Fun & Interesting Things
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love a good Aperol Spritz – no matter what the New York Times says – so when I saw the much-loved Italian aperitivo brand popping up in my ‘hood, you know I had to go and check it out. If you want to live la dolce vita and feel like you’ve been transported to a private Mediterranean oasis, then Bar Aperol is your spot

Very few fashion collaborations get me excited like this one between alice + olivia and Starbucks; of course it is mostly due of my love of kitshy, silly things. Designed exclusively for mass-coffee chain by Stacey Bendet, the set includes a double wall ceramic tumbler dressed in a removable tutu (yes! a tutu!) with a little bow tie and the cute little “Bearista Bear” wearing

Christian sent me a photo of the best shoes ever. But, they are sold out online. Saddest day ever! If anyone finds a size 7/38 that they’d like to send my way, you’d be my best friend

I love the Canadian National Exhibition, also know as the CNE, but better know as The Ex.

Picture a twelve-year-old me. My favourite outfit was a bubble skirt with pedal pushers underneath, cropped top, and a neon scrunchie in my hair. I was obsessed with big crazy earrings – the bigger, bolder the better.

I’ll be honest, I’m really not that big of an ice cream fan. (Trust me, it’s a good thing for my dining companions – they can always have my mine.) However, add in some of my favourite things like chocolate, toffee, coconut, and macadamian nuts, and I just can’t resist. So when the invites came in for a few special events, I had to make time to pop up to the

I’ve been busy focusing on my business and also freelance writing for a couple outlets, including MarketWire and Revive Magazine as well as doing my on-camera stuff with TDot TV, working with the TFI and YES on their Passion For Fashion program, and a fun television show that I cannot wait to tell you about when I
