Slow fashion, sewing, & sustainability
It certainly feels like fall out there! As I’m writing this, rain is tapping lightly on our windows (as it’s been doing the past two days straight). Ahh, Vancouver. Over summer, the sun always makes me forget how it rains about eight months of the year here. But every September I get a swift reminder
As I’ve been moving towards simplifying my makeup routine, I’m focusing more on what’s in the products I buy and how they’re made. However, I’ve found that it’s actually not so simple. There are a lot of terms that brands use when talking about clean beauty which become muddled, so it’s hard to know if what
In Vancouver, we’re in that summer to fall transitional period where it’s quite toasty in the sun but chilly in the shade. It’s definitely the season that calls for layers! For today’s fall outfit inspiration, I decided to wear what I think is a pretty basic outfit from my fall capsule wardrobe. I layered a

Welcome back! If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I recently participated in the summer 2018 10 x 10 challenge. The 10 x 10 challenge is a style challenge created by Lee Vosburgh of Style Bee in which you choose ten items and create ten outfits to wear over ten days. To learn
In a lot of the articles I read about capsule wardrobes and decluttering your closet, the first step is usually the same: go in with guns blazing, get your hands dirty, and get rid of everything you don’t want. While decluttering is a hugely important part of the process, I’d like to argue that there’s
Every summer for the past three years, Jason and I have done a short trip to Mayne Island. It’s one of my favourite places because it’s so picturesque, quiet, and peaceful. I really feel removed from all of the stresses of everyday life when I’m there. This year, we’re going for a whole week and
Happy Wednesday! I’m finally out of the worst of recovering from my wisdom tooth surgery. It was pretty brutal to be honest, so I’m super glad to be on the other side of it now. I was finally feeling well enough to get out and take some pictures of this outfit using items from my
