Oh hello, it's been a while. It feels like forever since I last sat down and spent time writing a post, and I definitely haven't been sharing nearly as much as I've wanted to during the course of my pregnancy. To be perfectly frank, I've been exhausted after work most days, and consider it an accomplishment if I cross one thing off my to-do list in the evenings. Aside from prepping for baby we (and by we I mean almost exclusively my husband) are also renovating and preparing to move into a new …
Romper Weather
I'll be the first to admit it: given the fact that my current rate of urgently needing to pee is basically once every thirty minutes, a one-piece probably isn't the most practical thing I could be wearing. That being said, the amount of times I've reached for this Smash + Tess romper lately in spite of the inconvenience has to be a pretty good indication of just how good it is.

I certainly didn't think I was huge at that point, maybe just a little out of place and uncomfortable in my rapidly …

In addition to the fact that there's typically a great story and a passionate, hardworking, most often female founder behind these companies, I also love that smaller brands tend to put a lot of heart and soul into doing fewer products really, really well. I first discovered Vancouver-based Luna Nectar maybe a year ago, shortly after I started regularly using lash serums. …
Hello, Old Friend
Ahh colour; my old friend. If you've been reading my blog for a while - and by a while I mean years - you'll know I wore a whole lot of it back in the day. Brights on brights, colour-blocking, bold accessories, there was no limit to where it could go. For a long time now I've tried to put those days way behind me and have stuck exclusively with neutrals or muted colors that work like neutrals (think denim and army green), but something about this Everlane striped shirt dress changed that. I'll …
