I have to say when I first heard about wedge sneakers I was completely skeptical. I thought that it was a trend I could easily pass on with no regret. That all changed when I tried these kicks on in New York last week. I immediately imagined all of the places I would be able to wear them, all of the outfits I could style to go with them. The comfort factor was the nail in the coffin, and before I knew it I had tucked these sneaks safely in my suitcase. The only problem now is making sure I give my other footwear a chance to see the light of day.

In honor of Valentine’s Day I thought I would incorporate a pop of pink into my outfit this week. I have had a life long, deep infatuation for the color pink. I even deemed it ‘my signature’ growing up. It’s rather remarkable though, that despite my love affair with the color, there is actually very little of it in my closet. Much to my relief however, it seems as though pink is hot for spring. If that’s the case I’ll take one of everything please, thankyouverymuch.

I know it sounds clichéd, but I can’t help it, I have a serious love on for cheetah print. A dash of the print in a top, jacket, skirt or in my case yesterday, a fabulous pair of booties can really bring an outfit to life. No need to worry about the print being too tacky or old-lady. The pieces found on the retail floors today are a mix of classic, on trend, and investment worthy. The next time you think your outfit may be lacking a little something, throw on some cheetah, I guarantee it will make your day.

Usually I look longingly at the weather app for New York, which is almost always a few degrees above Calgary. So it was a welcome change to come back from NYC to spring-like weather in YYC. This kind of weather is such a tease, as I know there will likely be more snow to come before actual spring. But until that snow falls again you’ll be seeing me in dresses, tights and my favorite suede boots.
I took some time off last week while in New York, brainstorming how to get a visa for a conference. There was some slightly unfortunate timing coming home with snowstorm Nemo and needless to say it was an incredibly long journey. The best part of arriving back home, aside from my insanely comfy bed, was having the girls over for a decadent dose of sweets. Cupcakes, cookies, cinnamon popcorn and heart shaped candies were on the menu, washed down by delicious David’s Teas. This could be one of my favorite days to celebrate based on color palette alone, and it was so nice to spend time with some seriously amazing ladies I get to call my friends.
