Thank you Marc Jacobs...

... for creating these adorable shoes.

Hi girls,

I'm really really pumped- I tried these shoes on a month ago, and have been dreaming of them ever since. Finally, they are mine! Marc by Marc Jacobs mouse flats!

Box and dust bag (!!!)

Mice!

I had seen these (or earlier versions) on some blogs a while ago, and at first thought they were kinda... strange. Apparently one of the earlier versions had red eyes, which sounds really creepy. I like the dark on dark aspect of these. The eyes and ears are a dark, patent navy blue, so it's a subtle contrast to the black leather of the shoes. I also really like that these have the slightly elastic heel. I find this type of style much easier to wear and break in than the rigid heels of most flats.

I'm most excited to see how many ways I can wear these! They're subtle and soft enough to wear somewhat formally, but they jazz up basic jean shorts and a top because, well, there are mouse faces on them!!

What do you think of Marc Jacobs' design? Weird or totally awesome??

Wish of the Day: Coloured Jeans

Hello lovelies!

Just a quick post today, sharing something I've been thinking of for ages! I think it was the May or June issue of People StyleWatch that first published this photo of Cameron Diaz:

Since I saw this, I have been obsessed with finding these jeans (or, rather, a similar but much much less expensive version). Alas, I have found one! But... my size was nowhere to be found.

These elusive pastel pink jeans can be found at Zara! And while I didn't get their pink ones, I did buy their mint green option a few weeks ago. I've been wearing them a lot (last night, actually, which reminded me of my quest for the pink ones...), and only take a few rolls at the ankle to be the right length. But I think this type of jean- coloured and summery- really lends itself to a rolled cuff. It adds an easy, laid-back vibe.

I'll definitely be checking Zara again this week to see if they've restocked these... oh, and did I forget to mention these were only $40? And on the Zara website, it seems as though they're now on sale for $30. Hopefully those pink ones are as fabulous as I remember them to be!

I'll be posting an OOTD with these very soon! 

Bisous,

Introducing... Chloe's Fashion and Shopping Adventures

Salut les filles!

*A warning now, my French Canadian side comes out every once in a while! Hopefully you think it's charming. J'espère.

So here I am, starting another blog. I've been getting so many requests for more fashion videos on my Youtube Channel that I thought I'd start a fashion blog for those of you who are interested! I have a makeup blog, so why not a fashion blog, I say?! It may not seem like it, but a fashion video (at least the kind I like to make!) takes a long long long time to finish. There's the planning of the outfits, taking the photos, filming an intro and in between parts, and editing. Double the work of a makeup tutorial.

So, my point is that YES I will be doing some fashion videos, but I will also be posting Outfits of the Day and some little shopping hauls on here for you to enjoy! Personally I love fashion blogs even more than I love makeup blogs- it's the ultimate window shopping experience!

To finish, I'll talk a little about my personal style. I'm petite (barely 5'4, which is the top of the petite spectrum!), with short legs (31'' inseam for bootcut jeans/pants, 28" or 29" for skinnies), so I've had quite the time learning how to dress myself properly. I'm still experimenting, though, and always learning new tricks!

I'd say that in terms of "style", I'm a mix of a few "types", depending on my mood and the occasion. I like to say that I'm a fashion chameleon. On any given day, I could be classic, trendy, bohemian, casual, or urban chic. The only styles I never really follow are preppy (I hate collared shirts!) and gothic/skater/punk (I did that in grade 9 and 10, and am so done with it!). I'm game for anything else, really!

So I really hope you guys enjoy this blog, and I know I'll have a lot of fun with it!

Happy shopping, and à bientôt!
