Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith all the foodie talk I do, it shouldn't be a surprise that I love delicious food. Because food and I are so tight, I eat out a lot. It's a fun adventure for me! I love trying new things and there is nothing more satisfying for me than checking off a restaurant on my 'To Try' list. The only problem with this is that it can get pretty pricey.
It occurred to me that if I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIn her Spring/Summer 2013 runway show, Stella McCartney sent her models down the catwalk with a jade green eyeliner on their lower waterline and we couldn't stop staring! The look is fresh and modern yet still wearable. We're also loving jade as an alternative to the trendy mint that we saw last spring.
Having this pop of colour really draws the focus to the eyes and makes...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basObviously we love to play around with makeup. It's so much fun creating new looks and experimenting with colours and products. But when you're finished playing, you can have a few layers of product on your face and you're probably going to want to take it all off. A good eye makeup remover is essential to a skincare routine. You want to get rid of any dirt and oil so you keep your face...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love vintage clothing and am a known thrifter, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Mad Men is one of my favourite shows. With so many shots of beautiful and well made vintage styles, that show is a feast for the eyes!
One of my favourite characters is Betty, played by the gorgeous January Jones. January has impeccable style and grace so I was surprised to see her take such a wrong...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThe Internet is a wonderful place, is it not? I love it. One of my favourite sites is, of course, YouTube. Nora wrote a great article a while back on all the things she's learned via YouTube and it comes to mind whenever I stumble upon some amazing new factoid via the web. When Halloween rolls around, YouTube becomes my go-to place for ideas and tutorials. If you do a bit of digging,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhat would fall be without the pumpkin? For one thing, it's an integral part of the epic meal that is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving wouldn't be right without pumpkin pie. Pumpkins also happen to be a part of one of my favourite holidays: Halloween! Plus, would Halloween even have the same effect if Jack O' Lanterns didn't exist? Because the pumpkin is such a huge part of the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhat's better than scaring yourself silly and eating huge amounts of candy? Nothing. However, when you get past the age of about 13, apparently it's no longer "cool" to come to work or school dressed in costume for Halloween.
Ugh. Grown ups, right?
Though it's tempting to show up to work all decked out in your best zombie costume, it may not be appropriate. While you...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas(image via mywedding.com) I recently dipped my toe into the uncertain waters of online dating, so far with mixed results. After exhaustive debriefing and overanalysis with close friends, I've come to realize just how common my experiences have been.
In fact, I'm going to make some sweeping generalizations about the 5 frogs you'll date before you finally kiss your prince. ...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basAs the wind is getting a little nippy these days, I did a recent 'back of the closet' haul to take out all of my stored away, big bulky sweaters. Of course, every year there are always one or two sweaters that as I pull out, I think to myself, 'yup, this one has seen better days'. Whether it's simply worn out, has a few too many holes orhas an ugly run in the thread, it's...
