Reflecting On A Tale Of Transitions

June 8, 2015
BTS Neutrogena Shoot

Looking back on these hilarious moments from my teenage years and early twenties absolutely warms my heart and often leaves me in a fit of giggles. An obsessive crush on Ashley Parker Angel, complete with an O-Town/APA fan page? What a random choice. Wearing completely ill-fitting clothing, including low rise denim sans pockets? A right of passage, I suppose, but embarrassing nonetheless. The task of navigating my way through post-secondary. Moving out and experiencing shenanigans with my roommates and our nightmare neighbour. It’s so fun to think back on these times and smile. These small moments in life don’t often feel special until you’re sitting in your living room a decade later and reflecting on them.

Behind The Scenes at Neutrogena
 I feel so grateful for everything that I’ve been lucky enough to experience so far in life. Can’t wait to do this again in 10 years and think about what an adventure my twenties have been, don’t you think?!

Oh, how I do love a classic black and white pairing.  These silk window pane printed trousers with a delightful neon drawstring have made their way out of storage for spring.  And this new Gentle Fawn vest just so happens to be the perfect length to break up the print and give that good ol’ illusion of a slimmer silhouette.

Speaking of which, I’m back on the #2015STRONG train.  Nothing can lift spirits like eating well and moving.  Haven’t worked my way up to a full fledged workout regime, but Rome wasn’t built in a day!!  It seems so simple, but little efforts have been making the biggest difference.  Just drinking more water and getting a good sleep has really helped.  I really do overthink the lifestyle change, but achieving a healthy body and mind can often be about those subtle habits.  More about this soon.  Hope your week is off to a great start xo

Pop the champagne!  It’s time for a good ol’ summer bash!  My good friend Jen, from Prairie Girl in the City, and I will be hosting a party on Thursday from 6PM-9PM at Shoes On Fourth.  One of my absolute favourite local spots, this lovely boutique is full of really good quality footwear for an array of personal styles (they even have shoes for the fellas).  Their in-house Miz Mooz brand is one of my go-to’s when it comes to heels, as they fit my awkwardly wide feet and are always offered in a pop of colour as well as classic neutrals.  My Miz Mooz shoes ALWAYS make a statement but are secretly still comfortable…aka the perfect shoe!
I’d LOVE for you to join the fun on Thursday.  The details are below, including an awesome discount, the chance to win gift cards, swag bags, and donations to Dress for Success!  See you in a few days 🙂
