Hey guys! I went and bought vintage items for the first time! I found out about this store called the Foxy Boutique which was closing down and everything in the store was 50% - 75% off. Since vintage is a very big thing in the fashion community, I decided, why not? So I went on Monday to check it out and this is what I came back with:


Since you can't see very well, the belt is this jean blue and gold woven design. So so pretty in real life! And I also found these adorable vintage clip-on earrings that were handmade in Italy! For both, I got them for $5! Not a bad price indeed.

The day after, this was the outfit I ended up wearing:

shirt from H&M
vest from Worth. by David C Wigley at Ukamaku
skirt from Jacob
tights from Zara, hand-me-down
earrings from capitolagirl

If only Vian lives near me so I don't have to resort to a camera on timer... Speaking of which, Vian did a photoshoot with her friend Cynthia (which you can see past shoots here and here) this week and will be posting a series of outfits soon!

March Break Haul

This is a combination of gifts, and stuff from Montreal and Toronto that I got during this March Break.

Weekend Burberry Perfume (gift)

Chianti Rose Lipgloss Shiseido (gift)

Roxy Cardigan from Simons -$44

Green Sweater from American Eagle -$30

Brown Skirt from Urban Outfitters -$20

Striped Sweater from Urban Outfitters -$30

This is my prom dress! I got it at Lemor, which is a store on Queen Street in Toronto. It cost $260 and is basically this nude kind of colour. My next objective now is to find a nice pair of matching heels to go along with it!

Be Fashionable, Be Charitable

Japan is in a devastating situation right now and I'm doing my best in every way to help. Over on my book review blog, I am giving away free advanced review copies of teen novels. However, you have to pay for the shipping because I cannot afford it. All the shipping fees will become a donation towards Red Cross Canada. Click here to check out the post. If you have a teen or is someone who loves to read, this is a great way to contribute.

Today, I have compiled a list of Etsy sellers who are selling their fashionable items with part or all of their proceeds going to Japan in some way. Click seller's name or image(s) to be redirected to their shop.

Have an Etsy shop or something similar and is doing the same thing? Email me at faked_sugartone at hotmail with appropriate title (so I know it's not junk) and I will feature you.
