Summer Popsicle Tutorial [Copper & Green]

I am finally back with a new tutorial! This one is super easy.. it shouldn't even be called a "tutorial" lol. But I've been wanting to put this one up for a long time and I finally found the time to do it! It's easy and simple but it's great for the spring/summer! 

If you are scared of wearing some bright bold colors, this is the easiest way to rock it without feeling like clown or drawing in too much attention! Be creative and try other colors like royal blue or purple. :)

This is great for monolids, and for those that wear glasses - just skip out on the lashes :P

NYX Eyeshadow Base
Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette: Foxy, Chopper, Bootycall
NYX Jumbo Eyepencil: Milk

Where have I been?!

Hi!!! In the past couple of weeks all I could think about was "Jenny, you need to make a new post/video". However, I haven't been able to set up my computer for awhile since I have moved houses... but it is finally back up and running!!

If you are following me on twitter, I'm sure you will know what I have been up to... but if you are not - let's recap.

1. I moved houses and I hate it. (it was my mom's decision... damn parents lol)

2. Work. Work. More Work! 

3. Canucks are eliminated... I've been mourning.

4. Work. Work. More Work!

5. ....Did I mention work?

Work has been crazy. I finally get to take a break in a couple of days and off I go to DISNEYLAND with some girlfriends! WOOHOO!!!

So with that being said, videos/posts will still have to be postponed. However, I promise I will try my best to at least post simple OOTD's or something!

So please stay put, and be patient! I still really want to film my Spring Tutorial that I think you all will enjoy!!!

Thank you for all the support so far... I will definitely not quit :)

Holy Grail.

Barnes & Noble. A great place to sit, relax, read/study and sip on Starbucks.

I had just finish reading my bible; Vogue and had the last sip of my Passiontea Lemonade, I realized I wanted to share with you guys my holy grail closet item......

Flats.


HOLD UP! Before you think "boring!"...

Let me back up my reasons.

Is it predictable? Probably.

Now I know heels make an outfit look 10x better, sexier, and more edgy - let's face the facts. They fucking hurt. Unless you drive 24/7 and do barely any walking. But ladies, I live in Vancouver where I take the skytrain to work and I'm on my feet all the time!

Other than the fact that people tend to have staring problems in Vancouver, (Tip: take a picture, it lasts longer and you can frame it!) I just feel much more comfortable in flats.

Why I love them? They go with almost everything!!! Shorts, jeans, skirts, dresses - play it up or dress it down. Practical, comfortable, and easy.

Sometimes I feel like heels make a person look like they try a little too hard. Day to day, I love being comfortable and laid back in my clothes. I can list out many reasons why I love heels, don't get me wrong - they're a great invention for us women and our legs ;).

But flats... when can you ever go wrong with flats? Unless you're in the club. That's the only time I'd forbid them. Because you look like a loser. GIRLFRIENDS - if y'all gonna wear flats to a club..... It's either GO HARD OR GO HOME!!!

Having said that, if you must - bring a pair in your purse or coat check them. That way you can have your reliable comfortable flats to wear on the walk back of shame... wherever that may be haha.

Which takes me back to my point - reliable. Flats are reliable. No need to worry whether you'll trip in them, no need to worry whether you'll break a heel or get stuck in the crack of the concrete and looking like an idiot.

They will never fail.

Bonus: If I had to run away from an attacker (knock on wood), I'd have way more control than in heels. Better safe than sorry!

...although I guess with a heel, you can stab them in the eye with it...

It'll always be a battle between the two...



What's your fashion piece you can always rely on?

Here's my outfit:

Shirt & Skirt: Club Monaco
Denim Jacket: Forever 21
Flats: Steve Madden

Watch: Michael Kors
Wrap Bracelet: Club Monaco
Bangle: Forever 21
Bow Ring: Forever 21

For my purse, I just wore the same purse from my last OOTD (<-- click to see) which is the only purse I brought with me on this trip - it goes with everything!!! :)

Hope you guys liked this outfit... more to come!

BONUS:

Took advantage of the nice day out and went riding :)

OOTD - Date Night!

Alright, you guys asked for more outfit of the days so here it is!

It was the boyfriends and I's 19 months today so I decided to pull out this unworn dress I wanted to pull out for a special occasion - plus I got to wear my new heels! 




 (Ugh, didn't give myself a pedicure... gross. I apologize lol)

FROM WHERE???
Blazer - Club Monaco
Lace Dress - Aritzia
Watch - Michael Kors
Bracelet & Ring - Forever 21
Purse - DSW Shoes
Shoes - Nordstrom Rack



To dress down this dress, you can always throw on some simple flats, sandals, maybe even TOMS? I love TOMS! I live in them haha.

It would also pair great with a cropped denim jacket for the summertime!

Hope you guys like this!

xoxo
