VIP at Bead Boutique

The WLUFLS would like to extend a special thank you to those fabulous ladies who came out to the VIP Bead Boutique Party this past Sunday. Thanks to the very kind Jess the WLUFLS had the entire shop to themselves - and did we ever take advantage of it! Everyone who came out was able to make their own piece of custom jewellery, in addition to the 10% storewide discount which was made exclusive to our members. We hope that everyone who came out enjoyed their night as much as we did and are still rocking their awesome Bead Boutique jewellery. 

If you wanted to come out and unfortunately couldn’t make it you are in luck! On Wednesday November 20th our long time sponsor Meow Boutique will be hosting our annual shopping party. The store will be opened up to WLUFLS members and a discount of 20% will be made available. Unfortunately the 20% off will not apply to greeting cards, but Meow’s awesome vintage vibe is worth checking out. See the link below for the Facebook event, we hope to see you there!

Sweat Away Your Frustrations

Like every other university student on the face of the earth, I am absolutely swamped with work. We all know that November is a time where the days are shorter and the to-do lists are longer so frustrations (and sleep deprivation) are bound to arise. I wanted to write this so that all of you stressed out students can know that a) you are not alone and b) you can feel better! 

While it wasn't always, my go-to stress reliever is a good workout. Of course it is hard to pull away from our studies or peel ourselves off of the couch, but I guarantee you it is worth it. If you are reading this and rolling your eyes, assuming I am the typical namaste health freak I promise you I am not. I am a regular student who found themselves getting a little too stressed and also tired of using excessive amounts of carbs to ease the pain. I wanted to see what all this fitness chit chat was about, and if it really was as easy as everyone made it seem. 

After my first week at the gym I realized that it is easy to turn a bad day into a good workout - in fact you do it without even really knowing. Half the battle is getting your runners on and doing something, but once you get on that treadmill, elliptical, or stairclimber you can slowly feel yourself calming down. You suddenly become less focused on your term paper due next week, and more focused on what you are doing right then and there. 

Ladies and gentlemen, if you find yourselves feeling as though you are about to give up hope and drop out of school take a deep breathe and channel your frustrations elsewhere. You will not only be getting some great exercise, but you will be giving your hard working brain a much needed break. 

Happy studying and stay stylish, xo.

Halloween Inspo

Here at the WLUFLS, we think that the 31st falling on a Thursday is a blessing in disguise since it turns Halloween day into Halloween week! This year one of our very talented members, Emily Hunt put her makeup skills to use and hosted a Halloween themed fundraiser. For a donation she created works of art and I want to share them with you. If you are still searching for a costume, check out these incredible looks and get inspired! 

Again, a huge thank you to Emily Hunt for the makeup and to Mitch Brewer for the gorgeous photos. 

Wishing everyone a very happy, and safe Halloween. Stay stylish, xo

Great Look

The Ombre

Ombre: the hairstyle that dominated 2012.

What first started with chic, daring celebrities, then made it's way to tumblr and fashion blogs alike and is now seen virtually everywhere. I myself began to sport the ombre style as of late last year but what I'm curious to know is whether the look will continue to prevail, or will its fame be short lived? Will women be able to work the soft, cozy look into their summer style? Perhaps the ombre is a fall/winter phenomenon, forcing us style watchers to just wait and see. As for now, work your ombre for it adds some amazing style and colour to the drab winter scenery we are forced to endure.

Class is Back!

It's time to come out of your Christmas coma everyone, classes resume bright and early tomorrow morning! Dust off your boots and prepare for the brisk, snowy walk to campus, and treat yourself to some Starbucks to compliment your chic ensemble. On behalf of all the WLUFL Society execs I'd like to wish you the best of luck in term two, stay stylish! xo

Work the snow into your look by playing with metallics and soft neutrals, the colours work wonderfully with some fluffy white snow. Cute military boots never hurt either! 

The Sexiest Night of Television

Tonight is the highly anticipated Victoria's Secret fashion show. Naturally the WLUFLS fashionistas will be gathering together to watch this iconic show and we want everyone to join us! Follow the link below to our facebook event and come out tonight for food, fun and an amazing show.

In a Rush?

With the last couple weeks of school finally upon us I can only imagine the kind of stress everyone is experiencing. I'd like to remind you that this stress does not mean you can't still look fabulous for class or for a day at the library. Remember, when you look good you feel good!

Pictured above is one of my favourite looks for fall. Not only is this ensemble unspeakably comfortable, it is fashion forward and chic. Add your coziest knit sweater to a pair of bold printed leggings and you have a quick outfit that will turn heads. With such a simple outfit it would be best to add subtle accessories like the classic pearl earrings pictured, or a long necklace that will accent your sweater.

Olivia Palermo always looks chic, no matter what. She is pictured above in a simple outfit that is easy to put together- especially if you are in a rush. Black tights and black boots paired with any kind of poncho or oversized knit is an effortless way to look put together while remaining comfortable. Add a large bag like Olivia to add a pop of colour!

Halloween Fashion Bash Photos

We finally have the photos ready from our event last week! It was a fabulous night filled with beautiful people and delicious food. Special thanks to our events executives for all of their hard work.
