Today I’m wearing my dad’s Roots Canada Special Edition Toronto Maple Leaf Awards coat. When this amazing collection of leather goods inspired by Toronto’s great hockey team was released I knew I had to get this coat for him. I thought I’d steal it from him, to honour my first Maple Leaf game tonight (shocking I know)!

Today is June 25, and the Toronto Pan Am Games start in 15 days! I cannot wait to feel the energy in the city when athletes and media come to celebrate sports.

Once upon a time, I traveled to Vancouver during the 2010 Olympics and have never felt so wonderful to see people from all over the world coming together to cheer, watch and celebrate young talent.

To get excited for the upcoming games, I’ve stocked up with new gear from the Official Outfitters of the Canadian Pan Am Team, Hudson’s Bay. With activewear being so on trend, I thought this was the perfect opportunity refresh some classic pieces.

I’ve been in saving mode for some time, trying to limit my expenses and only buying things that are on major discount. The end of the month of February/beginning of March gets extremely difficult to not find things that are marked down so low that they make you feel like your stealing!

The first thing I found was this coat, mixed in with pea coat in the basement of my local Urban Outfitters. But what I really had found was a beautiful blue leather jacket by Australian brand Ryder. I’ve always been a big fan of the cool-girl label, which uses a great mix of graphic prints and beautiful colours. The coat was marked down 84%, coming in at less than $100.

The next must-have that I found was this Marc by Marc Jacobs laptop bag, that will double as a purse. I’ve wanted it since the day I saw it, and that’s one of the reasons that I love shopping at Hudson’s Bay. If you keep your eye one something, you can always get it at a great price! I ended up with this baby for just over $40, and could not have been smiling any bigger as I left the store last week.
