It's just that beautiful. The collection was inspired by the story of The Secret Garden and it totally comes through in the romantic, feminine fabrics and shapes. The...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNormally, we like to dissect a beauty look from one lovely lady every month and talk about what makes her at superstar level. This month, I was inspired not only by a specific gal's beauty, but also her style. Chicks, this lady has got game. You may recognize Ms. Ashley Madekwe from the show Revenge. She's a British bird with gorge eyebrows and a heck of a closet. In fact, she even has a fabulous

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI don't want to be a downer or anything but, uh, November kind of blows. It's cold. It's dark like all the time and here at CA HQ, Christmas is still sooo far away. Also, we've already eaten all our Thanksgiving leftovers and we've overdosed on our Halloween candy. To get us in a good mood, we think it's time for a pick me up. We're thinking some quality 'me' time, a warm cup of tea and a good...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basOne of things you may not know about me is that I have the world's ugliest feet. I really do. I hate wearing socks and in my infinite wisdom, I tend to buy the most impractical, uncomfortable, cheap shoes ever and as such my feet have developed a nice leathery feel to them. My heels have this great, hardened quality that just begs to be shown off in sandals. Ladies: I can rest assured that I will...

If I learned one truth during the recent cooking class we hosted with Dairy Farmers of Canada, it's that Cheese Makes Everything Better. Fresh crusty bread may be good on its own, but add a nice Canadian Camembert and--hot damn! Now we're talkin'.
In fact, all of the recipes we learned during the class were simple, straightforward dishes that got a major flavour and excitement injection...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basY'all know here at CA we have a penchant for selfies and #'ing it up, but those aren't the only reasons we joined the InstaNation. Besides being able to snap super fun shots and share them with you, we also love us some InstaCreepin'.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSigh. Celebrities do it better. Whether it's vacations (private jets, sunny island getaways and boats), fabulous party friends (BFF Cara D and Rihanna) or clothes (custom made designer duds), they seem to take it all to an extreme (and p.s. I am totally not jealous). They even take it to the next level when it comes to Halloween.
There were a few celebs in particular that knocked it out of...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basTrick or treat! You chicks know I love me some candy, I have a huge sweet tooth and I'm not ashamed. Of course, the downside of candy is all that sugary sweetness catches up to you. My dentist is so unimpressed with me right now. Inspired by my love for all that colourful candy and a need to cut down my sugar intake for Halloween, I found 6 beauty goodies that are almost sweet enough to eat! So...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI've never been a hat person. I think they make my face look wide and potato-like. But the other day, I saw a chick on the subway with the most adorable beanie and I was like, 'CAN I HAVE THAT?'. She looked super chic and fashion forward but with the beanie on she kept it casual too. They're the final, edgy touch to an outfit that marries formal attire to street style. Even...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis summer, I was obsessed with big, bulky carry all bags to tote around my massive amount of junk. I mean, just take a look at the crazy pile of lip products I carry with me on a regular basis. However, I guess there's something in the water over here or maybe it's just the season change affecting me, but lately I cannot get enough of mini, teeny tiny baby bags! SO CUTE. I take just the...
