Drop Waist Dress

June 4, 2015

I purchased this dress last summer at Old Navy for such a good price and figured it would be one of those dresses that I would wear all of the time because it is just such a good throw-on-and-go dress. I actually forgot that I had it until I saw this picture of Jillian Harris in a similar dress and remembered how much I loved the drop waist style. I am not even going to take full credit for this look because I just loved how she styled it with the hat. I added my own twist of course with the espadrilles and cozy cardi, and have since had this dress on heavy rotation.

Highs And Lows

April 3, 2015

{My first time at Colette enjoying the caramel creme fraiche macaron.}

When I took Milo out this morning to do his biz (you know) I was so pleasantly surprised to find that the sun was shining so bright and the temperature felt exceptionally warm. My sisters and I are heading to a local farm today to kick off the long Easter weekend, and I really couldn’t have asked for a better day. I hope you all have a great long weekend filled with lots of chocolate! See you Monday.

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide With Gilding The Lily

February 4, 2015

When Gilding The Lily set up shop in the Distillery District last summer I was immediately drawn to the name. To Gild the lily means to adorn something that is already beautiful, to make it more extravagant than one could ever imagine. When I walked into the store, my heart honestly skipped a beat. The jewellery/lifestyle store boasts some of the most beautiful jewellery from some of the most covet worthy, celebrity favorite designers like Jacquie Aiche and Gara Danielle, who Annie Jagger, a celeb stylist herself, has hand-picked for her store. Aside from the most unique and stunning pieces of jewelry I have ever seen, Gilding The Lily is also full of unique accessories from beautifully illustrated coffee table books, to rock crystals and the coolest hand carved cow skull ( Annie Jaggers picks for a unique Valentine’s Day gift). Although most can’t (I know I can’t) afford to purchase jewellery from Gilding The Lily on a regular basis, Valentine’s Day is an exception to the rule and is the perfect time to put the spotlight on one of the most beautifully curated stores in Toronto. Last week I spent the afternoon at Gilding The Lily with the lovely Taylor, who helped me pick out 12 pieces from delicate necklaces to ear skimmers that I consider to be some of the most special and meaningful gifts to give to that special someone on Valentine’s Day. I also caught up with Annie Jagger herself to ask her a few questions about what Valentine’s Day looks like in her house.
