The Long Story


Dress: Target, Sandals: Target, Necklace: Urban Outfitters, Headband: Target, Sunglasses: RayBan Wayfarers, Watch: Citizen.

I went out last night to shop for a new camera and to grab some ice cream with my boyfriend. I ended up wearing quite a few new items that I purchased last week. I have decided that I officially love this dress; it is so comfortable and a nice change from the usual short sundresses, and the tribal print is just so cute and summery. This was also the first time I wore my new Wayfarers and I absolutely love them.

On another note, I am in the market for a new camera and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Also, I have been noticing that blogger compresses all of my photos so much that the quality is really decreased, and I wonder if it would be worth it to get a new camera if the photos are going to be compressed so much anyway? If anyone has advice I would love to hear it!

Reebok RunTones


On my third day in Las Vegas I headed to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets in search of the items on my shopping list. I decided to wear heels that day and after walking to find the bus stop and riding the bus for an hour, my feet were pretty tired. I decided to make my first stop at the Reebok outlet store to check out the RunTone shoes. My mom has had the EasyTone shoes for a few months and told me she has noticed a difference, so I decided to give the running version a try. I found my size in the RunTones and they were so comfortable that I decided to wear them for the remainder of my shopping trip. According to the product information I received, the shoes have "8 pods of moving air that force your muscles to work harder; encourages increased muscle activation, toning, strength and endurance" and "tone your calves, hamstrings and butt with every stride". I wanted to take them out for a run today but decided to give my body a day of a rest after returning from Vegas, so I wore them out walking my dog instead. I definitely felt a difference in my legs and butt, especially in my calves. I will be sure to post on the long term toning effects.

Online Shopping Guide Part I

Online shopping with shopping cart

Woman with shopping bag

Being from a medium sized city in Western Canada that isn't exactly known for its fashion and abundance of shopping options, I do 90% of my shopping online. I like to have unique looks without running the risk of seeing someone in the exact same outfit that can be picked up at one of the few malls in the city. That being said, many American online stores are starting to recognize us Canucks north of the border and are offering affordable shipping to Canada. Over the next little while I am going to compile a list and review for some of my favourite online shopping sites that ship to Canada. Below is one of my favourites.



What can be better than hundreds of designers in the same place, helpful customer reviews, online coupon codes, great customer service and free shipping to Canada? Not much in my opinion. Revolve Clothing is my go-to website for denim, accessories, shoes and apparel. Whenever I hear about the newest denim craze, the first place I look is at Revolve because they are sure to have it. Revolve's site is easy to navigate; with options to shop by brand, category, sale items, new items and trends. Revolve is customer friendly in the way that it allows customers to create honest reviews on their products, which is very helpful for me when I'm not able to go to a physical store to try on a item. Revolve even has an outlet called Reverse where you can find their designer clothing for less. I must also mention that Revolve has incredible customer service. I have ordered from them handfuls of times and only once have I had to contact them regarding an order. An item was bagged incorrectly and I received the wrong denim leggings. I emailed Revolve with photos of the incorrect item and an explanation and they responded to me within 1/2 hour with a solution. They paid for the return shipping and I received the proper item within a week and a half. Be sure to check out Revolve for your next online shopping fix. They stock new items daily so there is always something new. Don't forget to look online for coupon codes!
