For one, I absolutely adore the fit of it. It has a more fitted silhouette which I definitely look for in jackets as I’d like for people to be able to see that I have a waist, even in the winter. I also actually really enjoy the deep, sack pockets which is ESSENTIAL for me because it means I can throw my phone, wallet, keys, lip balm, and coin purse in there and completely bypass wearing a purse. All I have to do is reach into my pockets and everything is there! 

The last thing that I really love about this parka is the longer back side! I find the longer, asymmetrical shape of the parka is actually flattering, especially since in the front it still looks like such a good length. 

The parka definitely saved me a LOT that day considering it was freakin’ FREEZING by the waters. Been wearing it almost every day since I got it and really been loving the versatility of it. I still love my taupe coloured Oskar parka from Aritzia but I’ve got to say, the black is so easy to wear I actually find that I reach for it more. Been seeing more and more Canada goose parkas on the streets of Vancouver lately as winter progresses. But who says you need to drop bills for a great parka?

I didn’t think I would get so invested in bombers again but I’ve pretty much been living in them this season. The Kanaka bomber from Aritzia is another one I’ve been frequenting lately. As I’ve been pretty much only going to three places lately (school, work, gym) it’s been the perfect jacket to throw over any casual outfit. 

I paired the jacket with a thin black turtleneck and my mid-rise Rocket Ventanas. The other trend that I’ve been guilty of repeating over and over again lately is the tight turtlenecks. I’m actually OBSESSED because they’re so easy to wear and style. Not to mention warm and comfortable too. Can’t believe I’ve never owned any before this season. The Huet shirt from Aritzia has been my favourite one so far. 

What pieces have you been consistently reaching for this season?

So of course nice weather = bare legs. That’s a given right? Been loving this skirt from Rose Wholesale, one of the inexpensive trendy clothes retailers that I mentioned in an earlier post. I originally wanted to buy the Aritzia denim skirt that they came out with in the summer BUT considering this one was less than half the price…I made a smarter buy. 

I’ve been wearing this skirt to death with every variety of top you can think of. This black tight shirt that’s from Zara ($20!!) and my Aritzia Talula tight turtleneck have been my go-tos for this type of weather. When it’s a little bit warmer I opt for a silky camisole or a basic t-shirt. 

And then of course booties are a must in the fall whether or not its chilly out. Been wearing my Raya boots from Public Desire the most out of all my booties! The heel height is a littler higher than I am used to for booties but I’ve been getting more and more used to wearing heels (YAY ME!). 

This has been one of my go-to “trendy” fall outfits this september. I throw this on whenever I feel the need to look the part of a blogger. Fake it ’til you make it right? HA. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this outfit! 

More soon,

So this is the first look I’m creating with my Makeup Geek eyeshadows. I’ve always loved warm colours, so these shadows, and this look, are pretty much what my signature look would look like.

I’m so glad I finally decided to pick up the infamous Makeup Geek eyeshadows. After hearing countless different beauty gurus talk about them, I finally had a little extra cash to spend, and voila ! Here I am, with 5 new gorgeous eyeshadows to play with.

I’ve also been pretty consistent with wearing falsies lately. I used to wear them everyday, but I stopped for a solid 2-3 years or so, just because I felt like it was too heavy for everyday. However, as I’ve started to make videos more consistently, as well as just wear a full face of make up more often, I just don’t feel right sometimes, leaving the house without them. I’m getting through my collection pretty quickly though, might need to order some new ones soon. Most of the falsies I own currently are ones that I bought while I was in China, so I don’t really want to be recommending them to you because I’m honestly not sure where you can purchase them here. BUT when I actually do start restocking my collection (probably from Ebay) I will be sure to review all of the ones I purchase for you guys.

I’ve put the video tutorial I made for this look down below, as per usual, so if you’re interested in how I achieved this look with my new Makeup Geek eyeshadows than go and check that out ! Also, if you want to find out more about Makeup Geek eyeshadows and the shades that I picked up, along with swatches and everything, check out the post I wrote about it here.
