BEAUTY INVESTMENT: DIOR

BEAUTY INVESTMENT: DIOR

Throughout the years, I’ve tried A LOT of products (both good and bad) and realized that a beauty investment : Dior being one of my favourites, is worth the splurge! Two years ago, I received a Dior limited edition palette for Christmas from my sister – we have a special bond my sister & I, we always tell each other what we want as gifts. Sure, it takes away a bit of mystery and fun but we always end up so happy with what we get! When I saw this gorgeous palette, it had to be mine – it had…

MY SUIT, MY WAY WITH LE CHATEAU

MY SUIT, MY WAY WITH LE CHATEAU

Nothing more boss than my suit, my way with Le Chateau! Dressing for work in the morning should not be a hassle – it should be fun! The key to making it fun is inserting great pieces into your wardrobe that can easily be mixed and matched with other items in the closet, like this stunning, well tailored Toffee Colored Le Chateau Blazer & Pants. I styled this suit with a white mock neck sweater, brown croco embossed booties, a snake print bag, gold hoops and I topped it off with an oatmeal cashmere-like hooded wrap coat. You can break…

HOW TO WEAR EXTENSIONS WITH SHORT HAIR

HOW TO WEAR EXTENSIONS WITH SHORT HAIR

I’ve always had fine & thin hair and keeping it long wasn’t really doing anything for me, therefore on recommendation from my hairdresser, I faced my fear & cut it short to create more volume. Surprisingly, I fell in love with the cut – it frames my face nicely & it’s low maintenance, which is great since I have a really busy schedule. However, I’ve been missing having long hair and my sister’s wedding was coming up so I decided to give Luxy hair extensions a try. I was a little worried about whether I would be able to blend…

WHAT I’M BUYING THIS FALL + SHOPBOP SALE!!!

WHAT I’M BUYING THIS FALL + SHOPBOP SALE!!!

Although I love Summer, Fall has to be my favourite season of the year, and the reason is simple: Fashion. I’m obsessed with blazers (I counted 21 in my wardrobe…), lightweight sweaters (too many to count), midi skirts & jackets. It’s so easy to put together and elevate an outfit with something so simple as a blazer! You just can’t go wrong, and that’s why I selected it to be the anchor of the 1st Shopbop outfit that I put together for Back to Work. This Lioness The Don Jacket in check is stunning and I love the beige undertone.…

BACK TO WORK ESSENTIALS: POLYSLEEP

Labour Day is upon us, which can only mean one thing: it’s time to put those summer vacation memories aside and head ‘Back to Work’. If you’re anything like me, you’ve already started organizing your Fall wardrobe and your home. But, there is one important element that we tend to underestimate in our preparations and that is the power of a good night’s sleep! Being well rested can help us get back to the grid and it gives us the energy & determination to power through. Now, many experts disagree on the actual number of hours we should sleep, with…

HOME OFFICE / WALK-IN CLOSET OVERHAUL WITH IKEA

HOME OFFICE / WALK-IN CLOSET OVERHAUL WITH IKEA

I’m so thrilled to finally unveil my home office / walk-in closet overhaul with IKEA [Ad] – right in time for Back to Work/ Back to School! It’s no surprise to anyone that living in Toronto is expensive & space is scarce, so you have to learn how to make the best of it in order to live comfortably. I live in Midtown – a hotspot for young professionals, and the home to some beautiful, but very small condos. Mine is approximately 600 square feet, but thankfully it has 2 bedrooms, one of which I converted into my home office…

PARIS COUTURE WEEK OUTFIT #5

PARIS COUTURE WEEK OUTFIT #5

Last, but not least: my Paris Couture Week outfit #5 featured this stunner from Self Portrait via Shopbop. When you wear quality clothes, you feel it, both physically and emotionally. The stunning crochet construction, the fabric & the weight of this dress testifies to it’s craftsmanship & quality. However, the most important thing is that this dress made me feel like a million dollars! What’s even more is that I was able to hit the shows all glam with this dress and sandals, and then switch to sneakers to run around the city. We walked all the way from Place…
