There truly is nothing better than being able to throw on a gorgeous, light weight trench and head out the door, not a mitten to worry about. I love that I live in a city that experiences all four seasons, even if not all of them get equal play time. When the seasons change I get so inspired to clean the dust out of every corner in the house, car and closets. It’s a fresh start, and I become so motivated to tackle items that have been on my to-do list for much too long. Here’s to a spring filled with cleaning out those winter cobwebs.
Spring Stripes

I love how striking stripes look, especially in the context of a work appropriate ensemble. I immediately knew this dress was coming home with me the moment I laid eyes on it. It has the look of multiple layers combined into one easy piece. Making it perfect for throwing on while running out the door on a busy weekday morning. The fact it’s black and white means there’s unlimited options for accessorizing it, giving it a fresh new look every time. I see the two of us banking many hours together this spring.
Book Club – The Talent Code
One of the things I look forward to the most each month is hosting my book club. I host by a vote of unanimous decision selfishly appointing myself as hostess, every month, indefinitely, always trying to match the food and decor to the theme or feel of the book. It’s such a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon, surrounded by fabulous ladies, tasty treats, and intellectual conversation…discussing what you’re really going to do with your lotto winnings is imperative. These ladies brighten my month and this kind of good clean fun is just like chicken soup for the soul.
Pink and Navy
Joie Blouse, Rag & Bone Denim, IRO Leather Jacket, Manolo Blahnik Pumps, Chanel Handbag, Anzie Earrings, Pandora Bracelet, Hermes Watch, Stella & Dot Bracelet, David Yurman Bracelet
There’s no color I love more than pink, and no color combo that makes me swoon the way navy and pink do when paired together. I find that navy and pink do a brilliant job of softening the complexion, and make even the palest of skin look bright and vibrant. The snow is finally melting in Calgary, and I plan to have a relaxing weekend with friends and family, after a week that seemed to drag on forever. This has definitely felt like the longest winter in a while, and the untypical overcast skies have been more than slightly depressing. So I’m going to do all I can to enjoy this weekend, probably by drowning out the weather with a cocktail or three.
Suit Up
Rebecca Taylor Dress (similar here), Helmut Lang Blazer, Wolford Nylons, Yves Saint Laurent Pumps, Louis Vuitton Handbag, Michael Kors Watch, Swarovski Bracelet, Tiffany Earrings
These days a simple black blazer can get you from work to drinks with the girls to brunch the next day. It easily dresses up jeans and a tee, and when worn with a skirt and blouse it polishes you’re entire look. I love throwing my blazer over top a fun print dress, to show a little personality, even when I’m pitching. Found at every price level, it’s definitely one item I can’t live without. It’s okay that I say that about 95% of my wardrobe right?
