A Big Announcement!

The last year and two months have been amazing keeping up with PS+GW and always sharing my latest in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, etc. When I first started blogging, I didn't take it that seriously and it was just a fun, creative outlet for myself. In just over a year, I have grown so much and have been experimenting with my own personal style and how I run my blog.

As you may or may not know, I am officially moving to Toronto in October to begin college at Toronto Film School for Marketing in Fashion and Entertainment. This will be a huge change for me and I would love for you to join me on that journey. With all of that being said, I will be discontinuing this Style + Beauty blog, and instead, starting a new one. A fresh, clean start for my new life in the city. I have found lately that my style is so versatile and I want to be able to experiment with new styles and trends. Whether it be super girly and feminine, or be more sophisticated and neutral. With making this blog over a year ago, I named my blog something that doesn't allow me to experiment with as many trends as I want to, and the aesthetic is not where I want it to be. I will be creating a new blog and have that launch on September 1st. Stay tuned!

Side note: I will still keep PS+GW up, but it will no longer be updated. All interviews I have done will be transferred over to the new blog. :)

ALSO - I recently chopped my hair off - so - I don't look like this anymore. If you would like to see proof, head over to my instagram page @mikaylakuehn.

For my last Pink Swatches and Gold Watches post, I have put together this outfit. A modern princess with a twist. I am wearing this window pane crop top, my favourite white tulle skirt, and a pale pink and pearl statement necklace. 

Enjoy the rest of your summer, and see you in September! It will be so weird not blogging for a while, but I am giving myself a small break while I perfect everything with the new platform.

The Couple Post

Thomas (my boyfriend) and I decided to do an outfit post together on my blog. These two looks are casual and perfect for summer. We are both wearing button down shirts with a print, and white shorts. Both of our shirts have the sleeves rolled up for extra coolness - since this summer has been filled with tons of heat! 

This post was fun to photograph together and it was a great way to include him on my blog. Though I did pick out this particular outfit for him, he does have a great style of his own! Leave me a comment to let me know if you would like to see Thomas in more posts in the future!

Summer Days: Spent by the Pool

It has been so nice and hot out lately - making it a perfect day to spend it swimming, tanning, and relaxing outside by the pool. I am lucky enough to have one right in my backyard. In today's post, I am sharing my recent find of this Triangl Swimwear ~dupe~ bikini top, and these adorable Marilyn Monroe inspired high-waisted bathing suit bottoms. 

I am in love with the colour pattern of this swim suit top: pink, white, and yellow. I also love the style and comfort of the high-waisted swim bottoms. 

I have been semi-planning on splurging on a Triangl swimsuit for a while now - but who really wants to fork out $80+ for a bathing suit (plus added shipping costs)?! I decided to take to the internet and do some research on "knock-off" Triangl swimwear. I came across this one in particular, with mostly great reviews. I am happy to now be the owner of that Triangl dupe, and so glad I decided to go ahead with it. This one only cost me $15 US. The only down fall with ordering this was that it took 5+ weeks to ship to Canada!

As for the high waisted bottoms, they were a little more pricey - but totally worth it. The high-waisted style is back on trend right now, and is a great piece to have in a bikini collection. I got black - because it goes with everything!

What I Wore:

Triangl Dupe Top // Ali Express

High Waisted Bottoms // Unique Vintage

Sunnies // Calico

Lipstick Shade // Petal Pink by Maybelline

As always, thanks for reading.

What I Wore: My 19th Birthday

This year (yesterday) I turned 19 years old! It was a great day spent with my family and boyfriend. I wore this adorable pink skater dress from Lulu's and my studded heels from Tobi. 

I loved dressing up for this occasion and going all-out with some festive balloons, cake, my first legal drink, and there might have been a sparkly tiara involved as well. You can check out my Insta page for all the birthday proof (@mikaylakuehn). 

If you want to see this outfit in motion, check out the look book video and I put together for my YouTube Channel!

As always, thanks for reading!

Floral Two-Piece Set

This outfit is a two piece set from an online store called Lulu's and I am literally obsessed with everything they have to offer! From the store's branding, to the instagram account, to each unique piece they sell - I love it! 

This outfit that I am wearing has a black and white and purple splashed floral print that is very elegant and modern. I am loving the trend of the a-line midi skirt and the matching crop top. The skirt even has pockets! How cool is that. 

I recently shared a haul video outlining everything I bought from Lulu's, Forever 21 + more - and you can check that video out on my YouTube channel here.

I am overly impressed with the quality of this set from Lulu's, but definitely not impressed with the shipping and cost of getting it here to Canada. The shipping was probably $10-$15 and then the duty fees totaled almost $100! I am in love with the pretty online shop Lulu's offers, but I may have to steer clear of shopping here again to avoid risk of being dinged for duty fees from U.S. to Canada! 

What I Wore:

Floral Crop Top + Skirt // Lulu's

Shoes // Shop Tobi

Sunnies // Calico

Lipgloss // Benefit Super Plush Dandelion
