Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basLast week, Miranda showed off some of her summer style and the week before, I posed off in my own casual weekend fashion. This week, we're tossing it up a bit with a summer makeup lookbook! I wanted to give you a taste of what I would wear on an everyday basis during the summer months and also show you how I put to use some of the beauty practices we've been chatting about lately.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love cooking, but it's also kind of a stressful task. With just a slip up here and a misread ingredient there, you can suddenly find yourself with a dish that not even the dog will eat.
That's where these nifty little 'kitchen hacks' come in handy. They're tips and tricks that can help save you time, money and generally make your life easier.

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI've always been a fan of Zara but lately, it's like I've become a superfan or something. I just can't get enough of them. They came out with some gorgeous, extremely covetable items this spring/summer but the pieces I found to be most drool worthy were their shoes. Whether it's a colour blocked heel, a chunky wedge or a platformed sandal, Zara nailed the spring/summer...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFor the Canadian chicks out there: Happy Canada Day! It's time to sit back, chillax and take in the view from your Muskoka chair. For the U.S. chicks out there: Happy Fourth of July! Fire up that BBQ and get the music playing!
In honour of these holidays (and the long the weekends that accompany them), we rounded up some great patriotic styles that are perfect for any event or activity you...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI mentioned in the Ways to Treat a Sunburn article that I am on the fairer side of the skin spectrum. Otherwise known as pasty white. When summer rolls around and I pile up on the sunscreen (so as to not burn my paper white face), I feel good I knowing that I am protecting my skin. Though I will admit, I feel a twinge of jealous when I see all those tanned bodies at the beach. For that,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's my personal belief that one can never have too many lipsticks. Because just when you think you've seen everything, along comes another lipstick shade or product that blows everything you've ever tried out of the water. So clearly, you need to get your hands on it.
I've been busy building quite the lipstick collection these past few months. I've...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basSummer time means shorts, swim suits and sandals. Which in turn means shaving, waxing and pedicures. While it's nice to treat yourself to a fun and relaxing spa day every so often; it isn't always possible to make the trip. Which is where the at home pedicure comes in handy!
Creating a spa like atmosphere right in your own bathroom is actually pretty simple. Why not try and DIY some...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIf you've ever seen any photo of me before, you know that I'm what some might call, 'pasty', 'extremely pale' or 'snow white-esque' (if you're feeling generous). It's okay, I've come to terms with the fact that I don't ever tan. And that's not by choice either because instead of browning to a glow, I just burn to a crisp. Last Canada Day long...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWith all the buzz around the hot new book series Fifty Shades Of Grey, we're predicating right now that grey becomes the 'it colour' of the season. It's elegant, flattering on almost everyone and can easily be done both for a night out and day at the office.
While we already rounded up 10 fabulously sexy 'little grey dresses' we thought we needed to talk a little...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWhen summer time rolls around, it's time to start packing those bags and digging out the maps! Everyone needs a vacation once in a while and this summer, I order all of you chicks to take some time to chill out and vacay it up!
When it comes to travel, it doesn't matter whether you're roadtripping, cruising or exploring a new city; you want to look your cutest. But airplanes,...
