When I began my hunt for maternity clothing I became obsessed with finding a pair of overalls. Something easy and comfortable that I can add layers to keep warm as the temperatures continue to drop.  It felt like everywhere I shopped, I could find denim overalls, but as soon as I searched for the pregnancy equivalent, there were none.

That was until, I finally hit up one of the few H&M stores that carried their adorable Mama lines (Eaton Centre, Hillcrest and Vaughan Mills) and there they were. My dream pregnancy pant. Skinny through leg but with enough room for my (giant) bump and easily styled with sneakers or heels.

Welcome back from the holidays! Sorry that I’ve been away from the blogging action, but I was celebrating a bit too much with family and friends, sipping and snacking the holidays season away. We will soon be back into the normal swing of things, I have put myself on heavy restriction, to purchase nothing new, (unless it’s a steal) and to save for my upcoming winter get-away. We are exactly 1 month away until we hit the beach, and the goal will be to spend less time in the mall, and more time at the gym, working off that last bottle of red, enjoyed with friends.

A yearly, New Year’s Resolution for me, is to live a healthier life, and 2014, I took up the lifestyle of juicing which has introduced so many more fruits and vegetables into my life. I also created the hashtag #onawalkwiththenegins, which allowed for my Instagram followers to join my husband and I (with friends) on our walks around the city with the goal to help you get outside.

In 2015, I hope to add some more physical activities to help with having better overall balance, and learn to cook meals, which will allow for us to save money and take control of what we are putting in our bodies. I hope the last bit of 2014 is magical and that all of your dreams come true in 2015! Thanks for spending so much time with me this year!

I think I had to finally admit that the warm fall days are now going to be a thing of the past, and it’s time to start thinking about typical fall things like boots.

I was lucky enough to score these sweet Christopher Kane boots from The Room and have been obsessed with them ever since. First reason why is the colour. I love navy, and I think it works here as a different take on a neutral. I also love the camo calf-hair sections mixed with the patent leather. I think this mix of textures is so luxe and unique. I am completely in love with them. <3

When Fashion Magazine asked their style panel about the midi skirt, which is a huge trend this season, I took a moment to look back at some of my favourite ones that I’ve styled. I ended up showing their readers this amazing Valentino Red dress that I picked up years ago, that is a perfect example of how easy this cut of skirt is, once you figure out the shoes. Here is what I said.
