Yesterday morning, much to my chagrin, I was suddenly jolted into the realities of soon-coming Canadian winter by the first snowfall; scraping frost from the car windows, shoveling and salting the sidewalks, getting dressed in a spacesuit every time you go outside and the 24/7 bitter cold feeling. And while I could go on and …

I am Margot Tenenbaum
Halloween for me is usually a mix of stress, excitement and ultimately, procrastination. Its funny because in everyday life, I try to be the opposite of a procrastinator; if something needs to be done, I usually get down and do it simply to save myself the anxiety I’ll ultimately end up feeling at around 3-4 …
A Twist on Tie Dye
One of the coolest things about DIY-ing clothes is the ability it allows you to create your own unique, one of a kind items. No more the average thrifted or vintage item (or some random hand-me-down from you’re half brother’s cousin twice removed), but rather a unique, one of a kind item, adding a certain …
Painting my Clothes: The Kahlo Jumpsuit
As of late, I’ve come into a bit of an obsession with streetwear… one that my bank account has not thanked me for. I’m not sure if its the clothing pieces themselves that I’m addicted to, which range from chunky sneakers and oversized hoodies, to trousers and collared shirts, or the attitude that comes with …
Gucci and Croissants
It seems that since summer break has reached its halfway mark, more and more gorgeous and jealousy provoking vacation pics continue popping up on my instagram feed; extravagant architecture, oceans for miles and beachside markets – all of which I see in the “comfort” of my room (i.e. sitting in front of my desk-side fan …

The new season of stranger things was finally released this past 4th of July, and in addition to the amazing acting, the 80’s bops and the awesome settings (Starcourt mall meets Russian laboratory!?), I have been obsessed with this (and every season’s) fashion. The 80s was a time of bold prints, puffy hair, scrunchies and …
Low Rise Jeans are Coming Back (and i don’t know what to think)
For too long it seems, our belly buttons have relied on the high waisted jeans; that protective outer layer of denim, hiked to sit comfortably around (if not above) our natural waistlines, shielding from the cold and unforgiving outside world. But no longer – according to The Cut (as well as popular celebrity style), the …

My Favourite Summer Shoes
I have been something of a shoe fiend ever since my first pair of sparkly pink TOMS in the second grade. And after I watched my first episode of Sex and the City, and saw the entire world of shoes outside of my small town shoe store or Payless at the mall, I was hooked …
Thrift-Flip Prom Dress (featuring our friend, the iron)
For my prom this year, I decided that a $600 (or $800, or even $1000 – gasp) dress was not in the budget. I did the whole dress shopping thing, felt like a princess in front of the mirror and twirled around a few times. And then looked down at the price tag and realized …
