OOTD: Asymmetrical dress

Posted by Halifax @ Sparkled Beauty

This was my Mother's Day outfit, just "fo sho" as Squirt and I didn't make it to our favorite restaurant for dinner. I wanted to try this oh-so-popular type of dress on, just to see if I can pull it off.


The dress is from Sirens, told you they have cool stuff. The prints have a tribal feel to it, and the material is very light and flowy. It almost feels like I have nothing on, hence the leggings (also from Sirens).


The rest of the outfit:
- Faux letter jacket from Old Navy
- Jules + James wedge ankle booties from Zellers
- Dior sunglasses. Excuse the glasses in all pics, as my eyes need them in the sun. Accutane's side effect: sensitive eyes :(
- Earrings from Claire's.


Hope everyone had a great weekend and Mother's Day. Squirt made me a card, with some love coupons attached (expiring today lol), a poem and a song.

FOTD and OOTD

Posted by Halifax @ Sparkled Beauty

My very first OOTD post, blame the coloured denim trend! The weekend was sunny with bright sky, not as warm as it looked but Squirt and I had our "photo shoot" anyway.


This is the hot pink skinny jeans from Sirens. I have become a fan of this store when they feature latest fashion trends - coloured jeans and blazers, sheer chiffon blouses, colour-blocking fitted dresses, asymmetrical hemmed skirts, etc.


The jeans are surprisingly comfortable and stretchy enough to accommodate regular movements of my legs. I'm well... not tall (lol) so they are long on me. I have to fold them in a few inches for the flats.


The rest of the outfit:
- Black tank underneath a sheer top from Urban Behaviour
- H&M recycled wool blend cropped blazer
- Old Navy croc printed flats
- Nevada necklace from the Bay
- Earrings and rings from Claire's
- Chopard sun glasses.

What I used on the face:
- Cetaphil moisturizer SPF50
- Marcelle BB cream in Light to Medium
- Vichy Norma Teint foundation in Sand (review to come), no concealer
- Cover Fx Setting Fx translucent mineral powder in Light
- tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Charisma.

For the eyes:
- Maybelline Color Tattoo in Too Cool
- Annabelle 4Show eyeshadow quad in Pop-Eye (using the lime green and aqua shades)
- Annabelle Custom quad single eyeshadow in Helium as brow bone highlighter
- Annabelle Smoothie eyeshadow pencil in Licoriche, smudged out on lower lash line
- Gosh Velvet Touch eyeliner in Banana for inner corners
- Annabelle Le Big Show mascara in Black.

For the lips, stay tuned for the next post to find out :) It's exciting, I promise.

And as always, close-up on the eye makeup.

I have lots of respect for fashion bloggers to take OOTD every day. Squirt was my photographer and she didn't know the skill to angle up to make me look taller and all, but she's all I got lol. This was just our trip to the playground, I must be the trendiest mom there for the day.
