Slow fashion, sewing, & sustainability
Today’s outfit is a super simple look incorporating some of my favourite pieces. I always feel most comfortable in jeans and sneakers. However, I didn’t always know this about myself. I actually have the capsule wardrobe to thank for finally discovering my ‘daily uniform’. Without going through the process of decluttering my closet and thoroughly
Monday this week was the first beautiful spring day we’ve had in Vancouver. The sun was shining all day and I think it hit up to about 16 degrees. It finally felt like the warmer weather is here! I took full advantage of it by finally wearing some of the warmer-weather pieces from my spring
Being a perfectionist is one of those things you’re supposed to say in an interview when they ask what your weaknesses are. It’s made to sound like a bad thing that you sneakily turn into something good. (Does anyone actually do this anymore, or is it too well known now?) In my case, it could

In this article I’ll be sharing what I believe is the ultimate basic year-round capsule wardrobe. These are the pieces that I consider to be absolute essentials in my closet. It can totally work as your year-round wardrobe on its own, or serve as a foundation to build on with more seasonal pieces throughout the
Hi everyone! I’m so excited to be sharing my first video with you. I just figured it would be a lot easier to follow this tutorial in video format so you can really see how I did it. Today I’ll be showing you how to add a cuffed hem to a pair of denim cutoffs.
Last weekend we took a short, local trip to visit with friends in BC’s interior. While there were moments of excitement, overall it was the perfect peaceful and relaxing getaway from the city. It got me thinking more about the benefits of slow travel, something I would like to do more of. I have always loved
In winter of 2017/18, I took part in my very first ‘official’ capsule wardrobe. Up until then I had been slowly working to declutter and downsize my closet, but this was the first time that I actually planned a set number of pieces that I would wear for a span of 3 months. Today I
