Hello Darlings,
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to be part of a new handbag campaign for Roots fall 2012 collection. Roots is an iconic Canadian brand started in 1973 by Michael Budman and Don Green. Along with its beaver insignia, the brand is renowned as leaders in quality leather products.

When I moved to Canada in 1999, I remember my parents bringing me to a Roots store to purchase my first hoodie :) Ever since, Roots has been top of mind for my family when searching for leather goods, as my Dad will attest since their wallet and bag selection are my favorite gifts for Father's Day — three in the past ten years including earlier this summer. Meanwhile my mom knows their their shoes and handbags, which she describes as "indestructible".
Hello Darlings,
In one of the more unique party settings, Marketing Magazine hosted an event on the set of the Breakfast Television morning show to announce their inaugural list of Canada's Top 30 Under 30. Very excited and proud to announce that yours truly was included among a list of young colleagues who are accomplishing big things in the fields of media, PR and advertising.

Never in a million years never would I have imagined that from such humble beginnings, my passion for life (and playing with my laptop and camera) would give me the opportunity to join such a talented group! The 2012 class includes advertising phenoms such as Kyle Lamb (26) who is an Art Director at advertising firm John St. - click the link on his name to read about some of the accomplishments of this super-creative guy including the hilarious story about how his mock "Catvertising" campaign went viral - including plugs from both CBS News and late night TV host Conan O'Brien.

A well fitting dress that is versatile enough to wear on a variety of occasions is an essential part of every woman's dream wardrobe. You just never know when a hot date will ask you out for a romantic dinner, or when a fabulous girl's night out on the town will come together last-minute, or you are suddenly invited to a swanky soiree. For all these "what ifs" and more, there should be that one dress that is always on stand-by!

Who's better to ask for her advice to find that perfect fitting dress if not a woman behind one of the best fitting dresses I've ever worn? Let me introduce Laurel Berman, designer of the hugely popular Los Angeles based brand Black Halo, and also the designer of their iconic Jackie O dress. So I asked Laurel for her insights on what to look for when shopping for that one perfect dress:
