Be mine: cozy pom-pom feminine sweater for Valentine’s Day

Confession: I actually really like Valentine’s Day.

I’ve always looked at is as a day to celebrate everyone I love – friends, family and fur-babies alike! Because honestly, sometimes everyone needs to be reminded they are loved and appreciated, am I right?!

Call me basic, but I also love Valentine’s for all of the themed stuff. Everything is pink (aka my favourite colour), heart shaped and filled with feminine touches. And of course, you can’t forget the candy!

Conversation hearts are among my favourite. So much so, that last year when they weren’t available in Canada I had some of my American friends buy them and ship them to me! It was expensive, but totally worth it.

Style made easy – winter fashion inspo with DressYou

I recently discovered a really cool (and Canadian!) platform called DressYou that I wanted to share with you guys! I don’t know about you, but every time the new fashion season rolls around I always struggle with two things: a) navigating my wardrobe and how I styled pieces the previous year, and b) coming up with new looks based on the current trends. This is where DressYou really comes in handy.

I always have trouble remembering what the heck I wore last year and how I styled it. Every time the season changes, I open my closet and just stare at it confused. I tried taking photos and saving them just on my phone under albums for each season, but space eventually came an issue so I had to delete a bunch of the photos, sometimes I didn’t save them to the right album and couldn’t find them later. It was a mess.

Meet weekend-mode Kait: leggings, hoodies and bad hair days (oh my!)

People who know me well know that I have two modes: a) the version of me you most often see on my blog and social media channels who tries to be fashionable, and b) the version me that is in super casual and comfy clothes, such as leggings or pjs – aka how I spend the majority of my time. 

This post is about that second version of me.

So much of what we see on social media these days are the highlight reels, and I am no exception to this fact. There are days where as soon as I’m done shooting content my make-up is off and I’m back in sweats. There are also days where I don’t even bother to leave my pyjamas. If I’m being totally honest, these are my favourite days.

It’s also the first thing I do when I get home from work too – toss my hair up and throw on some comfy clothes!

Easy DIY customized shoes with the Cricut Maker and the new Easy Press Mini

Cricut’s iron-on material has always been my favourite material to work with and I love my 9×9 EasyPress, but sometimes it is a little too large for those small designs and tough to reach spaces. Cue the EasyPress Mini, which  was created with that in mind!

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know just how excited I was when I found out that Cricut was releasing a mini EasyPress. The plate itself is just under 3.5″ x 2″. It’s great for when you’re working with tight spaces, over curves and to avoid seams.

It has three different temperature levels and the highest setting will work with Cricut’s Infusibile Ink (another one of my favourite materials to work with).  Just like the other EasyPresses, the heat is even across the entire plate and it has an auto-off feature.
