Shopbop BF Sale: A Few Things to Consider

November 26, 2019

I'm sure many of you share the same sentiment, but I have very mixed feelings about Black Friday. The sheer consumerism and unnecessary spending deeply bother me, and the sales admittedly make me think I need more than I actually do. At the same time, though, it still is a good opportunity to get what I actually need or have truly considered at a better price. This Black Friday, I'll mostly be sitting out of the shopping, save for a few necessities for Miles. That said, I will be picking up a …

Five Foundational Pieces for Fall

November 4, 2019

It's been a little over a month now since I went back to work full time, and to say it's been a challenge to find my groove is an understatement. Even though we have a lot of help, I still find myself feeling like I haven't done everything I want to in a day. I constantly wonder how my parent's generation made it look so easy: my mom worked a full time job, travelled for work, and still managed to get a fresh meal on the table for us every single night. I'm definitely having to learn to manage …

Six Tips for Easy Travel w. Monos

October 21, 2019

Even though I love getting away and am super grateful to be able explore new destinations, I usually dread the actual travelling part of it. Between the stuffy, germy air, limited food options, and not being able to really stretch my legs for hours, it can all leave me feeling a little out of sorts. We just booked our first trip since Miles was born (we're going to Hawaii!), so it seems perfectly fitting to share a few things I've learned over the years to make the experience of air travel as …

Shopbop Fall Sale Picks

September 25, 2019

I officially went back to work yesterday! Hectic schedules and emotions aside (I definitely teared up a few times during the day), I have to say that it felt really nice to get dressed in clothes without having to consider how easily it'll stain or stretch while taking care of a baby. While it may sound trivial, after a full year of being on maternity leave, it's been fun to refresh my wardrobe and look forward to putting together looks for work again. I've been partnering with Shopbop for …

The Casual Jumpsuit of My Dreams

August 28, 2019

Although I've got a lot of mixed feelings about going back to work full time in a few weeks, one thing I am looking forward to is having an excuse to not be in sweats all day. While I love the idea of dressing well even at home, I've learned this year that I'm decidedly not motivated enough to do so when there's nowhere to be and nobody to see (except Miles, of course). As such, it'll be a nice change to wear the bulk of the clothes in my closet again! One piece that has me particularly excited …

Our Neutral, Scandinavian Inspired Living Room

July 31, 2019

It's hard to believe how quickly time has gone: it's almost been a full a year since we moved into our place! While it took some time for it to start feeling like home, it's been a pretty special process: our first night sleeping here was the night we left the hospital with Miles, so it feels like we've been getting to know both the space and our baby over the course of the year... and in some ways feel like we're finally starting to feel at home with both. As previously mentioned, we've …

Something Blue

July 24, 2019

When it comes to wedding guest attire, black has always been my go-to. Perhaps it's because I think it'll be more versatile for styling, or that I'll be able to get more wear out of it, but it's been a no questions asked kind of situation for me for a long time. Lately, I've found myself wanting to step out of that and take a style risk or two (at least for my standards). I was thisclose to choosing the black option for this Vetta jumpsuit, but something drew me to the muted blue option …

Bright, Minimal Nursery with Etsy Canada

July 2, 2019

After Miles turned about 7 months old, I looked at his empty nursery and thought to myself that it was probably high time to get started on filling it. I know, I know - most first time parents seem to have the space all ready to go long before baby arrives. I've been a little slow on the uptake... but I am happy to finally share it with you now! In truth, I've actually really enjoyed the process of slowly bringing our home together since we moved in almost a year ago. Even though I do feel a …

The Classic Summer Piece ft. Power of My People

June 11, 2019

When it comes to wardrobe staples, I can't think of too many styles more versatile than the classic white button down shirt. Refined yet casual, a good white shirt can work in so many different environments and lifestyles, and be worked into countless looks. Recently, I added this short-sleeved, linen version from local brand Power of My People to my closet, and I literally wore it three days in a row! And if it didn't need a wash, I'm sure I would've continued. The breezy fabric content is …

Tread Forward

May 1, 2019

As with a lot of things in life, I tend to feel that sneakers are better when they're simpler. I'm not a fan of logos or flashy colours on my shoes, so an all-white pair without an overt brand showing have been my style of choice for a long time. Last Thursday, Everlane debuted a sneaker that's been a long time coming -- according to their team it's been 2 years, to be exact. They come off-white (and six other colours), and are completely logo-less and clean. They also happen to be the lowest …
