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.

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!

XO, Mikayla

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

Blush Culottes

cu·lottes noun women's knee-length trousers, cut with very full legs to resemble a skirt.

                                           

I have jumped onto the trend on culottes - super comfy pants that are super loose and chic at the same time. I am loving these blush pink ones here, from Forever 21. 

I paired these pants with a black halter top, my black Celine Inspired bag, and some white and gold sandals. My hair is wavy and done up in a half up / half down top knot. 

What I Wore:

Culottes // Forever 21

Halter Top // LuLu*s

Bag // DAILYLOOK

Watch // Michael Kors

Ring // Gift from my Boyfriend

Sandals // Sears
