If you read my blog on a regular, you might of noticed 6 days out of the week I am in and out of the salon, doing photoshoot content and writing this weeks blog post.
Although you can say my life is pretty busy, a quiet Sunday at home is most enjoyable.
Between you and me…POOSH is my new best friend. Warm tea, soft pillows, VOGUE! I put on the coziest sweater, turn up the radio and lounge around indulging in some personal pampering like: singing in the shower, online shopping, watching NETFLIX & experimenting with eye makeup.
Scrub a dub dub, Splish splash I was takin’ a bubble bath…
A good scrub & body oil (currently loving this one & this one) will help buff away any unwanted skin cells, is super moisturizing and provides suppleness and comfort to the skin, leaving a mouthwatering scent of fresh almonds.
If I’m looking to pamper my skin some more, I’ll follow up with a combination of many moisturizers, specifically Muscle Melt & Almond Delightful Body Balm. Its rich and melting texture leaves behind an ultra soft finish and is perfect for regular pampering routines. My skin has never felt so good!
Take a Deep Breath with one of many Sage essential oils! In essence…this cooling and healing fragrance is used to create a feeling of relaxation, perfect for the mind and body!
And what a feeling it is to crawl into bed with a soft fluffy pillow, some cozy blankets and a refreshing flavour of peppermint tea – currently wearing Lino’s & Lidea Just Fits, catching up on the latest issue How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days
or reading an oldie but a goodie: Harry Styles makes his own rules!
As if you’ve been basking in the sun all day long, following in the footsteps of glazed donut skin, latte eyes and popping up on everyones for you page, the strawberry girl trend is all about finding the perfect berry-pink shade of blush or lip product – from dewy skin, flushed cheeks and faux freckles a makeup look is only as good as the products used.
Coming to the blog sometime soon an editorial broken down on how to achieve the new “Strawberry It Girl”.
Listening to the sound of music…singing along to New York, New York, concrete jungles where dreams are made of theres nothing you can do…I can be your hero baby, I can kiss away the pain, I will stand by you forever…because you live and breathe, because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help, because you live girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky…and I’m like baby, baby, baby, oooh…It aint no lie, I want to see you out that door baby, bye bye bye…Oh my god were back again, brothers sisters everybody sing…feel free to stop me at anytime…C’OMON GIRLS! Ok now I’m done!
After a weeks worth of casually dressing up, and a cup of coffee with a side of freshly squeezed orange juice, today on the blog I decided to go in a different direction and take a look in my top drawer.
From buying three pairs of panties for every one bra, to rethinking your idea of loungewear vs sleepwear– this and a thought I had last week…got me thinking: a topic this delicate shouldn’t be overlooked. Let’s be honest, some of these fashion trends would be near impossible to pull off without the help of certain intimates. Continue to keep’em guessing about what lies underneath? And if so…are we all going to bed naked? As opposed to cotton or satin? Do we just walk around in nothing but a bra and underwear? Does comfort prevail over sexy? After all Isn’t that what this multibillion dollar industry is about? Inner beauty?
…Then again, we’ve all had a not so great experience with uncomfortable bra’s and pantiesonce or twice before.
When we’re having to travel back and forth between cup sizes, demi vs balconette, pushup and unlined, you soon find yourself trading in a favourite old cotton bra for a pretty lingerie set! YUP I’m looking for one that’s jusssst right!
The great thing about unlined bras is that they still offer support without the extra weight and bulk of too much padding. Unlined bras are best suited to be worn under anything light and airy. As a result, they feel lightweight and comfortable, while still looking very sexy.
A demi cup bra is designed to cover only half with a straighter neckline and is very popular for lingerie and lace details. It is most likely to be your everyday bra and like a good old t-shirt bra that have subtle and smooth shape, no bumps or lines both are defined by its simplicity and practicality.
The balconette bra has a designer made and most pin up quality with a sweetheart shape neckline. This style reveals a little more than usual because the height of the cups are shorter and the straps are more wider set – meaning this style of bra can stay hidden even under the most plunging of necklines. The seamed cups give an uplifted shape and more support. It is more likely to get away with being embellished with more feminine detailing than other styles, such as pleats, ruffles and bows.
Over or under I have recently found myself loving slips! Through a series of blog posts I have discovered a few updated versions both full(moon) and half slip that just makes sense for the modern woman.
Currently in love with Chantelle and Simone Perele’s absolute must have Caresse 3D plunge bra, located right here at Legs & Lace (14799 Yonge St Aurora). Ask for Patricia!
Tape yourself silly!An item you should always have lying around…just incase! It is perfect for deep V-neck, open back or open side garments. Made with flexible cotton, styling solutions that offer coverage, lift and maximum hold for up to 12 hours, I absolutely love skims! And in fact I shop her entire collection!
