Summer Must Have – High Waisted Denim Shorts

Bench high waisted denim shorts

Home is Toronto. That’s for sure – no matter how far away we roam we’re always drawn back to the place we call home. Since my childhood I’ve had the pleasure of calling different parts of Toronto home. From west to east, downtown to uptown, (and eventually north of the city). It has been really nice to experience the different ambiances generated by the uniqueness of each neighbourhood.

Vichy Idéalia Product Review

Vichy Idéalia

During the last few years I’ve noticed a gradual change in my skin. As someone who has combination skin, keeping oiliness at bay and adding minimal moisturization was my skincare ritual for years. However, over the last few years one of the biggest changes I’ve experienced is just how dry my skin has become outside of my T-zone. And more recently I noticed some new fine lines much to my dismay. In retrospect, there was a time when I took my youthful skin for granted and as a result am paying more attention to taking better care of it now.

I was offered the Vichy Idéalia range to try. Vichy really put some thought into Idéalia by exploring the influence of a fast-paced lifestyle and how stress, fatigue, and lack of sleep impact our skin quality. Ummm…guilty as charged. The Idéalia line is an antioxidant complex made up of blueberry extract, fermented black tea extract and Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water (no parabens) to provide visible results in 8 days. The line boasts to even complexion, refine pores and most importantly smooth lines. Excited to try this one? You betcha! Continue reading “Vichy Idéalia Product Review”

I haven’t owned a pair of pink pants since I was in college. And to be honest, I was all set to pass on the trend this time around. But then I saw that my beloved Free People had a pair. Their pink paper bag pants had such an adorable cinched high waist, and the colour is rather pretty. Upon a quick mental scan of my spring summer capsule I realized that all of my pants are blue jeans and figured a pair of pink paper bag pants would be a fun and addition.
