New Boots and a boxing day purchase

Posted on January 10, 2011December 21, 2014 by Elaine
I have so far been keeping up with my 2nd resolution posted here by taking pictures of outfits everyday.
Ok, ok I’m lying.  I’m only taking pictures on the days I actually get dressed LOL.  Honestly, yesterday I don’t think I changed out of my PJ’s at all except to go out for a couple hours.  And then I just threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater since I wasn’t going to be taking my coat off.  So my resolution will be tweaked to taking pictures when I actually get dress 😉
Here is an outfit from the other day featuring my new boots from Miz Mooz and one of my boxing day purchases from Simons which is a department store in Quebec.
Top:  Twik from Simons XS/TP
Belt:  Danier
Jeans:  Gap Always Skinny Cropped 00 (no longer online similar here)
Boots:  Miz Mooz Gayle sz 7 (from Haute Look)
Back view of the boots
They can also be folded down
They’re not PERFECT and I prefer them with jeans than with a dress but the gap isn’t too bad at the calves. I do love them though the leather is just so buttery and soft and they’re really comfortable to wear!  I can go all day at work and I’m good (I usually wear flats on the weekends).
And I apologize,  I just realized I should’ve measured them for everyone!   I will try to do that this week and edit this post afterwards.

    ooh, I love the boots! That is so great that they have the option of folding down. I’ve never seen that before. I have a pair of foldover boots that I’ve been forgetting to wear, I need to pull them out again!

    Really great boots.

    There were some great grey boots I was drooling over on ModCloth but they sold out.

    Seriously depressed.

    Your boots are lovely!

    That’s awesome that you found such versatile boots that you can cuff. When cuffed, I think they look better with leggings, but that’s just me. LOL. Anyways, great purchase and I’m looking forward to your giveaway! Congrats on your 100 followers! =)

    I love the color of your new boots…they appear to be a grayish-brown, so it seems that they can go with either black or brown.

    These boots are fantastic! I love how you can fold them down too and they look great with jeans. I also love this top from Simons. I always feel more comfortable in longer tops when I wear skinny jeans, and this one is right up my alley. Looking good!

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!

If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or met me in person for like 5 mins!), you’ve heard about my love for @lezethelabel 🤩

This brand is phenomenal. I love every piece of theirs that I own and wear a Lezé item almost every day. 

@lezethelabel is:

✅ WOC founded 
✅ Canadian
✅ Ethically produced 
✅ Sustainably made using innovative fabrics (like 🌽 or material made from recycled fishing nets!) 
✅ THE COMFIEST 
✅ Designed for real bodies! (Big pockets, lots of stretch, extended sizing)

The humans in charge are also incredibly kind and generous. ❤️

➡️ Since it can be hard to figure out sizing when purchasing online, I put together this little lookbook for you. Basically, I wear a L in their items made from their recycled fishing net fabric, but an XL in the corn, since they’re a little closer to the body and I like a baggier fit in that fabric. I typically wear a size 14. 

If you’re interested, check them out! And feel free to use my discount code (TORONTOBEAUTYREVIEWS15) for 15% off! 🔗 in bio. 😊

Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃 If you’r Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃

If you’re in the market for a new eye cream, I highly recommend checking out @sahajanskincare’s Golden Glow Eye Balm. ✨ It’s formulated with ghee (!) and feels sooooo silky and gorgeous. This powerhouse ingredient has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine, and for good reason! This eye balm is mega hydrating but feels light and melts right into your skin 🤩 

In addition to ghee, it also includes rose oil and eyebright - these high-performance ingredients work together to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. 

This Canadian brand is WOC-founded, and products are cruelty-free as well as eco-friendly. 🇨🇦🐇🌍

Have you tried @sahajanskincare yet?

I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change. 💇‍♀️ @leeoc_hair at @thecellarsalon is the only person I would trust when chopping off this much! (I think it was around 10”!) If you’re looking for a hairstylist who is knowledgeable, talented, and the absolute sweetest, give her a call! ❤️

This bob is going to take some getting used to after my messy mane of long hair, but I already feel sooooo much lighter ✨

What do you think of the new look? 🙃👩🏻‍🦰

If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning frea If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning freak. 🙈🧼But, since I’m allergic to everything (fragrance, harsh chemicals, etc 😖) and also care about the environment, I try to find options that are natural as well as effective. 🌍🫧 That way, they’re gentle on my skin and the world, but tough on germs and dirt!

We’ve been using @nelliesclean dish sticks, stain stick, laundry soda for the past few months and LOVING them. ❤️ I even purchased Nellie’s Oxygen brightener recently, which is a bleach alternative that boosts color and keeps whites white. They WORK. (And look very retro chic!)

If you’re looking for effective, naturally-derived cleaning products from a Canadian company, I highly recommend that you check out @nelliesclean! 🇨🇦
