Stylish Sweats.

Dynamite sweater; American Eagle tee and jeans; Spring boots

Sweats can be stylish. In moderation ladies, in moderation. Here are my tips for making a sweater a little more stylish:

• Make sure there's some structure to the garment. The added belt to this sweater synchs my waist and provides some definition.
• Add some fun accessories. I added my favourite watch and a long necklace. 
• Next, you want to make sure you're wearing appropriate shoes. Wear something with a bit of interest to keep the outfit from looking way too casual. I added my knee-high black boots to bring the outfit from fairly casual to a little more put-together. 
• Lastly, do not pair two sweats (i.e. sweater & sweat pants). Maybe in the comfort of your own home, but not if you're leaving the house. There's no way that this look is ever stylish. 

Just my two cents :)

Do you think sweats can be stylish?

Review: Hana Titanium 1.5" Flat Iron

A couple weeks back I was contacted by someone at Misikko to provide a review for the HANA Titanium 1.5" hair straightener*. Being someone who straightens my hair just about every day means I'm always looking for something good-quality and long-lasting.

Pretty packaging.

The Beast. 

I can't attest to how long the HANA straightener will last, but I can say that I have never ever used a straightener of better quality. The titanium plates glide across your hair with such ease that you're not constantly re-straightening the same section of hair over, and over, and over. I've had my share of those straighteners too...

Before Pictures: 
(I just blow-dried my hair)

After: 

What's also really great about the Titanium is that it curls wonderfully. Another thing I look for in a hair straightener is the ability for it to curl my hair as well as straighten it, and this flat iron performs.

I know you've all seen other bloggers go on about how great the HANA products are, but it's true. I would give this straightener a 10/10 in my books. It's quick to heat up, easy to use, versatile, gets super hot, and glides wonderfully across my hair. I have zero complains or aspects that I would change about this straightener.

I 100% recommend this straightener and you can get it here from Misikko. They also sell other HANA Salon straightener models and CHI flat irons.

Tights & socks.

F21 dress & socks; Costco blazer; Spring boots; Walmart tights; Smart Set necklace

I wore this outfit out one night to a friend's birthday party. The tights & knee-high socks added a little sex-appeal to the outfit without showing much skin. This striped dress was an awesome Forever 21 find - $13.50. I couldn't say no. I didn't really want to wear these boots, but to be honest, it was still too cold to forgo the boots that day...

Tomorrow's St. Patrick's day! Hope everyone has plans to enjoy themselves (be safe!). Me, I'm excited for this weekend and the temperatures reaching almost 20 degrees C. Hello t-shirt, here I come! Let's not jinx it now....

Knit & Cognac.

This cognac belt is my favourite part of the outfit. Well, I guess both the belt and the knit sweater. And maybe the boots... :)

These photos were taken on the weekend. We've had a huge thaw since and there is nearly no snow left on the ground. I'm sure a bunch of you find this hard to believe since you've really only seen my blog with snow, but I promise you grass does exist around these parts of the world!  And hopefully you'll get to see it soon.

EBEW: Rockin' The Green.

Winners jeans; GAP cardigan; Tommy Hilfiger (men's) shirt via Costco; F21 pants; Fossil watch

A few things today:
1. I'm channeling my inner spring: colours, cuffed pants, rolled-up sleeves. Yes, please. I can't wait until I can actually wear an outfit like this out of the house without a jacket.

2. I'm debuting my new watch - it's Fossil's "Stella" model in rose gold. I was going between regular gold and rose gold but decided that I love this colour of rose gold. It's not too pink which is exactly what I was looking for. I still need to get links taken out of it though, because it's pretty darn big as it is.

3. I'm linking this outfit up with EBEW's Green challenge! I think it's so fitting considering St. Patty's day is coming up this weekend and all... Anyone have any crazy plans?

 

Country girl.

Costco (men's) shirt; American Eagle jeans; Dynamite belt; Payless boots

Sometimes I can't feel any better than I do wearing a man's shirt.
Well, maybe I can.
But today I can't.
Today, the men's shirt is doing it for me and I feel fiiiine.

I'm definitely channelling a country vibe with this outfit. The plaid paired with cognac definitely adds to the country background. I'm no longer a city dweller and I think it's starting to show. Hopefully you won't be seeing me in a trucker hat and farmer boots anytime soon. Just kidding! ... Maybe...
