuBFNYNIjO9uBBdTIrMkVbTQ0o3bSlnQ3Cvb7-TNKZ6hEf/s1600/nail+collage+2.jpg" width="675" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Application is super quick and easy. First, I lay out which nails I'm going to use. The set comes with a good variety of sizes - 28 different ones, so there's more than you'll need. You'll notice tiny numbers on the underside of the tips, so you can make sure you have the same sizes for both hands. Then I'll trim down my real nails to fit the style. For the pointy ones, I have to narrow the shape of my nails (the kit comes with a mini nail file). I like leaving some length though, because I find it helps keep the artificial nails on longer. The kit also comes with a small wooden stick for pushing back your cuticles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then I use the included nail glue, applying it to the underside of the nail. Then I just line it up on my real nail, before pressing down and holding for 5 seconds. Lining it up first is key, so you don't end up with a wonky nail that isn't straight. If you see a little glue gush out around the edges, just wipe it away quickly. And that's it!<br />
<br /></div>

Nail longevity</h3>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can pretty easily get 2 weeks of wear out of a set of nails. Usually the second week, there's a nail or two that pops off. But it's easy enough to just apply glue to that nail again and re-apply it. Or, if there's another nail in the leftover kit that fits, I'll apply that instead. I wish the matte finish would last a bit longer on the matte nails I've tried (they usually change to a regular satin finish by the second week), but that's not a huge issue.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the record, the package does say wearing artificial nails beyond 7 days is not recommended. Not sure why that is, as it doesn't say. But I'm taking my chances until I see any adverse effects (which I haven't yet).</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FYI - the nails in the photo above are over a week into wear, and still going strong at the time of writing!</div>

Nail Removal and Recovery</h3>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I just remove the nails using your standard <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/sally-hansen-strengthening-nail-polish-remover---295.7ml/L7363385.html" target="_blank">nail polish remover</a>, putting one finger at a time in the bottle, soaking it for a minute or two. If they don't come off easily after that, then I'll come back to it and soak it again for a couple more minutes before lightly peeling the fake nail off. If there's any hard glue still around the ends of my nails, I'll just clip or file it off.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was a bit worried removing these nails for the first time, thinking they may destroy my real nails underneath, like what happened when I got gel nails done a few years ago. Thankfully, not at all!! In fact, I decided to apply another pair of nails right away, and wore those for 2 weeks (so I wore a set for 2 weeks and then another set for an additional two weeks). I took some photos below of when I removed the nails after the second set, and they still were in good shape! Just a few white markings where the nails were a little harder to remove. But I applied some <a href="http://londondrugs.com/clarins-hand-and-nail-treatment-cream---100ml/L4213633.html" target="_blank">Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream</a> from London Drugs a few times throughout the day, and within 2 days the white markings were gone.</div>

I haven't gotten a salon mani (like with acrylics or gel) in years, but my mom usually spends about $50 for a gel mani - and any fancy details are additional. That mani usually lasts about 3 weeks, so that would break down to $16.67 a week. In comparison, a set of KISS nails lasts me 2 weeks, and costs about $11.99. So $5.99 a week. That's a pretty substantial savings! Especially if you consider that my KISS nails usually have the kind of detail that would cost extra on a salon mani.</div>

I'd love to hear what you think if you try KISS nails too! Link your favourite style below!</div>

Growing up, I feel like my skin never changed that much from season to season. Now though, I see a very noticeable shift when winter arrives. My hands and cuticles get dry and chapped, my face feels tight and dry, and even my eyelids get dry and scaley sometimes (WTF???). Not fun. I've been on the hunt for the best skincare products to handle all these dry winter skin issues, and now that I've narrowed things down, I thought I'd share my curated list with you here! Best of all? You can find them all at your local <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/" target="_blank">London Drugs</a>! Keep reading below to check them all out.<br />

If your skin is starting to feel overly dry and scaley due to the cold weather, the <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/vichy-aqualia-thermal-light-cream---50ml/L0075569.html" target="_blank">Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rehydrating Light Cream</a> will be a total lifesaver! I've been using this cream for years, and it really is <i>the best.</i><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>Now, be forewarned, this formula does have a pretty strong perfume-y scent to it, but I actually quite like it now. It's very lightweight, and not at all greasy on the skin (which I find many heavy moisturizers are).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This isn't an eye cream, but because it's so effective, I've been known to use it on below my eyebrows and on my upper eyelids, where I sometimes get dryness and scaling during the winter. It works like a charm! Use at your own risk there though, as it's really necessarily formulated for the eye area.<br />

