FOREVER 21 is having a HUGE SALE

 
This afternoon, the sun peeked out from under the clouds and I made a trip down to Uptown Centre where I found myself (yeah right, I just HAPPENED to find myself there) at Forever 21.
I was in the mood to buy something cozy to layer up with these cold, damp winter evenings. I scowered the first few racks, then a sign caught my eye... a RED sign... a SALE sign. Then I saw another, then another...
Come on ladies, you know that rush when you realize something that you want is on sale. That black, faux fur sweater I had had my eyes on last time, YUP, it was 30% off!
 

 
Loving this spiked bracelet from Forever 21. Perfectly paired with my favorite watch.
 
Forever 21 is having a HUGE sale. Most sale items are 30% off. Sweater, blazers, hats, scarves (I picked up 2 super cozy scarves), tees, jewelry, shoes and more.

Keep It Layered

 
Our temperatures are now dropping to below zero at night and I am seeing flurries in the local forecast every other day, here are some great tips for layering it up to keep you warm.

I am sure that some of you are afraid to layer up your clothes just from the fact that you may look bigger than you truly are, but if you have tried layering and have pulled the look off, you know that you couldn't have been more wrong! I love layering and have mastered the look and found my favorite pieces from American Eagle Outfitters, Forever 21, Buffalo David Bitton, Bliss Boutique, H&M, Miss Bliss Boutique & Amelia Lee Boutique! A correctly layered outfit will not only compliment the curves that you may have, but the look will still create the illusion of a more proportioned silhouette.


Using blazers as a layering piece is a great way to keep cozy without adding too much bulk!
This look is from Lark & Sparrow Boutique located in Cook Street Village.


Here are some amazing tips from Lauren Conrad's website:

5 Steps to a Perfectly Layered Outfit
    Start with a basic, lightweight top. I suggest a solid, something neutral, or striped.
    Add another layer such as a soft cardigan or sweater. If you’re into color, this can be a great opportunity to mix in a bold pullover to give your outfit more intrigue and depth.
    Then add a jacket or coat. Again, I suggest a basic color: camel, black, navy, or even olive green.
    Next, add a scarf. It’s like the frosting on a cupcake. A must!
    Sprinkle on your accessories (bracelets, rings, watches).

Give Me Lemons

 
A New Year, A New You
 
Lemon water rocks! Lemons are packed with natural vitamins and minerals that are key to your overall health and will help you to glow inside and out. Do you drink lemon water?
 After learning about the huge amount of health benefits associated with drinking water and freshly squeezed lemon juice, I decided to make it a part of my every day diet. Depending on how I am feeling that day, I drink it warm or cold!

Here are some great reasons why you should pair water with lemons:
  It's a natural energizer. It hydrates and oxygenates your body so you feel revitalized and refreshed.
It's cleansing. According to an online news link, the citric acid in lemons helps maximize enzyme function, which stimulates the liver and aids in detoxification. YES!
  It aids in digestion. Not only will this killer combination relive indigestion, it will also help flush you out.
