Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Daisy is definitely my go-to fragrance recently. I find that I can wear it whenever, daytime or nighttime. The scent is playful yet sophisticated. Feminine yet edgy. The bottle is adorable and only makes you love the perfume even more.
Trend Report
One Colour... Head to Toe!
style.com is reporting that a new trend this fall is wearing all one colour, not to worry about clashing colours. It was seen on many runways including Oscar de la Renta who paired this blue tweed suit with blue leggings.
I think this is a look that would something that you would wear once or twice to a specific event. In my opinion I would wear a dress with a brighter hue and then pair it with tights of a lighter shade. By having some contrast, you're still making a statement but, it doesn't look like it was an accident.

Thoughts On... Agyness Deyn
Lately I have been especially obsessed with British model, Agyness Deyn!
Agyness, currently 27, lives in England and is signed to several modelling agencies. She has appeared in advertisements for various brands including Burberry, Giorgio Armani, and Vivienne Westwood.

I am extremely jealous of how she can drastically change her hair colour or style and make it look amazing. She has that quirky look that only she can pull off. She has beautiful eyes that naturally draw you in.

Check out her blog if you're interested!

Nail Polish
I absolutely love collecting nail polish. I get so much pleasure each time I buy a new one! I thought that it would be fun to list my favourites as of now but I have to say my taste is always changing. I'll try to keep updating because the list will change with the trends and the seasons.
OPI
-Malaga Wine:

This is a great colour for fall and winter because it's a beautiful deep red. It's a rich berry polish that I think is perfect for a night out or on toes.
-Tickly my France-y: (what I have on now)

This would have to be my favourite neutral colour I've tried. I have to admit, I was a little nervous when I bought this because I tend to go for the usual pink nail polishes. You need about 2-3 coats to really see the colour but it looks amazing on. The colour is a milky brown and it is perfect for any skin tone and for any occasion.
Essie
-Neo Whimsical:
It looks like a light pink at first but when you look closely you can definitely see the touch of lilac it has. This is one of my favourites because it's different from a light pink which makes it fun to wear but it's also light enough to make it easy to wear. It's similar to OPI's Pandamonium Pink.-California Coral:
SO much fun to wear! I always wear this colour on my nails when I'm on holiday or even when I feel like wearing a bright colour. The name is exactly what it looks like: an orangey coral with a hint of pink. This is definitely my go to summer colour.
-Sole Mate:
Perfect for fall! It's a darker purple that I would describe as being a mix of burgundy or plum-like. I love wearing this on my toes and I really like how it looks with my light skin tone.Favourite Stores
Here's my list and explanation of my top five favourite stores that I enjoy shopping at:
1) Forever 21
Who doesn't love this store? Everything is extremely cheap and they have such a huge variety. Personally, I think that their clothes are better in the summer and that the winter selection doesn't appeal to me as much. The only annoying thing about Forever 21 is how busy the store gets on weekends. This is when I usually go and I find that it takes SO long to get into a fitting room and then you have to wait FOREVER to pay. Although it's always hectic, this store will always be a top choice. My favourite items from here are their graphic t-shirts, dresses, and shorts.
2) H&M
Definitely my favourite store at the moment. I find that my style is always changing but I ALWAYS find things I like there. I just went last weekend and bought this navy blue lace shirt and I can't wait to wear it. H&M also has a relatively good price point and the quality of their clothing is also pretty good. There is always such a huge selection and the clothes are so much fun to wear! My favourite items from here are their skirts, shirts, and all of the accessories.
3) Zara
Zara doesn't necessarily have the most "exciting" clothing but they always have the perfect staple pieces. I would say that the selection is simple and somewhat preppy, in a good way. The quality of the clothing is pretty good so if you take care of everything you buy, it should last forever. I've bought sweaters that I have had for years and haven't a) gone out of style and b) fallen apart. The price point is pretty similar to H&M, not cheap but not hundreds of dollars for a pair of jeans. My favourite items from here are their cardigans and blazers.
4) Urban Outfitters
The majority of the clothing is quite expensive here but I find that everything is original. This isn't the store that you go to when you want to replace your whole wardrobe but instead you go to and find one special piece. Similar to Zara, the quality is relatively good so even though it's not very cheap, it will last you a long time. My favourite pieces from here are definitely their dresses and t-shirts.
5) Mendocino
I would say this is definitely the store that most represents my style. Again, it's pretty expensive so I don't get to shop here a lot but it's fun to go to if you need an outfit for a special occasion. The style has a lot of glitter and always incorporates the latest trends. The clothes have fun details that make the store exciting and different in my opinion. My favourite things to buy here are the fancy tops and the dresses.
