Add New Styles to Your Man’s Wardrobe with Clothes from The Idle Man

February 5, 2018 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

When it comes to shopping for my husband, one of my favourite go-to gift ideas is new clothing. I have a love of fashion that I’ve gradually passed on to Jeremy, in large part by giving him outfits that I think are especially stylish.

Because of that, I’m always on the lookout for new online shops that have trendy clothing for men. When I discovered The Idle Man online boutique, I knew I’d found a new favourite spot for affordable and fashionable menswear. And I was thrilled when I got the chance to choose a Valentine’s Day outfit to review. [Read more…]

October 26, 2017 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

Fall is one of my favourite times to try new fashions. While shorts and sundresses are fun too, the cooler temperatures actually add a bit more versatility to my wardrobe. But with back-to-school expenses and extra-curricular activities to pay for, I don’t want to spend a fortune on clothing either!

That’s where Top Tier Style comes in. The company offers trendy fashions at great prices so I can update my look affordably. This year, Top Tier Style offered to send me a dress and a pair of sunglasses to review. I knew at once that the Strap V-Neck Split Beach Summer Dress and the Black Lens Vintage Steampunk Sunglasses would be the perfect new additions to my wardrobe. [Read more…]

Find Clothes that Fit Just Right with Free Customized Sizing from Lurap

February 23, 2016 by Kathryn 14 Comments

When it comes to fashion, I know what I like and I know what I don’t. Dresses are one of my favourite wardrobe items, but I like them sleeveless, knee-length and with a bit of flare to the skirt. Jeans need to be low to mid rise bootcut style for me to wear them. Form-fitting shirts, strappy sandals…one of the things I’ve learned over the years is that the best clothing trend of all is wearing what I love!

Since my tastes are pretty particular, it goes without saying that I want my clothes to fit just right. And that’s why i was so excited when I got the chance to review one of the beautiful items from Lurap.com! The company specializes in providing women of all sizes and shapes with clothing they’re sure to love thanks to its free personalized sizing on every single item! [Read more…]

December 3, 2015 by Kathryn 27 Comments

As a fashion lover, I have some strong opinions on how to create the perfect wardrobe. I think that combining more pricey designer pieces with simple bargain finds can create a style that always stands out, and choosing pieces with a classic look means that the occasional splurge is also an investment.

Support the Earth in Style with LNBF Bamboo-Based Clothing-Giveaway

October 7, 2015 by Kathryn 161 Comments

When it comes to the clothes I wear, I choose fashions that are versatile, functional and make me look and feel fabulous. Whether I’m slipping into comfy pants and a tank top to run my boys to school or dressing up for a special event, a great outfit has me brimming with confidence when I step out the door. But I didn’t often think about whether the clothing I chose was as good for the earth as it was for me. That all changed recently when I was introduced to Leave Nothing But Footprints!

LNBF is a Canadian-based clothing company specializing in fashions that respect the earth and look fantastic. Offering organic cotton, Tencel and bamboo-based viscose pieces, this clothing is timeless, elegant and a great choice for eco-conscious shoppers. Taking its name from the “leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but memories” philosophy, the company provides pieces for women that want to protect the earth without sacrificing style and quality. Recently I had the chance to choose a few bamboo-based pieces so that I could experience the difference for myself. Needless to say, I couldn’t wait!

I chose the Diana Ponte Dress, Darcy Slim Pants, Avant Top and Maya Jacket to review. I thought the pants, shirt and jacket would make a great fall outfit for both casual and semi-casual wear when paired together, and I just couldn’t resist adding the classy Diana dress to my clothing collection too! When the pieces arrived, I slipped into them to see how they looked and felt. [Read more…]

Get an A+ on Style this School Year with Goody Hair Accessories

August 31, 2015 by Kathryn 9 Comments

My mom has had short hair for my entire life, so I didn’t have anyone to teach me how to style my hair. For school pictures and special occasions, she would have my babysitter curl and style my hair. The rest of the time it pretty much just did what it wanted and I remember once, in Grade 3, a teacher actually told me I needed to brush my shoulder-length hair more because it was so tangled.

In elementary school, I had bangs and hair that was at least shoulder length in the back and sometimes longer. In high school I said goodbye to the bangs and grew out my hair to a simple one-length style with a centre part. But no matter how my hair was cut, I struggled with finding ways to style it.
