If your pop is as difficult as mine to buy gifts for, then you'll appreciate this post of 20 great ideas for...

I think that face masks might be my very favourite skincare product. Not only do they pack a serious punch when it comes to intense hydration or deep cleaning, but I love that masks provide me with a nice little 10 minute sesh of 'me time'. 

This week, I'm on the hunt for a new face mask and I need your help. When you review a face mask from June 3 to 9, you will automatically...

My signature style is a little out of the box, some quirkiness thrown in, and I like to experiment too.

But now I must confess I've defected lately. I can't get enough of simple, clean lines and little to no embellishments. Black and white colour blocking with interesting cuts are taking place of my usual patterns and bold colours. 

This summer, I am all about the new minimalism

Fact: sloths are adorable. Additional facts: actually, you don't need to know anything else. 

Because sloths are oh-so-freakin-adorable, you should want to have them around you all the time, obviously. 

P.S. During my trip to Orlando, I touched a sloth and it. was. incredible.

Balenciaga? More like Balenciagattahaveit! 

So, I've fallen in love. And the object of my affection are these Balenciaga S/S 2013 rings.

Just because I should do something or something is good for me, doesn't mean I enjoy doing it. Let me make my discomfort and displeasure known. For instance: I've actually purchased entire outfits in order to avoid doing laundry. And I will find new ways to procrastinate just so I don't have to clean. However, nothing gets me cringing quite as much as exercising. It's The...

The summer in Toronto is hot and the humidity makes it so that you don't even want to leave your air conditioned house. Or, if you are like me and don't have air conditioning, you actually look forward to going to work so you can get a break from the non stop, intense heat. So, short shorts it is!

As someone who has been to their fair share of weddings, I have it on good authority that wedding favours usually bite the big one. 

Due to my Italian heritage, I've mostly been a guest at Italian weddings and therefore, I have a large collection of useless ceramic figurines. We call them "bombonieres". Does anyone really need a pastel coloured rose with their second cousin and her...

This is only the second time a lovely gentleman has been featured in our Yay or Nay. There was something just so... off about this ensemble, I felt like we had to discuss it.

The man of the week for this Yay or Nay is Bradley Cooper and he's sporting a coppertoned suit!

Say it's...
