Tell me if you have a request! I would love to make themed Style videos like this on a weekly basis. I'll do the best that I can, I've got a vast closet but it's not endless (too bad).

I got skimpy with accessories and layers just because it's getting so hot that you don't want to over do it for every day wear.

1: Zara Maxi / Nine West Gladiators

2: Boodwar Dress / Le Chateau Platforms

3: Mango Tube Dress / Bamboo bolted ankle strapped sandals/ H&M & F21 accessories

4: F21 dress worn as a skirt $15 / Tank $7 / & belt / Zara low wedges

5: Zara skirt $16 / H&M oversized tank $7 / Mango belt / Jeffrey Campbell Mary Roks $124 USD

I feel bad for not being able to do outfit posts these days. Believe it or not, making outfit clips like this have been more rewarding and easier than posting pictures on chictopia or lookbook lately. I can think up a few outfits a night without having to worry that the lighting is wrong (living in a semi-basement facing north doesn't help). Not to mention, video is a lot more forgiving then still photographs.

OK! So ... for a long time I swore off Steve Madden and Aldo shoes because they were just not making it happen any more. They had a dry spell where all their shoes were hard, uncomfortable and cheap knock offs of everything designer. Don't get me wrong, they are still the kings of knock offs.

For a long time, Zara footwear kicked Aldo and Steve Maddens out of the game, but now, I'm not so sure they are far behind any more. Steve Madden has definitely upped their game and their  prices are comparable to Jeffrey Campbell.

I've been looking for this stuff like crazy since I've seen in plastered all over youtube. So many beauty guru's are showing off NYX products and making comparisons to Mac got me itching NYX! My only problem was that I couldn't find it anywhere. Sure, cherryculture.com has it all (including probably the worst swatches in the history of the internet) but I didn't feel like ordering online, paying shipping and all that jazz.

If you live in Montreal and are looking for these babies go to the Brunet close to the Attwater Market. I'm never usually there, but I decided to scroll through their make up aisle and there it was out of nowhere. The section is relatively small. The first things that caught my eye were their jumbo pencils, eye shadow trios and brushes. Sadly, I did not find NYX professional brushes, only the black handled ones.

I had to contain myself because I might be heading to New York and I'll sure as hell find everything cheaper there.

Jumbo Pencils retail for $4.85 CAD - cherry culture sells them for $3.00 to $4.00 USD
Trios $9.95 CAD - cherry culture " $5.50 to $8.00 USD

The last time I checked the exchange rate... honestly, way to rape us. Not to mention our tax is psycho *at a loss for words*...

Anyway, here are pictures/swatches/comparisons..:

We are looking at some striking similarities between this quad and 2 MAC pans. The biggest difference is pigmentation! The colors are a tad off, but not by much. Ricepaper is more golden than the lightest color in this trio, so is Satin Taupe. The color which resembles Satin Taupe is comparable in terms of pigmentation, however it comes off a tad more gray.

I'm looking for a charcoal color from Mac which is most similar to the darkest in this trio. Any suggestions? And does anyone know where else in Montreal to find NYX?
