how to wear athletic slides

I have been seeing nike or adidas slides all over the place, and love how something so casual is fashionable and can be worn in such a different way than I’m used to. For years I was always the most dressed up, wearing heels and skirts when everyone else was in leggings and t-shirts. Now…

simply simple

Clean lines and basic pieces can be easy, versatile and stylish. As I begin to pack for my trip, I am visualizing a whole suitcase full of simple looks like this one I can mix and match or transition from day to night. I always pack too much, and never even wear half of it.…

nike free

I have been thinking about buying these shoes for what feels like forever. I love the way they work in a variety of outfits to make your look more sporty and causal. I also work out in a old, very bright pair so I know the fit and feel works for me. I have been…

what to wear between seasons

The weather today was all over the place. Sunny, rainy, hailing even. Nothing like the glorious days of sunshine we had earlier in the week! It is on days like today I am at loss of what to wear. Always the optimist, I tend to be underdressed. A friend in Toronto once described our shared…

four-eyes

I’ve had to wear glasses since I was in grade school – but I’ve been choosing contacts for the past ten years. Every. Single. Day. It hurts your eyes after awhile. But, glasses are expensive and picking frames is a nightmare. However, having my benefits kick in at work finally gave me the nudge I…

lazy sunday

Today is the last day of my long weekend getaway to Whistler, and I have been taking it easy. Two days of snowboarding hurt, even with nightly hot tubs. I woke up this am and opted to hang out in the village instead of hitting the slopes! It’s still kind of chilly here even in…

white denim

Sometimes the sun is shinning, spring is in the air and it is time to bust out the white jeans! I know wearing white pants can be daunting because they are not always flattering. Or, if you’re a klutz like me you also worry about getting them dirty. However, there is definitely something bold about…
