  • { STYLE : fall favourites from Orly Kiely }

    oh wow, am I ever loving Orly Kiely’s Autumn/Winter collection. I don’t think I could’ve designed a line that was more me if I tried. Love the playful feminine style, patterns, and especially the colour palette.

  • {VINTAGE STYLE: black, brown & gold}

    I’m very excited to bring you the first of many creative photo & style posts that I worked on with the talented Maya Visnyei. Maya and I met back in May when my loft was photographed for Covet Garden (pre-order here for November delivery). I can’t tell you how happy I was when she reached out recently and asked if…

  • { style: love your lunch }

    Happy Labour Day! It’s kinda sad that this long weekend marks the unofficial end of summer because summer doesn’t technically end until September 22. But we all know that the major sign of the end of summer is that time of year that some people dread and others are giddy with excitement – back to…

  • STYLE: vintage wedding dresses from etsy

    I swear I wasn’t sitting around dreaming about a wedding but something made me search vintage wedding dresses on etsy. I totally underestimated what I found. So many beautiful and timeless pieces and all under $600! Of course if the stars align and you fall in love, it has be your size (the dress, not…

  • DIY : gold plastic hangers

    I’ve been working on some great creative shoots the past few days that I can’t wait to share with you! But until then, this mini gold hanger DIY that I did on set seemed to be a hit on my Instagram so I thought I would share. The truth is that I didn’t have the time…

  • {NEW WORK: 30 days of beauty campaign}

    This was the third year I’ve worked on the 30 Days of Beauty campaign for Shoppers Drug Mart. It also happens to be the last project I finished up before leaving my full-time job as designer & art director. This year we made it truly 30 days of beauty with a different looks for 30…

  • {style: blinged out shades}

    I don’t want to hear any of this ‘back to school’ or ‘end of summer’ stuff. That’s just the marketing dept. trying to get you to shop more. It’s still summer! I think summer fashion should be fun. Blinged-out cat-eye sunglasses…..too much? Dame Edna would fight me for these. Happy Monday! shop: available at Aldo

  • {STYLE: braids for the summer}

    It’s taken me forever to grow my hair. Now that it’s finally longer my favourite thing is to wear it in braids. Along with the classic top knot it’s another a great summer style to help with heat and summer frizzies. And depending on what style you choose I find that people are super impressed…

  • {style: live colourfully}

    To say that I love colour would be an understatement. Not only do I love it but I really do live it. The proof is in my Instagram feed with the classic outfit selfies. I’m always trying new bold colour combos and patterns. I don’t think I own anything beige or nude. Do you embrace…

  • {style: kisses for national lipstick day}

    Today is a day to celebrate beauty whether you’re a beauty fanatic or not. Every woman owns at least one lipstick, it’s like a passage to womanhood. We all have childhood memories of watching our moms put it on when getting ready for a night out, staring in awe as we watched the transformation. Now…

  • {trend alert: pineapples}

    Have you guys noticed there’s a little more pineapple going around these days? I sure did on my last window shopping trip at the mall. It makes for such fun imagery and great patterns and mostly it reminds us of warm weather and summer. Everyone needs a little pineapple in their life.  TOP: shirt, sundress…

  • {style: beach time}

    It’s taken a while but beach time is finally here. So whether you’re hitting up a local beach, cottage or traveling somewhere blue & beautiful like in North Carolina and staying in a gorgeous home rental from Kees or other companies, or maybe a backyard beach that looks suspiciously like a pool, don’t forget to…

  • {she’s a beauty}

    I recently updated and cleaned up my portfolio/website. I work on mostly beauty projects and I realized that I’ve Art Directed so many shoots that I don’t have up on my site which is a shame. Here are some of my favourite beauty shots that didn’t didn’t make it in as whole projects but the…
