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…]

Celebrate International Women’s Day with 4 Inspiring Documentaries from Netflix

March 21, 2017 by Kathryn 15 Comments

As the only women in a house full of males, I often think about how lucky I am to have a husband that truly understands the importance of feminism, and I also wonder how I can best teach my boys that same respect for women. Since International Women’s Day just passed, finding ways to celebrate how far we’ve come in forwarding women’s rights and investigating what we can do better is on the forefront of many people’s minds. If you’re looking for some inspiration, these four documentaries on Netflix are a great place to start!

Miss Representation

I had the chance to see an exclusive premier of this movie when it first debuted and it has a powerful message about the destructive representation of women by the entertainment and media industries. Seeing the way that the media’s portrayal of women influences the way women are perceived by society had me inspired to find ways to change the narrative and ensure women are seen as the strong, complex and unique individuals they truly are.

Look Slimmer and Sleeker with Built-in Shapewear Clothing from Svelte-Giveaway

March 14, 2017 by Kathryn 145 Comments

Having officially reached an age that could be referred to as my “late thirties,” I’m pretty pleased with my physical health overall. My weight is reasonable, I eat well and I manage to work out at least a few times a week (and sometimes even daily when I get in a good groove). But I do still have those problem areas that I like to smooth and tone if I can. And thanks to Svelte clothing, I can do that with no workout required!

Svelte features built-in shapewear to help tame that tummy, eliminate muffin-top and smooth your silhouette. Recently I had the chance to test out any item of Svelte clothing for myself and after some deliberation, I decided on the Slim Cut Denim Jeans in a size medium. I generally prefer boot-cut jeans since I sometimes find slimmer cuts to be unflattering, but with the right outfit, slim cut jeans can actually work well on almost every body type. I was curious to see how the shapewear would work with the slim look of the jeans to create a sleeker silhouette.

Brighten Your Winter Wardrobe with Affordable Fashions from DressLily

February 9, 2017 by Kathryn 27 Comments

The final months of winter don’t have a whole lot of appeal for most people. The fun of the holidays is done, the weather is miserable and almost everyone has started to miss the sun. But one thing that can brighten up even the darkest winter day for me is a stylish new addition to my winter wardrobe! Of course, after the holiday buying spree, I don’t want to be spending too much on new clothes. And with DressLily, I don’t have to! The company offers stylish looks at great prices to help update a winter wardrobe easily and affordably.

Recently I was able to pick a few favourite items from DressLily to create some new winter looks and I couldn’t wait. I’m a big believer in combining timeless designer items with affordable pieces to create a style that looks rich and luxurious without the hefty price tag. With my choices from DressLily, I got to work adding my favourite winter wardrobe items and showing off the finished styles.

I started by pairing my favourite authentic Aran wool sweater from Ireland with a new cozy pair of Plaid Fitted Leggings. I bought the sweater on my honeymoon but I’d been having trouble pairing it with anything but jeans. The plaid leggings suited the sweater perfectly and when I added a pair of fur-lined boots, I had the ideal outfit for the chilliest winter days.
