In the spirit of the new year, it’s time to make decisions that will enhance the next 12 months. Out with the old and invest with the new! Prepare for the year ahead with wardrobe investments that will be worth the money all of 2018 and many more years. Ever since I gave up my teenage love of fast fashion, the clothing I’ve bought has felt special. The money spent on high-quality items that last for years is worth it, and the memories associated with the item have an added va

The chilly winter has set in the Northern Hemisphere and it’s cold. Very cold. I have become the girl who sits in meetings in a puffer jacket, and the tip of my nose is permanently red. But who can be cold when there are lots of scarves to be worn? In addition to my puffer jacket, I have been wearing scarves at all times to keep warm and stylish. They can be dressed up, dressed down, and are perfect for completing an outfit. My coat rack is currently full to the brim with sca

This week I challenged myself to dress up my work wardrobe. Which might seem like a pretty blah challenge, but considering I generally get dressed at 5:45am, earrings early in the morning don’t usually happen. I came up with this challenge from something I’ve always believed in. “If you look good, you feel good.” And knowing I was going into a busy week this week, I wanted to feel good despite the stress. So I got to work and each day put together outfits that looked professi

Happy November 1st! One of the best things about the weather cooling down is that I get to break out the best part of my closet: Coats. From elevating an outfit to just keeping us warm, coats are necessary to keeping stylish and cozy all fall long. My own style reflects that of classic, chic, and casual has led me to have coat staples that are my go-tos, but I’m excited to maybe try out some new styles for what will likely be another beautiful Portland fall. The Best Fall Coa

This is a non-dedicated post in collaboration with brands. All opinions are blogger’s own #ad As it has been under 50 degrees every morning for the last week, I can officially say that Fall is here! Time for cozy jackets, comfortable booties, and the perfect pair of black jeans. My fall style has arrived! My overall style is very classic yet casual, and for fall that’s what I’m going for. Classic pieces mixed with comfortable cuts and a little bit of fun print. I also want ou

It seems like whenever there are plans to be made, they involve brunch. From weekend meetings to post-girls night to simply being hungry at 10:30am, brunch is the most wonderful meal. With brunch plans this weekend, it is time to start planning out the perfect bellini and biscuits outfit. That’s why I’ve rounded up my favourite mid-morning meal wardrobe choices to make sure we all look fabulous for our boozy brunch dates. What to Wear For All Your Brunch Needs 1. Work via Mak

As a Taurus, I am a creature of comfort and cannot live without those comforts. I am not completely happy unless all of my needs are met. Over the years I have made myself a grocery list of the things I need to feel comfortable and content in my surroundings. And today I thought I’d share them. *please note this list excludes people and ideas 1. Thick cardigans ASOS I love to be cuddly and warm, and a chunky cardigan – like this one – wrapped around me makes me feel nice and

Now that June is in full force, the sun is shining and my activities calendar is lining up. Afternoons in the park and weekends at the waterfront as far as the eye can see. And what do I plan on wearing? Dresses. Dresses are the perfect outfit for summer, as they are breezy and bright – what else could you need? But with a full social calendar, there are only so many occasions before people realize you’re wearing the same dress. That’s why it’s time to stock up on perfect sum

We all like to feel like we’re fit. So we want to buy a fitness tracker. But all the options are clunky and ugly and do not go with that super cute DVF dress we bought on sale.

Read below to see the pros and cons of owning such a gorgeous piece of tech. Enthusiast Review: RINGLY I first came across RINGLY from an ad on Facebook. And while I normally

Over the years my style has developed. From exclusively wearing any bright colour, to any trend Forever 21 deemed acceptable to becoming the queen of Portland fishing trip hipster gear, there have been more style transformations than I’d like to admit over the last ten years. But now, at my ripe age of 21, I realize it’s time to stop slipping between trends and phases and stick with my own signature style that I can call my own. Because once you have tied down your own person

With spring now in full bloom, it’s time to update the wardrobe. This spring is really about going outside of your normal wardrobe and having fun with patterns, designs, and styles. If you normally wear all black, try some pastels. If you stick with stripes, try some cut-outs. And if you love wearing jeans every day, maybe stick on a skirt. Play it up! As we enter spring 2016, it’s time to look at some styles that help us to up our ante when it comes to style. So below are so

I had to write an essay today in my AP Language & Composition class. The prompt was “Explain how the ideals of beauty and aesthetics influence daily life.” We’d just finished reading a few essays written about this topic and were given forty minutes to write the essay, as is required by the CollegeBoard when you take the AP test. And so I wrote it. I talked about how people view beauty creates the need to look that way (thus the beginning of the cosmetic and fashion industry)
