My 2023 Vision Board

2023… here we are. Naturally, it’s only fitting to type to create a vision board to ring in this new year. 2022 was a pretty fantastic one, all things considered. It was a dream to finally be able to travel again, to see family more frequently, and for the world to feel a little more open than it had for the last two years. I started a new job, built out a new agency, added a furry new member to our little family, and stretched myself in ways I didn’t know I was capable of. Now, in this year...

December 2022 Mood Board

Lifestyle

A mood board to mark the year’s end. From caviar and champagne, to coffee and cozy outfits, voila the vibe of this in-between time of year. Like so many of you, I’m feeling so fortunate to have this week between Christmas and New Year’s off and have no idea what day it is. I’m embracing every moment to nap, shop, make a second pot of coffee, and get deep into reflecting on 2022 and planning for 2023. I always refer to YearCompass as a tool for this, as it really requires a thoughtful approach and almost forces you to...

August 2022 Mood Board

Lifestyle

August’s mood board is about nostalgia for early 2000’s fashion, creativity abounding, not explaining oneself and, let’s face it, getting my abs back. Work-life balance remains a key theme, as does anticipation for an upcoming New York jaunt this Labour Day weekend. We’re a little neutral (like last month) with some pops of colour. Particularly something beach-ready, gauzy and citron-hued from Rat & Boa.

July 2022 Mood Board

Lifestyle

It’s a total white-out for my July 2022 Mood Board. Between last month’s colour overload and the launch of my latest project, Bonus Track, I’ve had a very vibrant past few weeks. So this long weekend, I’m envisioning a bit of a reset, a palate (or perhaps, palette) cleanser, if you will. I adore long weekends in the city. While everyone is heading to Muskoka, it feels like I have the neighbourhood to myself. Our puppy tyrant is going to stay with her grandparents for two nights, so I’m manifesting a week of slow mornings in white linen pajamas,...

June 2022 Mood Board

Lifestyle

It’s June 2022 and this month’s mood board is still feeling colourful! I’m talking oversized floral installations, rainbow ombré tabletops, graphic coffee table book covers and every Devil Wears Prada fan’s favourite colour: Cerulean. You might note a fluffy baby in the top right corner, which happens to be my current reality. Also my current reality? DON’T SLEEP ! (all caps necessary) as well as vino being the best medicine. Enter calming sound bowls and the energy of Gemini SZN to see me through. Stay safe out there, bbs, and enjoy the glorious start of summer.

May 2022 Mood Board

Uncategorized

In my May Moodboard my mind was on COLOUR, consciousness, art and VACATION. Our first true post-pandemic getaway is this month and I don’t think I’ve ever been more ready for something. I’m manifesting sun every day and sand between my toes, no turbulence, and a series of looks that I’ve been putting together for weeks now. Beyond that, I’m thinking about beautiful, nutritious foods, adding vibrancy back into my life and wardrobe, some inspiring creative projects and then more long-term travels. Where is your mind at this month? Are you feeling a certain vitality returning, too?

Sephora Sale April 2022: Shopping List

Beauty

It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year: the Sephora Sale! My shopping list is ready, and I’m counting down the hours. April 2022 is all about a restock of my daily favourites: Caudalie Vinoperfect, Supergoop Glowscreen, the best hair serum on the planet, Estee Lauder ANR. I’m also testing a few new things – the new Oribe strengthening line, Rosie Huntington-Whitely’s microencapsulated moisturizer, and the stress supplement by Moon Juice. In years’ past, I’ve made big-ticket purchases like my NuFace and Slip Silk Pillowcase, or else opted to take advantage of gift sets. But this year, it’s...

April 2022 Mood Board

Lifestyle

Someone tell me how I’m already around to creating my April 2022 Mood Board? This year feels at once a decade long, but also the blink of an eye. This month, I’m feeling COLOURFUL, which I haven’t in so, so long. I want to eat the rainbow. I want to wear statement shoes. I want to travel somewhere sunny and wear resort wear. I’m into hand lettering and very graphic art. I miss my pre-internet brain and am doing everything I can to get back in that headspace. I’m thinking about legacy but also about the immediate now. As...

March 2022 Mood Board

Lifestyle

From evenings out, to upcoming travels and words to live by, my March mood board was a bit of a mess, but that’s also my current headspace. I’m focusing on the highlights of the month ahead (dinners out on the town, hotel room service brought in) some goals and aspirations, upcoming travels and purchases, and general accomplishments. Look mom, I made it!
