Q&A

Hello everyone, so I decided to do a Q&A and posted about it on my Fashion Instagram and on my Facebook page and got quite a few emails so I picked 10 questions and I am going to answer them here.1. How tall am I? I am precisely just under 5'8, so let's just say 5'7.5.

2. At what age did I start Modeling?At the age of 14.

3. Do I just post things because I get paid to do so?No, I post the items because I love the product, and I think about what my friends and family will like too. I usually always get a discount code to share with my followers. I wanna be able to share little things, I love when my favourite Instagram girls post codes for stuff, it's nice to get yourself a little treat sometimes. (Retail therapy maybe..)

4. What foundation do I use?To be honest, I own one Bobbi Brown BB cream, I don't usually like wearing foundation, I do out a little concealer on blemishes but I just do a little contour and highlighting using Anastasia Beverly Hills cream contour kit in Light and dark and then the powder contour kit to set it. 

5. What is my ethnicity?I am Fijian and Dutch.
 6. What is my favourite perfume?I have two, Hypnotic Poison Dior and Prada Candy.

7. Do I have siblings?I have 3 half sisters, a brother (my bestest friend), and a new baby brother or sister will be added to the family this August. 

8. What is my style?I would say my style is minimalistic, simple yet chic with some statement pieces. My evening outfits are more glammed with some blingy accessories. (Always a statement handbag or clutch.) 

9. Where am I from?I was born and raised in Vancouver BC  Canada, and then when I was about 8 years old I moved to small town called Mission and moved back to the city 3 years ago.

10. What drives you and motivates you? I would say that my boyfriend does, of course I've always wanted to be apart of the fashion world and model but I am extremely shy and he's the reason I did it because he believed in me and pushed me to go for what I had always dreamed about, otherwise in the future I could regret not going. Thanks to him I had the courage to model and explore Asia and now am pushing towards creating my own collection and creating my own brand/company. He's really taught me a lot and guided me down a good path so he's really my motivator, teacher and my love. And of course my family. I am just very grateful for the amazing people in my life and the amazing people I get to virtually interact with thanks to social media who also motivate and cheer people on. You guys are truly amazing! I love you guys xoxo ❤️Sincerely, Janice J.

Happy Friday

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!! I am just getting over being extremely sick and haven't posted in a while but I'm now alive ! Hallelujah! 

So, I've been extremely obsessed with nude neutrals and many shades of beige. 

Here's two of the outfits I wore this week, it was an H&M haul because this was my first little trip to the mall in just over a month, both James and I bought all whites and nudes.. It was quite beautiful. 

 

Spring Haul

My Favourite Spring Pieces from Shop Maccs.

Blush Maxi Dress 

I love this dress so much, perfect for so many occasions! Pair it with a matte white clutch and white high heels or sandals. Add some beautiful jewellery to dress it up more or even a gorgeous sun hat for summer days on the beach! So many different ways to rock this dress!

Lovely Lace Top (Comes in Black and White) 

I can't decide which one I like more. Both the black and white look absolutely Beautiful ! 

It goes great paired with light denim jeans, pencil skirts, shorts, a long maxi skirt and more. I can't wait to wear it this summer under my swimsuit actually, the back is mesh with lace so it will look gorgeous having a sexy bikini peak through under the top. 

Chance Playsuit (White, comes in various colours) 

I am a huge fan of Playsuits and rompers, I have an ongoing collection of them as I just cannot get enough! It pairs beautifully with light coloured statement pieces and to give it more of a night look, change your nude lipstick to a deep red, throw on your best pair of black heels to make your legs look amazing, a black clutch and some bold dangly earrings to accentuate your neck and your features. 

 Voila! 

Also, last but not least, I had to share these adorable head pieces from 'I Wear The Headress'. Check out their Instagram page for beautiful accessories!

FÉVRIER

Hello Loves ! Here is my outfit of the day, perfect for making several stops at Starbucks, lunch dates and running errands. 

My pale blue coat is from H&M which can be paired with office attire or casual leggings and a plain tee or lacy top. 

My Sunglasses are from Zara but from about two years ago but I have seen pretty much the same ones at H&M and Ray Ban has really nice ones that I've been eyeing. My bag is my staple bag, Black Pebble Leather Celine Nano.

My Shoes are also from Zara, they were a great price and they may still have them!

Hello loves! Todays look of the day is Rocker Chic for a lunch date and running errands while also staying warm. Instead of heels, a cute pair of black sneakers or flats also looks adorable!
My black leather jacket is from Maniere Devoir (www.Manieredevoir.com). The leather is soft and very detailed with shiny zippers and a velvety feel to the material on the arms. My lace top is from Guess, I believe I got it 3 years ago now but its super cute and versatile.
The white leather skinny jeans are also from Maniere Devoir. It has a very edgy look with zippers on the knee which zips closed as well. The pants also look great with an oversized sweater for a more casual look.
These heels are from Christian Louboutin, my little Christmas gift from my love. And my bag is a Celine Nano Luggage which is my favourite bag right now, its all I've been using lately as its pretty spacious surprisingly and goes with all my outfits as i tend to wear a lot of black and neutrals.

MAKEUP DETAILS
I am wearing Bobbi Brown BB cream in medium as i don't like wearing tons of foundation, Anastasia Contour Palette to accentuate my cheekbones, jawline and the tip of my nose.
I am using Luxie Beauty's Eyeshadow, its an orangey brown that makes hazel/green eyes stand out with winged eyeliner, i finish my eye by putting on my new favourite lashes from (www.SLmissglambeauty.com @SLMISSGLAM) called 'Seduced Glam', these lashes are mink but i made sure they are cruelty free as I am an animal advocate and love all animals.
For my lips i used Bobbi Brown lipliner in 'Brownie Pink' and then put Anastasia's new lip liquid lipstick in the colour 'Bloodline' on top.

I hope you enjoyed my little look of the day.

xoxo.

Heel Obsession this Season

I definitely am addicted to shoes. All beautiful shoes !! 

Right now, here are my favourite 3.

My Black Givenchy Boots, they are so comfortable, little pricey but I did see online they have replicas that are nice but minus the shark tooth.

Its very versatile with outfits, you can wear with with a dress (above the knee), peplum skirts, tight skirts, pantyhose with an oversized sweater, leather pants, jeans, a nice pair of trendy shorts. Definitely worth every penny! 

I got these booties from Zara in Seattle back in the fall and just like the givenchy, they can work with pretty much any outfit, I tend to wear a lot of black. I love my neutrals and shades! 

I wear these, Tight leather pants, a black blouse and a blazer, long trench coat or faux fur coat, and of course big sunglasses to top it off.

These beauties I'm obsessed with, I do not own them yet but they are next on my list. These are made from an Amazing show designer Monica Chiang. This style is called 'Imena Sandals'. They come in several colours. Just absolutely beautiful.
