In case you haven’t noticed pink is one of my favourite colours. I don’t consider myself super girly… but I just like pink! Shot this look down near Sugar Beach in Toronto, close to where we tape our radio show.

Is it button down or button up? My husband and I have this debate all the time lol. What’s your take? Any way what I know for sure is that I’m loving this trend. Recently got a “button down” brown fitted dress from H&M and I can’t wait to wear it again!

For two reasons. I hate the mousey, grey skin look that I get after using most sunscreens. Black and brown toned people know what I’m talking about. I’m not trying to look like a jumbie!  Also I always hesitate putting sunscreen on my face for fear of having a break-out.

Spring Plaid Looks

June 6, 2018

Tartans and plaids are very big for fall, but it’s also quite a spring trend. This SMYTHE blazer is an easy way to infuse some plaid into your Spring wardrobe. I paired it with jeans, but I can definitely see this blazer with a tank and denim shorts. Or perhaps even over my ivory sheath dress.

Makes me feel like a queen when I wear it! Sharing a few more views of this dress and details below on how to get it!
