where style meets strength
One of the most anxiety-ridden shopping excursions for women, might just be finding the dreaded bathing suit. Did your heart rate just speed up? TULUM Beach, Mexico Finding a piece of material that will not only hug you in all the right places while simultaneously and seemingly eliminating all the WRONG places, the perfect color, [...]
It's been awhile. Where has the time gone? I've been asked more than a handful of times over the last few months when I was planning on posting my next post, and I never knew how to answer. It wasn't that I didn't have material. Lord knows, I have a list of ideas, but.... this [...]
As I sit here in the warm Hawaiian sun, it's hard to think of life anywhere else. The warm ocean breeze, gorgeous sunsets, early mornings, early evenings and laid back lifestyle would make any Manitoban (especially me) wonder why they live anywhere else. Yet, when you live in a bathing suit, how do you change [...]
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 [...]
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.

I'm not kidding you. I was looking [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
