Violette 16x30: Two Things



Violette: I Want

Today marks the end of our shopping ban. Yay!

We aren't done with the 30x30 challenge yet, but prior to the challenge, Rose and I decided to do the shopping ban part of the challenge for the month of February only. We'll continue (and finish!) the challenge, but we are now allowed to shop. In a way, it's kind of a tease because if we shop, we won't wear the new additions to our wardrobe before a couple of weeks haha!

To celebrate this day, I made a little list of what I want right now.

Polka dot dress (Zara, 59,90 CAD)

Handbag (Zara, 99,90 CAD)


Red shoes with block heel (Aldo, 80 CAD)


Warby Parker prescription glasses, 95 USD


Nude pumps (Aldo, 80 CAD)


Katy Perry for OPI, Shattered


Wide-leg jeans (Gap, 79,50 CAD)


Oxford-style ballerinas (Aldo, 60 CAD)

Tis The Season: Award Red Carpets Recap

The Academy Awards being the last major award event of the season, I thought I would do a little recap of the most beautiful dresses of the red carpets.

I notice one major trend: structure. Even dresses that tend to be a little more flowy have a structural item. They all have a distinct and solid shape, as if the ladies who wore them were the accessory, and the dress being the actual center of attention.

These are only a few of my favourites, please do share the ones you preferred. But mostly the ones you hated, because it's so much funnier. We all need to know that superstars also make bad fashion choices, like regular people (and yes I'm talking to you Golden Globes Emma Stone... !)
