    ruffles

             Every year it seems more of my wardrobe than ever is geared towards work clothes. While I love (and need!) great professional options, it can get a bit monotonous to focus solely on that one aspect of my life. When I was a single young thing, I had a solid collection of tops…

    april showers 

                   After all that beautiful sunshine, we are back to a typical Vancouver spring. The much cooler temperatures and looming rain clouds are a rough reminder that the summer preview we’d been having was all too temporary. On the bright side, this reality check is making me even more excited for my trip…

    packing for mexico

    This month just sped by and suddenly it’s like woah – I’m leaving for Mexico next week  and it’s already time to pack! If you’ve been following along you know this is something I have been trying to improve upon with each adventure. I did pretty good on my trip to California earlier this year,…

  • sexy back 

    sexy back 

       There is just something special about a seemingly office appropriate dress that surprises you with a fantastic cut out back. I’m all about multi-use, and this dress takes me from work (with a sleeveless blazer) right into dinner or drinks without batting an eyelash. It’s lady-like but also a little flirty. The pattern even…

    vacation ready 

                Those of you who follow along on Instagram may know I had a trip planned to Denmark and Italy at the end of April. My boyfriend has been training for a cycling race over there since last year, which was unfortunately cancelled last week. After weighing all our options, we opted…

    mixing metals 

    For as long as I can remember I’ve been very particular about metal, always wanting to match the hardware on my purse to any jewellery, sunglasses or other details. It was one of those annoying pet peeves of mine, and because of it I ended up with a habit of only buying silver or looking…

    easy like sunday morning

       Summer is coming! And with that lovely sunshine begins the season of easy dressing. No more forced bundling up, no more thick coats, and you can even skip the socks if you feel like it. There is nothing better than when you get up, quickly pull together an outfit and just walk out the…

    the shoes make the outfit

       Even before I managed a shoe store, I knew what a key role they played in each and every outfit. Putting on a great pair of shoes is the quickest way to elevate whatever you’re wearing, and on the flip side, nothing will undermine your style more than  a scuffed up pair of kicks.…

    leather + stripes 

                   My favorite outfits are usually devoid of color, simple and comprised of new items mixed with classics from seasons past . This one hits all those marks, and worked great even with the slight spring chill in the air. It should come as no surprise that I love wearing leather…

    how repeating an outfit makes it better

          You know those days when you feel like you have nothing to wear? When I can’t figure it out I usually start my morning on the wrong foot (and running late…) but finding the “right” outfit never fails to make me feel more confident and ready to go for the day ahead. If…
