perfect fit

It’s not unusual to have trouble finding clothes right off the rack that fit exactly the way you want. Any part of you that doesn’t match up with the industry standard is going to give you a hard time when you’re shopping, and for me that is generally my height. I’m 5’10, so skirts and…

good day sunshine

It officially feels like spring this week! The sun is shinning and for the first time all year I wasn’t even a touch cold with bare legs. I’m sitting on my patio in the sun typing this – it feels so luxurious. Summer is my favorite time of year, and even just leaving work when…

how much is too much?

Accessories are a double edged sword. Without them your look can simply be forgettable, but pile them on and you look cluttered or just like you’re trying too hard. In fashion time changes everything, but the perfect balance of baubles and frills has been hotly debated for decades. Coco Chanel herself supposedly issued the advice…

shoulder season

From March – May the weather can be unpredictable, ranging from sunshine to frost and everything in between. In Vancouver, we’ve already seen sunny highs of 15 degrees, frigid mornings and days upon days of non-stop rain this month. All that back and forth can be hard to deal with, let…

jean genie

As a Canadian, it’s pretty much a given I have zero aversion to the denim on denim trend we’ve been seeing for the past few years. I especially love it when a trend comes along that is built on basics most people have in their closet already! Simply take your favourite…

how to thrift shop

There are a lot of great pieces in my closet which I’ve found at second hand stores over the years. When someone asks me where it’s from, my response is usually met with a pang of frustration and often the declaration that the individual asking can never find anything good at Value Village. If that feels like you, read…

off the shoulder

One of the silhouettes I have been waiting all winter to try out is off the shoulder. l love how feminine and sexy they are without actually showing off much of anything. It’s a girly look already so I reached for black to tone that down, plus a trench since the weather…

spring neutrals

As the fashion world loves to remind us, spring is the time for florals, pastels and all things feminine. It’s easy to get swept up in the sartorial splendour with the changing of the seasons, but it’s also unnecessary. You can welcome the warm(ish) weather in other ways, like by putting together…

spring layering

I bought a new coat last November, and I can honestly say I loved wearing it. I felt chic, happy and warm every time I put it on this winter. Then all of that changed this month! With the sun shinning and blossoms popping up all over the place, I cannot…

weekend wear

Even though I usually work weekends, Sundays still call for a casual and easy outfit. Nothing wrong with a good jeans and a t-shirt combo, and I think the white pant is a bit more unexpected than traditional denim. This is probably my coziest sweater, since the wool/cashmere blend means it’s actually warm…
