I was in London last month and the biggest difference I noticed between here and there was STYLE (and I mean personal style as opposed to just being fashionable) but the biggest "take my breath away" difference was the men. Oh boy! My Best friend kept teasing me because as we walked through central … [Read more...]

Something to Smile About

I never expected when I started blogging that one day I would end up writing a post about toothpaste but here I am. When commercials come on tv spouting this or that about some amazing new improvement to an every day product I usually roll my eyes and fast forward the pvr. Then one day my husband … [Read more...]

What’s In My Everyday Make Up Bag

Make up bag

Hi Everyone! I'm Emily a 30-something new mom to an adorable five month old girl. I grew up in Canada (where I currently live) but I spent most of my twenties in London, England which massively influenced my sense of style and beauty.

When Hair = FAIL

Ok so this is more of a "what would you do" post than a review.

With less than a month to go in my pregnancy I seem to have stumbled into a season of bug bites, heat rash and general pregnancy growth that together combine to create the perfect storm of serious itchiness.

One of my biggest struggles since I've becoming pregnant has been trying to get enough sleep. (At this point I'm not even trying to get beauty sleep I'm just trying to get enough functional sleep so my brain works in the morning.) I also know that I need as much sleep as I can get because when the … [Read more...]

A Rose By Any Other Name

I'm not exactly sure what's been wrong with me this week but I seem to have a case of the blues. I have been feeling very sorry for myself and just can't seem to shake it. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and pulled out my all time favorite secret weapon for those times when things … [Read more...]

Hot Summer Accessories

ear-forever-21-coral2

There is nothing I love more (after shoes anyway) than accessories. I love how a few pieces can easily transform an outfit from drab to FAB in no time flat and nothing says "check her out" like coordinated extras. I love finding bold, interesting, colorful pieces which means that this summer's … [Read more...]

The sound of lawnmowers and the smell of grass are definitely harbingers of spring around these parts. I take great pleasure in shaking off the winter tights and boots and exposing my legs and toes to the world. As I mentioned before I also like lightening the load of my make up bag! One of my … [Read more...]
