Five Monthly Favorites: June

Hello :)

Life has been catching up with me these past couple of weeks, I know I said I would be more consistent but to be honestly there was so much more I had to do and by the time I started to blog again I was dead tired. Trying to adjust to a new schedule at work and finding a new job has had me tied up most evening and days. Between, hunting, rewriting and writing resumes and cover letter, the application process took longer than I thought. But now that I got of the applications I wanted to get out I have more down time in the evenings. 

Now on to my favorites this month. 

1. Hourglass: Ambient Lighting Palette 

This palette just provides me with the best glow. I have dry skin and its usually pretty dull but this brighten it up in the best way possible. I know that each shade is meant to do a particular thing but I just use it as a powder and I love it.   

2. YSL: Rouge Volupté Shine in #15 Corail Intuitive

Best summer shade ever. 

Not to mention the beautiful packing and moisturizingness of it. Its amazing, I want more.

3. Revlon: Colorstay Moisture Stain in Cannes Crush

I bought this because in my head it would be like Dior Addict Fluid Stick would be like. No I haven't had the pleasure in trying that (I've bought too many lipsticks this month). But in my head this is a dupe. Even if its not, this is an amazing product, I love the initial application but I love the stain it leaves after the product is gone even more. 

4. Salvatore Ferragamo: Mini Bag in Red

Can I start with saying I can't believe this is in my possession? My amazing sister bought this for me as a graduation present. I am still in aw of it. I use it whenever I can and it surprisingly fits more than I thought it could. Not to mention it was beautiful and perfect.

5. Fujifilm Instax Stack Mini 8 in Yellow

I love this baby in Europe it like a instant souvenir. I trying to make more of an effort take more pictures and this camera helps with that, alot. 

Those are my favourites of June!

Cheers, Jennifer

Sunday Steals - Work Edition

I started my "new" job (moving from part time to full time) within my company as a Marketing Coordinator and have my first full week of work starting this monday. After a being a student for my entire life than coming off of a six week vacation its been challenging to adapt to a new schedule, but I'm getting use to it (slowly, but surely) & I'm actually enjoying it. 

But with a new position comes what else? New clothes of course, I have work appropriate clothes from when I was part time, but now being full time I really feel like I don't have enough and have started to take on the mantra that if I can't wear it to work I won't buy it (well I'm trying too).

Just coming from an unpaid 6 week vacation my budget is tighter than I would like it to be but lucky me there are some wonderful sales from even more wonderful stores.

This week's steals are from JCREW, Sephora and Nordstrom.

1. JCREW - Jeweled Bow Top - $42.99 (with code SHOPNOW)

2. JCREW - Minnie Pant -$55.65 (with code SHOPNOW)

3. Sephora - The Twenty Two (Find In-Stores)  - $33

4. Kate Spade Lilla Tote - $266.66

5. JCREW - Leopard Loafers - $99.99 -(with code SHOPNOW)

Makes a cute outfit huh ?

Thats all for today !

Cheers, Jennifer

Graduation Day & I'm Back

Not only did the day come, but also it has now passed which mean I am now an official Alumnus, which is insane. After 4 years of University I can't believe that I am no longer a student. No more midterms, finals, papers, projects and at best of all no more group projects. Although its weird to have this chapter of my life come to an end, I’m so excited to start the next.

What I wore:

Hello There :)

Dress: JCREW (Can't find online, in store on sale though!)

Jacket: Zara

Shoes: Target

Necklace: JCREW Factory (old)

I didn't really take many pictures in my outfit, the majority (all except this one) are in my cap and gown :). But now that school is over, and my travels have ended (sadly) you can actually expect post from me (frequently too.) I truly love blogging because it constantly teaches me new things and concepts.

Cheers, Jennifer :)

March Haul

I already know that I have problems, I am fully aware and I am dealing with it in my own ways.  I consider the no but, I really did but caved at the sign of a good deal. 

My cousin M constantly points out that I should blog about all the good deals I find on a regular basis but I find it hard to talk about just one product, since I tend to only purchase one or two things a shopping trip. I thought since I want to be more consistent on my Instgram from now on I will post in the moment deals on my instagram (@CheersJennifer) but I will still recap on everything I bought this month here on my blog.

I was definitely more concious of what I was buying this month with my trip now only 3-weeks away but it didn't stop me from shopping to say the least. 

What I bought this month consisted of 

1. Pink Dress Pants from Zara - On Sale for $11.99

2. Stripped Gap Dress - On Sale for $25.99

3. Glitter Back Boots from Winners (by Vince Camuto) - On Sale for $59.99

4. Kate Spade Ipad Case - One Sale for $14.99

This isn't actually for me, but a gift & I just had to share the deal

I'm really happy with my purchases this month & ill try to do an outfit post on each item !

What was your best deal this month ?

Cheers, Jennifer

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
