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!

All Day I Dream About…

It’s New York Fashion Week and I’m sitting here in Toronto so jealous. Fashion week, each season, is so hard for me, because I don’t usually get time off to visit shows. Next month, when Toronto shows come to town, I hope to get to as many as possible, and can’t wait to see the amazing local talent.

In New York, all I’ve been seeing is athletic wear. From running shoes (which I just picked up an amazing pair) to track jackets (see Pharrell William’s Grammy look). I am obsessed with this season from Adidas. Where the sporting look isn’t really my style, this season they’ve created breathtaking pieces that are edgy and feminine.

Oh, and with the Olympic Games going on, I’m feeling a little bit sporty, too. Go Canada!
