Etsy File: New bracelets

Just a couple of the new one of a kind bracelets that I added to my Etsy shop. You can see more of them here.
PS: If you are looking for a Christmas gift make sure you order before December the 5th as I can't guarantee (whit regular mail) that your order will arrive in time (let's just say that Canada Post is not as efficient as US Postal Service during Christmas). Just saying..

My Life File: Halloween

How was your Halloween weekend? Did you dress up? We had a Halloween party at one of my friend's house so we dressed up Matthew in this cute skeleton PJ's. I just couldn't resist to share with you my little skeleton ;)

Happy Weekend!

At the Temple of Angkor Wat

So happy that the weekend is almost here, though for us, the weekend basically consists of Sunday as husband works on Saturdays (yeap, not fun at all). On Sunday we are going to a Halloween party just around the corner, and if it's not too hot I'll put on Matthew his Skeleton PJ's! Hope you enjoy the weekend and these links:

> Tortilla chips bats

> The cheapest Halloween decor, seriously.

> Such an original way to show a recipe.

Blog Series: Splurge Vs. Save

Trina Turk Braden Vest, Kristen Blake Belted Faux Fur Vest

Inspired by my glasses finds I decided to start a new series on the blog: Splurge Vs. Save, because how many times do we like something and follow the link and get disappointed on how pricey it is? I do. I'll do my best on finding the most look a-like products at two different price points, hope you enjoy it! 
So let's begin the series with the Faux Fur Vest, shall we? I already gave you 3 options on how to wear it, and now I'm giving you two great options to get (plus the Michael Kors one from the post!). So, are you going to splurge or save?

My Life File: Toronto Re-cap Part I

The ROM on a very lovely day

Time to fly from heavenly warm days in Miami to not-so-fall days in Toronto (the weather was so nice!). I guess that by now you probably figured out that I'm the designated photographer in the family (I love taking pictures so it's kind of self-imposed) so that's why there is very little of me in the pictures ;)

Someone really loves the swing

Blog Series: In my Makeup Bag

Sharing her favorite makeup products this week is Alison from Long Distance Loving. Known as {AV}, Alison is this super friendly girl who has a great and fun weekly series on her blog called Friday Fancies where you can link up an outfit you create. Is really fun to check out what other bloggers put together so make sure to check out her blog ;)

What's your current makeup bag?
This Kate Spade bag looks a lot like mine..though mine is just black and white.

Do you have a makeup tip or secret you would like to share?
I always wait five minutes after I put on my moisturizer before I apply any make-up. My face feels so much more refreshed and my make-up stays on better.

Any particular makeup trend that you're looking forward for fall? 
I really want to learn the ombre lip--I think it's so sexy and yet still so subtle.

How does your day makeup routine differs from your night time one?
I apply a darker crease eyeshadow and more eyeliner. I also tend to rock NARS Super Orgasm (rather than just Orgasm) for a night out on the town.

Get Alison's favorite products:
> NARS Blush in Orgasm
> Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer
> Marc Jacobs Lola
> Smythson Lizard-effect leather cosmetics case
> Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
> Makeup For Ever Full Cover Concealer
> Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow in Champagne
> Diorshow Waterproof Mascara in Black

Afternoons (some mornings too) at the park

Happy Weekend!

Well, the first week back in The Island wasn't that bad, went by pretty quickly as I was busy as hell. Today I found fresh baby spinach at the shop, yes, fresh! Couldn't believe it. Now, when I say I found Fresh spinach, this is the real picture: 4 little plastic boxes of spinach, that's it (naturally I took 2).
Hope you enjoy the weekend, I'll be trying to bring back to life my dried garden (hasn't rained in weeks!), and maybe, maybe, building a second veggie garden ;)

The following links caught my attention this week:

> Are you getting this vaccine? I got the plague but got over it without the vaccine or treatment ;)
> An interesting spin on smores.
> Wow, crazy guys.
> Beautiful cake for a girl.
> Lots of appetizer ideas, think cheese.
> The many faces of Amy Poehler.
>  A cool DIY dresser makeover
