Lauren Conrad NYFW 2015

I literally just watched the live stream of the Lauren Conrad 2015 NYFW debut and now I’m all giddy with excitement. I LOVE Lauren ever since ever. She’s one of my role models and her collection was everything that you would imagine it to be- blush pink and white tones with gentle hints of color and sparkle- not to mention the tulle. It’s a perfect mix of whimsical meets modern day fairy-tale and I’m dyinggg over here. I need one of everything.

You can shop the entire collection here and you can watch the show here if you missed it. Check out my top 5 looks below!

Dinner at the 360 Restaurant | CN Tower

If you’re in Toronto and you want the full CN Tower experience, then dining at the 360 Restaurant (yes it rotates and no you don’t feel a thing) is a must. Not only is the view absolutely breath-taking, but the food is a perfect compliment to the entire experience.

My advice is to take the prix fixe menu (aka the price is fixed and so are the meal options) and with that, you get a free elevation* which basically means you won’t have to buy a ticket to go up that very long elevator chute #GIVEITTOMEIMWORTHIT

P.S. if you’re in Toronto, here are 5 food places you HAVE to try.

Something New I’ve Been Trying

Soooo basically social media is a huge part of my hobby – which is making YouTube videos and blogging-  so it’s no wonder that I’m ALWAYS on my iPhone snapchatting, instagramming, tweeting or doing some other related thing.

I realized I barely even take the time to have a normal conversation with my friends, read a book or just go out and do something that doesn’t involve being on my phone or computer. So I decided to practice something new.

Gulp.

 I don’t know when exactly when or how I came up with this idea, but it could have been when I realized I bought a huge pile of books I never read, because really, when the eff do I get a chance to read.

P.S. Harry Potter doesn’t count because I ALWAYS have time for Harry.

I have always always been a bookworm and the fact that I don’t get to read my books or even buy new books is really a horrific and traumatic thing. Obviously it doesn’t have to be reading if you’re not a fan of reading- it could be something that you love but just don’t have “the time” to do. So hence I came up with this little idea.

DIY Cute School Supplies & Blotting Sheets

Hey babes!

It’s time again for another #B2SwithRoxy video. Last week’s video got sooooo much love from you- especially with the free printables I made for you to download. Let’s just say I was definitely inspired to make lots more.

In this video, I’ll be showing you how I made pretty pencils with gold quotes and blotting sheets. Yea- blotting sheets because I NEED THESE LIKE NO OTHER. Seriously, my skin can’t control itself and it’s always always oiling out. Usually I would run in a bathroom for a tissue but I decided to make my own so I can carry in my bag.  And ofc share it with you.

P.S. if you made anything be sure to tweet me or instagram me a pic! Enjoy the video and don’t forget to subscribe.
