where style meets strength
This past week a friend messaged me with a question that has plagued us all... "How does one get out of a fashion rut? I am without a doubt a jeans and t-shirt girl, with little ones it is easy to wear and easy to wash. But as of late i just feel boring and [...]
In light of the challenge I posted this week (See here, if you haven't read it), I decided to challenge myself by using this weekend's Mother's Day to let my Mom know how I truly feel about her. I often tell her that I love her at the end of a phone conversation but it's [...]
I rarely get my hair done. I always feel slightly bad when I see my stylist, her fabulous handi-work undone in the 6 months since she last saw me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the TLC, but being a Mom, it's hard to find 2 free hours to do the laundry let alone get [...]
I wish you could have seen what I wore in New York. The outfits I had prepared, carefully selected, rolled tenderly before being placed in my suitcase (because let's face it, you can fit WAY more in when you roll everything... plus, you avoid crease lines!) were amazing. I'm not kidding you. I was looking [...]
Being real is really hard. In this world of instant uploads, instant gratification, instant accessibility, we come to believe that we should be instantly successful, instantly fit, instantly and always perfect.

White is a scary color. White is my favorite color. If you're like me, you think twice about wearing white. Thoughts like, "Where will I be going today? Who will I be with? Is it raining? Will I be within 500 feet of children?" and "Is it worth it?!" are frequent and justifiable contemplations. But, [...]
There's this little thing that I like to call 'simple chic.' You know it. It's that girl you see walking across the street that makes you do a double take, because, come on. She's got it going on. The one who looks so effortlessly put together it kind of makes you want to throw up. [...]
Can I tell you something? I LOVE passionate people. There's something about a truly passionate person that is just so attractive. I'm not talking about people who re-post something on social media over and over about a certain issue (you know those people... the one's that you kind of want to block because they never [...]
If you live in central Canada, or any place that sees snow for more than 4 months of the year, then you know that inner feeling of spring. That feeling that lurks deep within you, trying to inch it's way out way before the weather permits. It's that feeling that whispers, "come on, wear [...]
And so here I am. Writing my first words, posting my first thoughts. And I don’t know where to start. So I’ll begin with me. I am a mother, a wife, sister, daughter, friend, a model and business owner but first and foremost I am a highly valued child of God. I love looking out [...]
