Random Favourites

If you guys have been following me for a while then you may remember I used to do monthly must haves. Some of you may noticed I just kind of stopped doing them, some of you may have not noticed at all. Anyways, I stopped doing them basically because at the end of some months I was almost scrambling to find some to talk about. It didn’t feel natural and almost became a forced thing and that is NOT what I wanted it to be. When I share my favourites that is exactly what I want them to be… MY FAVOURITE.

With that being said, it has been over a year since my last favourites post and I have come to love quite a few things over the past little while. So, I figured I would share them with you via a video!

So, grab a coffee, tea, glass of wine, or pint of beer… whatever tickles your fancy and let me tell you about some of my favourites!

Ps. How cute is my top?! I got it from Express when I was in Edmonton visiting my sister and I just LOVE it! Here is the link!

Candle {42} || Book {21} || Lululemon Align Pants {98} || Evo Hair Mask c/o Evo {31} || Evo Styling Spray c/o Evo {43} || Million Dollar Tan Face & Body {102} c/o Million Dollar Tan Canada || Blush c/o Sigma {19} || Concealer {31}

Your turn! Tell me about some of your favourites!

5 Things You Need to Pull Off Cozy Chic

Holly — Sun, 08 Jan 2017 03:04:31 +0000

I’m Canadian so I’m no rookie when it comes to staying cozy while still managing to look cute. It’s all about layers and investing in key pieces you’ll wear year after year.

Here is one of my favourite examples of making cozy look cute. Now, if only I could go back and tell my 16 year old self this- I vividly remember insisting on wearing only a zip up sweater when it was minus a million degrees. No toque, no mitts, and definitely no parka. What the HECK was I thinking… le sigh*

Obviously this outfit is not for the -40 days we have been having lately… a parka is the only way to survive those. But for the average winter day, this look is perfect!

So, here are five things I believe all humans who have to deal with winter need:

1.) A cute beanie or as we Canadians call them… a toque. Not only will it keep you warm, it’s also great for when you’re too lazy to wash your hair!

2.) A vest- this one is my favourite and is on sale! Most often vests can provide a whole lot of warmth without having to wear the actual parka. It’s a nice alternative especially if you’re running errands and are in and out of the cold.

3.) Warm mittens. Protect those nails from harsh weather. According to Chia from the blog Just Peachy, cold weather is terrible for those mani’s!

4.) Boots because snow… lots of snow.

5.) A parka. For those days when it’s -40, you’re a teacher and you have supervision, or if you simply just want to be cozy AF.

Keep warms and look cute ladies!

Four Booties Every Girl Needs In Their Closet

Holly — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 17:12:31 +0000

You may be wondering why I’m talking about booties after talking about starting to incorporate spring elements into my looks in my last post. Well, now is the perfect time to start thinking about next winter… I know, I know, we haven’t even made it through this winter! But seriously, everything is on sale… you’d be crazy not to take advantage of it! Buying out of season is an age old trick that is perfect for people on a budget or people who just like to be responsible with their money and get the best bang for their buck.

Because sale season is upon us, I thought it would be the perfect time to share what I think are four booties every girl needs in their closet! I have done some research and found a bunch of booties, in each of the categories below, that are ALL on sale!

1.) Dress Bootie: Perfect to pair with a pencil skirt, dress, or even leggings. I find booties are typically more comfortable than stilettos, and I much prefer the look in winter when you are often wearing tights! A great wedge or pump bootie are always a great addition to any winter look.

I love these, these, and these!

2.) Western Bootie: I just got a new pair and I forgot how versatile they can be! These booties are also just as awesome in spring, summer and fall, as they are in the winter. Pair them with a floral dress, denim cut offs, or anything plaid for an effortless cute look! Also, how can you go to a festival without western boots?! I am totally in love with this Sam Edelman Louie pair that I got from Cade Style Lounge… how cute is the fringe!?

Some that are currently on sale: these and these… seriously cute, right?!

3.) Black Bootie: Heel or no heel a black leather bootie is a must. I got an amazing pair from All Saints when I was in Vegas last month and I have been wearing them non stop. The black bootie is a classic that will never go out of style!

How great are these, these, these, and these!?

4.) Brown Suede Bootie: Is there anything better than a good neutral suede bootie? I think not! They can be worn casually with nearly anything but can also be dressed up with the right outfit.

Some that are catching my eye are these, these, these, and these!

I know it’s that time of year when we’re wanting to shop for spring pieces but save some money and take advantage of the amazing sales right now, you will thank me next October!

Tell me about your favourite booties!
