PRINT SKIRT

PRINT SKIRT

So many styles are trending this season, it’s simply the best summer for fashion if you ask me. One of the hottest trends right now is print – whether it’s florals, aztec or leopard, you can be sure to find something that you like. I love this printed skirt from Target. I stumbled upon it randomly while looking for a tank top. I think it looks great with this blush sweater but it could also look amazing with a white blouse or black tank top. I paired it with wedges, but flats could work as well for a more casual…

MY FITNESS PAL

MY FITNESS PAL

  Have you ever paid attention to what you eat? If you haven’t, give it a try (see what 50 grams of sugar really looks like by weighing it on a scale to get some perspective). On the other hand, if you have, you also certainly experienced people criticizing you by saying something like this: “Oh, you watch your calories? How do you live like that”? Now, that’s ok, everyone has their right to live the way they want but never be intimidated or feel judged by others. The simple answer to a question like that is: I live healthy…

IN FASHION WE TRUST

IN FASHION WE TRUST

I am simply in love with this Abercrombie & Finch t-shirt! Perfect fashionista message, don’t you think ladies? There was a huge sale on their website and I snagged it for $12! It goes perfectly with jeans & a blazer of any color or a leather jacket. These boyfriend jeans are the best money I spent in a while – they go with so many things in my closet. I know I keep repeating this, but I cannot stress it enough that you should supplement your closet with pieces that you can mix and match with the existent garments. I…

Wedding season is upon us! I don’t know about you ladies, but I have 3 weddings to attend this summer and as exciting as this may be, I needed to find 3 new dresses.

Look no more, I did the work for you! I picked my favourite 5 go to retailers for dresses – no matter the budget, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with one of these dresses. The pink bandage bodycon dress on…

PECAN PIE CHEESECAKE

PECAN PIE CHEESECAKE

Browsing through Pinterest for a new dessert idea, I fell on this recipe. I love pecan pie and I love cheesecake, so I thought the combination of the two would be divine – I wasn’t wrong! It was not an easy cake to make – it took a few hours, but it was definitely worth it. Everyone thought it was delicious & I have a new recipe to share with you girls: http://www.heidis-so-called-life.com/2010/11/pecan-pie-cheesecake.html Here are the ingredients I used: Let me know if you’ll try it & how it turns out :)

WHITE SHORTS

WHITE SHORTS

White is timeless, it’s in style every summer & it goes with everything. I got these white shorts on my trip to London last summer at Bershka & I’ve been wearing them for months after that. I’m so happy it’s finally warm outside so that I can wear them again. I usually like to wear shorts with flat sandals but I decided to give heels a try & I must admit I really like it. I got this olive blouse at Zara last summer as well. A lot of trends come back in style from year to year,  so when…

MANGO TARTAR

MANGO TARTAR

Over the long weekend we were hosting a dinner party & I needed a quick appetizer to prepare. I usually make a tartar (already gave you girls the recipe in my previous posts) but I wanted some variety, so I did some research and stumbled on this recipe: http://www.yuppiechef.com/spatula/salmon-tartare-with-mango-and-coriander/ I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like tartar! This recipe is perfect! I have eaten mango tartar in a restaurant before, but I was sacred to make it myself – honestly, it turned out great and everyone loved it. There is quite a few ingredients, such as sesame oil & wasabi…
