Max Studio & Natural Life

Hello Fashionistas! How was your Monday? I had tons to do, from cleaning up around the house, making dinner, project researching and responding to emails, the day practically flew by. Today, I woke up energized and ready to blog, no vacay needed. What to blog about? That's usually how it starts for me. Then I remembered I received a scarf from Natural Life in my swag bag at the Media Preview Day and bingo. Now what to pair it with? Well, the weather outside made the decision for me. It started to pour down from around noon until late evening. I thought I would wait it out before going outside to snap some pics; However I changed my mind and instead went out and played in it like I did when I was a kid, and didn't know any better. I put on my favorite rain boots (the one that the hubster hates, but it matches my scarf perfectly) and a top/dress by Max Studio. I call it a top/dress because in my opinion it's too short as a dress so I always where it as a top. Let me know what you think of my pairing.

Joules: My Fall/Winter Must-Haves

Maycroft Trench Coat

Does a trench ever go out of style? This piece is a timeless classic, since Sherlock Holmes made it popular and Angelina Jolie made it sexy in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". I like a khaki coloured trench because the neutral colour can pretty much be paired with any clothing item. 

Parade Tweed Jacket

Secretly, I have always loved tweed jackets. It looks very collegiate. Very proper and put together, as my great-aunt would say. Yes, there is also a certain equestrian vibe going on here,  and for the longest I thought this jacket only belonged to that world. Not anymore, a tweed jacket is now a staple in any girls' closet. This jacket is perfect for the in-between weather of Fall/Winter. It can be paired nicely with jeans, trousers, pencil skirts, high boots; the pairings are endless.

Plain Jersey Tunic

This plain jersey tunic, is anything but plain, in my opinion. The pockets on the sides are an extra bonus and the bit of gathering at the waist creates an hourglass look which is very flattering to the female figure. This tunic with the soft grey colour is perfect for Fall or even Winter by pairing with tights and "wellies" on rainy days. 

Victoria Pencil Skirt

 I just got into pencil skirts, maybe a year ago, and now I just love them. I currently have one in my collection and want to add as much as possible. I chose this particular pencil skirt because of the stripes. The stripes gives it a little something extra. Also, the navy colour is one that can be paired with a lot of different colours, for example: feeling patriotic? Add a red or white top, belt and heels (not necessarily in that order, but you get my drift). 

Evedon Premium Welly

These rain boots (also known as "wellies") are my favourites. They are traditional wellington boots with a twist; They are so on-trend with there beautiful patterns, accessories and prints. There are tons to choose from in each category of ankle, mid-height and lace-up boots. Take a look here and tell me what your favourite is? Also, some have matching "brollies". Can you guess what "brollies" are? 

Misha Bracelet

This misha bracelet (other colours available) is just adorable. Adding a bow to pretty much anything, makes it instantaneously adorable. It's just feminine and chic. These bracelets are also a great addition to other bracelets for stacking if you're trying to create the chunky look.

It's Monday! Make the best of it ^_^

Rain. Rain. Go Away!

What is with all the rain!? The forecast this past weekend said to expect heavy rains both days and sure enough, not even 30 minutes after stepping outside to take these pics, the rain started. Hence, my outfit. I know what you were thinking...why is she dressed like a "bag lady?" Well, I was depressed. It rains almost every single day here. That's why I had to buy a pair of rain boots- which I haven't had since I was a kid. However, I must admit, I like these boots. They are sort of ugly, but the colorful pattern (I really can't make out what it is) on them make them sort of cute. The hubby hates them, but I think he'll warm up to them.

Wearing the Olay Fresh Effects {BB Cream} that I was sent on behalf of Influenster (see here) complimentary for testing. I didn't apply anything else to my face, not even my usual lipgloss. NO CLOSE UP shots, don't even ask! Lol!

Frustrated! I still don't know what I'm doing with this camera and I've had it for over a year.
