A Case of Wanderlust

In 3 weeks...

3 weeks from today I have my bags packed (hopefully) and on my first of many flights in my European adventure.  In six weeks I will have the joy of visiting 5-7 Countries and 10+ cites (some plans are still in the works, but the majority is booked!).

I am beyond excited, and even though I’ve been planning this trip for over a year now but its just hit me that this is actually happening, it always just seemed like dream, it still does sometimes. Know that I get to visit places ive only read about and seen in pictures is so unreal and I still have a hard time believing that it is actually happening.

I am currently in completely wander-lusting mood, the thought of actually traveling to all these wondrous places is completely surreal.

Here are some places I can not possibly wait to visit:

London, England

Paris, France

Barcelona, Spain

Rome, Italy

I am probably the most excited for the Colosseum in Rome. I love it since I was a kid and really can't believe that I get to see it in person ! 

Norway.

I cant wait to share my experience, outfits and finds with all of you. Ill be leaving in 6 weeks and should be able to access wifi the majority of the time.

Current Spring Craving: Yellow Jacket

I was early meeting a friend for dinner the other day and made the mistake of walking into Zara. As I said in an earlier post, I'm leaving for Europe next month (officially booked my flights!) so I've tried to limit my perusing/shopping time in order to fight temptations, but as soon as I saw this coat I became obsessed and this obsession is only growing because since going to that one Zara I've now been to two others and all three do not have my size which to me is a sign that I really need to purchase it soon.

Zara - Yellow Coat with Pockets - $159 CAD

It was honestly love at first sight. 

Yellow is actually one of my favorite it colours and this coat is the perfect shade of yellow. Not to mention its the perfect shape! I felt so classy when I tried it on,  and since the shape of this coat is so classic that I think it will stand the test of time. 

I can already imagine it with all sorts of outfits and I cant wait to add this piece to my closet. 

This being one of them:

Will you see this in my monthly haul chances are yes. I'm so obsessed !

What are you craving for this spring ?

Cheers, Jennifer

2. Red Longchamp Le Pliage - $160 

3. Large Sailcloth Duffle - $285

But if anyone has any cheaper options I would love to hear them !

February Haul

Another month, another haul. I know I should be saving for my potentially huge trip in a couple months but I can't help the sales I really can't and it is a huge issues. I am acutally considering going on a month and a half no buy... 

1. White & Mint Dress from Dynamite - $2.50 originally $49.90

&

2. Beige Blazer from Dynamite - $2.50 originally $42.90

These were steals, from some reason the Dynamite at the Queensborough Landing in New Westminster was having a great sale which was every thing that was $5.00 was buy one get one free so I was able to score these great finds!

3. Baby Blue Blazer from Zara - $29.90 originally $79.90

I was given the corally pink one a while back and when I found this lovely one of sale and I couldn't resist.

4. Beaded Deep Purple from TopShop - $32.00

Does anyone else watch Reign ? Because I do and I am addicted and this dress kind of screamed that century or at least that show.

5. Clarisonic Plus from Shoppers Drugmart - $260.00 (paid $60.00)

I've been debating a Clarisonic of ages and when Shoppers had their spend your point event it was the perfect time to buy

7. Bumblebee Statement Necklace from eBay - $4.00

Can you tell that Spring in on my mind ?

Five Things in January

January usually doesn't fly by for me but this year it did so here are the five things that stood out to me this month. 

1. Zara blanket Scarf:

This scarf is the warmest thing ever therefore it was the best thing ever during the cold weather. In class when I've been cold, I used it as a blanket and it work like a charm 

2. The Ipad Mini

Most of my reading have been online this year so having everything conveniently download on to my ipad has made doing my reading that much easier. 

3. Finishing one month of my last semester  [photo credit via Stefan Lorimer]

I can't wait for school to be over with. There is so much I want to do but school takes up so much time. With that being said I cant believe I already finished one month meaning I only have 2 months (9 weeks) left of school.

4. Origins Eye Cream

I want to do I full review for you guys on this product, but let me just say its amazing, never have I ever been told I have radiant youthful skin :).

5.The Lunar New Year [photo credit]  

Happy Year of the Horse to all those that celebrate. I hope everyone had a great new year and may this year bring you great fortune !

Cheers, Jennifer

What I Bought in Janurary Haul

Happy February!

I'm proud of myself for using my willpower this January & not buy as many things... Not to say I didnt buy anything but its a lot less than last month (December Haul).

1. Target Doughnut Mug $3.99

After seeing this on @Missglamorazzi twitter I knew I had to hunt it down. For those in Vancouver area I mine from the Lansdowne Target in Richmond

2. A calligraphy set from Chapters - $15.00 on sale

One of my friends does calligraphy on her instagram and I fell in love with the idea. I really wanted to try doing it myself and at $15 I couldn't pass it up

3. Brilliant Ideas Notebook from Chapters - $10.00 on sale 

I'm seriously addicted to notebooks. I absolutely adore this one because its navy blue & velvet with golden polkadots, the picture does not do it justice 

4. Gold polkadot scarf from Target - $5.06 on sale

I bought this beacuse it was gold and on sale and who doesn't need a scarf

5. Nail polish remover from Target - $2.75

I tried this the other day and its the weirdest concept. You need to try this out yourself ! Its weird but seriously rocks at taking for darker nail polish I have yet to try it with glitter but will keep you guys posted!

6. First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads from Marshalls - $12.99 usually $28.00

After seeing many youtubers raving about this (mainly @meghanrosette)  I knew I wanted to try this. And I especially knew I had to try it after seeing it at Marshalls for over 50% off.

7. Workout top from American Eagle $7.99 on sale

I just needed this. 

thats all for what I bought in January !

what did you buy ?

Cheers, Jennifer <3

Favorite Outfit This Month - Chevron and Chambray

Happy Monday!

This is my first real temp at an outfit post so please bear with me. I don't know if you remember but in my "What I bought in January Post" I said that I bought this chevron sweater after seeing it on one of the sales girls at Banana Republic, well this is the outfit she wore and I immediately had to dupe it because she looked so good in it! 

Here is my take on it:

Chevron Cardigan: Banana Republic - Currently on Sale!

Chambray Shirt: JCREW Factory - Currently on Sale!

Pants: JCREW Factory - Currently on Sale!

Shoes: Kohls

Purse: Michael Kors

 Getting in a little bit closer...

thanks for reading, I hope to do more of these soon !

Cheers, Jennifer
