My 2016 post count for the year was definitely the lowest it's been since I started the blog. One reason for this is the sheer fact that there was too much going on in my personal life -- what with wedding planning, apartment hunting, moving, and full time work -- and this space just fell by the wayside. But my other rationale, and the one that I'd prefer to believe though the former may be more true, is that I've also wanted to spend more time on each post and consider my content more …

Repeat Offender
While I'm all for mixing and matching to create fresh looks and to make the most of my closet, sometimes I'm just as happy to do what's even easier: re-wearing an outfit in its entirety... over and over again.

Since there are still a few months of cold weather after Christmas is over, cozy accessories that are both practical and stylish have been a top pick. Here are a few of my favourites from TOPSHOP Canada this season, …
#AmexLife
In a time of year as hectic for everyone as this one is, it feels almost redundant to write about how crazy things have been.

For me, realizing my potential has come to mean focusing on what really matters. …
