Packing for a trip can be challenging at the best of times, but packing light can be downright difficult. As you're reading this, I'll either be away on or back from my mini-holiday -- four fun-filled but surely exhausting days visiting the big-eared mouse in the F L. Travelling on...

Before I had kids, I decided that I wanted to raise my children to be free thinkers and have their own views and opinions. Now that they're 11 and 9, I kind of wish I had amended that belief to include: as long as their views and opinions are the...

Sun, rain, sleet and snow. This time of year you never know what you'll experience when you walk out your front door. With all the unpredictable weather we've been having lately, it's hard to know what to wear to tackle the elements.

April's a tricky month to dress for at...

Lavender, peach, mint green, dusty rose. This year, one of the hottest Spring trends is pastels and as with many trends, some women aren't sure how to incorporate them into their existing wardrobe.

The great thing about a trend is that just because you adopt it, it doesn't mean that...

Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Beyonce. Know where I'm going with this? That's right -- these ladies have got some serious booty going on. Beautiful, sexy, with curves in all the right places -- I wonder if they ever ask, "Does my butt look big in this?"

These famous women are...

I'm a huge fan of high quality, well-made, designer clothing and accessories. Unfortunately my wallet doesn't always allow me to indulge as often as I'd like. Luckily, whenever I'm unable to splurge, I have the option of shopping at one of the local off-price retailers.

If you're not familiar with...

I read a piece in a magazine the other day in which Donatella Versace stated that for a woman, showing off your waist would always be more advantageous than concealing it. As much as I admire Donatella and would love to be able to purchase Versace on a regular basis,...

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd find a little somethin' somethin' to wear to mark the occasion. You know -- something cute and sexy that only my Valentine would get to see. But lo and behold, once again, I left the lingerie stores empty handed, disappointed and wishing...

I recently met with a potential client who, within a few seconds of meeting me, informed me that I look nothing like my website photos and for a few moments that's all I could think about. What did he mean I looked nothing like my photos? Who the heck did...

Every January there's always so much talk about embracing the new -- new goals, new habits, new changes, new lifestyle. When it comes to fashion, it's no different. Magazines are already previewing the new Spring/Summer trends for 2013 and in just a few weeks I'll be doing the same.

What...

What better time of year to pull out the sequins, leather and lace than the holiday season? Whether it's a cocktail party, dinner with friends or a gathering to trim the tree, how about donning something special to mark the festive occasion.

Clothing that incorporates sequins, leather and lace can...

When it comes to office holiday parties, there's almost always One. The One who's folded and tucked herself into a seemingly too tight dress or is dressed completely inappropriately. The One who can't walk in her new heels or forgot that it was -20 outside, the middle of winter and...

November's coming to end and we all know what that means. Yup. That's right. Holiday events and parties. Whether for business or pleasure, most people's December schedules are filled with lunches, dinners, cocktail parties and get-togethers. So how do successfully manage to stay on top of all these events, knowing...

As the temperature drops, there's nothing better than throwing on a great sweater to keep you warm. (A Hot Toddy doesn't hurt either.) But with so many options, how do you choose? And then once you've chosen, how will you wear it? What will it go with? How will you...

Ever get into one of those arguments that goes horribly wrong? The kind that starts off innocently enough but ends badly? Maybe it started as a discussion or friendly debate and then slowly things got out of control and you saw red, your face contorted and you ended up crossing...

They can be worn any time of the year, but with fall in full swing, nothing beats a great pair of booties. With jeans, skirts and everything in between, the right bootie can take an outfit from drab to fab. Here are some my favourite picks for the season and...

I have a little secret. Something that only my immediate family knows. Something, that as a stylist, I would never dare to share. Something that I am only disclosing because the threat of exposure looms. So here it is: I wear Sponge Bob socks. With my boots. Like, all the...

This week's post is a little different. While I typically focus on style, trends and what's hot, I recently noticed something that had me intrigued. And with all my recent talk about confidence, it's piqued my interest. I wonder whether it's a lack of confidence that creates this fascination, whether...

In my line of work, I'm always on the lookout for what's hot and what's not, what's sexy and what's a turnoff. And when it comes to people or relationships, there is one word that I hear over and over and over again: Confidence. And guess what? Apparently it's pretty...

Many of us ladies like to change things up. Every once in a while, we like to update our look or change the way we do things. Quite often, this can result in a bit of excess, adding to an already full closet or brimming drawers. How can we change...
