I'm Back!

{Wearing: Shop Ruche Blazer, Club Monaco Blouse & Ring, H&M Shorts, Zara Pumps & Fossil Watch}

I'm baaaaaack! It's been a week since I last saw you and I'm a week older but none the wiser. Why do I say that you ask? Well, it's because in the middle of a hot Vancouver summer, I chose to style outfit around a piece of outerwear. Not the wisest decision ever but in the few minutes before I became a big ol' sweaty mess I really did love this outfit. I guess I should just enjoy this gorgeous weather and stop whining about the fact that it prevents me from wearing my beloved blazers. You won this round mother nature. Keep up the good work.

Break Time

I'm finally feeling better after a week of feeling like garbage. Exhausted garbage. If you saw me last week I was in sweats and I looked like this.

Unfortunately I am now a week behind on life. Yesterday afternoon the reality of all the catching up I have to do this week finally hit me and I got a wee bit stressed. I was complaining about how I had nothing ready for my blog and a friend of mine suggested I take a week off my blog to focus on my non-blog life.

Whaaaaat?

That's so crazy it just might work.

So I'm going to be selfish for a week so I can come back organized (ha! who am I kidding) and refreshed on August 6th.

In the meantime, you can gently stalk me on twitter and instagram (missmelissa_k)

See you in a week!

Emotional Brilliance

I've been sickity sick all week so since I've been living in sweat pants I thought I would finally get around to telling you about the Lush event I attended recently. They launched a new cosmetic line, Emotional Brilliance, and I had the opportunity to take a sneak peek. There is a wide variety of rich and vibrant colors for your lips and eyes (priced at $22.95) and all of them are vegan. They also have a translucent powder and a few skin tints (priced at $18.95) that feel fantastic on the skin.
It was also amazing to have a face mask made right in front of us. We knew that Lush products were handmade but until you stand there and watch the kiwi and asparagus being pureed and put into the mask you don't quite grasp how handmade they are.

The Emotional Brilliance line launched in Lush on the 21st and if you haven't had a chance to check it out I definitely recommend that you do.

Happy Friday everyone!