A lip scrub is an absolute must-have for me during the winter. I love wearing bold, dark lipsticks, and a good lip scrub helps make sure they don't get all gunked up with dry skin. The <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/burts-bees-conditioning-lip-scrub---7.08g/L0360203.html" target="_blank">Burt's Bees Conditioning Lip Scrub</a> is what I use.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I just wet my lips, apply the scrub and gently massage into lips, and then wipe off with a wet cotton pad, before then dabbing with a dry cotton pad. The scrub is gentle enough that it won't do any damage to your dry sensitive lips, while still effectively sloughing off dead skin. Bonus: it's 100% natural, made with honey crystals!<br />

It's the best way to ensure you wake up with moisture-rich lips. The formula is 100% natural and is made with natural ceramides that help to reduce the appearance of fine lines. I'm not as concerned about the fine lines, but I do find that my lips look nice and healthy in the morning.<br />

Dry hands and cuticles are also major issues during the winter months. Cuticles especially for me. <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/elizabeth-arden-eight-hour-cream-skin-protectant-fragrance-free---50ml/L5568019.html" target="_blank">Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant</a> is an all-purpose cream that you can use for pretty much anything - the bottle recommends even using it to shape your brows and revitalize shine. But chapped, peeling skin is what I primarily use it on. If you want to give your hands a real deep conditioning, try applying over your hands and then wrapping each hand in a warm towel for 10 minutes. It's a great way to pamper yourself on the weekend.<br />

One extra tip: this actually also works great on my winter flyaways! I always have the worst flyaways this time of year, thanks to all the on-and-off of hats and toques, and my super fine hair. I apply a really small amount to my fingers, before dabbing it onto my roots.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plaid is my favourite pattern to wear in the fall and winter. And it just so happens, that it also works great for holiday outfits. Plaid often comes in festive colours like red or green, which makes it easy to style the pattern for holiday party outfits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This beautiful red and navy plaid skirt was actually gifted to me by friend and publisher of <a href="https://issuu.com/folio.yvr?fbclid=IwAR0elM0RfDXS_9KgFMmdU_E_93OWRKyX39I72gr0UU2MMgRNsKO-wWzxBaY" target="_blank">Folio.YVR Luxury Lifestyle Magazine</a>, Helen Siwak. She also happens to be a super talented thrifter. I love the tea length of the skirt, and how it has the leather fastener at the hip. The fabric is nice and thick, so it's actually really nice and cozy! This one is made of polyester and viscose, but if you find one that's made of wool, it would be even cozier - perfect for parties this winter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sure, you could probably find a plaid skirt at the mall or online, but if you want a good quality tartan skirt like this, your best bet is to hit up your local thrift store. I've seen quite a few of them on the racks over the years. Take a peek at the tag inside to see what it's made from, and where the brand is from. This particular one is by St Michaels and made in Canada, 70% polyester and 30% viscose. I also have a real Burberry tartan-style skirt that's made in Scotland and is made of wool - also thrifted. You never know what you'll find! The nice thing is, the identifiable plaid print makes them pretty easy to spot on the racks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plus, the best part of thrifting your holiday outfit is that you don't have to worry if it'll arrive in time to wear during the holidays! And then of course, you can jazz up your plaid skirt with some holiday accessories, like gold earrings, and some sparkly gold heels. </div>

London Drugs recently hosted their annual #LDBeauty event: a chance for influencers and Beauty Advisors to check out all of the latest and greatest new beauty products coming soon to their stores. It's an opportunity to meet directly with all of the amazing beauty brands <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/" target="_blank">London Drugs</a> carries, and get a first-hand look at these brand new products. Of course, I want to share with all of you what I saw while we were there, because believe me, there is a lot to get excited about! Just keep on reading below for a sneak peek.</div>

