Christmas means Christmas lights. The evening comes in early at this time of year and the lights spread a glow that warms the heart, even while our breath is chilled to steam in the cold air. There are many light festivals and tree lighting at this time of year, but one of Vancouvers most well …

It was really cold and rainy when I felt the urge to play around with some bright makeup. My friend had recently sent me a great hot pink lipstick from Anastasia Beverly Hills and an eyeshadow palette with a bold blue eyeshadow from Butter London that I thought would be fun. When I pulled them …
I'm so excited about this post because my friend sent me this super cute eyeshadow palette and lip gloss as a beauty swap, and it's the kind of colour I wouldn't buy for myself, but now totally love. The look is based around the Butter London eyeshadow palette in Natural Goddess, which is a range …
November is a bit of a funny month, because Halloween is over, Autumn is starting to feel like Winter, and it can all feel like a bit of an inbetween time til the Black Friday Sales and December's Christmas vibes. It's a "what to wear" kind of time. I think leopard print is a great …

There's still plenty of green in those leaves, but more and more there are reds, oranges and yellows too. Stanley Park is great this time of year.

This Summer I kept seeing the colour coral everywhere. It's a pretty cute and happy shade, so I wasn't mad about it. A kind of pink orange or orange pink, but bright and sunny too. Obviously, I bought this coral tank and a pair of coral trainers to hit the trend, but I actually have …

It's been a great Summer. My first in Canada, and I love it. I feel like the seasons are really distinct here, and I have to say, Summer feels like a different event every week. This cute and retro outfit is what I wore to the Honda Celebration of Light, which is three nights over …
I used to feel like brown and taupe eyeshadows were pretty dull fare. A natural makeup look can be nice, but it's generally not something that you get excited about. But then smokey chocolate eyes became a thing, and my mind was changed. This look is done with Colorpop Cosmetics eyeshadow palette I Think I …
