Hello Darlings,

Three weeks ago one of my favorite stores Nordstrom added more good cheer to the Canadian fashion scene, announcing they are opening stores in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Ottawa.

Thanks to my friends at the PR agency Maverick, I had the wonderful opportunity to not only attend the press launch at the Ritz Carlton hotel in downtown Toronto, I also enjoyed meeting and speaking with Blake Nordstrom who is the President of Nordstrom. As you likely guessed, Blake Nordstrom is the fourth generation of his family to lead the company, which began as a shoe store in Seattle in 1901.

Hello Darlings,

It's officially the season of a sneaker! With Jimmy Choo, YSL, Lanvin, to Miu Miu — all offering sneakers with animals prints, sequins and metallic details — similar to the designer tee craze a few seasons ago, this season it is all about designer fashion forward sneakers. Like beautiful designer pumps, these darlings will cost a pretty penny but are definitely worth saving up for.

At first weary, I hopped on the sneaker bandwagon last week. After receiving a beautiful pair of Alexander McQueen x Puma sneakers as a gift, I was starting to understand all the hype. At a first look they were not my style but after a few wears I was sold on the idea — now I live in them! Aside from being super comfy, they are also practical for rainy and cold fall days.

Hello Darlings,

Aside from shopping for cashmere, the second best thing about fall is shopping for boots. Unlike shopping for heels, finding a perfect boot is not easy. Along with considering your outerwear, purse selection is also important to be sure your boots complement your overall look. During the fall and winter months, boots are commonly your biggest fashion statement and I am sure that no girl wants to be stuck in a pair that doesn't say much.

For me this season is all about over the knee boots, sneakers with a wedge or without, and statement booties!

Hello Darlings,

Did you know that 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong bra size?

Considering this shocking fact, I was on a mission to share the secrets behind a well fitting bra. With the help from La Vie En Rose and my personal bra-shopping experience, I've come up with a few simple steps to finding the perfect fitting bra!

Every great outfit begin with proper undergarments. A poorly fitting bra can destroy an overall appearance of a beautiful blouse or your favorite dress. Therefore it is crucial that a woman knows her bra size and selects the various bra styles that will best complement each outfit she wears.
