My DIY Halloween Stormtrooper Costume

Hey guys! So this is how my DIY Stormtrooper costume turned out.

There was suppose to be more faux white leather detail on my outfit but I had a lot of problems trying to put everything together (fake leather does not have any stretch to it, so I tried sewing the leather patches on while I was wearing the black top and skirt...when I was done I than realized that I couldn't take them off my body because the top and skirt didn't have zippers. I have to un-stitch everything) . I ended up just hot gun gluing majority of it on to myself lol. Near the end of the night, it all fell off. =(


I got my inspiration from an etsy seller ShhCoutureLatx & the image on the left was what my costume was suppose to look like if I managed to glue/sew everything on. I thought it turned out pretty decent in the end. =)

Avocado Toast


Here is a quick and easy breakfast idea that I enjoy. Toasted Brown toast, 1 sunny side up egg, a few slices of avocado, olive oil drizzle & salt and pepper of course. Enjoy =)

September Fav's

Here are my September fav's.

1. Clinique Rinse Off Foaming Cleanser.



This is just a sample that I found under my sink when I ran out of my normal face wash. I didn't think much of it but when I first washed my face with it...I was AMAZED! I used a pea size amount on my silicone face washer thingy and OMG! It was more than enough! The cleanser kept foaming and foaming every time I rubbed my face. It felt so luxurious. I'm definitely glad that I found this gen underneath my sink, I'm definitely going to buy more.

2. Hall Vitamin D in Tropical Pineapple


I got really sick at the end of the month and I needed something to sooth my throat, I saw these at Walmart and picked up a few bags because it was so darn cute. Not only do I love the mini zippy bag but I love the taste! Also! The middle white part gets cold on your tongue.

3. Marc Jacobs OH, LOLA

Been rocking this scent this entire month.

4 & 5. Guess Faux Leather Sleeve Tee and Leather Ankle Booties.


I've been seriously wearing this shirt everyday...it's sorta gross but...it's just so soft and comfy. I actually wasn't a big fan of these booties, I got it because I have been looking for a pair of black booties for a long time and I wasn't willing to dish out $300 for a pair of booties...SO I settled for these because I get discount on it and to be honest, they are pretty darn comfy & I have grown to love these. I rock them more that my Kate & Mel booties now.

6.  J. Crew Crystal Bracelet


Look how pretty this is!!!

New Frames


Hey guys! Last Sunday I got my eye prescription updated & my eyesight changed so dramatically (-3.25 to -4.00) that I needed a new pair of classes.  Well, there was a promotion going on at ClearlyContact.ca that the first fee frame you order is free. Well...I told advantage of that deal for sure. 

So since my frame was free, all I had to pay was my lens & it only came to $90. Try comparing that price to lenscrafter ($300ish just for the LENS!).  

Anyways, I placed my order on the 9th and it came in today! It only took 2 days to receive! 


I got lens cleaner, cloth & a screw keychain! How handy is that!? 

What's also cool about the site, it that you can virtually tray on the frames by uploading a picture of you on the site and put in the PD measurements, and the frame is automatically proportioned on your face. 

I got the Derek Cardigan 7010 in Smoke, the price was originally $89. The smoke color is quite unique, it's like a sheer brownish gray. I'm really pleased with my new frames, they don't feel cheap & flimsy.

Not a Ring Person

I just realized that I am not a ring person.



I really love rings! I like how those trendy girls stack on rings on every finger...I just like the look and the idea of finger accessory but I cannot wear it myself.

Here are the reasons that I cannot rock rings.
1. Cheap rings turn my finger green.
2. They suffocate my fingers.
3. When I hold stuff, it pinches my skin.
4. Washing my hands are a pain in the butt. I have to remove all the rings or the water will tarnish the ring and turn my finger green.
5. it's a pain in the butt to take off rings when your fingers get fat from the heat.
6. Putting on lotion sucks. I have to take off the ring again or the lotion will get stuck in the details of the ring.
7. When my hands get sweaty...it just feels gross.

I have tried many times to wear rings, in fact I buy a lot of  cute rings but end up wearing them once because it's such a hassle. (#firstworldproblems)

I'm a School Girl Now

Has anyone else having Blogger problems? Like the page won't load fully when you want to write a new post? I been dealing with it by refreshing the page like a million times & it's starting to get annoying.

