My Sister's Grad :)

Hiiii! :)

 

This evening was my sisters grade 8 graduation and I was so proud of her! It was nice being able to go back to my elementary school and see her graduate. She actually had the same teacher for grade 8 that I did. My sister and I both love this teacher, she is amazing!  

My sister looked beautiful and her dress was so pretty! I got to do her makeup (which she doesn't ever let me do.... she hates makeup:P) It is just hard to believe how grown up my little sister is getting. The ceremony was lovely and they had a cute little slide show with everyone's baby pictures at the end. Afterwards everyone went outside for pictures and then we got refreshments and stuff in the gym. I'm kind of sad since I didn't actually get a picture with her... it was quite chaotic!

Doesn't she look beautiful! :)

I let her borrow my bow clip since it went with her dress perfectly! :)

It was such a lovely evening and I'm glad I got to share this special day with my sister, I love her dearly! :) <3

I hope you all have a wonderful day,

Shopping again?

Hiiii! :)

So Father's Day is this weekend and last night I realized that I had yet to get my dad a gift. My Dad is so hard to shop for so I usually need some time to figure something out. One of my best friends also hadn't gotten her dad anything so we decided to go look for something today. Now this is the same friend that I have mentioned in previous posts (check out her blog HERE) and we should not be allowed to shop together. We both have very little self control and so we ended up buying a few things for ourselves as well.

First we went to Target because we just got a new one close to where we live and we hadn't been in it yet. Of course the clothing section was at the very front so we had to check it out. I ended up finding a really cute dress for $8 so how could I resist buying it? When I got home, I realized it had pockets too which was a lovely surprise! It is also a nice comfortable material, so I will definitely be wearing this a lot!

I especially love the bows on it, and the fact that it has pockets!

I also got a few more small items from Target....

I know that I didn't need the magazine, but I just wanted one to read so I got it anyways:P  I also got a NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil which I actually used when I got home. I got the 716 Pink brown one, but to me it is more like a coral colour. It is a bit shimmery and looks almost metallic when you put it on. It's really pretty but it isn't too crazy so I can wear it anytime! The last thing I got was the Goody Tanglefix. Basically it is like a brush and so far I really like it! It is nice to hold and  find it goes through  my hair easily. However my hair is straightened today so hopefully it works just as well on my natural hair.

I had picked up all these items and still hadn't found anything for my dad so I ended up just getting my dad a gift card that works at a few different restaurants which I think he will enjoy.

 We decided to stop at winners and see if there was anything we liked there, and there were, but we actually did not buy anything (which is kind of surprising). 

We then made a pit stop at dollarama to get a few more things. My dad absolutely loves liquorice allsorts so I got him 3 bags. 

We decided to go to Starbucks for a nice little sit down and I had a gift card which was awesome! We ended up just having lunch there as it was almost 4pm and we hadn't eaten yet. I got this chicken, quinoa and veggie wrap which was actually very delicious. I wasn't expecting it to be that good! I also got a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino. I am in love with chocolate so this was just perfect! There was even chocolate whipped cream which is just amazing. We sat outside because it was such a beautiful day (although now it looks like there is going to be a storm!) and had a lovely chat.  We both enjoyed the lunch and sunlight!

  It was such a fun day, I always love getting to see my friends! 

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and hopefully the weather was nice wherever you were too :)

Shopping Haul

Hiiii :)
Today, my friend had some errands to run so I decided to go with her. I did not intend to buy anything, but I should know myself better than that. I have very little self control when I enter a  store! I have decided to show you what I bought as I really enjoy reading blog posts like this.

First we went to Walmart which isn't too exciting. I have this obsession with makeup where I just love to buy it and I do have quite a lot. The odd thing is I don't actually wear a lot on most days. Usually I will just wear mascara and neutral eyeshadow or just nothing at all. I just recently started wearing blush sometimes as well. On special occasions I will wear a bit more, but nevertheless I love makeup. Anyways, we stopped at Walmart because I really wanted to get some makeup brushes. I didn't actually own any prior to this, so I thought it might be useful to get some. I ended up getting the real techniques brushes by Samantha Chapman. I heard that they are really good and they are and excellent price as well.

We then went into a store called Turquoise. They have some really cute dresses and tops and I found a plain black one that is perfect for work. I tried it on and really liked it. It is made from nylon and spandex so it was stretchy and comfy. The good thing was it was on sale so it was only $5 which is a really amazing price!

We then went to Urban Planet. I kind of went crazy here. I find it is one of those stores that sometimes they have so many things that I love and then other times there isn't anything. On this particular visit I found soooo many clothing items that I really liked! I have always loved jean vests but I have never owned one. I saw one that I really liked with little studs on it and it fit really nicely. I am very excited to wear this!

 I also needed a dress to wear to my sisters graduation and for the summer in general. I found a beautiful greeny-teal colour and I loved it. Typically I don't really go for strapless tops or dresses but this one was just beautiful and very flattering! There's a lovely cut out in the back as well and I just feel so confident in it. It is difficult to see in the picture, but underneath the lace there is a solid part that only goes to the knees. So from the knees down it is just the lace (the picture just makes the whole dress look opaque). I find this dress goes perfectly with the jean vest.

 I also bought a pair of jeans into the change room just so I had something to try the shirts on. I ended up liking the shorts so much that I bought those instead of some of the tops. They just fit really nicely and the pattern on the front is neat. I also needed a pair of shorts for the summer.

 The final item I got from Urban Planet was  a tank top. It was just really cute, and I really liked the cut out in the back. I already have a lot of tank tops but I know I will wear this one a lot. Plus it was fairly cheap so I bought it. All the items I got from this store were really great deals.

We then drove to the mall to get a few gifts for people. Bath and Body works was the first stop. That store is so dangerous for me because it just smells so wonderful and I get sucked into buying things for myself so easily. Well as soon as we walked in we spotted some candles and of course we needed to smell them. They had a deal on so my friend and I both got two three wick (even though we didn't really need them...). We ended up both getting London Calling (which is a tea and lemon scent) and Paris Daydream (which is a floral scent) which both have really pretty designs on the lid. Both are lovely :)

We then bought the gifts that we needed to get and got out of the mall as fast as we could before we spent more money. I enjoyed the day not only because of what I bought, but because I was able to spend the day with one of my best friends. :)
I hope you all have a fantastic day, and remember to smile!
