Take a deep breath and try not to squeal: Barbie is stepping out in the iconic HBC stripes this fall! Launching online and in stores on October 5, Barbie will retail for $59.99. We’re a bit Canadiana-obsessed, especially when it comes to HBC, and I’ve got a major soft spot for Barbie so it should […]
Toronto is clinging to summer in a serious way – hello, 40-degree days + crazy humidity! – but I’m craving crisp, cool air and cozy cashmere sweaters. It’s happened slowly, but I can feel the fall nesting kicking in. If you’re also cozying up and hunkering down for the best season, here are 5 items […]
One of my favourite pastimes is heading to one of my favourite HomeSense locations for a quick peruse. OK, who am I kidding…it’s usually at least an hourlong trip. Especially if I make it to Laird or Vaughan Mills. But I digress… My reward for a weekend full of organizing and cleaning: this big, beautiful […]
Can you believe the last long weekend of the summer is almost here? Summer has slipped by and, other than the weeks-long heatwaves, almost feels like it never happened at all. I’ve been digging into my bookshelf like crazy all summer long, re-connecting with one of my favourite pastimes. If you want to spend a […]

With that said…I’m really ready for fall. Sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, cool weather…come at me! No visit to the CNE is complete without hunting […]
Let’s talk about brows. Ever since I weaned myself off the tragic pencil-thin brow life (thank you, 90’s/’00s), I’ve felt pretty good about my brows. They’re an okay shape, I maintain them myself and they’re basically middle-of-the-road. And then someone filled them in and I realized how much a great brow can really transform your […]
After this past weekend, I have a serious case of the Mondays! We did a double-header of pool nights with Eric & Amanda on Thursday and Friday and we maybe-probably stayed out until 2 AM playing Pokemon Go. It was my first experience seeing people randomly show up a location and rush towards a Pokemon […]
Sometimes a dessert just changes you. You have it once and suddenly you crave it at the strangest of times. Nothing else compares. That’s how I wound up making this craving-worthy cake for a little pool party we hosted a few weeks back. I first had it last summer when my cousin Sara made it for […]
