Blogging Culture and Looking The Part

On · 6 Comments

Hello Darlings, As with every typical day, my post shower routine starts with a trip into my closet where I peruse through heaps of clothing. Typically, nothing suits my mood for the day; classic “closet full of clothes and nothing to wear” dilemma. Incredibly enough there’s never a day when I walk in and know exactly which outfit to wear. As part of my day there’s typically a client event that adds to the pressure of always playing that part of being fashion forward. A concept that I dread! After all, what is fashion forward?

It seems that being in an industry that revolves around fashion always puts the pressure of looking the part. With street style and style blogging playing a prominent part in our current culture DNA, the two have evolved into a category that requires you meeting a certain criteria or adhering to a particular dress code. Somewhere between acing selfie game, flat shoots and strong hashtag game is the it-bag carrying, stiletto strolling persona that lost touch with individuality.

Sherway Gardens Spring #FaveFinds

On · 2 Comments

Hello Darlings, It is said that the best way to know a woman is to go shopping with her. Perhaps a naive statement but one that carries some truth to it. While shopping is an enjoyable activity it is also one that says a lot about woman’s likes and dislikes. Even more so it speaks to her emotional state.

Sherway Gardens

With long work days and school finals coming up, my Friday evening was spent “letting off some steam” and flexing some credit card muscles. As any woman I find comfort in retail therapy, even if shopping is a big part of my job description. For as long as I can remember my mom and I would spend some of our alone mother-daughter time at Sherway Gardens, and I have so many fond memories associated with the mall. It’s been a blessing to have the support and an opportunity to work with the very mall. If interested, you can find my style column at Sherway Gardens site, The Endless Closet or the YouTube channel. With a huge expansion opening this fall and number of amazing retailers joining the property, it’s an exciting time!

Transition Into Spring

On · Add Comment

Hello Darlings, As we shed our parkas and boots, it’s time to get planning that spring wardrobe! For anyone who’s been battling with winter hibernation, this time of the year is as exciting as it gets. While I do enjoy fashions of all seasons, there’s only so many ways that a girl can rock a coat or a parka. As Friday marked the official first day of spring, I’m ready to shed the winter layers and embrace the glorious season of skirts and no pantyhose.

Transition into Spring

While the weather is still somewhat indecisive in its choice of sunshine or snow, this grey Wilfred coat from Aritzia has become the perfect transition item that is ideal over light layering pieces. In fact these images were shot for Fashion Magazines feature on coats as a statement piece. As we bid farewell to winter and the sun slowly decided to grace up with its presence that’s when I am obsessively looking to add new transition items that will work from colder to warmer weather.
