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.

This evenings blog post takes place at a gallery opening…somewhere between 75 Melville Street and Elora Centre of the Arts.
It was the latest installation from the artist Bruce Cull entitled “Connection & Response”
A freelance model and business owner, Angela was attractive and bright…
Currently wearing a silk skirt and dress, paired with the colour white and beige…
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.
Early mornings, big shirts and a good book – nothing beats staying in bed, smell and feel of these crisp sheets (sponsored by Tessa’s beautiful fine linens!) A cup of coffee is an absolute must have, if you haven’t yet already!
Introducing something new! In collaboration with Stephanie Brajkovich – non stop picture taking, editing, outfit changes and touch ups is a Toronto based studio at Millworks Creative.
The Loft room featured a four area brick wall, old factory windows, white washed wood beams and antique chandeliers.
Stephanie was surly wonderful to work with, making the model extremely calm and comfortable – we decided to go for a minimalist theme that showcased the models facial features and waist. Every detail from lavender buds and hydrangeas, rain boots, Christian and Louboutin’s, vertical stripes, ruffles and bow ties.
Hair and makeup was dramatic and slightly knotted – half up and half down adding the perfectly, unperfected sweet baby girl turns 24!
I wanted to just say thank you to an amazing team that helped make this shoot look like a dream! For more details and inquires for anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist please get in touch right here!
Good Morning, you are my sunshine! I just wanted to say a hi! …and share a few images of one of many recent finds, obsessions and favourites. Besides having to avoid red wine and pasta stains…you know, being Italian and all! I love a white dress and couldn’t resist.
Cute as can bee, I absolutely love the eyelet details and puffy sleeves. So delicate and sweet, double lined and extremely soft, I paired this dress with the cutest straw boater hat, and the prettiest brahmin bag.Super comfy and extra soft leather made in the mountains of Italy are where you can find fabulous for less, shop todays this years shoe collection.
Oh the possibilities to wearing a white dress. Dress it up, dress it down, wear it to brunch, vacation and summer soirees – from printed tights, beige sandals and sunnies, keep it looking fabulous with a pearl necklace and earrings to match. Also love the way it works as a beach cover up! Best of all, here at the Village, get savings up to 50% off on a mix of designer and affordable brands like Maska and Pellini Milano Paris.
As my love affair for Patricia Nash continues (in todays kitchen located at Mintroom Studios) – think round, circular and lemon wedge, from straw, to wicker, ratten handbags continue to be the basket trend of the season. These natural, grainy textures compliment both neutral and colourful tones, adding a feminine and vintage touch to any look. They are stylish, practical, and utterly charming! Women would take large woven straw bags to the farmer’s markets, garden centres and stock up with fresh fruits and vegetables, sunflowers, honey and lavender.
Straw obsessed Cantinella crochets and the Antinianna wicker bag happens to be my absolute favourite – with its leather handles, round shape, and accent scarf, a built in mirror, touching up makeup is going to be a breeze.
Nice hat?!
Currently I am rotating between a fringe trim, wide brim and floppy hat – it is the perfect companion for vacationing across Europe – London, Ireland & Italy! Not only do they keep the sun at bae but are great for hiding perfectly imperfect bad hair days.
To top it off they’re plenty of hat trends I’m quite smitten with, and this summer hats are big! Really big! Think floppy rather than frou frou, when purchasing your next chapeau.
From straw boaters, wooly fedoras and even a fisherman style cap these lightweight toppers are aesthetically pleasing, while being practical and cool! (pun intended)
RiverIsland has quickly become one of my favourite brands and retailer. I can always count on for beautiful, unique and quality pieces. Spotted: A cropped mini shirt and right away I added it to my shopping cart.A two in one, what time is it? Summer time…!Swap the “skort” for a high rise white eyelet jean.
