Sustainable Gift Guide 2020

December 9, 2020

photos by: boakviewphotography.com I can’t believe it’s already the holiday season! 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. Most of these gift ideas are small but impactful, and I’ve chosen small to medium conscious brands that are doing good things for the planet. In all honesty, I’m not the biggest fan of gift

My Secret to a Festive Holiday Capsule Wardrobe

November 30, 2020

photos by: boakviewphotography.com At the time I’m writing this post, it’s still unclear whether we’ll be able to see family and friends for the holidays. Without the social occasions of holiday parties, getting dressed for the holidays might seem completely irrelevant. 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

How to Build a Sustainable Wardrobe on a Budget

November 23, 2020

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.

Fantastic Books By BIPOC Authors for Holiday Reading

November 16, 2020

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

These Are The Best Places To Shop Secondhand in Toronto

November 10, 2020

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

How to Change Your Style From Classic Minimal to Romantic WITHOUT SHOPPING

October 28, 2020

Have you ever wanted to change your style? Or are you one of those people that is a fashion and style chameleon – where one day you feel like channeling a cool minimalist London girl and the next a romantic and cheeky one? I think a lot of us dress according to our mood, and brands do a GREAT job of merchandising and creating a certain mood or aesthetic – making us want to buy

My Favourite Fall Capsule Items

October 20, 2020

https://youtu.be/juO04jJuZxg I’m not typically one for capsule wardrobes, but I love the idea of choosing your key items per season and building outfits around them. I guess that sounds a lot like a capsule wardrobe but to me there is more flexibility in this practice, especially if you have a larger closet and want to increase the rotation of certain pieces over different seasons. The idea for this came from Mademoiselle Jamie, who did a

5 Multi-Tasking Slow Fashion Picks for Fall
