I’ve always said that the best furs are those that have a story along with some meaning behind them. I’m not for buying new furs, but special pieces that carry meaning to your family are important to cherish. This fur beret belonged to my father’s mother, Reva. I just picture her wearing it during the winters to stay warm, looking beyond effortlessly chic.

During the holiday season, there is really no better feeling than that of giving. A gift is something that is both special for everyone, and to see the joy that your kindness brings to others is truly breathtaking.

This season give a gift that means a little more. Billy Talent and Bluenotes have teamed up and designed a limited edition graphic tee, with all proceeds going to Kids Help Phone. The tee is only $10 and makes the perfect stocking stuffer.

Over the past 16 years Bluenotes has already raised over $1.6 million dollars for Kids Help Phone! So buy a tee, give a gift and help a kid! Available both in-store and online.

Some days are all about layers, starting off windy and cool, and warming up in the afternoon. Heading to Niagara on the long weekend, I anticipated some drastic weather changes and dressed accordingly.

A silky pair of printed pants, with a stripped tank, for when the sun is shining after lunch, add a pop of colour with a sweater for the mid day stroll around Niagara on the Lake, and the essential leather moto jacket for the morning and late afternoon, when the breeze picks up into a wind. Over all an amazing day with a great group of photographers, thanks for including me!
