Hi everyone!
So I've been pretty busy, with the midterms ending...finals creeping up, and projects left right and center. Somebody told me that in Fourth year everything gets easier...so SO wrong. I don't know what's going on at every other school, but Waterloo....is killing me! All I have to remember is....one more year :) Until i get out of here.
So while I was studying, I did some damage on my credit card. Cuz that's apparently, how I relieve stress.
I just recently splurged on a new pair of sunglasses, cuz every girl needs a good pair of sunglasses, am I right?
Bought them here: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tom-ford-charles-aviator-sunglasses/2926834?origin=keywordsearch&resultback=0

Loose Buttons - Luxe Box Review
Hi Guys,
For those of you in Canada, and the States, a company started by a graduate from my University, Loose Button (loosebutton.com), started a "Birchbox" like sample service. The jist of it is that you pay about 10 dollar a month, to get 3-5 "deluxe sample" items. Sounds good rite? Wrong. I got my "Limited Edition" Luxe Box, and I could not be more disappointed. The packaging was really pretty, BUT the samples were TINY. Smaller than what Sephora gives out for free, and mostly from brands that I have never heard of, in my life.
I'll show pictures later to prove my case. Ugh, I just feel so SCAMMED :(.
Okay, as promised lol, an update on HOW BAD the "Luxe Box" is.
K. Spoiler alert! If...you don't want to see it, don't scroll down...

P.S i'm recently lusting over these GORGEOUS asos heels. Do you think it would be appropriate for work? I'm on coop starting in May :), working in Toronto woot woot.

ASOS Review
So, I just made my first purchase at ASOS.com, and I received the orders a few days ago. The shipping is FREE worldwide, and I took total advantage of that :)
The items I purchased were:
http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Mini-Bug-Short-Pendant-Necklace/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1371351&SearchQuery=bug%20necklace&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Gold
My take: Really cute! However, it showed up with one of the crystals missing out of the bottom wing. Otherwise, it's a really cute necklace.
http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-High-Waist-Seam-Detail-Pencil-Skirt/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1075852&cid=3149&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=20&sort=3&clr=Honey
My take: Nice basic skirt for work, however, the material was really good but VERY thin. I ordered a UK 8 (size 4 US), and it fits just like H&M sizes.
I actually bought another dress, but I can't find it on the website anymore. The sizing was pretty off though, I ordered a UK 8 again, but somehow I think that it fit more like a UK 10-12 (US size 6-8).
Anyways, if you haven't checked out ASOS.com, definitely give it a go! It's got the most fashion straight off the runways at very affordable prices!

Taking a Breathe
*Breathe in*
AHH! It's the smell of spring approaching!
And what's a girl to do but fanticize about the clothes she's going to wear as soon as the spring hits?

First Post?
Hey everyone!
My name is Cecilia, i'm currently 21 years old, and I'm studying at....well, what's the fun in telling you where I'm studying? Need to keep the mystery here! In any case, I am currently enrolled at a coop business program at a University in Ontario, Canada.
I've always had an interest in fashion, because, as cheesy as it sounds, I think it's the most authentic work of art, because we live, and breathe it everyday.
The intention of this blog, I guess is to mostly share my fashion point of view, and other random nonsense.
Stay tuned!
