For those who live in Canada or any other Nordic country, you may understand how I feel this week. We went from a balmy and rainy 12 degrees Celsius, to a frozen -27 degrees Celsius overnight. The first part of my week was exciting and motivating. It meant that spring was here and that I could…
Running Errands While Looking Put Together
I’m a big believer in the statement that wearing jogging pants out of the house means you have given up on life… Except when your jogging pants are really just as stylish as the rest of your wardrobe of course. Basically, I make an effort to leave the house looking put together, no matter where…
Canadian Winter Dresses
Typically, a Canadian winter consists of long and cold weeks where the sun rises once you get to work and sets about the same time as you leave the office. By the time February rolls around, you are buried deep in snow, and freezing your butt off because you’ve just lived through a month long…
Dresses and Turtlenecks
For those who grew up in the 90’s, such as myself, the trend of layering any type of shirt under a strappy dress brings back so many pleasant memories. The fact that this trend has been back in the forefront of the fashion world since this past summer has basically meant that I got to…
Casual Friday : Flatforms and the Canadian Tux

Every year, around this time, after having paid the post Christmas credit card bills, I also take a moment to re-evaluate my “shopaholic” budget. Believe it or not, I do actually set money aside so that I can indulge in my love for clothing and shoes. Especially the shoes… This year, seeing as I have…
Holidays at Work
Although most people like to keep their clothing selection at a casual and extremely comfortable level while at work between Christmas and New Years, I tend to enjoy mixing it up a bit to avoid starting my year off in a rut. Something about the holidays, whether at work or around family, makes me want…
Work Christmas Party
Whether you like it or not, most organizations today have a Christmas party scheduled in November/December so that we can enjoy the company of our coworkers outside of the office, and so that the boss can hopefully take a moment to thank his staff for all of the work that they do. Like all other…
Summer Outfits for Winter
Giving your summer neutrals a little revival in the winter is a fun way to change things up from the usual sweaters with leggings combo. Last week, while trying to find something comfortable yet original for our first Christmas fam jam, I did just that. On top of a black turtle neck and a pair…
Holidays in the Office
Winter is here! For those living in the Northern Hemisphere at least. It’s the time for snow, chilly temps, winter coats and boots, but it is also the time to have a little sparkle in your office wardrobe, seeing as we are in the holiday season! Everybody tends to focus on the event outfits because…
