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.

Summer Style: why you should invest in quality sunglasses

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.

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 with wearing turtle necks and knit hats in the summer I honestly would.

I don’t know about you, but one of the winter trends I’ve been obsessed with is the teddy coat.I just love the cozy and cuddly vibes that teddy coats have – and now that I think about it, I guess that is where they get their name from.
