April 22, 2013

Sadly the word “Canadian” is not internationally synonymous with “Style” and “Sex Appeal.” Although we have some amazing Canadian designers, Canada is also associated with things like toques, hockey hair and the “Canadian Tuxedo.” When I mentioned to an American friend that I would be reviewing a piece from a Canadian lingerie line, I wasn’t surprised that their first question was “Is it [...]

February 18, 2013

It’s funny, people have been trying to get me to wear dark green for years, claiming that with my dark hair, light skin and freckles that I have “the perfect Irish colouring to pull it off!” It’s true, I do have some distant Irish heritage on my maternal Grandmother’s side however, the dark hair and the fair complexion actually come from my [...]

Review & Giveaway | Sweet like Candy…or Cake

January 30, 2013

Around this time of year it’s so easy to catch a case of the winter blahs. When I lived in Toronto the end of January only meant one thing: that there were at least another solid two months of snow and sub-zero temperatures to look forward to. Although the winters are thankfully a lot milder on the West Coast (it’s usually too [...]

2012 will go down as “the year of many bracelets”  (just like 2010 was “the year of statement necklaces”) My bracelet wardrobe used to consist of a carved sterling silver bangle that I would pair with an engraved silver heart charm bracelet.  However, over the past few months I have become completely obsessed with bracelets.

Perfect for your Next Walk of Shame (or Vegas)

August 30, 2012

The walk of shame.  Most of us have walked “the walk” at least once. Thinking back to my university days, the walk of shame was a regular occurrence. I’d go out, drink, dance and dirty text one of the guys I was “kind of seeing” at the time which would always lead to me waking up in his bed the next morning [...]

Ridiculously Cute Shoes for Less? Um, Yes Please.

July 27, 2012

Anyone who has seen photos of my former shoe closet can vouch for the fact that I am a certified shoe addict. When it comes to my love for shoes, I don’t discriminate.
