Slow fashion, sewing, & sustainability
Thanksgiving came so fast this year (for us Canadians, anyway). Wasn’t it just summer like a day ago? I have a feeling that the rest of this year is going to speed right by, especially with our move coming up. I know I keep saying that we’re moving, but we don’t actually have our final
Welcome back! In today’s fall outfit inspiration, I’m sharing a look I styled with what is probably my favourite top in my closet.

After a beautiful and hot summer in Vancouver, the weather has finally taken a turn and cooled down a little. While I wouldn’t say summer is over just yet, fall is fast approaching. I’m particularly excited because it’s my favourite season of the year, not least of all for the fashion. I love cosy knits
Hello and welcome back! As it’s the start of a new month, I thought I’d try doing a roundup of my favourite things from November. I love reading posts or watching videos on YouTube, and so I thought it would be fun to do one every month for you. But before we get started, let’s
As I was sorting through my coat closet this month, I came across my old wool pea coat. I’ve had it for over ten years, and it has been well-loved. It was pilling, the wood buttons had chipped, and the interior lining was ripped in several places. And yet I’d still been hanging on to
