FTC Christmas Card

For ladies who work in fashion and retail, our Christmas is anything but commercial. In fact, we avoid a lot of the materialistic aspects of the holiday and really focus on family and the true meaning of Christmas. We’re all about making new memories and being good to others, thinking less about ourselves and what’s under the tree. As many of you know, Ashley is from out West so she's always had a white Christmas. This year, she decided to vacation in Florida with her family. Although she’s missing festive decorations all covered in snow, she’s really loving the warm climate and people in FLA. If you’ve been following along on our Instagram or hers, you would’ve seen her soaking...

Sloane Olivia Walsh

Before I gave birth to my beautiful girl Sloane, I heard countless times, when you have your first, you'll be overwhelmed with a love like never before. Now I get it. I'm completely in love with my little girl. After fifty hours of contractions and being in labour for almost a full day (eek), Sloane Olivia Walsh finally graced us with her presence. I say without hesitation it was the proudest moment of my life. When I held her in my arms for the first time, it felt like a dream.

When it came to labour and delivery, we definitely had our ups and downs....

Fall Must-Haves on the Fashiontruck

Hope everyone soaked up the sun, got ample vacation time and made some incredible memories. We just spent the entire long weekend posted up at SWS Marine in Muskoka and it was fabulous! Shopping by the lake and sipping cocktails on the dock are a few of our favourite things. :) Ladies, now that temps are dropping and school has officially started today, it's time to prep for Fall. I've already curated my closet for my favourite season with sweaters, denim and ankle boots sitting front and centre. Have you? Chunky knits, a great pair of denim and booties are my go-to and...

Building Your Wardrobe & Getting The Most Out Of Your Cash

Odds are, if you're reading this blog post, you enjoy fashion and your wardrobe is important to you. Don't worry, we're totally in this together. I can proudly say I'm now into my 30's and expecting a baby (very soon), so let's just say, my priorities have not only shifted when it comes to my wardrobe but my buying patterns have changed dramatically. I guess you could say I've matured. :) I'm now shopping way less and focusing on pieces that will bring me true happiness, ones that I truly need.  In my twenties, I spent a crazy amount of cash on the latest trends and pieces that weren't exactly strategic. The ratio from tops to anything else was a whopping 9 to...
