Last week, I wrote the first post in this short series on decluttering through the building of a capsule wardrobe by introducing the philosophy behind it. In the second installation of the series, I will be explaining exactly HOW to create your own. In order to reduce the clutter of your closet, it is important…
From the transition from Junior High to High School, I’ve changed so much and in so many aspects of my life. My attitudes and beliefs changed most of all, and that has in turn influenced the way I live my life, including my choices about fashion. Fashion has become so much more to me than just…
After a summer full of adventures and memories, what could serve as better icing on the cake than a week-long getaway from the city?

The Arts and Culture scene in Calgary is booming, so I’m lucky to have performed at and be involved with Arts Commons, the Jubilee Auditorium, and local festivals.

Goodbye flip flops and sweltering heat and hello sweater weather! If you can’t tell, fall is my favourite season, what with all the colourful leaves and pumpkin spice lattes, and hold up!
