Perfect S-Waves using the NuMe 25mm Curling wand

I have never been a master are doing my hair, but these lose waves are seriously the easiest hairstyle you can do! Its perfect for every occasion, date night, walking around the city, or even an event. It only takes me a few minutes to style !

The first thing I do is brush my hair! You want to start of with hair that is knot free because it just makes the whole process of styling your hair easier. I just use any regular paddle brush, this one is from Forever 21.  just make sure you start brushing from the bottom and work your way up to prevent any damage to your hair!

I then section my hair off because I like working on small sections and this keeps things a little bit neater ! I use a scrunchy to tie up my hair because it it easier to take on an off than an elastic is, as it's also  less likely to get caught in your hair. (ouch!)

To curl my hair I am using the NuMe 25mm curling wand. I've always avoided curling wands mainly because they don't have a clamp. I don't like the idea of having my hand so close to something so hot (i'm clumsy and uncoordinated ok..) But this wand Heats up so quickly and makes curling my hair a breeze. I can style my entire head in less than 10 minutes which is perfect when you are trying to get ready in the morning !

when curling my hair I pull all the hair forward (from the section that is down) I like to take small one inch sections and wrap it around the barrel, away from my face and holding it for about 10 seconds (my natural hair is straight and stubborn). I then let that piece drop and bring it to the back of my head, so that it's out of the way! I do that for the rest of my hair. I don't use the glove it comes with to hold my hair because I find it difficult to grab the hair properly, and it always slips out of my fingers. just be careful not to burn the tips of your fingers when holding the hair close to the barrel.

When all of my hair is curled I like to look at all of my hair and see if there are any pieces that need a bit more curling, If so then I just re-curl them to match the rest of the hair! You don't have to make it perfect because its suppose to be lose anyway so if some pieces are more structured than others thats ok ! 

Of course you have to set the hair so I use a little bit of hairspray, not too much because the weight can weigh down the hair and straighten out the curls. I like so use Sebastian Shaper Plus hairspray, its been a favourite of mine for a couple of years! It really holds the hairstyle and I love the scent (it smells a lot like sunscreen)

And thats it ! That is how you create these loose S-waves, i've been wearing this hairstyle a lot lately. I love how its not a tight curls and it looks a bit more natural and carefree than standard tight ringlets. I hope you guys like this look and if you want to see a video demo on how I do this hairstyle click here!  If you try this look out make sure you send me a picture on twitter or tag me on instagram so that I can see it !  :) 

Blue Fur

Faux fur has been all over the place this winter ! especially coloured fur which has been one of my favourite ways to wear it, it's such a fun way to wear colour and add a bit of interest to an outfit. For this outfit I am wearing this blue black and grey fur scarf which I think is such a great statement piece over a plain black coat. I really wanted the fur scarf to be the main focus of the outfit so I draped it over my shoulders and cinched it in with a belt to give the outfit a bit more shape. I kept the rest of the outfit fairly minimal with black shorts (and grey tights underneath)  and a plain white turtleneck for warmth. I grabbed a some sunglasses and a metallic silver clutch and headed out the door. I hope your guys like this outfit, whats your favourite way to wear (faux) fur ? 

Varsity Sweater

I've been on the hunt for the perfect varsity sweater and I think I finally found it ! This emerald green sweater is from Forever 21 (currently on sale, link below !) it is so warm which is perfect for Canadian winters and it also comes in two other colours, which i am not going to lie... I also bought haha. I layered this sweater over a white turtleneck which I think is a nice break from layering over a chiffon blouse (my go-to) This is definitely a warmer option haha, and I also love the effect it gives with the triangle shape collar from the sweater. I wore it with one of my favourite high waisted black shorts, I just love the shape these shorts give! To add some interest I wore some polka dot tights and a tiger patch pin which I have been super into lately !!  For a pop of colour I added a bright red clutch ! which I think is the perfect accessory ! I've been trying to experiment a bit with the styles I wear and I think this is a step in the direction I want to go in. I've been obsessed with Model of duty looks and fashion from the 70's, i've been finding so much inspiration lately from my surroundings I can't wait to share it with you guys ! :)

Love Beret | A Valentines Day Inspired Outfit

It is that time of the year, Valentines day is here again! It is actually one of my favourite holidays.....although I feel like I say that about every holiday haha. I love Valentines day because I love the idea of celebrating love and taking the time to make the day special. For this outfit I decided to go for a more subtle Valentines Day look. I am wearing this lips sweater from Forever 21, which is currently still in stores!  and on sale! check out the link below. I layered the sweater over a white chiffon blouse just so that I have a little bit of white peaking through to break up the outfit. I paired it with a plain pleated black skirt and Fishnet tights to give the outfit some interest. I also wore one of my favourite coats ! I love how simple it is because it matches basically every outfit. And for my favourite part of the outfit, the beret!  I found this love brooch at H&M they are made up of individual letters so you can set it up however you want ! I decided to put them on a red beret and I LOVE (pun intended) how it looks! If you want to see this outfit in video I also posted a clip of it on my youtube channel ! link here. I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend, make sure you check out my Instagram for more pictures over the weekend !

Spring Colours in the Winter

Happy February ! Its crazy that January is already over, every year time goes faster and faster which is a constant reminder that we should  make the most of it ! The start of February usually means we are in the midpoint of winter! and let me tell you I am ready to wear some lighter jackets haha. As stores clear out their winter items you are starting to see some spring pieces come in, which is what inspired this look. I find that in the winter most people (myself included) tend to wear darker colours and stay away from bright colours. Maybe its because most "fast fashion" stores don't carry much colour... finding a bright coloured coat is a lot harder than it seems.  For this look I am wearing these bold Mustard Yellow pants with a cozy white cashmere sweater, you have probably see this sweater on repeat on my blog because it's one of my favourite pieces to wear  (let me know if you want to see a 'most worn items post') For an extra pop of colour I went for a light blue coat, I love the combination of Light blue and yellow ! I think the colours looks so great together. And of course would my outfit be complete without a beret? I added a cream coloured one to tie the outfit together. This outfit was perfect for going to a cafe and sipping on a cappuccino, if you want to see some day-to-day pictures make sure you follow me on instagram!
