May 2020 Mood Board

Another month in self-isolation, another vision board that doesn’t extend beyond the very immediate future. So let’s jump in, shall we? This month, I’m focusing on the things giving me joy in quarantine – wine, books, fresh flowers, pancakes on Saturday, a coordinated mask & dress look from Tracy Feith, more books… Sandra Oh on the cover of Elle Canada for a bit of fashion fantasy. The Ritz Paris and the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong… aka the two places I’m flying immediately the moment I’m able to. What are you dreaming about right now? ICYMI, check out last month’s moodboard...

April 2020 Mood Board

Moodboards

What a month it has been. I don’t know about you, but in terms of motivation and inspiration, I’ve been all over the place in April. Acceptance and joy one day, followed by melancholy and uncertainty the next. Some mornings, I have the drive to feel polished and get dressed up for a #QOOTD/#infitOfTheDay, and others I’ve made a duvet fort on the couch where I don’t move save to refill my water/coffee/wine glass. I’m sure I’m not the only one in this boat! I think we can all afford to give ourselves a bit of break while we...

#FancyFriday Picks

Shopping

In this time of self-isolation, I’ve come to seriously look forward to #FancyFriday. Whether or not I’m participating myself (because honestly, loungewear is life right now), I’ve loved watching the ladies I follow on IG get dolled up. It might seem frivolous to some, but I firmly believe in the magic of dressing up. And after all, in times like these, we need to find reasons to celebrate life more than ever, don’t we? I decided to start living my best quarantine life this week, which includes adding a bit of extra time to get fancy at the end...

#StayHome Loungewear Edit

Shopping

Well, we’re officially into week three of quarantine, and if you’re anything like me, you probably can’t remember the last time you wore actual clothing. My life consists of combing through my loungewear shelves and trying to come up with different pairings that feel cute and fresh, but still cozy. The one thing that has been bringing me joy is trying to wear as many colours and prints as I did during my life in the “outside world.” I treated myself with a few updated pieces when this all began, which has made all of the difference. I’ve included...

My 2020 London Travel Guide

Travel

London is my favourite city in the world, and one that I’ve been lucky to visit countless times in my life. Having gone often with my parents growing up, and then later doing school exchanges there as I got older, returning to London always feels a little bit like coming home. That being said, London is the city I always find changes the most in between visits. There is always a new restaurant, a cool pop-up, a lush floral installation, and a different trendy area! Each visit results in an inevitable reeducation to this amazing city and what to...

February 2020 Mood Board

Moodboards

I love creating monthly moodboards to act as vision boards, laying out the goals, aspirations, colour palettes, women & motifs that are inspiring me at the time. This month, I’m highlighting a lot of interiors, as I’m manifesting finding and designing the perfect home for us. I’ve also included reminders, like wearing daily SPF and eating delicious, healthful and nutritious food. Numerology is something I don’t follow intensely, but I do find occasional numbers reappearing often. Right now, ten is something I’m seeing frequently. Mantras, too… this month I am reminding myself often that “I am Deliberate and Afraid...

My 2020 New York Travel Guide

Travel

Every time I go to New York, I can’t help but post up a storm on IG Stories… there’s just so much to see and do. Inevitably, I get a million DM’s asking for my trip itinerary. I’m finally getting around to sharing every detail of what I consider to be the perfect itinerary for a long weekend in New York City, including where to stay, eat, shop and take photos! Fly If you’re flying from Toronto, I seriously recommend taking Porter Air. It’s a seamlessly easy way to travel, as I find getting to Pearson & going through...
