Preppy style is a big part of my closet. So I was excited to read The Official Preppy Handbook to appreciate how the preppy culture in the 1980’s affects my fashion choices. The book is fun and light-hearted read. My favourite part is the guide to women’s preppy dressing, with these 10 easy steps to achieve ultimate preppy look:

Hello Darlings,

Once in a while a girl comes across certain things that make her everyday life more fun. My two most recent discoveries are florals and Pinterest, which may seem as completely different things, but one did influence the other. And with how fast people seem to be adopting Pinterest, I thought to add my 2 cents about why it's making my everyday life more interesting.

New social media options are introduced seemingly every week. Let's recap: Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Tumblr are the main ones that I am using (and already struggling to keep up with regular updates). Still, the latest addition to the mix is worth checking out, which is Pinterest.

Hello Darlings,

Girls Night Out— there's nothing quite like catching up with your girlies over a glass of wine. It has been a long tradition for my friends and I and what has kept us close since high school. Despite the different directions in life that we have all taken, it is the regular girl's night out that brings us and keeps us together. In my circle, we often pick out a trendy restaurant where the food is great and the conversation is even better.

WithLoveGabrielle.com will host a Fabulous Girls Night Out during Toronto Fashion Week at one of my favourite spots in Toronto. The event will feature all of the girly favourites and more, free of charge but limited to the first 30 people and their guest. The details and the date are coming up and I cannot wait to meet you guys :) Same goes for everyone in Montreal but just a few weeks after Toronto!

Hello Darlings,

With Facebook and Twitter buzzing with reading week and spring break chit chat, thought to add my two cents on prepping for travel. Something as simple as choosing toiletry basics can make your trip the least stressful. Every girl knows how a chipped nail can spoil an otherwise wonderful day, so pack your toiletries first to ensure you have all the daily essentials.
