Fashion and... Vampires.

By C.Elizabeth

Since I was a little girl, I've always been fascinated with Vampires. Not in a creepy way obviously but I've always wanted to know more about them, read more about them and "see" more about them (through movies and TV). "Dracula" by Bram Stoker is one of my favorite books. When Andrew found out about this, he decided to buy me "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King. I've started reading it recently and so far, I love it. I've read a few of Stephen King's books in the past but never was a very big fan of his. This book though, probably because it's one of his early one, it's amazingly well written, fresh and different. Have you read it? If so, what did you think?

When a writer returns to his Maine home town, he discovers that the peaceful hamlet is being overrun by vampires and sets out to curb this ancient evil before it can spread.

Also, last weekend was another sunny one (part of it anyway) so we went for a walk (and for some bread). Everytime it's sunny like this, it reminds me of home and cheers me up. I'm used to so much more sun than we get here in the UK (not that it's hard to beat!).

Here are some pictures:

Top from Primark, skirt from Dorothy Pirkins, leggings from H&M and shoes from Primark.

Helloooo :)

Haven't made any post for a while, so.... here I am again =))
On April, 7 I have finally passed one of the most important exams and I am simply HaPpY! yay!! Though I still have to prepare a big project and make it's presentation in Uni, but that's in june only. So I still have some time to get ready :)

The weather is getting better and better here (what a surprise,hehe) and spring sun finally makes people change their winter clothes into something lighter :)

This is what I have bought these days. 3 (!!!) pairs of indian earings, violet shoes from New Yorker and blue shoes on a high heel, by Le Monti. I am happy! haha

Can't wait for summer to come to be able to wear all these things )))

A sunny day in Manchester

By C.Elizabeth

On Tuesday, we went to Manchester for a bit of shopping. The weather was quite nice, though not very warm. We also went for a nice lunch in town together in China Town, which was great!

Also, the morning, just before we left, I received a package from my parents... a lovely handbag! And my mom really picked it well since it's mustard yellow, just like my shoes! I absolutely love it!

The weather is supposed to be very nice again all weekend. I'll really try to make the most out of it as it doesn't happen very often in the UK. One more reason for me to miss home! hehe

Anyway, here are some pictures:

At last.

By C.Elizabeth

At last, indeed. It's been ages! I'm having a few days off work now so hopefully I'll have more time to post... and to have a life. hehe

I went out with some friends on Saturday night for a meal, which was followed by some karaoke singing at home. We all had a nice time.

Here's what I wore:

Black vest, tights and denim skirt all from Simons, "blouse" from Zara, shoes from Dolcis.

Tomorrow, we are going to Manchester for the day. Some shopping and a nice meal. I'll take my camera along and hopefully the weather will be nice. Though, it's safer not to hold me breath!

Here comes the sun

We finally had a lovely sunny week in Manchester last week but I was working... and when the weekend came, it was either raining or extremely cold and windy. I also was on a rush, on my way out to dinner when those were taken, so I didn't have time to go outside. It would have been so much better!
I'm wearing a dress I really love, which I bought at Top Shop. I think the classic style of it makes it very easy to wear, anytime. I just got it back recently, after I begged my mom to send it to me from home, in Canada. I can't believe I forgot it there last November. Duh! And I wore my mustard yellow shoes from Target USA as well.

Talking about Canada, I've booked on Saturday our plane tickets to go home for 3 weeks in September! I just CAN'T wait!! Andrew's parents (dad and stepmom) are also coming, what should be so fun!

New camera, new pictures.

By C.Elizabeth


I finally got my new camera! My old one is dying slowly... the battery isn't charging much anymore and the colors are nowhere near as good as they used to be. I've used it for almost 6 years now though and took well over 25 000 pictures. I can't believe I took that many! I invested quite a lot of money in it so I'm very happy it did last me so long.
Therefore, I've been looking for a new one for quite a while now and after lots of research work and keeping in mind our budget, I ordered one last week. It's the KODAK EASYSHARE Z1012 IS. I absolutely LOVE it. I received it yesterday. I'm still not accustomed to it so the pictures I take probably aren't as good as they should be, but it will come!

Here's what it looks like:



Other than that, the weather was very enjoyable today. Some sun (lots of clouds) and warm enough to leave my jacket at home! We went for a little walk before another hectic week starts all over again. Here's what I wore:

Cardigan from Zara, dress by Orion at Top Shop, belt from H&M, leggings from Next (I think), shoes from my mom.

Today, I travelled to the past

By C.Elizabeth

First of all, happy women day to all of you girls!

Not so long ago, I discovered a fantastic skin care brand which I immediately fell in love with. The packaging is fabulous and the quality is even better than I expected. It's "Soap & Glory". Have you ever tried it? I first was attracted by the packaging, which makes me wish I could travel back in time! So I first bought the hand cream and a body spray to see if it would live up to my expectations... and it did. Brilliantly so! So far I bought 2 body sprays (one is also hydrating), a peel off mask for the face, hand cream, body scrubs and a face wash.
There are still quite a few things I want to buy, such as bath foam, body butter and face cream. I'm a bit reluctant about the face cream because my skin is so sensitive... I'm afraid it would either break me out or dry me out. It's been the story of my life so far! Anyway, I will see...




Also, a couple of weeks ago, I finally found the jacket I've been looking for. It's just perfect! I like the color, the style... everything. I haven't really had the chance to wear it due to living in Britain! Cold, rainy... and damp! So I still pretty much so have to wear warmer winter jacket. Anyway, at least I will have it once the weather decides to improve! I probably shouldn't complain about the weather too much though since after talking to my family, I've been told that it's still snowing and pretty cold at home, in Canada. I do miss snow in a way... I find it so much better than rain! Maybe not all the time, but at least for a few months a year.





I've also been shopping with a friend last week and I found some lovely clothes at Zara. I don't usually shop much there because I never seem to find anything... Though, after seeing all the gorgeous stuff they have in there at the moment, I might go back pretty soon! Here's a picture of one cardigan I found... I simply couldn't leave it there! It's so cute and warm.
