2014: Starting Fresh in White



Sparkle dresses and LBDs, we get it, and I'm a little over it. I like glitter like any other girl but I don't want want to drench myself in it like a 5 year old makin' it rain while doing arts and crafts. 

This new years eve, do sparkle right, around your neck and in your hand! And why not wear white? It's all about starting fresh after all. 

So, friends, keep it light, keep it tight, and enjoy your night!

Happy New Year!

Holiday Staples

The holidays, a time where your weekends fill up with meet and greets and your bellies fill up with yummy treats! Although the holidays are fun, there is some added stress there with deciding what to wear to all of the events, this is where I come in..here are the 5 holiday staples that will surely take you through the season.

1. Fun Skirt
A black skirt is functional and all but why not add some fun detail that will make you stand out?! This faux-leather number will make for a great alternative to the usual go-to.

2. The Dress
Having a dress handy is a no-brainer..and a dress that resembles a candy cane? Well that's just brilliant! This fit and flare silhouette is flattering for all figures!

3. Statement Necklace
The easiest way to dress up that little black dress is with some jewels. So why not look like Elizabeth Taylor, dazzle yourself in jewels..and get married 8 times while you're at it.

4. Sweater
Living in Canada, it is cold.. very cold. This 100% cotton sweater by Halifax local brand NIXE is so comfy and so warm that it has become my go-to sweater and I'll def be wearing it while building gingerbread houses..demolishing other people's houses..and eating the rest of the people's houses.   

5. Cuff
I enjoy stacking bracelets as much as the next girl, but with the sequins and sparkles that tend to come with the festive season, a classic simple cuff is an essential to get you from day to night. I love this dark silver double cuff because though it is simple and unique, it fills up my wrist without jingling alongside the bells.

Stach Fash

Stach Fash



Movember, a time where men grow moustaches to raise money for Prostate Cancer..which is a little ironic since I would raise money to get rid of mine. Anyway, enough of my foreign girl problems. Above are some cutesy ways of showing support to the hairy men out there. And below are the best ways to show support:

  • The Handlebar - So bushy, you can do chins ups on it
  • The Pencil - Narrow, straight, and thin. Basically should be renamed to 'pre-pubescent lad'
  • The Fu Manchu - Let's face it, I just wanted to say Fu Manchu

Style on a Dime: Olivia Palermo

Style on a Dime: Olivia Palermo


Ever look through a magazine, find a perfect outfit that you decide you just NEED, look at the corner of the page and then realize that that basic tank is $200?? Or even worse, you see those 3 words that have the effect of a slap in the face.."Price Upon Request". Well that, friends, is the story of my life. 

Thank goodness for high street stores where I can turn the more expensive outfit inspiration into reality with very little perspiration. This entire outfit comes in under $250, less than just the pair of sunglasses Olivia has on.

Sweater - Topshop - $42.00
Skirt - Dynamite - $24.00
Necklace- Forever 21 - $7.80
Cuff - Forever 21 - $10.80
Sunglasses - Aldo - $12.00
Bag - Aldo - $50.00
Shoes - Zara - $99.90

TOTAL: $246.50

Sunset in Santorini


Dress - H&M
Sandals - Athens
Ring - H&M
Arm Band - Unknown
Tan - The Sun!

If you look at my vacation pictures backwards, they're about a girl who went around the world to get pasty. These pictures were definitely taken during the latter half of my trip as evidenced by my darker than usual skin tone. I accentuated this new tan with a lot of neon and bright colours and this coral number did just that. 

Santorini was the prettiest place I have ever seen and I will definitely be going back! Every view was a #nofilter picture you wanted to remember forever. 

With that, happy Monday, friends!

Mykonos It All





Dress - Zara
Ring - Forever 21
Headpiece - Forever 21
Sandals - Athens

2 countries. 4 cities. 10 days. And what a glorious time it was! These pictures were taken during our first day in Mykonos (pre-tan) where I came to the realization that I had developed quite the uniform for myself: bright colours, headpieces, and these gladiator sandals I picked up in Athens. 

It's definitely a bittersweet feeling coming back and being greeted by single digit temperatures and jackets :( 

How do you deal with coming back from vacation?
