August 2022 Mood Board

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!

February 2022 Mood Board

Lifestyle

My February 2022 Mood Board has a few standout themes. Creamy winter whites and inspiring spaces reflect my desire for a new place to call and make home. Carbs and cheese are, of course, what make life worth living during the winter. I am prioritizing meaningful rest during my downtime, and Jasmine Dowling’s recent post speaks to my current mindset perfectly. I feel older this month, yet I am still learning new things about myself – I want to prioritize my spending towards big-ticket items that will last a lifetime (good shoes, quality jewellery) rather than fast fashion or...

2022 Vision Board

Lifestyle

My 2022 vision board was a challenging one to create. Things feel so uncertain, it’s difficult to visualize what the next week will look like, let alone the next year. There is some major change happening in my life at the very start of this year. While it’s incredibly exciting, anything new is a little daunting. And let’s not even talk about the precarious circumstances surrounding this ever-evolving (and seemingly never-ending) pandemic and resulting uncertain travel plans. I am SO grateful for 2021, the lessons it taught me and the opportunities it allowed for. I ended last year closer...
