We got a chance to attend a Fashion show last week during Toronto Fashion Week 2013 and loved Toronto-based designer, Ryan Joelson's 2013 Spring collection. His collection was fresh, exciting and luxurious. What was especially unique was his wonderful ability to make tulle look punk-rock, yet still feminine. Here are a few pictures from the runway. … [Read more...]
Breaking Rules
March 18, 2013 By Leave a Comment
There are many women who are naturally rebellious and constant rule-breakers, there are also those who break them occasionally, and then there are those who never break them at all. Breaking rules can be fun, and at times, completely necessary. It's important to know when to follow your instincts and to do what's best for you when you're not hurting anyone else, even if that does mean ruffling a few feathers when breaking other people's rules. Was there ever a time when you broke the rules … [Read more...]
Just Because…

For this week's Just Because series, we've focused on some pieces of jewellery that we love. We've sometimes been afraid of piling on too much jewellery and having a cluttered and confused look, so we both often opt for wearing pieces that are simple but pretty nonetheless. Have a great weekend! … [Read more...]

There are only so many times a person can have toast and eggs for breakfast. Many people often lack the time and the energy it takes to come up with new ideas for a healthy and quick breakfast, so I wanted to share with you what I've recently found to be an amazing breakfast food that is so good for you, tastes good and is really quick to make. I came across Joy McCarthy's recipe from Joyous Health, and have been experimenting with a few of her recipes and have not been disappointed with any … [Read more...]
Tell the Truth

This quote reminds us of William Goldman's book, Which Lie Did I Tell? More Adventures in the Screen Trade. The title of his book is taken from a comment made by a certain Hollywood producer who had told so many lies, that he didn't know which of his lies he had told, never mind whether he had lied or not, at least that's what Goldman mentioned at an industry talk. It's always a good idea to tell the truth. Mark Twain said so. … [Read more...]
Make-Up Table

I've mentioned on this blog before how much I love make-up, so in today's post, I'm showing you my make-up table, so you can see for yourselves how this is true. I was feeling overwhelmed by how my make-up was organized (or disorganized), so I bought some Martha Stewart trays, and used them to divide and store my make-up within the drawers. After my latest MAC splurge, it's been really helpful to have these organized in this way. {I try to compartmentalize my make-up as much as possible, … [Read more...]

It's mid-winter break (and it's March Break here) and that means that many people will be heading south this week. We won't be visiting a beach this coming week, but here are some pictures from a previous vacation we took to Cuba. For anyone who doesn't know, Canadians flock to Cuba the way Americans flock to Hawaii. {A typical Cuban car} {La Campana Restaurant nestled in Parque Josone in the town of Varadero, where local families make up the bulk of the clientele.} {Varadero … [Read more...]
La Prairie

{La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream}{Source} The sad truth is that not all eye creams are equal. And you can’t really use your regular face cream on your eye area and expect great results because that area is so sensitive and fragile that it needs its own moisturizer. When we skip out on using eye cream, we notice, and probably so do other people because the skin around and below our eyes gets dry and tired. We’ve tried so many creams, and we've found one that we both really like. … [Read more...]