<b>Trending Thermal Water</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of my favourite derm brands were in attendance, including Vichy, Avene and a newcomer to London Drugs, <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/uriage/" target="_blank">Uriage</a>! All 3 feature thermal water in their products, whose properties can calm and soothe the skin. I have been using <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/avene-thermal-spring-water-spray---300ml/L1162528.html" target="_blank">Avene's Thermal Water Spray</a> for years - it's great for a refreshing spritz, or even calming itchy eyes. I'm looking forward to giving Vichy's spray a try too. I'm already a huge fan of their <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/vichy-aqualia-thermal-light-cream---50ml/L0075569.html" target="_blank">Aqualia Thermal Light Cream</a>, which is so calming on the skin and extremely hydrating (it's one of the top 3 hydrating creams I've ever used). Uriage is a new brand to me, so I'm excited to test out a few of their products over the next while, including their <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/uriage-eau-thermale-thermal-water---300ml/L0492071.html?cgid=brand-uriage" target="_blank">Thermal Water spray</a>, and <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/uriage-eau-thermale-light-water-cream---40ml/L0492113.html" target="_blank">Light Water Cream</a>. Stay tuned for reviews on those!</div>

<b>New in Nails</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of my favourite nail brands had some exciting new launches to show off. I am the BIGGEST fan of imPRESS nails, so I was super keen to check out their new press-on nails for Fall/Winter. I find their style of press-on nails stay on <i>so</i> well (I can get 2 weeks worth of wear out of 1 pack), and the length of the nails isn't crazy long. The designs are always so eye-catching too. I can't wait to get some use out of these new styles during the holidays! Kiss Nails also had some gorgeous new nail designs to show off in their Fantasy Collection. I haven't tried them before, and I have high hopes because the designs were just so pretty. Sally Hansen was launching new nail polish shades for the holidays as well, and the gold shades you'll see below in their Miracle Gel collection are simply stunning. A must-have for the holiday party season for sure!</div>

<b>Glowing Holiday Makeup</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm starting to get pretty excited about the upcoming holiday season, specifically because it's the perfect time to get glammed up for holiday parties. <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/lise-watier/makeup/" target="_blank">Lise Watier</a> always puts out the most beautiful holiday collections, and this year's definitely doesn't disappoint. The packaging is gorgeous (the cases featuring sparkles suspended in liquid on a deep navy background), and the shades in the eyeshadow palette and highlighter are especially shimmery. <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/annabelle/" target="_blank">Annabelle</a> also had an exciting new collection to showcase. Their curated collection is perfect for create frosty, shimmery winter looks! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You may know Burt's Bees for their chapsticks, but did you know they also have an entire line of makeup products? Not just that, they're eco-friendly! <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/burts-bees/" target="_blank">Burt's Bees</a> has taken great care to focus on natural ingredients and works hard to ensure their packaging is made of recyclable materials and is itself recyclable.

<b>The Marvel that is Magnetic Lashes</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Magnetic lashes have become such a huge trend over the last while. I'm always keen to try the latest innovations - from the first ones released by Ardell which had both a top and bottom set of lashes which essentially 'sandwiched' together with your own lashes in the middle. The newest innovations, however, use magnetic eyeliner! <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/ardell-professional-magnetic-110-liner-and-lash-set/L0704747.html" target="_blank">Ardell</a> has just launched a <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/ardell-professional-magnetic-110-liner-and-lash-set/L0704747.html" target="_blank">new magnetic lash set that uses magnetic gel liner</a>, and Kiss will be launching a set of lashes with magnetic liquid liner in the new year. I've got a box of Ardell's magnetic liner and lashes, so stay tuned for a review on those soon!</div>

<br /><b>Makeup Launches to Try</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some of my favourite drugstore brands all have some awesome new launches to try. Covergirl has a new <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/covergirl-exhibitionist-24-hour-ultra-matte-lipstick/M0008467.html?dwvar_M0008467_color=Risky%20Business&cgid=" target="_blank">24-Hour Exhibitionist Ultra Matte Lipstick</a> that really does have impressive lasting power, and L'Oreal has launched a new Voluminous Original Mascara in Deep Burgundy (what a unique and pretty colour choice!). Finally, NYX Professional Makeup was showing off their new Love Lust Disco collection, featuring a super fun <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/nyx-professional-makeup-love-lust-disco-body-illuminating-puff/L0712981.html" target="_blank">Illuminating Puff</a> and a glam new <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/nyx-professional-makeup-love-lust-disco-shadow-palette/M0008472.html?dwvar_M0008472_color=Livin%27%20Lavish&cgid=" target="_blank">eyeshadow palette</a>!</div>