Let me just start off by saying…it is not about hiding a woman imperfections but accentuating her curves. Talk about Shape wear…it can go in one of two ways. High waisted slimming shorts or underwear are perfect for just that as they work to flatten the tummy and give the booty a nice lift and can be replaced with an all over one piece (currently loving this one and this one) provided with the same amount of coverage from your bust to your knees.
No show undies vs no frills? From dresses too skirts, shorts & pants, heres to a simple pair of underwear being able to give you two in one plus one less thing to worry about. A pair of no frill seamless panties, it’s a triple threat!- ranging from the thong, to soft stretch high cut brief now available in boy shorts will help keep your outfit looking streamline and fabulous.
Being at home a little more than usual…its rather simple: a tank top and granny panties. In other terms (shown in the picture above and below) we say welcome to HANRO. Perfect for everything from playing with water to lounging around and reading a book.
PRO Tip:Tank tops and underwear are fairly cheap, so don’t be afraid to go from white to black, and a little nude.
Just add some Nike socks and you’ve got your self the most popular outfit on Instagram today.
I am bored in the house and I’m in the house bored…with the concept of wearing jeans not entirely thrown out the window – it has already been day 30 since I have last worn a pair of denim.
It’s time to get a little more creative with our new “normal” daily attire, wearing pyjamas all day, ditching classic grey oversized sweatpants and old college crewnecks…reaching for more exciting tie dye sets and colourful cotton pullovers – even if that means going to work most days from our bedroom to the kitchen table.
The debate on whether leggings qualifies as fashion, our edit of the best brands will introduce you to labels like: NAMA LuxKnit, Skin and Nap.
So today on the blog lets take advantage of these next few minutes and share a few stay home essentials I am currently living in as of late…comfy loungewear, cozy robes and throw blankets, everything from soft tees, cashmere and knits.
Perfect for the elite, what once was reserved for home furnishings and bedsheets fashion has declared the linen trend “COOL”. A large button up shirt and pant with a classic oversized silhouette is quite comfortable. Keep it open and slouchy which will instantly make you look chic while staying casual.
Not sure how to style them without throwing on slippers and calling it a day? Footwear with the same laidback feel, like mules or loafers, are a super simple addition that look and feel effortless.
There’s nothing wrong with wearing the same old sweatpants from sophomore year…and just when I thought things couldn’t get any cozier around here, I opting for fitted joggers in a luxurious fabric (sponsored by Naked Cashmere like shown in the picture below) – knitted in a single jersey stitch from a 100% cashmere, this super-soft Campbell matching set in charcoal grey is one of my favourites for lounging around. Again opt for neutral hues to keep the look sophisticated and streamlined.
Switch it up or down and wear the new Babaton AGENCY BLAZER, oversize tee and biker short. Feels like BUTTER, keep the colour scheme neutral with muted beige, light grey, black and white.
In 2023 Nostalgia plays a role, ranging from the laid back tomboy side of 90s sitcom characters such as Racheal Green there is an overlay with sportswear and logo, where branding is important. Simply add your favourite pair of white sneakers and sunnies and you will always look like a minimal Norodic fashionista.
Dressed in this years Armani…black and white, flowers and sometimes nothing at all, in collaboration with Kate Murphy – from straight leg, oversized and mens cut 02/01/23, he and she are expecting.
Surrounded by bright lights and soft fabrics this weeks blog post takes place in Solarium. With its white floor and ceilings, natural textures and minimalistic tones, my absolute favourite was the oversize New York style loft windows.
A little less dramatic and slightly more neutral – a settle brow and basic lip. Keeping her eyes to a minimum…I must say she is looking beautifully bronzed.
I am truly thankful to be apart of Belle’s 9 month journey and being able to share these memories that will be cherished for a life time.

After a long season of barely their makeup we decided to go for a warm and dewy glow with a dramatic gold, glittery eye and nude lip/ highlighter along the bridge of her nose, cheek bones and cupids bow.
A twist in the right direction, its time for the corny collins show – brought to you by ultra clutch hairspray.
But it didn’t stop there, hair was slightly messed up and put together in a series of spiral curls and bobby pins, with some fantasy glitter and root spray for a finishing touch.
In todays blog post, I am extremely excited to be sharing my most recent branding shoot, photographed at Mintroom Studios – generating new content for my website and social media platforms.
The Conservatory with its white walls and and open feel was the ideal location to showcase a wedding inspired picture, in a simple and creative way.
The big stain glass windows really allowed light to shine through, complementing the brides hair and makeup perfectly.
Aesthetically the look of a blushing bride is one often that is requested. This shoot combines peachy gold tones with a fun and perfectly tousled pull through braid – perfect for spring and summer just around the corner.
