How to transition your Fall wardrobe to Winter-ready – sweater dresses
In Southern Ontario, Fall also tends to be our shortest season of the year. (Which sucks because it's my favourite.) I've said it before and I'll say it again, fall is my absolute favourite season for a lot of reasons but one of them is because of fall fashion. Unfortunately, if you live ...
How to style coloured booties for fall
As you all know, one of the many reasons why Fall is my favourite season is because of the fashion. Give me a cozy knit, ankle boots and a cute hat and I'm a happy girl. One of the reasons why it is my favourite is because I love to layer clothes and accessories – but being a Ontarian, once ...
Style made easy – winter fashion inspo with DressYou

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 9x9 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, ...

DIY cozy winter hats with removable pom-poms – Cricut iron-on
When it comes to coats, especially winter parkas, I always try to find ones that are in fun colours.

I searched high and low to try and find a jacket in another fun colour, ...
Winter trends: the teddy coat
(Three posts in one week? I'm on a roll guys!) As much as I hate winter weather, it is my favourite time of year in terms of style. I really do hate having to dress for the weather, but at the same time I'm all about oversized sweaters, tons of layers, boots and big jackets. If I could get away ...
Cozy winter style: it’s toque season!
I've said it before and I'll say it again – I'm the worst Canadian. I absolutely hate winter and the cold. Which is kinda a problem because being a Canadian our longest season is well... winter. And it can get pretty gosh darn cold in Ontario. (It's -30°C this week with the windchill and it's ...
My favourite fall/winter fashion item: blankets
I don't know about you guys, but we have been blessed with amazing Fall weather here in Toronto this year. We're now in the second week of November and we haven't had any snow yet! (I probably just jinxed it – sorry guys.) I'm pretty happy about that for a couple of reasons: 1) I'm the worst ...
