Let’s Style: Tunics (+ GIVEAWAY)

May 21, 2017

When I started planning out what direction I wanted my blog to go, I knew I wanted to talk more about fashion (especially fashion for short, plus size ladies like myself)! SO!! I knew I wanted to start a fashion series called: Let’s Style. I will be choosing some of my FAVE pieces in my wardrobe and show you how I love to style it.

OK! Let’s get started with this GORGEOUS (seriously,  look how pretty these flowers are) tunic from Pinkblush Materinity (Plus size line). If you’re not pregnant, don’t fret (neither am I)-  because it’s not just for mama’s or soon to be mamas. They also carry straight and plus sizes.

What I love about this tunic is how flowy and light it is. Since my height falls under the 5’3 spectrum, it turned out to be more of a dress on me. I paired it with some chambray shorts (underneath the tunic) since it’s still a LITTLE bit short to be considered a dress.  The quality of the tunic is wonderful. It is definitely good quality! It does run on the bigger size (even for plus), so I would probably size down.  This little outfit I think is perfect for the spring-summer months and would look SUPER cute at a wedding.

For accessories, I kept it simple. I didn’t want to take away from the gorge floral pattern. For shoes I wore these Payless brown cut out, open toe sandals. They have a short, block heel so they’re super comfortable. I then wore gold stud earrings that I bought at a local boutique. The shorts (that are underneath) are from Ever New Melbourne last season.

I will definitely be wearing this outfit loads this summer!

(Ps. How CUTE is my dog Bailey??)

Now for the exciting part…

GIVEAWAY TIME!!

PinkBlush were absolute dolls and have teamed up with me to give one lucky lady a $50 Gift Card. Head on over to my instagram post  to learn more!

Mikasa Beauty Brushes | AD

May 12, 2017

*Affiliated Links

When Mikasa Beauty reached out to me about their products, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try them. I love testing out new makeup and new makeup brushes! With spring here comes spring cleaning – out with the old and in with the new. If your makeup brushes have seen it’s last face, then it may be time to rid yourself of them and invest in some new, high quality (and affordable) brushes.

What I love about these brushes is their look and feel. I’m a sucker for a minimalistic black and white product. I’m also a sucker for Mac brushes, and these look the same as a Mac brush. My holy grail of eye brushes is the Mac 217 (which retails for $25 CAD). Mikasa has a tapered blending brush that retails for $12 (Half the price!) that works just as well. That’s a dupe if I ever did see one.

Another thing I love about these brushes is the feel. They are SO soft – and who doesn’t love a soft brush! It feels FAB on the skin and blends my makeup in lovely. Their site offers makeup sets that can go up to $90-$100.

Overall, I’d say Mikasa brushes are a worthy investment. If you would like to learn more about the brushes and cosmetics that they offer, click here.

ALSO! Mikasa was so lovely that they even provided a 25% DISCOUNT CODE. UM, YES PLEASE! I do love a good discount sale and if I can provide that to you, even better! At the end of your purchase, enter: JENNHILDEBRAND25 to receive 25% off.

Happy Shopping!

Tiptoed Through the Tulips

May 5, 2017

Friends!

Spring has finally showered us with it’s presence (literally, it’s been raining NON STOP in BC). With spring showers comes May flowers, which obviously means the Abbotsford Tulip Festival! I had never been before, so when my friend Gaby asked if I wanted to go with her, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity!

If you are in the lower mainland (British Columbia, Canada), I highly recommend checking the Bloom tulip festival out (if not this year, then definitely next!). It is absolutely gorgeous. It runs until May 14th so time is running out. Tickets are $8 at “the door”, or you can purchase tickets online. It is a fun activity for people of all ages! My biggest piece of advice is to wear boots, or shoes with good traction. I didn’t expect there to be so much mud and wore my white adidas shoes. Let’s just say that was a bad life choice. They do try to make it easy for people to walk with pallet board docks to walk over muddy puddles, but these paths do not run everywhere. So it’s best to be prepared!

OUTFIT:

Top: Forever21 Plus
Dungaree dress: Primark UK
Sunglasses: Aldo Accessories
Backpack: Primark UK
Shoes: Adidas

Happy Spring!
