Five Pieces to Add to your Fall Wardrobe

Fall is here! I'm literally swimming in pumpkin spice and crunchy leaves. LOL! I love that the weather changing gives us an excuse to shop for some Fall clothes too! Cooler temperatures and that hint of winter wind nipping at us has me online buying staple Fall pieces.

It's been a while since we talked Fashion.
Let me share some of my favourites!

Spring is here: Let's talk Mindset, Beauty and Fashion

Spring is here. Although it doesn’t feel like it in Ontario, Canada because we are on a stay-at-home order. BUT it doesn’t mean that you can’t dress up for yourself. I know it’s better said then done! If you see me... six out of seven days... I literally look like I rolled out of bed. 
Perks of working from home! But I am on a mission to change that!  


Glam days at least three times a week LOL... okay let's say two!

How to Choose the Best Nude Lipstick for Dark Skin

Nowadays, the beauty industry has come a long way with its inclusivity. It’s gotten easier to find complexion products that fit a range of skin types, and dark skin tones are finally getting the attention it deserves. Finding nude lipstick for my dark skin tone used to be a STRUGGLE. The colours were always way too light and I would end up looking so dry and ashy. I’m talking powdered doughnut looking lips y’all....no ma’am, not cute at all. If you know what I’m talking about, then you have a wider variety of rich colour options available now that will compliment your complexion and make your lips look gorgeous. Follow this ONE tip for choosing the best nude lipstick for your beautiful skin tone!

Know your Undertone...that’s it!

How to Buy Your Next Pair of Walking Shoes

Let’s talk about shoes! And no, I don’t mean those 6 Inch heels you bought years ago that are collecting dust in your closet! Oh.. No- It is just me *sigh* I’m talking about comfortable, everyday shoes. They are an essential part of any wardrobe and they should most definitely be front and centre in yours! I used to be a flats/sandals girl but my husband totally changed that.

We’re on what- week 365 of quarantine here! I have done through every emotion there is.
I like to go on walks with my husband and daughter before dinner. I usually complain about going but end up loving it in the end. Last week, I left the house in my slides. Cute but definitely not for long distance. Wearing the wrong shoe can really put a damper on what you're doing! Like when Ava doesn’t want to get into her stroller and I’m literally running down the street to get her in. Our feet are such an important part of our bodies and we need to make sure we are really taking care of them.


So the next time you go shoe shopping remember to keep these tips in mind so that your next pair is comfy!

Fashion: Seasonal Transition Pieces

I hope that you guys of all recovered from the holiday madness. I’m trying my best to get better from a cold (sad face). I have a question for you! How do you transition your clothes to be workable for all seasons? For example, you’re not going to wear a skirt in -40 below weather... Yes that was actually the weather here two weeks ago. Canadian problems!

Here are four key pieces everyone should have in their closet

Long Kimono Dusters
These are literally something that I wear 24/7- 365 days. They’re comfortable and can be found almost anywhere. You can get them in a variety of sleeve types! I have no sleeves, short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves and of course long sleeved. You can easily dress it up by wearing your favourite little black dress or even a one-piece jumper. Appropriate for all seasons! Check out Nordstrom for some unique pattern pieces like this one.

Any advice on how to confidently sport a new lip colour?
I think the key is to just wear it and not care about what anyone else thinks.

That Rihanna’s striking red lip from the PFW 2014 Christian Dior show was the bomb.
