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??

OOTD: Floral skirt + ruffled sandals

Salut les filles!

I wore this simple outfit today, and managed to take some shots of it with my Nikon (rather than my webcam, which was used for the last OOTD post). It's warm today, so I needed to have the legs out!

My everyday hoops

I love this top, and only recently attempted to pair it with something other than jeans. I think it's great tucked into this high-waisted skirt, since it's loose but also shows my shape well. The skirt has two tiers- a pencil-ish layer underneath a loose layer with pockets. I think it's adorable, and such a unique silhouette for a summer skirt! The sandals I'm wearing are my absolute favourites, I've been wearing them almost every day. They go with everything, and they also have a mini-wedge heel, so they're perfect for my shortness :)

Items:

Top- Urban Outfitters
Skirt- Monteau (purchased at a small boutique in Peterborough)
Sandals- Steve Madden (at Winners!)
Jewelry- gifts/local jewelers


À bientôt!

OOTD: Summer dress + petite styling?

Hello lovelies,

It was incredibly warm here today, but I managed to put together a rather acceptable, if not completely fashionable and cute, outfit!

With my shoes- sorry it's so dark!

Earrings and a whole lot of face!

Shoe shot!

Quite a casual, breezy outfit for such a hot day. Surprisingly enough I wasn't too hot with the jacket on. I had to keep in on when I went out because I had forgotten to put sunscreen on my shoulders, but I was perfectly fine, even in the sun! I also love the pairing of this cropped denim jacket with my white dress. Perfection for petites- cropped jackets make you look taller, as do short hemlines! On its own, I feel like the dress can look a little bit "nightie"-ish, but the jacket says "Yes, I'm definitely a dress!". Don't have much to say about the wedges- I love them. That's all. They add height, but are really comfy and easy to walk in.

Items:

Dress- Forever21
Jacket- Material Girl
Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Earrings- vintage from Peru
Bag- Cole Haan


Thanks for reading,

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!
