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

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

How to upcycle your winter hats with Cricut
When it comes to coats, especially winter parkas, I always try to find ones that are in fun colours.

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 ...
