Style made easy – winter fashion inspo with DressYou

December 6, 2019

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!)

November 10, 2019

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

October 6, 2019

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.

Summer Style: why you should invest in quality sunglasses

June 6, 2019

I don’t know about you, but I’m so ready for summer – if only mother nature could get on board! The weather has been all over the place here and some days seriously felt like winter. Luckily, it finally looks like it’s going to warm up this weekend and I can’t wait to get out my summer wardrobe.

One of my favourite accessories for summer is sunglasses. Don’t get me wrong, I know that wearing sunglasses in the winter is just as important as it is in the summer, but something about the start of the season always makes me want to buy new ones. I used to always buy 2-3 pairs from department stores, and it wasn’t until I fell in-love with a Kate Spade set a few years ago and I just had to splurge on them.

I knew I would love them, but I didn’t expect that they would change everything I thought I knew about sunglasses. I’m a firm believer that everyone needs to have at least one quality set of sunglasses.
