I’ve talked about my love of dresses time and time again. But every now and again you come across a dress that rises to the top of your favourites list and stays there for a significant period of time. I spotted this beauty online and when I couldn’t shake my initial lust, even after allowing myself a couple of weeks to get over it, I knew that it was love. The details of this dress are what makes it so special, the lace, the collar, the waistband. It can stand on it’s own, without having to worry about which accessories to pair with it. High heels or flats, you’re in luck, it looks fab with both. I’ll stop gushing here, although I could go on for days.

Of all of the trends happening this fall, the cropped sweater may just be my favourite. While we saw all colours and shapes of crop tops this summer, not everyone wants to walk around baring stomach skin, myself included. That’s what’s so fabulous about the crop sweater for fall. We all have a closet full of blouses and tees that make for a perfect base layer beneath a short sweater. With endless outfit options, what more could you ask for from a trend that has staying power?

I’m getting used to my new hair hue. It’s been interesting discovering the ripple effect that changing up my hair has had. Clothing and cosmetics that I used to don with ease alongside my dark locks no longer look right next to my strawberry blonde colouring. Luckily there are still pieces in my closet that play nice with the new hue, and they just happen to be a couple of my favourites. Case in point, the purple print tank above.

Sometimes you need a change up. With so many alterations currently taking place in my life, I thought now was the perfect time for a little hair transformation. Under the talented hands of my trusty hairstylist, Rachelle, from Hedkandi Salon, I went from brunette to strawberry blonde. Having a different look is exactly what I need right now, and it’s been so much fun showing off my new hue. The only question now is, more blonde?
With the unexpected change in weather, I found myself craving everything the holidays have to offer. Warm fire, hot cup of tea, spicy gingerbread and decadent pumpkin desserts. I came across the recipe for Caramel Pumpkin Cupcakes in the Butter Baked Goods Cookbook and it lived up to all of my premature holiday cravings. Topped off with a cream cheese frosting and drizzled with dulce de leche, they were a perfect mix of tangy cream cheese, sweet caramel, and spicy pumpkin.
