As the weather gets hotter, I can’t help but await the end of June…then I realize I’m a grown woman, and my days of playing ga-ga and making friendship bracelets at summer camp are over. It’s been many years since overnight camp, and I really believe that every kid who enjoyed their experience there, miss their summers away. The camps I went to, 2 different ones in Toronto, and one magical one in California, taught me so much and I feel so grateful for the experiences I had. At camp you feel free to be who you were at an age that it isn’t always easy to do so. I always felt that this was the place where I was able to experiment with fashion the most, sharing a wardrobe with a cabin of girls.
I’ve always found myself attracted to things that remind of summer camp, friendship bracelets, like these beautiful ones by KIM&ZOZI, moccasins, and my favourite activity for arts and crafts, tie-dye.

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!

Fashion Magazine asked about the colour grey this week. My kitten Monkey is,without question, my favourite grey item in my life, so I’ve decided to feature her not only in the post but as a new page on the blog. When you want to see pictures of my kitten please check out her page on the top right hand corner of the site!
Fashion Magazine asked the style panel what to wear for the many holiday events that are coming up this month. I fell head-over-heels in love with the Isabel Marant pour H&M that came out last month and knew it be perfect for the easy and effortless work-to-play kind of day. Here is what I said to Fashion Magazine.

This season, we aren’t putting away our floral patterns quite yet. The unexpected fall print is being paired with plaid for a 90s vibe. I am totally loving the fall floral, and it allows me to not store these happy prints in my storage for the season.

Welcome to spring. I believe, it’s here Toronto.
Let’s quickly discuss spring florals. It’s expected, but this season it’s a little bit different. It’s all about a bold floral print. Oh a large, oversized bold floral print. I love to mix patterns to create contrast, so I would love to see a oversize floral mixed with a mirco-flower pattern, but for those less adventurous, pick up some of the amazing printed denim available this season.
