The past weekend was wonderful for a variety of reasons, but a highlight was definitely Sunday afternoon when I convinced David to take me to the pumpkin patch. Unfortunately, I obviously didn't know what I was in for and my choice of footwear was rather inappropriate for the given situation. Thankfully, David saved the day by inventively making use of some plastic bags for me to wear over my snakeskin loafers. Though everything worked out & we got some laughs out of it, the lesson was …

Little Doses of Happy
{a pretty manicure that is still 'safe' enough for my liking, given to me by a talented friend}We've been blessed with some remarkably beautiful, albeit chilly, autumn weather here in Vancouver this year.

Since I was basically a walking advertisement for their clothing anyway, I decided to submit the look to their website's PEOPLE! initiative and lo and behold,was chosen! I had initially felt a little bad about the lack of …
Title / Style Republic Feature
I've enjoyed reading Style Republic's "We Love Bloggers" segment since its debut, so I was thrilled to be contacted by the editor-in-chief herself several weeks ago to be featured. I was even happier when Brittany told me the item of the week was by Stuart Weitzman, one of my favourite brands for on trend yet comfortable footwear. Given the fact that these booties are not a style I would normally choose for myself, I'm pleasantly surprised at how much they've grown on me since their arrival - …
