Fashion Magazine asked their style panel to discuss how to dress for fashion week, here is what I said.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner along with Fashion Week hitting Toronto, I want to talk about fashion anxiety. Getting dressed everyday and looking cute is easy for some, but others struggle with putting together an outfit confidently, turning to fashion bloggers to find relatable advice and guidance. For me, I question everything before hitting an event, unless I plan well in advance. So before any event, a fashion show or a hot date with the hubby, I like to give myself sometime to rethink (although I usually change back into outfit 1).
Wishing everyone out there a Valentine’s Day Long Weekend (Family Day long weekend) filled with some sexy sexy time!

In October, my husband and I visited family in Europe, London and Paris to be exact. It was an amazing two weeks of adventure, getting to all of the amazing exhibits like the Alaïa | Paris Musées – which was insane and inspiring- and hidden gems like the British Library Manuscripts, that houses original hand written texts, including scribbles of Yesterday by The Beatles. We took the Eurostar from London to Paris while catching up on some sleep, before the next chapter of our trip started.

Trevor, my husband, for sure thinks I’ve gone mad. I went out shopping in London #eurotrippinwithboo (watch the trip on instagram) and picked up this snazzy leather backpack.
I was the girl throughout high school and university that lugged around a giant tote. I was working at Roots at the time, so I had their leather yoga tote, which allowed for a yoga mat (or in my case, an art roll) to fit in the front. I have since had zero relationship with backpacks, and often questioned their roll in fashion.
Well, this season, I think he’s right, I’ve gone mad (maybe we all have) but my number one must-get for this Euro trip, was in fact, a leather backpack – ideal for finishing the trip with. So while adventuring on my own I walked through the markets in Camden Town, I fell head-over-heels in love with this mushroom grey one.
I often feel about 12 years old while wearing it, but this season I will use this youthful accessory to add playfulness and practicality to my style.
