Fashion

Hello! A colourful post today to celebrate the amazing sunny days we’ve been experiencing in Toronto. I’ve been sporting dark colors all winter long to my workouts. To welcome Spring, I absolutely had pick up some new bright active wear.

I am totally obsessed with these Capri Painterly Capris ($69) from Bench Canada, they make me feel all kinds of unicorns and rainbows and certainly adds an extra dose of motivation to my workout routine. Alongside with these pants, I also added an extra pop of color with this Onetimer II ($119) windbreaker jacket also from Bench Canada. I’ve mentioned before in this post that I really love the way their clothing fits, I’m wearing an XS in both pieces.

Happy Thursday friends! With the start of Spring, I’ve once again caught the shopping fever. Everytime the season changes, I itch to shop and update my closet with fresh new pieces. I’m not a fan of paying full prices, therefore I rely heavily on digital coupons and promotions websites to help me save a few dollars where I can!

RetailMeNot.ca is one of my favourite go tos when it comes to finding the best digital coupons and promotions. I was invited by the team at RetailMeNot.ca to shop and save with my $250 Visa gift card by scouting for coupons and promos found via their website! I was amazed at how many great deals I found, and happy to share that, I’ve so far racked up over $100 in savings (that’s a whole new outfit!)! The good news? We’re inviting one of you lucky savvy savers to join in on the #RMNchallenge!

I’ve partnered up with RetailMeNot.ca to give a $100 Visa gift card to a lucky winner to join in on the #RMNchallenge!

I love Spring, not just because the days are getting brighter and longer, but it inspires me to introduce a lighter palette to my wardrobe and of course, trench coat! These three pieces – trench coat, mock neck dress, and ankle booties, all newly acquired are just the perfect match.

The slouchy light weight trench coat (a must-buy this season!) paired with a slim mock neck dress creates just the right amount of contrast and texture, while the longer midi hemline on the dress couples flawlessly with these Le Chateau ankle booties.

Earlier this month we celebrated the day of love! Valentine’s day that is. Though Kyle and I didn’t hit the town and decided to stay in to celebrate, I was still in the mood for something romantic, lacey, and sexy! For my February Le Chateau Shoe Ambassador pick, I found the perfect pair of shoes to fit the bill. These delicate lace and leather-like beauties were not only the perfect addition to my Valentine’s Day outfit but also a great add to my closet in general!

Spring is definitely not in sight just yet, BUT I’d love to bring Spring to you by INVITING you to join Joe Fresh and I at the Queen and Portland this coming Saturday, Feb 28 from 2-4 p.m.! We’ll be celebrating Spring early alongside with the new Joe Fresh Spring Collection, full of soft silks (I’m wearing this one) and floral prints. From 2-4 p.m., I’ll be demonstrating DIY Floral Crowns and maybe, just maybe, some lucky shoppers will get the chance to bring one home.

Thank you Joe Fresh and Patchouli for sending this floral crown #FreshDelivery to me this week, it’s inspired me plenty just in time for this Saturday’s DIY event!

Be sure to join us! There will not only be floral crown DIYs but in-store surprises!

Introducing to you today some beautiful lingerie I got my hands on from ThirdLove. I’m also thrilled to let  you know that ThirdLove is now shipping to Canada! Amazing right? ThirdLove is a chic and innovative brand that designs perfect-fitting lingerie at an affordable price. In addition to offering signature 1/2 sizes to provide the best fit (if shoes come in half sizes why not bras?!). ThirdLove has also developed a mobile sizing tool which makes it super convenient for you to measure in the privacy of your own home. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, if you are looking to gift someone special a pretty thing or two, ThirdLove carries a variety of bras and panties in delicate fabrics.

I adore Valentine’s Day. Not because I expect to be showered with gifts or any added romantic gestures, but honestly, just love all the beautiful products and items that surface around this time of the year. Everything is pink, heart shaped, and filled with roses! Don’t know about you, but it just makes my heart sing.

Rather than expecting to be surprised with gifts, why not treat yourself to a Valentine’s Day gift of two?!

Today, I bring you MIYU Teas & Beauty‘s limited edition MADE WITH LOVE kit curated especially for Valentine’s Day.

I’ve got a thing of furry, comfy, beautiful boots. Manitobah Mukluks is one of my favourite brands to shop for warm boots. Admittedly, I’ve got a few pairs. Aboriginal-owned and…

I tend to revert to classic pieces during the winter months. I find it so challenging to introduce colorful and fun pieces during these cold months. Therefore, it’s so essential to stock the closet with some high quality and simple pieces that can mix and match, such as a classic wool coat, and an abundance of knits and sweaters.

Just how awesome is this eyelash lace sweater dress from Forever21 I’m sporting (sadly, currently sold out)?! I do however like to add a few finishing touches with winter accessories and fine details where possible, just to keep things interesting.

I’m also thrilled to be one of Le Chateau‘s Shoe Ambassador for 2015! I decided to kick the new year off by selecting these Italian made short leather booties with an industrial chain detail as my January shoe pick of the month. I am absolutely obsessed with these buttery soft goodness and have been on repeat!
