Cuddling Up to Spring
Given how Vancouver’s weather can change on a dime - where one day it’s a balmy 25 degrees Celsius and the next day it’ll be 13 degrees and raining, you can’t quite do a wholesale change with your closet. That’s why I keep sweaters in my dresser year-round. You never know when they’ll be handy and hey - they’re super comfortable and cuddly...
Jumpstart Jumpsuit
The weather in Vancouver is now finally warming up during the day but it can still get quite chilly at night. When this happens, I usually call on my trusty jumpsuit when I head out for the night. Still keeping most of me covered (i.e., warm), it's a great way to dress up without actually wearing a dress. And the whole off-the-shoulder thing nudges it into the fancy category without trying too hard...
Easing into Spring
Let's face it, with the current weather we've had in Vancouver (i.e., rain showers, torrential downpour, more showers, light drizzle, five hours of sun, rain, and more rain) it's been increasingly hard to get motivated for Spring. Yes, April showers bring May flowers - and the streets of Vancouver are now lined with cherry blossom trees in full bloom. But honest to God I'm sick of waking up every morning staring at the rain and I've lived here my whole life! So you can imagine why no Vancouverite in their right mind would...
Minimal Effort, Maximum Comfort
When I started my blog back in November 2014, it was for the purposes of reporting on my annual visits to Paris Fashion Week and getting inspired by all the gorgeous, beautiful pieces on the runway. Even today, my blog remains a place for eclectic expression in the form of fashion and style. My actual off-camera reality, however, couldn’t be further from what you often see on my Instagram feed...
Wardrobe Recycling
As a fashion and style blogger, you're often feeling the pressure to keep your wardrobe current. That often means constantly acquiring new stuff in your closet, whether by your own means or sponsored through a label or retailer. However it ends up on the hanger though, it's still just more stuff. These last few months as I've been thinking more about the concept of simplification, I feel the need to extend this to my wardrobe...
Your Authentic Self
Authenticity is one of those characteristics that you assume you're born with and can exude quite naturally. By definition, it means you are being genuine in your approach to everything you say, do, think and feel. But do we? Truly? Do we go about our daily lives not worrying about how others think of us or afraid of others judging us?
Me, Myself and I: Seize the Day
Seeing as it’s the start of a new year, it usually means reset time. But to reset also means to pay tribute to who you have been up to this point. Understanding how you got here will help give better guidance on the road ahead. So I thought I would spend some time on what I was like as a kid to give you a glimpse of who I am today...
A Blue Christmas
Not to worry - I’m not feeling blue, loves. I’m just inspired by the beautiful sapphire jewel tones on this bomber jacket paired with a microsuede sleeveless dress - part of Floriane Fosso’s holiday collection.