ANYWAYS. I'm officially back at Sait and in my Business program again. I've been out of school for a year now & now I'm back! I was suppose to have 6 course!!! but I cut it down to 3. I am currently taking Business Law, Personal Fiance & Macroeconomics. I went to all of the classes today & I must say, I'm really excited about my Finance and BLAW class. I have a feeling that I'm gonna take a lot of what I'm gonna learn from these classes and apply it to my everyday life.

I'm not to excited about Macroeconomics because I have to interact with my class mates and do a group project and power point. *sign* I hate being social sometimes haha and I hate presenting stuff in front of class.

But yea...Guess what I learned in my BLAW class! I learned that when you hire a lawyer, they cannot be forced to give out their clients info ( things that the clients tell their lawyers) even under oath. Pretty darn interesting.

I also found out that for every month that I am at Sait, I get $400 reduced from my income tax!!! and part time students get $150. I did not know that.

Sweet Mustard Chicken

Hey guys, so I made dinner last night using Chef Johns Sweet and Hot Mustard Chicken recipe. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch8-5XLXRew) &&& this is how it turned out.


I completely forgot to lay the chicken on top of the onions, so I thought I would throw in some onions at the end & use the heat from the oven to cook it...didn't work, the onions were still rare lol.


Made some asparagus wrapped prosciutto as a side dish & served everything on white rice.


The chicken was really good, Chef Johns recipes never disappoints!

Oh My Dog!

Ugh. The quality of my Iphone 4 pictures seem to get worst by the day (#firstworldproblems). 

Moving on, there is a new hot dog joint that opened in the deep South of Calgary & it's called Oh My Dog ( 1-208 Midpark Way SE) &&&...It was truly amazing. 

Dan found out about it from his co-workers & wanted to bring me there <3.


Dan got the Mac & Cheese hot dog while I got the Pulled Pork & Coleslaw hotdog. We ended up cutting our hot dogs in half and sharing it because we are just that cute =P.

The Mac & Cheese hot dog was good but the Pulled Pork was way better! It was really messy and DELICIOUS!

Guess Chinook

Have you guys noticed that I own a lot of Guess product? Well...that's because I work for Guess. (obviously guys.) Anyways, I recently started a IG for my store, it's called GuessChinook so follow. I post pictures daily of outfits that I create and random products, also I've been recently trying to take pictures of my coworkers and their OOTDs. I don't get paid extra  for it...NBD, I'm doing it because it's fun.

Check out some of the pictures I've taken.

My YouTube Channel

So as of last Sunday, I've figured out what I want to do with my Youtube Channel. I'm gonna use it to share my experiences through videos with my friends and family. Pretty much like homemade movies but viral. So, I ended up deleting my 2 videos that were previously uploaded onto my channel & started fresh. =)



I'm a little bummed out that mt video quality isn't that great when I uploaded it.

So last Sunday, there was a festival going on in Marda Loop so me and some friends decided to check it out. The whole day consist of us eating and chilling in the sun. OH! And we found the cutest little homemade lemonade stand across from a big lemonade stand.

Random Sunday

Hey guys! This is what I did on Sunday. 

Me & Dan walked along 17th to Freak Lunchbox to pick up a bag on candy.


I love candy! I joke with my coworkers saying that I'm the worst person to ask for Advil or pads or whatever because all I carry around in my bag is candy.


OOTD! Wow, I haven't posted an ootd in awhile. I asked Dan to take a picture of me & I felt super camera shy because I didn't want him to make fun of me.

Denim Top: Aritzia
Skull Tee: Aritzia
Leopard Shorts: Guess
Handbag: Guess
Shoes: Converse

We ended up walking all the way to 10th ave for ice cream. 


I got super excited when Village Ice cream tweeted, that they had black sesame ice cream. I love the black sesame ice cream at Yamato's but you only get it if you buy cake and eat it at the cafe. Unfortunately, Village's black sesame ice cream just doesn't compare to Yamato's.   


Saw this cute bicycle on the way back. I want a bike like this so bad.  

We headed down to Princess Island Park to check out the Peace Bridge. Can you believe that we never crossed over it since it was built?


We did a lot of walking on Sunday. For dinner, we walked to the end of Kensington to Shawarma King. I got a chicken wrap. 


We than walked home to get our running gear on & jogged back to the Peace Bridge and around Princess Island Park. We did our first 5km run! & it took us 39mins to do it!
