Sun Please – Getting Ready for Summer with Optically.ca

May 6, 2017

Raise your hand if you’re ready for Summer!

We are still getting some pretty chilly days here, but for the most part spring has spring and it’s a lot more sunny around here already, which has made me eager for summer. I can’t wait to lounge outside, hit the beach and go on some weekend getaways!

Now of course, with the warmer weather and sunshine coming my way I needed to add a few new seasonal staples to my wardrobe this year: sun hats (I’m obsessed with those typographic straw hats that are all over the internet, you bet I picked one up for myself!), dresses and of course, sunglasses! Optically.ca was kind enough to offer to send some sunnies my way to help get me ready for the season!

Getting Cozy for Fall with StyleWe: Review + Giveaway

October 11, 2016

I’m sure you’re all aware by now that fall is my favourite time of year. (Exhibit A, B and C.) One of the many reasons why I love fall so much is the weather + fashion. Personally, I don’t do well in extreme cold/heat and I *love* dressing in layers – fall weather is just perfect for this! I find that I have more freedom with my outfit choices in the fall; I can wear layers without having to worry about bundling up or being too hot, it’s still warm enough to wear skirts and tights and it’s sweater weather!

The only problem is however that my bank account kind of gets a little abused in fall… (Does anyone else have this problem?!) Since it’s my favourite time of the year for fashion I just can’t help myself when it comes to shopping the new collections and trends! My bad.

Daytrips: Terre Bleu Lavender Farm

August 1, 2016

This is a post that is long over due. Last summer, my mom and I went on a daytrip to Terre Bleu lavender farm in Campbellville, (Milton area) Ontario. I actually first learned about this place at a Facebook conference where the owner was one of the guest speakers. (For curious minds, his topic was his success with Facebook Advertising’s options for small businesses.) Ever since I saw the photos of the lavender farm I was dying to go – and lavender is my mom’s favourite, so it was a no-brainer to take the trip with her.
