Love Letters and Lace

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with heels. I have many gorgeous pairs and as much as I love how they look while on... I either end up avoiding wearing them, or switching to a pair of cozy flats by the end of the night, and I know I'm not alone on that. So when I was approached by Sole Patches to test out their product, which claimed to take away all of the discomfort of wearing heels all day, I was definitely intrigued. Of course, I wouldn't recommend a product without testing it myself thoroughly, so I put these to the test, and here's what I found:  So, first of all, what exactly are they? Sole Patches are little cushioning adhesive patches that you apply directly onto the balls or heels of your feet (or direction onto your shoes) in order to relieve that soreness you get from wearing heels for many hours. They also claim to have anti-moisture, anti-bacterial and anti-odour properties.  What I Found:  When I first saw these, I knew exactly whic

Along with the chilly weather, holiday music and festive decorations, December also brings along another yearly favourite: Holiday parties. Be it for work, with friends or with family, you will most likely attend a holiday party/get together or two during the month of December. So, be it formal or casual, evening or daytime, if you're looking for some fashion inspiration, you've come to the right place! I've gathered a few of my favourite formal and casual looks that will be perfect for any holiday party. A lot of these would also look fantastic on New Years Eve too! As you'll probably notice, I'm loving cute sweaters when it comes to casual looks and when it comes to formal holiday wear, I'm all about sequins! I can't resist a little sparkle! Which ones your favourite? Casual looks: Formal looks: Happy partying! xo

I'm pretty good at shopping for gifts, especially when it comes to Christmas gifts. I'm very attentive to the things people like and I really love choosing gifts that are both thoughtful and useful. However this skill, or talent if you will, clearly does not apply when it comes to shopping for my boyfriend. Because I am truly clueless. If you're looking for some kind of guide for the ideal gifts to buy your boyfriend, I am very sorry because what you have stumbled across here is far from that; this is a rant. Because I am truly confused, why is it so hard to shop for your boyfriend?? Maybe I'm alone here and I'm sounding crazy. And it's not that my boyfriend is overly picky or has high expectations. However I'm used to being able to find the perfect gift for everyone on my list and for some reason I just can't put my finger on what it would be. I can think of things he would like, sure. But I'm after that kind of gift that has that 'wow'

Hello everyone! Since, as many of you know, I'm extremely excited about the holiday season and I want to share my excitement I've decided to partake in Blogmas this year: one blog post every day of December up until Christmas eve. Now I'm not sure if I'll regret this decision, since December is finals season as well and I'll be busier than ever, but I'm super determined to do it, and I think it'll be a fun 24 days of great posts! Hopefully you'll all follow along with me as we draw nearer to the holidays and get excited with me! Let me know in the comments if there's anything you'd like me to write about during Blogmas! I'd love to hear your suggestions!! xo

Oh yes! It's getting close to that time of year again! The holidays are truly one of my favourite times of the year. Yes, I may be one of those people who start listening to Christmas music in November and plan out my holiday shopping/decorating/baking weeks in advance. And yes, my family is the kind who put up their Christmas tree on December 1st. For all of you who aren't quite in the holiday spirit yet (and those of you like me who are TOTALLY in the holiday spirit) I thought I'd share a collection of photos that just might get you a bit more in the mood to get excited about the holidays!! Are you excited for the holidays? Tell me about it in the comments! xo
