Q & A

Hey fashionistas!

After getting a ton of questions about what I do, where I got my start and what my favorite (everything!) is, I thought it would make the perfect post! I've put together a little Q&A of the most asked questions.

Enjoy!
xoxo


Q: Do you blog full time?
A:
I currently DO blog full-time while I work in clients for my personal shopping and styling busines. I am in the process of writing articles for Kenton Magazine and will be working with the lovely ladies of Eye Spy Vancouver. So basically I work overtime.... hmm.. I should re-evaluate this!

Q: Why did you start blogging?
A:
To be completely honest with you. I can't remember WHY I created it. I do remember my teacher at school making us create a blog for a quick lesson but I already had mine started and this is the one time I can remember beginning with it. Why I started blogging continually is simple to answer. It's incredible what writing your thoughts and inspirations on web-paper can do for your self esteem and creative thinking. This blog allows me to constantly be creative, inspired and has platformed me into paths I didn't expect in my life.

Q: What do you do in your spare time?
A:
I guess you could say I'm some what of an Artiste! I love to paint and get creative with different types of artwork. I'm currently working on a collection of prints to be sold on Etsy. Stay tuned!

Q: How did you get your start in the fashion industry?
A:
While going to school (full-time) for Fashion Merchandising and Management and serving at Moxies Classic Grill (full-time) I volunteered for as many events as I could and took on internships at an online fashion magazine and with a prominent Vancouver stylist. This allowed me to create a network of people to contact once I graduated.

Q: What is your ultimate dream job?
A:
Move over Joe Zee! A Creative Director for a fashion magazine is ultimately what I would love to do. Other than that - my personal styling would be amazing to do. But If I worked as the Creative Director I'm pretty much killing two birds with one stone!

Q: What are your outfit essentials?
A:
Dark denim skinny jeans, a collared shirt, black pumps and gold accessories.

Q: How do you feel about sequin?
A:
Sequin all day, everyday.

Q: What are your beauty essentials?
A:
A great moisturizer, eyelash curler, voluminous mascara and a light rose blush.

Q: Do you take all of the photos on your blog yourself?
A: I do unless stated otherwise. I use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 camera.

Q: What is your favorite magazine?
A:
It's hard to answer because there are so many great ones out there (thank you magazine section at Chapters!) but I must admit I am a full on Elle girl.

Holiday Brights

Today's post is about brights! Whether you find it difficult to add color into your wardrobe or just need some inspiration, today's post is for you.


I just recently wrote an article for Kenton Magazine on how to wear bright colors in the colder seasons. To get some quick tips check out the article HERE.


For Christmas, Eric's parents gifted me with a beautiful "Cabana" necklace by Lia Sofia! With the gold accents and hushed blue it can work with so many outfits as my pop on color or just a light shade on an already bright top, just like above!


This great shade of blue polish by Illamasqua also made it's way into my stocking this Christmas (thanks cuz!). It'll be a great addition to a ton of outfits.

big city, bigger dreams

You know the saying "small town, big dreams"? Well, that doesn't apply to me. I grew up in a city of 600,000 people - most with big dreams. When I was younger I wanted to grow up and be everything including the kitchen sink and sure enough I did everything I didn't say I wanted to do.

As I'm getting older I have dreams of being in New York, how I get there I do not know, what I do there I do not know. What I do know is that I will get there. What do I want to do now with my life? Basically dress people in fabulous clothes and make jewellery. It's aaalll happening.

I didn't come from a small town, I came from a big city - and I have bigger dreams.

As I digress...

The lovely Alexander Liang and Paisley Smith from Kenton Magazine are so special to feature me and Jeremy Szafron in their latest vid from the Le Chateau Style Event! xoxo



I just recently finished a new chain bracelet that I will definitely be making in more colors. It's the perfect addition to most arm parties and adds a chic touch to all outfits! I'm definitely thinking about starting an Etsy shop for my bracelets and paintings...what do you think?!

PS. Did anyone catch the Victoria Secret Fashion Show?! Can you say AMAZING?!?! Oh and the 2.5 million dollar bra, no bigs. I got one of those.
