Kerri Wears Colour

I'm branching out and I bought colourful pants.  I decided that the only way I can join in with the bright pants club is if I wear cropped pants.  That way, my legs look longer so it doesn't make me look like a tree stump.  


I bought these red-orange pants from Suzy Shier for $22!  It was a good find.  My friends all think the pants are red but I honestly see a tinge of orange.  They fit very well in comparison to my Aritzia T. Babaton Elliot pants.  They come in black, red-orange, khaki and white.  They are a great substitute for my T. Babaton pants if you don't want to spend $95.  The Suzy Shier ones are slightly shorter than the Aritzia ones.  These pants are super stretchy and they fit a size too big.  I'm wearing them in a size 1 when I'm naturally a size 3.   And no, the gym didn't pay off that quick so I'm sure I didn't go down a dress size lol. 

A group of us decided to go Downtown to have a drink at a Korean establishment. This is what I wore tonight: 

Wilfred cardigan (old), Wilfred Madeline tank (old), Suzy Shier pants,
 Christian Louboutin Simple 100 and Balenciaga Giant City in Papyrus (similar)

I also bought the infamous $12.95 sheer white with gold buttons blouse from H&M and a white gauzy scarf from Forever 21 for $7.80!  I'm pretty proud that I wasn't spending much on clothes lately.  Even if I did break my shopping ban (my friend is saying "I told you so" right this moment), it was was broken with great pieces that are economical. 

Up close and personal:


Tomorrow I'm going to a club Downtown and I'll be wearing emerald green shorts! Yup!  You'll be seeing more color soon!

Review - Deborah Lippmann Polish Remover Finger Mitts

I got a Debroah Lippmann "The Stripper to Go" Polish Remover Finger Mitt as a sample in one my orders from Nail Polish Canada I did a while back.  I'm not a nail polish person because I never find the time to do my nails.  And when I do, I somehow don't have the time to wait for them to dry so I ruin them during the process of putting on my clothes...Then I get angry and end up removing the nail polish.


For example, I was putting on some nail polish on the weekend and I didn't strategically think it through.  So I end up putting on 6 coats of OPI Divine Swine on each nail (it's glittery so it needs lots of coats to be a solid colour).  After finishing those excessive layers of nail polish, that is when I brilliantly realized that I did not like the look.  What a waste of time.


So I remembered I had this nail polish remover mitt from Deborah Lippmann.  I was saving it for a time I had to remove something really tedious like glitter nail polish!  Let's see how well it took off my glitter nail polish.


I realized I would never wear this glitter polish alone.  Maybe just over top a fuchsia nail polish.  It's just too bling and pink for me.  


The mitt is very moist.  I suggest quickly removing your nail polish because it's not as effective when the mitt is dried out. 



Overall, the finger mitt did a great job removing the stubborn glitter nail polish.  Without the mitt, I know I would have taken more time to remove the glitter.  I would only use this to remove stubborn designs or glitter nail polishes because it doesn't seem worth to use on everyday nail polish.  This is a great product to use if you are rushed for time or in a hurry to take off your nail polish. 

You can buy Deborah Lippmann "The Stripper to Go" Polish Remover Finger Mitt at Nail Polish Canada.  They come in a box of 6 individually packeted finger mitts for $12.00.

GIVEAWAY - Silver Chronograph Watch

I'm so thankful for all the people who take the time read my blog. I love this hobby of mine. It just started off as a creative outlet to document my fashion and beauty acquisitions. I have no intention to make a living off this nor making it big in the blogging community. However, I cannot deny that this blog helped me do things I never thought I would be doing, such as: networking with other bloggers in Vancouver, attending fashion shows, attending launch parties, receiving free clothes in exchange for modeling shots, receiving beauty supplies in exchange for a detailed review and so much more.

So as I promised, I will be doing a blog giveaway to celebrate reaching 100,000 hits or 100 subscribers (which ever came first).I'm giving away a brand new elegant silver watch with rhinestones from Roots. It is the Roots City Glam watch. This watch is no longer on the Roots website. I'll do my best to describe it. The band is adjustable and the silver band is shiny and matte. The diameter of the face is 40mm across so it is an oversized watch look. It retails for $135. It is mercury and nickel free. Comes with a pebbled leather box. More details about this watch here. I took some photos (just ignore the white paper that lay in between the watch straps), I think they are there just to ensure that the watch is new and to reduce rubbing.








THE DETAILS:

- Deadline Saturday, April 14th before 11:59pm PST
- I will email you the following day and you have 48hrs to confirm to the email or the prize will be redrawn for another winner
- I will ship this anywhere (USA, Canada, and International)
