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. This year it even seems like summer is over before it started, but that does mean a killer set of pre-fall outfits to enjoy. The silk slip dress will […]
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. There are expensive things (like this vintage Chanel) which I bought planning to keep forever, but the longevity and quality of a few pieces I have […]
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.

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.
