Shop the 26th Tee

Leather jacket Forever21 | T-shirt Shopthe26thlook | Jeans Zara | Booties Zara | Necklace EllandEmm | Sunglasses Polette Eyewear

Currently, my main shopping sprees consist of finding the perfect basic tee. I wear basic tee's pretty much everyday of the week, under a blouse, under a knit or like in this case with my leather jacket. I found the perfect tee's at my girlfriend's online shop Shopthe26thlook. She handpicks each and every item during her multiple trips to LA, to make sure we get the cream of the crop. Make sure to check out her online store and fill up your summer closet. 

Actuellement, mes principales virées shopping consistent à trouver le t-shirt parfait. Tous les jours, je porte un t-shirt, sous une blouse, sous un tricot ou comme dans ce cas avec ma veste en cuir. J'ai trouvé les t-shirts parfaits à la boutique en ligne de ma copine Shopthe26thlook. Elle choisit elle-même chaque petit morceau lors de ses multiples voyages à Los Angeles, pour s'assurer que nous obtenons le crème de la crème. Assurez-vous de vérifier sa boutique en ligne pour remplir votre garde-robe de l'été.

Awfully Cozy in Awfully Pretty

Let's not kid ourselves, it is very funny being a fashion blogger in Canada, more specifically Montreal, where we can reach record temperatures such as last week with a minus 40C. While taking pictures, I always imagine myself on the beach with my toes in the sand, the mind can do magic things and Boom a photo shoot later, my trick works.

This week, I am collaborating with a great Montreal based online store called Awfully Pretty www.awfullyprettyshop.com When I first heard the name, I giggled as I love the antithesis effect of the stores name.

Awfully Pretty is a Montreal based online store ran by Kelly who creates a different setup by juxtaposing light feminine pieces such as camis and soft jewelry to nice cozy knits and vintage furs.

Here are my top picks from the Awfully Pretty Online Store :

This week you can benefit from an amazing 20% discount on everything in the store www.awfullyprettyshop.com with the code 
"LapizofLuxury" until January 14th.

3 Prints ; 1 Outfit

I seriously have an issue, I really cannot stay away from prints. When I spot a printed top, printed pants, printed dress, it needs to be mine. Also, I am very picky with prints and I was so surprised to find these pieces in my neighbourhood Target.

Red Square

I had to show you guys my recent discovery, well it isn't a secret, it's the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Red Square.
This color is perfection. I tend to go for more orangy-reds if I want a bold lip and this color is a gem. The formula on these is amazing, they do not dry out the lips like some other matte lipsticks. You know I already have my eye and many more colors. 

And obviously my amazing Audrey Silver-Smoke necklace by the wonderful Jenn from http://www.ellandemm.com

You need to take a look at this jewelry store, all handmade by Jenn, classic pieces that brighten up any outfit. I obviously have a growing collection ;p

November Favorites

Here are my Favorites for the month of November !

 

Clockwise from the top :
1- MAC Woodwinked : This eyeshadow should be present in all makeup kits, it works perfect from day to night and adds the perfect amount of color to your lids.

2- Maybelline MegaPlush Mascara : I have trouble with drugstore mascaras but this one is amazing. One of my biggest pet peeves are mascaras that make your lashes crunchy and most of the drugstore mascaras tend to do that, but this one doesn't and adds the perfect amount of curl and volume to your lashes. I will do a more in depth review on all 3 new Maybelline Mascaras soon on the blog.

 

3- L'Oréal Lineur Intense in Rock Brown : I have been on the hunt for the perfect brown liquid liner for an everyday makeup look without having the harsh black liner look, and after many attempts I found the perfect one. You must give this L'Oréal Liquid Liner a try, I got mine in the color..... and it has made me very happy.

 

4-  Laura Mercier Mineral Powder : Do not be fooled by the term ''powder'', forget MAC Studio Fix or what not, this product will change your life. The Laura Mercier Mineral Powder will transform your face from frumpy to glowy in a heartbeat, it's easy to apply and does not give you the cakey look, topped with the Urban Decay All Nighter Spray (see post here) you are sure to have a glowy face all day.

 

5- Lise Watier Undercover Creme Concealer : Oldy but goody, I have rediscovered this concealer in my makeup collection after using it for so many years and it is doing the job on covering my little imperfections this month due......drum rolls...........SCHOOL

 

6- EllandEmm Jewelry : I kept the best for last <3
I cannot start to explain how much love I have for this jewelry line. Jenn, the artist, gives us the best of classy and chic in an array of different colors within her collection, that sells out in a jiffy on Etsy. Make sure you visit her Etsy shop and get your hands on one of her pieces. I will soon dedicated a whole blog post on the pieces I have gotten from her, but I am waiting for some recent purchases ;)

All extra information available is linked on the product name.

Hope you enjoyed this !

*UPDATE : Project 10*

It is now November and I come to you with the Update of the ''Project 10'' that I tried to respect during the month of October !

And ......Drum Rolls !!!!!

I DID IT !

I respected the rules and managed to get only 10 items, which includes clothes, jewelry, haircare, nail polish and beauty items.

Here is my little roundup for you guys !

1- First, I made a little trip to Dynamite, which is a clothing store, and I was invited to an event where 20% was offered ! Obviously, I couldn't pass it up ! I pretty much got only ''Peplum'' items, I purchased 2 peplum tops, very versatile, for a Day-Look than can easily be transformed into a Night-Look, with nice black leather-ish Jeans. Then, I got this fabulous Little Black Peplum Dress, LBPD, for a night out, which I will post this week as a fashion post on the blog !

 

2- I have heard so much of the Kate Moss for Rimmel lipsticks, so I decided to check out what the hype was about. I got the #10 and it is a beautiful blue-toned red color that has amazing staying power, and such an affordable price, approximately 6$CAN, very cheap !

 

3- I have spoken before about my love for the Phyto Hair Products and this product is Holy-Grail material, the PhytoLisse Hair Mask. I have super frizzy hair and this tames the hell out of them ! You apply this product after your shampoo, leave it in for 2-3 minutes and rinse it off. If you blow dry your hair right after, you get a fabulous effect, no frizz and sleek hair ! This hair mask is pretty costly at around 41$CAN but totally worth it if you have crazy unruly hair.

 

4-5 I cannot express enough my love for these 2 necklaces. A wonderful girl named Jenn makes these wonderful pieces and sells them on her Etsy shop called EllandEmm, and they sell out almost 5 minutes after she posts them. Her store is one of the most coveted Etsy stores in the Blogger/Fashion community and I will dedicate a full blog post to her store, since I have grown a certain addiction and I have accumulated a couple of pieces. Her jewelry instantly dress up a plain outfit such as a white t-shirt and jeans, and spices up a Little Black Dress for a quick outfit of the night ! If you can get your hands on her items, you definitely should and fast !

 

6- This is no shock, but I got another Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains, this time in a more fall color ''Adore''. I will post a full review of these on the Blog in the upcoming weeks.

 

7- Once again, an Essie product, I just can't live without these polishes, every 2 seconds Essie comes out with a new collection and obviously I have to check it out. This time I got the color ''Don't sweater it'' a wonderful brown/gray that is a perfect fall color.

 

8- Last but not least, I got myself some Rocker/Biker Boots from Spring. These boots add an instant pick me up to any dull outfit !

 

 

So here it is, I DID IT, I managed to respect my challenge and made it through the month !
