This “polar vortex” that has taken over Toronto is awfully hard to work with. The cold temperatures are make photo shoots brutal… but oh the life of a style blogger 😉 When the temperatures dip, I tend to try to grab my favourite textured pieces like this velvet turtleneck. So basic in style, it adds a winter/glam/retro feel that I love. What do you turn to when the temperature dips?

In October, my husband and I visited family in Europe, London and Paris to be exact. It was an amazing two weeks of adventure, getting to all of the amazing exhibits like the Alaïa | Paris Musées – which was insane and inspiring- and hidden gems like the British Library Manuscripts, that houses original hand written texts, including scribbles of Yesterday by The Beatles. We took the Eurostar from London to Paris while catching up on some sleep, before the next chapter of our trip started.
