Hey guys!! This look has be hanging out on my laptop for sooo long now (you can tell by the fresh snow I was walking in). I think it’s finally time to share since spring is almost here and you’ll judge my procrastination even more if I wait any longer. I’ve been wearing a lot of all black looks lately because 1. I love wearing black 2. It’s easy to wear and style when I’m rushing to school and 3. It was my way of making sure I could be found in all the snow we were getting buried in. Continue reading →

Hey guys! Wow it’s been forever since I last blogged!! Im back in hell…school so it’s been harder to find the time to blog. I’m trying to get back to it and manage my time better which is why I’m back this week with a DIY. Back when I shared my Christmas gift guide, I talked about these pom pom keychains that I was seeing everywhere. I still think they’re adorable so I went out looking for some to buy and wtf?! They are so over priced!! I was not down to pay any of the prices I saw so I decided that they looked pretty simple and that I could probably figure out a way to make them….so I did.

Hey guys! Happy New Year!! We’re 7 days in already. How are you doing? Have you managed to keep your resolutions so far? I don’t usually make resolutions.

I’ve made a few beauty and fashion resolutions that I thought I’d share. Let’s see how long I can keep them up. Continue reading →

It’s Friday, December 18th, that means only one week until Christmas!! That sentence either a) excited you and made you jump for joy or b) struck fear and panic into your soul! (Ok, probably wasn’t that dramatic but you know what I mean). If you experienced option a), then high five because me and you both finished our Christmas shopping already! (I’m particularly excited about being done early because it’s the first time ever and I’m pretty proud of myself, snaps for me!). If you experienced option b) you are a last minute shopper! You’ll be wandering around the mall with that ‘O Ma gawd’ look on your face. But don’t worry, I’ve been there many times, so this year I’m here for you. Continue reading →

A Walking Ad

Remember in the last post how I said that now of all times I’m loving wearing skirts and dresses? Yaaaa, I wasn’t joking. Here I am in a sleeveless dress like it’s May and not mid December (YAY for the above zero temperatures we’ve been having!!). I still need to remind myself that its cold and winter dressing time. I could’ve been a little warmer in this look but I was pretty comfortable thanks to some secret layering tricks. Want to know what they are? (I ask like I’m not just about to tell you anyway).

Hey friends! Hope you’ve all had a great Monday, or at least a bearable one. I’m finally doing my first beauty post! No longer will that beauty menu tab lead to an empty content page. Slow clap for me!

So for this first beauty post, I wanted to share one of my latest obsessions; the negative space mani. I have been nonstop re-pinning pictures of these manicures on Pinterest and they’ve quickly become a favourite nail look of mine this season. Continue reading →

My Top 5 Favourite Things About Fall Fashion

/ coraliescloset / 3 Comments

This is my first official fall post, so I put together this look that I felt was pretty appropriate for fall considering the colours and fabrics of the pieces I styled together. If we’re considering the fact that this “sweater” (can I even call it that?) is sleeveless and that I’m wearing sandals, then maybe it’s not so fall appropriate but we do get those random days where the weather is quite co-operative. If not, you could easily add on a jacket and swap out the sandals for some ankle booties.

About three weeks ago, my boyfriend surprised me by renting these super cute bikes for us to ride around the city on our anniversary. I’ve been wanting to do so forever so I was really excited to finally be getting it done! I think there are a couple of companies in the city that do public bike rentals, but now that I’ve seen how cute  these bikes are and how easy it was to rent with Right Bike, I’ll definitely be sticking with them.

Can we just have a moment of silence for the summer that was. I could just cry thinking of the cold ahead. I do love fall though! Fall fashion is definitely my fave, but let’s be real, fall in Ottawa is more like a fling. Winter is the real commitment if you ask me. I’m sending off the summer by sharing with you some of the newest beauty and fashion items I’ve purchased this summer.  Continue reading →
