ALL ABOUT THAT BLACK SHIFT DRESS

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! I have teamed up with Tobi to bring you the most PERFECT, most COMFORTABLE little black dress ever! This is the All About That Black Shift Dress and I am completely obsessed with it! In the summer time, my favourite thing to wear are dresses, it is so easy to throw on a dress for a simple, showtopper look! This dress can be dressed casually or dressed up and the detailing on it is so flattering! This cotton trendy shift dress features a corset lace up detail that accentuates your waist so nicely - definitely my favourite part of the dress! You can pair this dress with sneaks to dress it down or with heels to complete the look. I paired this dress with ... read more

25 LIFE LESSONS IN 25 YEARS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Hi everyone! Yesterday was my 25th birthday and I wanted to share some lessons that I have learned throughout my life so far. 1. Change is always possible - anywhere and anytime. 2. Don't compare yourself and/or your life to others - You have no idea what their journey is all about. 3. Don't be so hard on yourself. 4. You need to learn how to say no. 5. Stop trying to please everyone - Not everyone is going to like you; not everyone is gong to put in half as much effort in as you do and that's ok! Accept it and move on. 6. Learn from your heartaches - It’s okay to be sad and miss that person every now and again, but it will get better, and you will find that ... read more

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATA HARPER!

Hi everyone! In honour of Tata Harper's BIRTHDAY, I thought I'd share some of my favourite products from their line! I have been using Tata Harper products for the last few months and I am really enjoying them so far. I started off using The Luminous Glow Collection which includes: 0.5 oz/ 15 mL Regenerating Cleanser 0.25 oz/ 7.5 mL Resurfacing Mask 0.1 oz/ 3 mL Illuminating Eye Cream 0.3 oz/ 10 mL Illuminating Moisturizer I enjoyed the Regenerating Cleanser and Resurfacing Mask, but not so much the Illuminating Eye Cream and Moisturizer. I found the illuminating products didn't do much for my skin and I didn't like how it felt - it seemed as though it didn't absorb into the ... read more

WEDDING CREATIVE SESSION

Hi everyone! I have a very special post to share with you all today. My fiancé and I had the opportunity to be a part of a creative wedding style photoshoot this past Tuesday and it was AMAZING! The purpose of this creative wedding session was to represent the story of Olivia and Ryan's wedding (full story is down below). The photos taken are going to be used for sharing on wedding vendors blogs and social media sites as a way to help newly engaged couples think differently about creating their own weddings. The session was held at the Westover Inn in St. Mary's (near Stratford) - the most beautiful location if you love greenery!  *** FYI: These are not our ... read more

WEDDING PLANNING TO-DO LIST

Hi everyone! It is crazy to think that I have been engaged for 6 months now and my wedding is a year and a half away... or as I like to think of it, 18 months away! The moment after I got engaged I thought to myself... now I have to plan a wedding?! Getting engaged is exciting but I was soon overwhelmed and had so many questions and thoughts started to fill my mind. Everyone around me started to ask questions about things I haven't even thought about or even wanted to think about yet. It was a lot and it all came at once. I soon realized that as much as I wanted to enjoy the moment, there were some things that needed to be decided and booked sooner rather than later. With all ... read more

SUDIO SWEDEN: VASA BLA ROSE GOLD

Hi everyone! For the longest time, I have been looking for bluetooth earphones that I could pair up with my phone, laptop and tablet. I am SO excited to share that I have found the most perfect earphones of all time - The Vasa Blå in Rose Gold White!

They even come with a cute little leather case you can use to store your earphones - which makes it so much ... read more

4 HABITS OF OVERTHINKERS

Hi everyone! I feel like I haven't written a post in so long so I thought I'd share something a little more personal with you today. Do you ever find yourself drowning in your own illogical thoughts? I'm guilty of this... sometimes more often than I'd like to admit. Over-thinking can lead to stress, fear, anxiety, depression, broken relationships and misery. Our fantasy in our head becomes our reality and we can't stop it. Here are 4 habits of over-thinkers and how to combat those habits. 1. Over-thinkers usually assume the worst It's amazing how quickly the mind can take over. In the absence of information, we jump to the worst conclusions. I'm not saying all of us are like ... read more

COMM-CI LEGGINGS

Hi everyone! I am currently obsessed with my new high waisted black leggings from Comm-ci! They sent me a pair to review and I am absolutely LOVING them! They came in a cute little pouch, surer cute! They fit so well and they have a nice slimming effect... and honestly, who doesn't love that?!?! I love high waisted everything, so the fact that these leggings are high waisted is perfect because it offers extra support and I feel like it elongates the legs a little bit. I love wearing black leggings with most of my outfits, whether it is with a baggy sweater or a nice long blouse. These leggings are seriously perfect, my favourites! I got the BLACK HIGH WAIST SKINNY in a size ... read more

MY FIRST YEAR AS A BLOGGER

Hi everyone! Can you believe I have been blogging for a year now?!?? I finally decided to start blogging last year in January. I can honestly say, I don't regret it for a second and I am so glad I went for it! Not only have I enjoyed the experience of blogging, but I have learned so much, worked with some great companies, started a VLOG channel and even reached 14.6k+ Instagram followers! For years, I dreamt of starting my own Youtube channel, to sing covers and to start my own blog... if only I had started as soon as I gained an interest for it - that is one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made and I wish I went for it sooner. All things take time and effort, but NOTHING IS ... read more
