There have been times when I looked at items in my closet and thought: “what was I thinking?” Especially recently, when I took a really hard look at what was in my closet compared to my personal style. With every garment that got listed on Poshmark, thredUP or sent to donation, I could pinpoint exactly where I was and what I was thinking when I bought it. Usually, it went something like this: YES. THIS.
Because love is always a good excuse to get out of sweats, no?
In a time where dated fashion myths have been busted by individualistic influencers and style rules have long been forgotten, one fashion myth still remains: building a sustainable wardrobe is costly and requires a style sacrifice.

This year I’ve decided to share a sustainable gift guide, and I’ve divided it into different categories so you can find a thoughtful gift for everyone in your life.

But in my personal opinion, I think the best way to stick it to 2020 would be to inject some festivity into our lives by way of our closets. This season of staying home
I don’t know where it came from, but there is this idea that a sustainable wardrobe or conscious closet is expensive and hard to build when you’re on a budget. While I understand and appreciate that ethical and conscious brands have higher price points because they are reflecting the true costs of human labour and responsible textile sourcing and production, there is no rule book or slow fashion police telling you to fill your closet
Is it too early to talk about holiday reading? As far as I’m concerned, it’s never too early to start thinking about my next big chunk of time off – whether it’s at home or away. We normally spend this time of year in Canada with minimal travel, but what I look forward to most about any break from work is a robust reading list that I can dig into during long, lazy days. Because
Photography by: Gillian Foster Photography / Photos edited by: Boakviewphotography I often get asked about the best secondhand shopping spots in Toronto. Sadly, I don’t call Toronto my home but I visit often and have definitely popped into some of their incredible vintage, consignment and thrift stores. I usually go with my friend (and photographer!) Kat, who is probably one of the best secondhand shoppers I know. She’s a Toronto native, and her closet is
Learning how to shop your closet and recreate any outfit without shopping is not news if you’ve been around these parts for a while, which is why I’m so excited to share with you that I will be offering my very first LIVE Virtual Shop Your Closet Studio Session!
