Making Lemonade

Making Lemonade




Disclaimer: What follows is cheesy, but sometimes it’s gouda happen.

I’m not usually the serious type or life lessons type, nor do I plan to be on this blog, but sometimes it’s freeing to put words up. You said it, it’s out there, you can’t back down now! I’ve been absent from this blog lately, wondering what to do with all of my lemons. Well the last lemon hit me in the head and offered up some clarity. Sometimes, lemons make you realize who’s there for you and who isn’t. Who cares and who doesn’t. Who’d fight for you and who isn’t worth fighting for.

A colleague told me today “if you want something – make it happen”. And that is exactly what I intend to do! I am squeezing that lemon on my salmon and making lemonade out of the rest. Each person is in charge of their own happiness. I am declaring this summer the summer of adventure! I want to do things that I have never done before and things that I never thought I would like. I want to go on a hike, be able to run 5km (I don’t care if it takes me all day), take a surfing lesson, golf, do something that scares me, and go somewhere I’ve never gone before.  

So let’s make that lemonade..and while we’re at it, why not make it pink lemonade!

Cool Dad on the Go

Cool Dad on the Go




This father's day, let's give credit to all the cool dads out there, keepin' it real while playing in the park, carpooling, and just looking good while on daddy duty. 

This outfit is perfect for that "dad on the go". Retire that old school baggy denim jacket and go for a chambray shirt instead. Layer with a cashmere sweater for the cool weather, but keep those sleeves cuffed! Gotta look cool folks. Top it off with some kicks (never gym sneakers) and shades and you're ready for a day with the kiddies!

And when that kid starts screaming..just pretend it's not yours! Jokes..

A Shift Dress for Every Occasion

Shifty Business




There is nothing more comfortable than wearing a shift dress, especially as the weather gets warmer. They're light, airy, and can fit any occasion! 

Going shopping or for a stroll on the weekend? Pair a polka dotted number with some flat strappy sandals. Add a pop of colour with your lips and purse. 

Add some sleeves and you're ready for work. Keep it neutral with a solid pump to balance out the pattern.

Heading out? Go all out with leather. Add some gold jewels, a red lip, a fun shoe, and you're all set.

Not convinced? Just think about this..no sucking in required. Bliss.
