I am relieved OOTD

This blog is about :
-improving my English skills
-talking about make up and a little bit of fashion

So tadaaaaaaa today, I'll play synonyms to fulfill the 1st goal of this blog

Caro had an horrendous day at her job
Caro had a dreadful week at her job
Caro had a terrible month at her job

Caro quited her job and is ready for new adventures, now ! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa


To the outfit :
brown turtleneck bought in France while on vacation : Cache-cache
beige kaki pants : Joe Fresh in sale for 9$
Leopard shoes : Franco Sarto in sale too for 49$99 (let's get precise !)
Funky jewelry : gift from mother in law


Camel jacket bought at Zara in Paris (I am SOOOOOOO fancy !) : in sale , a long time ago...So I can't remember the price ....be nice, I am an old lady, my memory is not what it used to be ...
Aldo hat : 3$98 (I told you I'd be precise !)
Bad ass attitude resulting in quiting job : priceless !

Caro-quitter for the sake of her mental state xxx

PS : just to give me a boost of ego : Do you , English people, understand a single word of what I write ? Or do you just watch pics and wonder "who the BEEP is that weird girl ?"
PS II : You'll notice that I start to use slang words ...Is it a clue that my English is improving ?
PS III : Isabelle and Virginie, if you read those lines, the package you sent me was the joy of my ultimately shitty week ! (see again ! forbidden words...I am definitively fluent ....)

a bad hair day ....

or a bad hair week ? My hair is acting crazy lately : no volume on top and frizzy like crazy in the length. So all week end, I put my hair in a bun and under a hat bought in 3 colors at Aldo last week. Grey for yesterday outfit ...


...Cream for today.
OOTD : a cream knitted dress, under my "rock star" coat. It reminds me of the "Almost famous" movie with Kate Hudson (the one and only film she was good in, if I remember well...). This coat is so old, the back is completely distressed (I was going to Uni when I wore it and always had a backpack....). Boots were bought last year at Sirens, Those stores sell horrendous leggings, jeggings and T-shirts but I was amazed by their shoe selection last year (particularly in the boot area, there were really nice pieces for ridiculously low prices...). Big glasses to hide a "no-make-up-day" are from Winners.



Caro- looking annoyed in those pics xxx

The Hourglass figure : OOTD

The weather was fantastic today so we decided to "oxygenate" the whole family and went to Mont-Royal park for a big walk. I wore an old Kookai jacket : you could call it vintage, I guess, as I bought it probably 10 years ago. It came with a mini skirt that once fitted my mini bum...those days are gone ! Then I bought that longer skirt 5-4 years ago and I discovered that the color was a perfect match to the jacket : hooray !

Back of the outfit, for you to see the hat. A beret for a French girl, what can I say ? You can take the girl out of France but never France out of the girl ! I bought it in 3 colors at Aldo : grey, black and cream for 3.99 $ CAD each...They are soft and big and lovely, I couldn't resist !


Shoes and T-shirt are from JOE FRESH. I am not sure I will go on doing my grocery in Loblaws where they sell that brand as I'll tend to grab something not edible each time I pay a visit...


A cute squirrel eating a peanut....Kids had a blast running around the tree where it escaped !

Do you have some mints, please ?

OOTD : an old ESPRIT dress (3-4 years ago) that I can wear again (yeah to weight loss, you can shop your stash and rediscover old loves !). My Aldo bag and a brown belt From Joe Fresh (yes you heard me that brand you find at your grocery store aka Loblaws...). I cut my head off as it was scary ....Sorry for what it reveals of my sanity, problem with self esteem and stuff haha


The way to make your belt looks pretty : inspired by Anh whose blog I am obsessed with....


A champanish-olivish kind of eye : Champagne (NYX) paired with Club (MAC) and Helium (Annabelle)

See I don't have a problem showing my face !


JOTD : old, old stuff . I can't even remember when I bought those 2 items...



I hope everyone have a wonderful week. And there she goes to work till 22h (bleh, bleh ...)

a little Haul and 2 swatches ....





A fun summery bag from Aldo. I like the shape. I can't afford a Speedy From LV (LOVE and drooling) but this little bag makes me happy !

3 new nail varnishes from JOE : a pastel yellow, a pale blue and a dark shimmery deep blue. I did a NOTD with the Pastel yellow yesterday. 3 for 10 CAD $. doudoudoudoudou......

2 Rimmel lipsticks : Vintage pink ( a dusty rose with a purple hue), Red lust (mid coral-mid red)

LUSH shampoo in Cynthia La Belle Brune. I had a sample of this one when I purchased BIG shampoo and I had to come back to pick it up. The smell is weird but it makes the hair so shiny and soft !!!

Hope you had a good Monday
