I’ve never understood how cut offs can be over $100…luckily all you need to make them yourself for less is an old pair of jeans and some sharp scissors. I’d recommend Value Village for a good selection of affordable second hand denim. Go with something a little bit roomy in the hip and leg area for […]
Read more "how to make the perfect denim cut offs"As soon as retailers begin getting in their fall merchandise and blowing out the warm weather clothes, I realize my favourite season is already halfway done.

Read more "pre fall "Although there is no denying I like the finer things in life, some of the staple pieces in my closet are surprisingly not ones I had to save for.

Read more "how to get your money’s worth with fast fashion"I just did a little closet clear-out, so yesterday I donated a bunch of clothes and took the cream of the crop to Front and Company to consign.

Read more "comfort zone"For the past year and a half, I have had a predominantly black dress code at work. Prior to that grey was my ride or die, but not being able to wear it at my job brought things to a stand still.

Read more "sleek and sophisticated basics"The calendar is telling me it’s summer, but I’m having a hard time believing it with the excess of crummy weather we’ve been having. When the sun finally came out, luckily I was right by the water and able to enjoy it. Vancouver really is a beautiful city and I try to take a moment […]
Read more "some kind of summer "I’m probably the last fashion blogger on earth to score these kicks, but I was patiently waiting until my old sneakers moved from fashionable to sloppy before I could justify another pair.