<br /><b>Skincare Innovations</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the biggest skincare trends lately has been customized skincare. I've been using <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/clinique-dramatically-different-hydrating-jelly---125ml/L0165594.html" target="_blank">Clinique's Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly</a> for a while now, and I'm curious what it would be like to add one of the customized Active Cartridge Concentrates to it. After learning a bit more about them, I'd probably add the one for fatigued skin! Meanwhile, Elizabeth Arden was showcasing their new <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/elizabeth-arden-vitamin-c-ceramide-capsules-radiance-renewal-serum---60s/L0600176.html" target="_blank">Vitamin C Ceramide Capsules</a>. The sealed capsules help to keep the Vitamin C (which is 178x more potent than traditional Vitamin C) fresh and stable - something I didn't realize is so important for skincare products with Vitamin C. And don't worry, those little capsules are fully biodegradable! Looking forward to giving these capsules a try over the coming weeks.</div>

<b>New and Natural Skincare</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been so exciting to see more and more natural brands popping up at the drugstore. London Drugs has a wide range of natural brands now, including Weleda, Derma E, as well as other familiar brands which now offer natural product lines. Clarins has just launched their new Plant Gold Oil-Emulsion, which is 100% natural origin, for instance! I'm just starting to test out <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/derma-e-vitamin-c-micellar-cleansing-water---175ml/L9943028.html?cgid=brand-dermae" target="_blank">Derma E's Vitamin C Micellar Cleansing Water</a>, which was showcased at the event. Derma E's skincare products are 100% vegan and are considered 'eco-ethical'. If you haven't heard of Weleda before, I'd highly recommend trying out their <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/weleda-skin-food-original-ultra-rich-cream---75ml/L9938945.html" target="_blank">Skin Food Cream</a> first, as it's a cult favourite. So rich and moisturizing!</div>

<b>More Skincare Launches!</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the most exciting skincare launches at the LDBeauty event, in my eyes, was the addition of a Sébium Lotion to Bioderma's anti-acne skincare line. I've been using Bioderma for years now, with their <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/bioderma-hydrabio-moisturizing-serum---40ml/L4324604.html" target="_blank">Hydrabio Serum</a> and <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/search/?q=bioderma+micellar&lang=default" target="_blank">Micelle Solution</a> being at the top of my ride-or-die list, so I was pretty excited to get my hands on this new launch. I've been using it for a couple weeks already, and love how hydrating it is, while still fighting my breakouts. Meanwhile, StriVectin had their new <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/strivectin-tighten-and-lift-hyperlift-eye-instant-eye-fix-treatment---10ml/L0671367.html" target="_blank">Hyperlift Eye Instant Eye Fix</a> on display, as well as their <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/strivectin-anti-wrinkle-double-fix-2-in-1-plumping-and-vertical-line-lip-treatment---5ml/L0671401.html" target="_blank">Double Fix for Lips</a> lip treatment - which definitely caught my eye. I've started using this lip treatment the last few nights, and am looking forward to the results. Younger, plumper lips, here I come! </div>

<b>Innovative Hair Tools</b></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've saved the best for last here! Conair unveiled their latest collection of hair tools at the LDBeauty Event: <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/search/?q=conair+unbound&lang=default" target="_blank">Conair Unbound</a>. In fact, we had a chance to try out two test models of their <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/infiniti-pro-by-conair-unbound-cordless-rechargeable-auto-curler---light-purple---cr510c/L0747623.html" target="_blank">Conair Unbound Auto Curler</a>, which were the only two models currently in the country! They'll be rolling out in stores soon though, so you won't have to wait long. As a big fan of the <a href="https://www.londondrugs.com/infiniti-pro-by-conair-curl-secret---cd203rc/L7791999.html" target="_blank">Curl Secret</a> many years ago, I have high hopes for this new hair tool. It's a more easy-to-use version in my opinion, and it's also wireless! Amazing! And you can charge it via USB, even in your car. With the heated part of the tool enclosed, it's also impossible to burn yourself (I'm looking at you, girl, who has burned herself one too many times on her hair wand). I'll be testing this out more in depth soon, so stay tuned for that review!</div>
