Last year, my uber talented baby brother took us on a road trip to the Canadian Rockies to shoot our maternity photos. When your siblings are talented AF, you capitalize on that shiet! Since before I was even remotely pregnant, I dreamed of doing a photo shoot in the Rockies. You know…in all my pregnancy glow and earthy motherly aura, […]
Updated: August 24, 2021 Ah, Le Diner en Blanc. One of the chicest, visually spectacular, and most exclusive events of the year! Chic high couture fashion, creative tablescapes, alfresco dining under the stars…all limited to a white pallet!? Count me IN! The Calgary event is right around the corner. There is A LOT of information to take in, and a […]
Today’s closet confidence challenge was to build a wearable version of a look I find on Pinterest. My sister had the family over for brunch today and I thought it the perfect opportunity to wear the outfit I have been planning for this challenge. The Inspiration Through hours of browsing, I came across Elie Saab’s Fall/Winter 2016 Haute Couture collection […]
Today’s Closet Confidence Challenge is to wear something that supposedly doesn’t flatter my body type. I actually had no idea what my body type was and probably spent the equivalent of 24 hours over the past week researching body types. It is all so confusing and I STILL don’t fit perfectly into a shape. I have landed on the fact that […]
Today’s challenges have me brainstorming 3 ways to upgrade my everyday look and styling basics 2 ways. I think I’ve mentioned before that I consider myself basic and boring in terms of fashion. By no means am I fashionable, nor do I aspire to be. I just want to find my own self, confidence and comfort through this Closet Confidence […]
Once upon a time, I was commuting home from the office on public transit. There are never a lack of interesting characters to interact with when I take public transit. For those who know me personally, I generally keep to myself and am not super warm, open and friendly when you meet me for the first time. Even less so […]
…style starts with personal confidence. When you have that, you can basically wear whatever the hell you want. The 9th assignment in this Closet Confidence challenge has me writing about my style evolution from childhood to today. First Time Expressing Style I recall VERY vividly the first time I cared about what I was wearing. In kindergarten, it was time […]
As I attempt to explore and discover my personal style, sometimes it seems easier to start by determining things that are NOT my style. However, as I sit and give this list some thought, I’ve only come up with one item so far: ripped denim. I’m generally pretty opinionated about what I like or don’t like, so I felt it really unlikely […]
Fall is here in the YYC! A little too early for my liking, and a piece of me died inside once the cold front hit. What can you do, though, that’s Calgary, Canada for you! Today’s Closet Confidence challenge produced a lot of gut busting laughs! The challenge was to wear something that’s commonly considered a fashion no-go. I didn’t […]
My sister and I were blessed to have the opportunity to attend the Nick Jonas / Demi Lovato Future Now concert this past weekend. Seeing Demi perform live, I have such mad respect for her! Amazing voice. She opened up with “Confident” and I thought the lyrics in the hook would be the perfect title for this post. I’ve been […]
