Fashion Magazine decided to spring forward and ask their style panel about their spring essentials and to make them fresh for this upcoming season. Here is what I said.

Watching the 2014 Olympic games, has been amazing, as the athletes representing our country are proving why #WeAreWinter.  I just want to thank Team Canada for showing our country’s true colours this year at the games, as honest, kind and thoughtful people who overall understand the meaning of good sportsmanship.

This morning Canadians are up exceptionally early to watch our amazing hockey team plays against Sweden for the gold medal. Come on boys – make us proud!! – (follow up: we won gold! congrats to all of the medal winners)

During the winter months, I often resort to the most practical shoes, ignoring all of the amazing “works of art” that I’ve acquired, as I want to keep them as safe from the snow and salt as possible. We get so much snow here in Toronto, that turns into gross slush that when mixed with salt is like shoe kryptonite. As the season winds down (hopefully) keep your eyes open for more practical shoes that you’ll be able to wear throughout the season. Buying them on sale and taking care of them with the proper shoe care sprays will allow  you to feel more carefree when walking in the snow.

These amazing boots are by the British label Kurt Geiger, which has an amazing sale going on right now!
