All I want to do is live by the sea.

The stresses of life are catching up with me, making my outfit today pretty standard work-wear by all accounts. Fashion and clothing are obviously huge priorities in my life, hence the very existence of this site, but sometimes they must take a backseat to other, less-fun things like one's finances, job, education and the various, endless etceteras that being 20-something consists of.
I've never really been one for beauty products, but I will concede to the fact that a cheer-myself-up trip to the wonderful Bloor Street Sephora ended up potentially changing my life or, more likely and less melodramatically, the way my skin looks on a daily basis. My helpful salesperson introduced me to a wonderful, magical product called Smashbox Primer and, after no more than 24 hours of using this beacon of shining light in a tube, I am officially and properly hooked.
All of you beauty junkies out there are probably laughing yourselves silly at me right now, but seriously, who knew this stuff existed and why did no one tell me before now? To be quite honest I'd rather no one answer that question because I'm too pleased to even care right now.
Speaking of superficial excitement, it was not until seeing today's photos that I realized how nautical I look. I've always had a thing for nautical-chic. Mind you I've yet to determine whether or not this H&M dress is navy or black (and I've owned it for two years) because I'm pretty sure that it changes colour depending on what it is paired with. In consideration of this fact I suppose this outfit is potentially nought nautical (a really lame pun, I'm aware) but it makes no difference to me.
Lastly, gorgeous dearest readers, I require your guidance in the very important matter of my hair: to go back to the straight-across, blunt bang or to not? A good deal of the comments I receive make some mention of my hair and I geniunely trust all of your opinions, plus I'm having a difficult time deciding which cut I prefer.
