Autumn Haul 2016 Bestdayblogger.com

I’m very excited to share with you my Autumn haul. I’ve been very lucky this year and one of the many lucky things is that I had the opportunity to attend the CITYLINE taping with Dave Lackie. At the end of the show I won a $500 gift card to Marshalls. I don’t have a Marshalls close to my home so I decided to use the card at Winners. All the items in this Haul are not just from Winners though. I have a couple of items that I purchased.

I would like to say a huge thank you to CITYLINE and to Tracy Moore and Dave Lackie for this amazing and wonderful opportunity. I’m truly grateful and I’m very blessed to have won. Everything marked with an * has been purchased with the gift card.

I really needed a nice Autumnal Coat and this gift card came at the perfect time. I found the prettiest black coat to match my handbag that my husband kindly bought for my birthday. In the photo I’m wearing the *Michael Kors black coat which goes with the handbag. I love the coat because it tapers at the waist and I love big collars. It is warm and lined beautifully. I really love the simplicity and elegance of this coat. I’m also wearing *”Wanna Betta Butt?” jeans by Royalty For Me. These are light and stretchy “slim fit skinny jeans”. What I love about the jeans is that they fit so nicely and feel really comfortable. I really love clothing that feel comfortable so these jeans are perfect.

My *boots are Clarks and these are also from Winners. They zip up at the sides. They are flat, waterproof and super comfortable. They are also lined inside with warm material perfect for Autumnal weather.

I’m madly in love with this *American Eagle mustard/yellow sweater. I absolutely love it and my jeans are *Levi’s Boot Cut. They are super comfortable and I love a good dark blue jean.

My *David Jones purse is super comfortable for everyday and it’s not too big. I love the design inside the purse. It has a floral vintage feel to it. Along with the long handle it also has a chain to give it some edge. I love the stitching on the top flap of the bag. Very vintage, modern and edgy at the same time. Perfect in my opinion.

My light brown boots are ankle boots and have a crisscross design at the top with a zipper at the back. I really like them because they have a bit of a heel which gives me hight and I also love the colour. I also love the design of the upper part of the boot. These boots look really amazing with jeans, tights and a dress and are very comfortable.

I chose two *flannel tops from Winners and I have a huge love for flannel top and flannel anything! Flannel blankets are cozy as well. The first flannel top is cream with navy blue and a lot of red. The second one is cream, navy blue and red just like the first one but the navy blue is bolder and more pronounced. I’m also wearing the*”Wanna Betta Butt?” jeans by Royalty For Me and my *Clark booties.

Here I’m wearing the same jeans and booties but with a lovely cream knitted sweater. I really love the warmth and coziness of this American Eagle Outfitters sweater. I love wearing knitted long sweaters with fitted jeans and also with tights and boots. This sweater is very cozy and warm and perfect for Autumn.

I needed dresses so I bought a *Calvin Klein Black dress that is knee length with lines that cut diagonally. This dress can be dressed up or down. Very classic and simple yet elegant and beautiful. I also bought a *grey sleeveless dress that feels really nice and I love the pleated waist and lines on the dress. I feel this would look lovely layered with a top and nice tights and boots. I love layering in the fall and using different textures and colours. Both of these dresses can be worn in many ways.

On the weekend my husband bought me the most beautiful scarf that I really wanted from Topshop. It has my favourite Autumnal colours and it feels so soft and warm. I love the red and burnt orange/brown in the scarf. I also fell in love with a coat in Topshop. It’s a mustard/yellow coat and I’m so in love with it. I rarely desire or fall in love with clothing but I’m so so very happy that I’m interested in clothing in a positive way again. Before it use to stress me out but now I’m madly loving textures, colours and fabrics. I’m very happy with all the pieces that I’ve chosen for Autumn. I feel I can mix and match so many pieces together and layer them.

Overall I love clothing that can be worn in many different ways that are simple yet versatile. I love textures, colours and lines and really love the feel of various materials.

I’m very pleased with my Autumn Haul and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Thank you so much to CITYLINE , Tracy Moore and Dave Lackie for the amazing Gift Card. My shopping spree was incredible and I’m truly grateful! It is a dream come true! Thank you from my heart!

Elizabeth Arden Launch Party A Dave Lackie Event #ArdenBeauty #ArdenLove

On Wednesday August 24th I attended a Dave Lackie Dinner party for Elizabeth Arden’s new skincare and makeup products.

