The Burgandy Saddle

Hi everyone! I’m back on the blog sharing another outfit with you all. I really love the vibe of this outfit. You guys know how much I love to mix dressier elements with more casual laid back ones, which of course is what I’m doing here again. I’m really enjoying pairing my Adidas with these leather joggers, I think this combo screams comfort and is quite cool, if I do say so myself! Another combo I also seem to be enjoying, is wearing a coat over Continue reading

Christmas & Boxing Day Haul

Hey guys! I hope you had a great Christmas and are continuing to enjoy the holiday season. On Monday I braved the boxing day crowds so I wanted to share with you some of the things I picked up, as well as a few of the Christmas gifts I received. Unfortunately, most of the items I gravitated towards weren’t even on sale but I was in a shopping mood and couldn’t pass them up!

#PDOBlackFriday: Deals Under $50

IMG_6655.jpg

Happy Black Friday!! If you follow me on my socials (if you don’t you really should, links in the sidebar) you would have seen me mention that I was taking part in a Facebook Live event for Place D’Orleans, to preview the Black Friday deals they have going on today. Well, it happened last night and we had a blast!! I was initially really nervous about it, I hate public speaking, so I never really do anything like this. I never even talk in my Insta-stories (I hate the sound of my voice, I’m sure some of you can relate), but when the offer came up I couldn’t pass it up. I just thought of it as an opportunity to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new! Continue reading

These Boots Were Made for Walking

fullsizerender-19

So apparently, these boots were made for walking because all the shots I liked from this outfit shoot were ones where I was mid-strut. I usually like to get a little more variety in the shots I share with you guys but we’re just going to have to work with what we’ve got. I clearly can’t get enough of these Aldo booties! They’ve quickly become a favourite of mine since they work with so many looks. The best part is that they are super comfortable, I’ve walked in them for hours before my feet have started to hurt. Definitely would recommend them!   Continue reading

It’s safe to say that I waited too long to post this look since it’s gotten so cold here. But hopefully, some of you live somewhere where you can still get away with a similar outfit. If like me, you are somewhere where it’s clear that fall is in full swing and that winter is on its way you can still pull off a similar look. You can easily make this outfit more cold weather appropriate by adding a few layers. I really like the simplicity and effortlessness of this look. I think it’s great how a few basic pieces can be paired together to create an easy trendy look. Continue reading

Falling for Fall Fashion at Place D’Orleans

Fall is finally here!!! We’ve already talked about why I love fall and fall fashion so much (if you missed that convo read it here). But this fall, I have even more of a reason to be excited for the season thanks to Place D’Orleans‘ “Fall for a Fabulous Find”campaign. Place teamed up with myself, Alyssa Beltempo, Emily Smith and Erin Elizabeth and challenged us to style our best head to toe fall outfit with pieces we could find at the mall. I was so thrilled at this opportunity because of course I love a good fashion challenge and Place is somewhere I go to quite often since it’s in my area, and did I mention that I love fall fashion!?  Continue reading

Hey guys! Happy labour day weekend! I’m heading to a cottage this weekend to enjoy the last bit of summer. But while I wait on everyone else (I’m usually the last one out the door but not today #winning) I thought I’d quickly share with you these outfit shots. About two weeks ago the lovely people at Krowd Magazine asked to feature me in their street style section and of course I said yes! I met up with one of their awesome photographers Odusi Oladimeg downtown here in Ottawa, Continue reading

Back to School with Simons

_DSC9896-Edit

Who’s ready to go back to school!? Are you raising your hand? No? Me neither. I used to like going back to school when I was in high school, hmmm actually make that elementary school. Back to university just marks the beginning of stress season, all nighters, eating terribly, looking like a zombie with unwashed hair…should I go on? As much as school can be a complete and total pain, I always try to remember how lucky I am to have the opportunity to go to school and how valuable education is. Continue reading

Outfit Round Up: Bluesfest 2016

FullSizeRender-8

Hey guys! In my last post,I shared an outfit with you that I styled for Bluesfest. Like I mentioned last time, it was my first time attending the festival and I had a blast!! My favourite shows were Belly (surprisingly), The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nelly. I would’ve definitely added Drake to that list had he shown up as the surprise guest at the Future show like the rumours were saying. I’m not even going to go into that because the disappointment was soooo real *ugly cries*.
