If there’s one thing my friends and family know about me, it’s that I have an unrelenting sweet tooth. Cookies, candy, ice cream, chocolate, I don’t discriminate when it comes to sugary concoctions. So when I saw the recipe for chocolate fudge brownies with all the add-ins, I knew I had to give them a go. I found the recipe in the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook, and to lower the guilt up the cuteness factor, I decided to make them in small, one-bite squares. Needless to say I will definitely be making these little bites of deliciousness again soon.

Other than fashion one of my greatest interests lies in sport and athletics. I grew up playing hockey and I was lucky to reconnect with an old teammate upon moving back to Calgary. She, along with her husband own a boutique gym called Stenia Health & High Performance. This is where I go to get my sweat on a couple of times a week. Obviously cute outfits help with my performance level, although the eye candy at the gym doesn’t hurt either.

There are two things that I can’t get enough of this summer, florals and Ford, Tom Ford that is. Lets be honest, the true show-pony of this ensemble is the handbag. The versatility, in both color and functionality is what sold me. I’ll be able to wear this bag well into autumn. Cross-body or on the shoulder, it does it all. It would probably run my errands too if I asked nicely.
One of my favorite looks to do for the summer is a bronzed sun kissed eye. The best thing about this look is that you don’t have to have a tan to pull it off. It’s also a good day look that can be elevated to night by simply lining the lower water line with a swipe of black eye liner. For this look I stuck to cream based shadows, as they give off a more metallic finish and overall dewy look. So go ahead ladies, bat your lashes and let your eyes do the talking.

One of the most unique things about Calgary that I’ve grown to love is how easy it is to drive in any direction and feel like you’ve entered a new city altogether. Such was the case the other night when going to visit friends, and it deemed the perfect opportunity to snap a couple of pictures. While an evening spent in the country is always delightful, I have to say that my pumps longed for the paved roads and sidewalks of the city.