The day started with getting my hair styled by a hair stylist from STYLU. I’ve blogged about the amazing app on my blog, if you like have a look. STYLU New On Demand Beauty Provider app. Because I blogged about Stylu I was kindly given a credit for my blogging services. I’m truly grateful because my lovely Stylist Monique did an incredible job! I’m so pleased at how easy it is to book a stylist with Stylu app and I’ll definitely be using the app again. The app allows you to book anytime and any day to where ever you want! They will come to your desired destination. This is such a great app for busy mommies. I’m so happy about this app being available because it is very hard to take my children to the hair salon. This way the stylist will come to your desired address. It is the simplest and most easy app I have ever used and I will continue to use in the future.

Following the hair style, I did my makeup. I used Chanel’s Fall Collection followed by the outfit for the evening which consisted of black pants from Reitmans, black boots from Winners, a striped top and light red jacket by Susy Shier.

Here is the link to the striped top if you like. -> TOP

I then traveled down town Toronto to the Aria Ristorante which is located at 25 York Street. The private room was decorated beautifully with fresh flowers and beautiful linen. The decor was perfection!

Along with the decorations the Elizabeth Arden beauty products were displayed around the room with beautiful flowers and arranged so nicely for picture taking. I love the creativity that went into the displays!

Truly exquisite don’t you think? I’m absolutely loving all the new lip products and skincare. I adore the new liquid liners and the fragrance is so sweet and floral. Very stunning! So many beautiful new products from Elizabeth Arden I can’t contain my self!

The evening continued with beautiful dinner and speeches.

I also had the pleasure of being in good company with lovely guests and fellow bloggers.

Here I’m with the lovely Christine, the author of Mom Loves Makeup. She is so kind, sweet and I really enjoy her company.

Here I’m having an amazing time with the beautiful Cat the author of MyLipAddiction.com Cat is a ray of sunshine and beautiful from the inside and out! She always brings such positive energy to the room and the people around her. She inspires me so much!

Here is the inspirational Dave Lackie. He is so down to earth, kind and sweet. I highly recommend that you take a look at his amazing Beauty Guide Magazine. It’s Amazing! I also love his website and adore his lovely articles and giveaways too. I recently read the article on his website written by Beth Anderson and the article is The Red Door a History of Elizabeth Arden. You should have a look because it is a wonderful article.

Hello from @Bestdayblogger 😉

I had a really lovely time talking and chatting with all the guests and fellow bloggers. I’m totally honoured and grateful to have been in the same room with so many creative and wonderful individuals. Truly a blessing.

Weekend Fun & Easter Blessings!

Hello! I hope you had a lovely Easter Weekend! I’m very blessed because I get to celebrate two Easters. The Greek Orthodox Easter is May 1st and It’s a blessing to have two celebrations. I always spend Easter with Family and it’s always so lovely. The kids play and paint eggs and we sit and eat together and have a good time. It’s always really special. I’m very grateful that we create beautiful memories especially for the children.

My Sister-in-law made the prettiest cupcakes!

Beautiful table setting.

I posted my OOTD (outfit of the day) photo on my instagram account. This is what I wore at the family Easter Dinner. My friend Humara picked out the dress for me. Thank you so much Humara! It’s from American Eagle Outfitters. I love that store! I would buy everything from that store if I could. A really pretty floral dress and my glasses are from Reitmans, my cardigan is from Walmart, my boots are from Winners and of course the new love in my life Michael Kors handbag that my hubby bought as an early Birthday gift. I haven’t created an outfit of the day since summer and I was inspired by Humara. She is truly amazing at Style and fashion and I admire that about her. What do you think of this outfit? Would you like to see more style and fashion on my blog?

So after the wonderful dinner my sister-in-law filled our bellies with lovely desserts!

Also this weekend Humara and I went shopping at the Scarborough Town centre and I can’t wait to bring you our VLOG! We vlogged together and it was so much fun to see the new ZARA store. It is huge! There’s a men’s clothing store, women’s and children’s store! I’m putting the vlog together today. I hope to have it up by tomorrow with another post for you. Would you like to subscribe to my VLOG channel? I would love your support.

Here is the lovely Humara and I at the Kastor & Pollux Instalation at the Scarborough Town Centre.

The Kastor & Pollux Installation offers a lot of places to take creative photos.The installation is a collaboration with ZARA at the Scarborough town centre to offer the community a chance to win a gift card. I believe they took the installation down but the contest is still open until April. For more information you can have a look at Scarborough Town Centre website.
