{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.

{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…

{thrifting 101: milk glass party}
I’m a sucker for milk glass, as anyone can see by the shelf full of the stuff in my own place. I love that it has such a distinctive vintage look but can also be incorporated in a more modern space (when done right). In a way it’s really timeless. Here are two great pieces…

SAME BUT DIFFERENT / 01
Isn’t it funny how your brain sees things and makes connections? I spend (too much) time on Pinterest and surfing the web and started to notice a bunch of visual connections.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: when it’s ok to quit
Monday is like a mini fresh start every week. You get a chance to start the week off right, a little more refreshed, maybe on a new health kick, clean laundry and fridge full of food. For me today is a super big fresh start. Last Friday was my last day as a full-time employee…

SPACES: plants as decor
Do you have a green thumb? I definitely don’t but I’m starting to think that that can change. I grew up with house FULL of plants and a mother & grandmother who had a passion for plants. It was just the norm for me as a kid but I realize now what we had was…

{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…

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.

{artist showcase: a photographer & his gal travel the world}
Warning! Case of wanderlust may be a symptom of viewing this post. I came across this great Instagram photo series by Russian photographer Murad Osmann.
