Is animal print the new basic? I think so!  I cannot get enough of snakeskin or leopard print items, it's honestly safe to say I am obsessed with them. The snakeskin print goes well with every colour, it can be dressed up or down, and has a place in every wardrobe. I love pairing one printed item with all black or neutrals colours, I feel like it really makes the print pop!  This bodysuit is from Guess (it's no longer on their site so I can't link it), pants are from Dynamite and my booties are from my fave JustFab. 

Could I BE anymore comfortable? Meet my fave 90's menswear inspire sweater, I call it the Chandler Bing sweater.  This navy pullover is super comfortable and oversized, but the cropped bottom helps give it a more feminine feel. ⁣This is one of my go-to outfits when I need to be comfortable, but I want to look a bit put together.  ⁣ Does anyone else love menswear inspired fashion? I just adore it, especially if it’s a little bit retro. ⁣

A little note on body positivity... ⁣ ⁣ I've struggled for the past 10 years to accept my body for the way it is, and this makes taking outfit pictures incredibly difficult for me. The day I took this picture I was taking outfit photos for the week, using my self timer... and when I went to look at the photos every time I prepared myself for them to look “ugly”. ⁣ ⁣ I thought I would look too fat, too pale, to this or too that. And naturally when I first look at the photos I hated them all for one reason or another. ⁣ ⁣ And then I took a step back. ⁣ ⁣ If I was expecting a negative result, of course I’d have a negative reaction to absolutely every photo. ⁣ ⁣ So I had to actively work on my mindset for the rest of the day, and while it’s a difficult exercise at first it’s really important. Appreciating yourself is necessary, putting yourself down is not. ⁣ ⁣ So here’s one of the photos that was too this or that. ⁣ ⁣ I love it. ⁣

If you know me, you know how much I love country anything. Country music, country decor and country style outfits just make my heart sing. While my daily footwear has long been an updated take on the cowboy boot, I've been introducing more country chic dresses into my wardrobe. This crochet trim dress from Just Fab is one of my latest purchases. The crochet trim detail around the waist creates a super flattering shape, and bring such a nice feminine touch. The clay pot colour enhances my skin tone both when I am tan and pale – which is a huge win in my book! I know many people are not fans of orange, but I am a fan!  Links (These are not affiliate links):  Dress: Click here Boots: Click here

Hello everyone! Ever buy slightly unripened bananas and the next day they are already overly ripe? Want to go from overly ripe bananas to beautiful, yummy banana bread in only one hour? If you answered yes to one or both of those questions, then this recipe may be for you! (Okay, maybe there were a few days in between the unripe and ripe bananas) This recipe is simple, quick and quite inexpensive. I went to the store and added up the cost of all of the ingredients, and the total came to around $16. Not too high a price, especially if you are going to use the loaf for a potluck or for a yummy homemade Christmas gift. RECIPE: INGREDIENTS: 3 very ripe bananas 3/4 cup of granulated sugar 1 egg 1 tsp of vanilla extract (or hazelnut extract) 1/4 cup of canola/vegetable oil 1 1/3 cup of flour 1 tsp of baking powder 1/2 tsp of baking soda 1/2  tbs of cinnamon (or 1 tbs if you really like cinnamon, or for the fall when you want some more spice) pinch of nutmeg pin

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if

Fall is one of my favourite seasons to play with makeup! You're no longer dealing with the humidity, sweat on your face, with makeup melting off of it no matter how much powder you use. Matte foundations become your best friend again, you break out those old dark lipsticks and get to finally unleash your inner Morticia.  I thought that I would breakdown some of my favourite drugstore makeup products to use in the Fall:  Foundation: L' Oreal Lumi Foundation in 203. ⁣ ⁣ Concealer: Maybelline Eye Eraser Concealer ⁣ ⁣ Powder: Maybelline Fit Me Loose Powder in 10⁣ ⁣ Bronzer and Crease shade: NYX Bronzer in Medium ⁣ ⁣ Blush: Milani Tea Rose ⁣ Highlight and eyeshadow: Maybelline Molten Rose Gold Highlight⁣ ⁣ Eyeliner: L'Oreal Liquid Eyeliner ⁣ ⁣ Mascara: Maybelline Colossal Big Shot Mascara ⁣ ⁣ Lip liner: Rimmel Tiramisu Lipstick: L'Oreal Shining Peach  ⁣ ⁣ Setting Spray: NYX Matte Setting Spray ⁣

I've been loving knit sweater and pencil skirts this fall, and one of my favourites is this sweater from Garage. This cable knit sweater is so comfy, easy to wash, and looks so elegant with a pencil skirt. If you want to dress it down you could also wear with blue jeans are a pair of nice leggings.  It's easily the first item I grab when packing for a casual work event or a weekend trip.  Shop the look: Sweater: Click Here Skirt: Click Here Hat: Kittenish - Jess
