What a fantastic year! I’m overwhelmed with the love & support and so grateful for everything that has happened in 2015! I cannot wait to see what adventures Trevor, Monkey and I get into in 2016!
So much love!
Coat Confessions: Part 3 Winter Formal Edition
Coat Confessions: Part 4 – The Denim Details
I’ve never been so happy to see the end of a year come. 2016 was rough, emotionally for me, and the last few weeks I’ve spent focused on my health and wellness, which will continue through into 2017 and hopefully make it my most successful year. Thank you for all of the love and support this past year!

I think it’s officially the most confusing time of the year to get dressed. With the temperatures changing so drastically from day to day, and sometimes, even throughout the day. Yesterday, was a beautiful sunny day that left you peeling off your layers, whereas today, the breeze sent chills straight to my bones.
I find it essential to dress with a plan during this complicated weather. The jacket, is sometimes the hardest, but can be the most critical part if it’s calling for wind or cooler temperatures. I love that sweaters are on sale at this time of the year, and will usually stock up with a few beautiful ones for the fall, but can work perfectly for those days that don’t require a coat. All that’s left to find this spring is an easy cami to wear underneath everything.
What are your spring essentials for this complicated weather?

Update: Internet problems + website issues = the blog went on a break! But looks like we are back with tons of new post and exciting projects in the works!
My first catch post will be for Valentine’s Day 2015, when Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what they were doing and how they were celebrating the special day. I decided to share with you my outfit from date night, and the story of Trevor and my yearly tradition V-day Thai food dinner. Here is their feature.
To follow up, we had a super lazy and romantic Valentine’s Day and Family Day together, catching up on sleep and hanging out with Monkey.

Often the season changes before the rest of us are ready, causing us to need a quick jump start to our wardrobe. As storage in my tiny midtown apt is limited, I keep 2 seasons hidden away, and find myself usually wishing I’d had my FW14 closet sooner.
When I need to quick start my wardrobe, I run to my local mall, shopping through my favourite stores in search of what’s new and fresh for this season. I need to review what I have in storage before making an major purchases. This on-trend jumpsuit, was the perfect, take-me-anywhere piece that I knew I’ll live in this season, and a perfect way to help quick start my fall wardrobe.

The only way I can get through my weekly tasks after a long work week is by dressing up and making things like groceries and dry cleaning seem more glamourous. It may seem silly, to wear your heels to a like picking up fresh produce, but by making this activity seem more special you may find a new sense of enjoyment in it.

Denim on denim is huge, and although many can probably quote me on hating on this in years past, I have to say with the changes that denim has gone through in the recent years, it’s a fabric that can really be used anywhere. Luxury denims, we all know, can run us a a good chunk of our paychecks, but we should also remember that denim is a classic staple in both the Canadian and American lifestyle. Meaning that there are great and affordable options available at stores like The Gap, American Eagle, and Levi’s.
