New Shminky

Take a look at the fourth icon in my menu heading…Shminky! I’m always coming up with new ideas for my blog, so the Shminky section will now encompass a few different categories, including a store! I have been buying and selling on eBay for over 9 years, so I thought why not create a space...

Hello Headgear

Hello Headgear

The idea for this post came from an anonymous commenter on my Tumblr! I love turbans, headscarves etc. but I don’t wear hats often, so this was a fun idea to work on. I’m all about headbands in the summer, they’re a great thing to wear when you want to throw your hair up on...

Work it Out

Work it Out

My weight fluctuates SO often, and anybody who knows me personally can definitely agree. I LOVE to eat – by love I mean chicken parmesan and penne alfredo are my soulmates. I purchased the Metamorphosis by Tracy Anderson DVD last year, used it for about one month mixed with 3-5 days of cardio, and saw...

1. Charlotte Olympia Pumps I am loving plexiglass footwear this summer (not the stripper style ones though).

Rebecca Minkoff Booties I am so drawn to these cutout booties. They...

I recently hit up the headquarters of Canada’s ultimate online shopping destination, Dealuxe. Dealuxe (think Shopbop for Canadians) carries some of my favorite designers including Smythe, Missoni and Tibi, so naturally it was a match made in heaven. I got to create and style looks, play dress up, check out new merchandise and chitchat with...

I wanted to share some of the accessories I picked up during my trip to the UK. You may have spotted them already in some of the outfit posts. My love for accessories, jewelry more specifically, is as strong as my love for clothing. I love to wear rings, so I picked up three styles...

Topshop UK

Topshop UK

Although it wasn’t my first time visiting London, it was my first time checking out the best Topshop location to ever exist. Honey and Phil, the ultimate personal shoppers, gave me a fun tour of Topshop and Topman, and all the fun stuff in between. I was extremely overwhelmed by the huge space and products,...
