Winter Walks

In the summer, things seem easier for me. The weather is great and there doesn’t seem to be excuses not to do things.

But when the temperatures drop, excuses are everywhere. From the unbearable temperatures, to the slightest feeling of a cold coming, simple things like walks and social engagements seem to take the back burner for staying in and becoming somewhat of a couch potato.

This year, however, I’m fighting against the urges to stay-in and forcing myself to enjoy the weather and more importantly the season. With the focus of wellness and armed with my super warm parka, I will continue to explore this city that I love no matter the temperatures, as fresh air does the body, mind and soul good.

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel how to keep cool while wearing all black this summer. My go-to was this super cool black and grey playsuit from Topshop Canada. The oversized graphic floral print is so beautiful in it’s monochromatic colour palette. Here is what I said.

So it’s a new year, and my resolutions are to … continue as is.

Well no. I have many resolutions, but in terms of fashion, other than shop the sales and vintage (which is always the mandate) I resolve to continue styling away, and creating more interesting looks to blog and share!

This season texture is everything, and this velvet Joe Fresh turtleneck paired with this amazing micro-fleece sherpa coat by Pins and Needles is just so fun to touch!

Wishing you all a fashionable new year! 🙂
