It’s easy for celebs to look glam all the time—they have stylists and beauty teams. Why not benefit from their access to experts and take inspiration from their looks? In my Steal Her Style series, I turn the spotlight on a Celeb Yummy Mummy and analyze the key elements behind her style. I pick an outfit and recreate it with affordable pieces currently available in stores. If you have a Steal Her Style request for a future post, please leave it in the comment section below!
Ever since the May 3rd launch of American Girl Boutiques in Canada, my daughter and I have been eager to visit the Yorkdale Indigo location. This past weekend, we made our first trip there—here's our photo diary:
With the Victoria Day long weekend behind us, cottage season has officially begun! We can look forward to barbecues, picnics, and days at the beach...it almost makes up for our never-ending winter. Stores have set out their summer merchandise—it's a great time to stock up on warm weather staples.
Whether you'll be giving or receiving (or both!) this Mother's Day, you don't have to spend a lot to gift something truly beautiful.
Here are my top 5 Mother's Day gift picks from easily accessible stores. They will leave Mom feeling cherished — and you'll have enough left over for a special meal together too!
I've always loved shopping at Indigo — I'll go there with the intention of purchasing a book — and will often end up sidetracked in the stationery and home goods sections. But recently, it feels like Indigo has stepped up its style game...and after attending their Fall 2014 Preview — I now know why!
If you have a doll-lover in your house...you may have heard of American Girl dolls. You might even remember them from your own childhood (not mine — I'm from the Cabbage Patch Kid-loving early 80s.) Created in 1986, these 18-inch dolls were the brainchild of school teacher Pleasant Rowland, who wanted to encourage an interest in American history by creating dolls based on different historical periods. Each doll came with a personalized range of books, clothing and accessories.

Downtown Toronto was buzzing with activity last week due to Fall/Winter 2014 World Mastercard Fashion Week. Usually it's hard to get into the mindset of Fall clothing at the start of Spring, but thanks to the unseasonably cold and drizzly weather, it was easy to get excited about looking at warm and cozy clothing.
I had the opportunity to go behind the scenes with Redken and Maybelline to view hair and makeup backstage, before heading to the front to watch the Joe Fresh Runway show.
Although it may not seem like it, spring is just around the corner. Whether you're hitting the mall or shopping your closet, here are five style trends you'll want to keep in mind — watch the video below to find out what they are!
With the unrelenting cold and dryness, you'll have to be extra vigilant about keeping your lips healthy and moisturized this year. Whether you prefer a natural look or vibrant colours, I have you covered with four hydrating options. These lip products will keep your lips plumped and pretty no matter what your makeup style is.

Take a break from the pretty pastels this Spring, and head straight for the Nautical trend. Crisp white, dark navy, pops of red — you won't regret choosing this classic style. Whether you prefer a fun anchor themed graphic or sailor-worthy stripes, there are a lot of great options available in-store now. Here are ten of my favorite nautical pieces, along with thoughts on how to style them.
Valentine’s Day is a great occasion to spoil the important people in your life. So, whether you’re gifting a parent, sibling, partner, or friend, consider lavishing them with these pink and red pretties. And if you end up treating yourself . . . well, I’m sure that no one deserves it more!
Part of the fun of celebrating Valentine’s Day is getting all dressed up. It’s the perfect excuse to indulge in hearts/pinks/reds or whatever else you may desire. In my house, we prefer to spend Valentine’s Day together as a family — with Hubby and I sneaking off for a date night on another less busy (and less expensive) night. But delaying the date doesn’t mean delaying the outfits — I spent last Valentine’s Day in a heart sweater — and plan on doing the same this year too!

The end of the potty-training stage brings a lot of positive changes — including finally being free of the diaper bag! No more toting around potty seats, wipes, pull-ups or extra sets of clothes — everything is streamlined and it's much easier getting out the door.
Structured cross-body bags are the perfect next step after saying goodbye to your diaper bag. The hands-free strap ensures you can hold your kiddies' hands, while the structured shape makes it easy to store your essentials (phone/keys/wallet) plus any kiddy extras (snacks/Boogie Wipes).
Surrounded by grey skies and slushy streets, it is easy to get caught up in the Winter Blahs. Wearing layer upon layer of warm, but bland, clothing can often add to an overall sense of dreariness. While the florals of Spring and the light pieces of Summer are still months away, you don't have to wait until then to brighten up your outfit.
