Summer is my jam. I love sundresses and shorts and maxi dresses; I have way too much clothes for the three to four-month stint that I get once a year. Fall on the other hand is not exactly my preferred season to dress for. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love all the pretty colours of the changing season, I love hot coffee on a crisp day and knitted sweaters, but I grimace the first day I have to slither back into my jeans after a long summer of sunkissed skin and short shorts. There is more layering involved and fall clothes are more function than fashion. It…

Skin Care: These are a Few of My Favourite Things
I usually try to stick with the same beauty regime, especially when I find products that work for my skin. I only switch things up if there is a change in the season, or my skin has gotten “used” to a certain product. A while ago I put together a list of the products that I found worked well for my daily routine, some of them I still cycle through but I do like to change things up and try new products so I put together an updated list of all the products that I am loving right now. I picked my top five choices and included how I use…

Blonde Hair Care: Maintaining the Perfect Shade of Blonde
In hairdresser speak my hair is naturally a level two or three, which in layman’s terms means almost black. I basically came in asking for every hairstylist’s nightmare, a dark-haired person requesting to leave the salon with their hair lifted to Kim Kardashian/Draco Malfoy blonde. Check out my Pinterest board to see my inspiration for my hair. It took me almost a whole year to get my hair to the colour that I wanted and the maintenance to keep it from getting brassy is intense. Ideally, I like to keep my hair in the realm of a grey-ish blond, so it effectively masks my greys (yes I have greys) and…

My Secret to Long Lashes
My Eyelash Journey I had never had my lashes done before but I was headed off on a few beach vacations last winter, my girlfriends and I decided to get lash extensions so we could have effortless lashes on our trip. I was only planning to have them while I was on vacation but I became obsessed. I hate doing my makeup, so waking up and having my lashes looking flawless was such a treat. It is definitely a tradeoff, you know the old adage, pain is beauty, this definitely applies to eyelash extensions. They were so irritating to my eyes, I had trouble sleeping with them on and I…

Wedding Guest Looks
It is wedding season. This year we only have one wedding to attend but I have quite a few friends who recently got engaged so I have a feeling that next year is going to be a busy one. I really struggle with wedding guest looks because usually, the “it colour” of the season ends up being the colour of most bridesmaid dresses. It is also an event that is heavily photographed, so choosing a dress that is timeless yet trendy can be difficult to navigate. AND of course the most important rule, avoid white and anything that may photograph as white; steer clear of grey, silver, really pale pinks, you don’t…
