In the past few weeks, I’ve written about the basics of building a capsule wardrobe: from the what and whys of it to what it comprises of, it only seemed fitting that the final post in this series would be me sharing a bit of my own capsule wardrobe. I’ve omitted some things from this post…

As an overly enthusiastic makeup enthusiast, I spend what could only be described as a ridiculous amount of money on makeup and cosmetic products. Sephora* is basically my second home and whenever I visit, I have to actively restrain myself from going over my budget. Through my many many purchases, I have come out with…
I plowed a bit of earth one day, Which I had put lilies and wildflowers in galore. And my garden had a little white-washed fence, Which I re-painted annually My garden wasn’t a royal one, With its homey flowers, But what had I seen of Paris or Rome? So I thought it to be very regal.…
Let me ask you a question. When’s the last time you read something? You’re probably thinking wow, what a stupid question! Aren’t I reading this right now? So then, let me ask you this. When’s the last time you read a book just because. Not because it was assigned for a class, not because your…

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…
I was freaking out the day before day 1 of X-Fest 2016, and not just because I’d be seeing some of my favourite artists live. My first year attending the festival, 2014, was interesting to say the least. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun for the most part and I saw a lot of…
On September 5th, Queen fans around the world, myself included, celebrated the 70th birthday of the man who is without a doubt one of the greatest rockstars of all time. Despite his untimely death in 1991 at the age of 45, Freddie Mercury has left an indelible mark on the music world. He had a…
In Part 1, I discussed ways that I thought the Rio Olympics shed a negative light upon the games and went against what I feel is the fundamental spirit of the Olympics. Now, in Part 2, I will strive to answer the question, “What exactly is the Olympic Spirit? What sets the Olympics apart from…
ear Senior Me, If there was one person who fell into the “grade-11-is-the-hardest-year” trap, it was undoubtedly you.
