The Spring Season has officially arrived, and so has GEOX’s latest collection When I think of Spring, I think of kicking my heavy knits, warm jackets and skinny jeans to the curb in favour of bright colours, jackets that can be incorporated into an outfit for purposes beyond their function, and a really great sneaker. GEOX’s latest collection is delivering on all of the above this season with elevated sneakers, classic cut jackets with a dose of personality and heels that have incorporated technology and design that leaves you feeling as though you are wearing a sneaker. In short, you can kick ..read more

Another trend that is back and here to stay: The Long Denim Skirt And if you’ve been hanging around here long enough you’ll know that once upon a time I was told that if you’ve lived through a style era once, you shouldn’t wear it again. That that I say: I disagree. Will you wear it the same way you did a few decades ago, probably not. But that doesn’t mean you should abandon it all together. My advice if you have lived through a style era before: pair that piece with an everyday classic piece you feel really comfortable and like yourself in. In the case of a long denim skirt, maybe a white bu ..read more

Do you love pearls but tell yourself you can only wear them dressed up? My love for pearls runs deep. First and foremost my Nana’s middle name was Pearl, her mother’s name was Pearl, and now my daughter’s middle name is Pearl - alongside another one of my favourite names Isla (which comes from my other grandmother’s name just with a Scottish twist as an ode to my husband’s family). The other reason I love them? The classic elegance that they exude. In fact, I’d probably choose them over diamonds if I had to pick my favourite (gasp! don’t tell my husband - I don’t want to plant any seeds). Thin ..read more

Raise your hand if you’ve ever said “I can’t wear stripes!” Not being able to wear stripes it one of those old outdated style rules that falls into the same category as: black is slimming (more on that another day), and don’t wear white after Labour Day. Quick reminder: any rule in this life that holds you back than feeling at your best is probably not a rule you shouldn’t be following. But where were we? Thing is, stripes is one of the easiest patterns to incorporate into an outfit and bring a little personality to an otherwise plain Jane look (no offence to the Jane’s out there). The other t ..read more

‘Tis the Season …to overthink, stress, worry, or maybe you are already in full blown panic mode trying to source “the perfect gift” that we are often sold online. I gotta be honest - I don’t buy into it, The “perfect” part that is. So what if we all agreed to let that idea go - and instead focus on buying and giving gifts with intention instead. Because isn’t it the “thought” that counts as they say? Am I sharing gift ideas that I would love to receive or have given as gifts - yes. But if you are at the point that you can’t physically get them into your hands - a gift card is not a terrible op ..read more

‘Tis the Season For Summer sales and reaching for the same things on repeat. If there was one season a year that I could truly live a minimalistic life - it would be Summer. Anyone else notice they are reaching for the same handful of pieces day-in, and day-out? I mean, as an expert I would say if you do - invest in those pieces because you know your cost per wear will be low. Why do I highlight this? Because if statements like “it’s fine, it will do, or it’s okay” are ones I hear on repeat all year long - well then statements like “I’m just going to the beach, or I’m just going to be hanging ..read more

Find YOUR Perfect Pair If jeans are my go-to bottoms, then white sneakers are my go-to favourite footwear. But before we go any further let’s clarify what I mean by white sneakers shall we? What I don’t mean is a white running shoe that you would work out in, go for a walk or run in, or find in any athletic section of a shoe store. What I mean is a tennis-like looking shoe that you would not play tennis in - ha ha ha. Why I love the white sneaker as much as I do? Because it’s a foolproof, goes with everything, instantly dresses down an outfit while also leaving you feeling as though you can mo ..read more
