The past few weeks have been busy with holiday previews and sometimes, I don’t have the time to make dinner in the afternoon. Though I don’t generally make slow cooked recipes in the summer, I thought this one, adapted from a recipe I found online, was worth a try. This didn’t take long to put […]

Recently, I received an email from Yorkdale’s PR announcing that supermodel, Coco Rocha, will once again be the “spokesmodel” for the mall. The model, who is known to be very active on social media, was born in Toronto, but grew up in British Columbia. While it’s great that Yorkdale chose someone born in the city, […]
This week, Independent Fashion Bloggers asked us to write about fall boots.

Though not cool enough for boots just […]

As promised on Instagram, I am reviewing Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Lust for Lacquer lip vinyl. These glosses come in sheer and “full,” with six shades each, in reds, pinks, browns and purples. I was nervous about the fuller shades as I really don’t like bold colours on my lips. However, because of the glossy nature […]
On Sunday, several of Toronto’s top bloggers, including Backseat Stylers, The Souls of My Shoes and Style Blog participated in the #bloggerbazaarto at at the back of Monica Mei’s AIME boutique. Items ranged from bags to clothing and shoes (and from budget-friendly brands like Joe Fresh to premium lines like Erdem and Christian Louboutin), all […]
A girl can never have too much black (or lip gloss), in my opinion. And that has definitely been the case, historically speaking, when you take a peek into my closet. Though over the past year or so, I’ve been adding more colour, many of my favourites, especially in cooler months, have been black. On […]
I just realized that I’ve been wearing make-up for over 20 years and have noticed how much drugstore make-up has changed over the past two decades. When I first started wearing make-up, drugstores like Shoppers Drug Mart carried the classics – CoverGirl, Maybelline, Revlon and every tween/teen’s favourite, Bonne Bell. It was a dream for […]
As I say each year, the day the Ex (CNE/Canadian National Exhibition) opens is the day summer starts to end. With just two weeks until Labour Day weekend, and a summer that was less than summer-like (at least in Toronto), where has the time gone?
