Make Sparks Fly

Image via Pinterest A couple years ago, a friend of mine gave me a Kate Spade bracelet for Christmas. Amazing, right? Although I absolutely adore the brand, it wasn't the actual bracelet that touched me. At the time, I had been feeling a bit held back at work and it was pretty discouraging. My friend was so thoughtful, she inscribed on the inside "This Is Your Year To Make Sparks Fly." It was the inspiration and love I needed to dig down deep and keep grinding in a career I knew was very difficult to "make it" in. Every year, when December begins, I always think back to that moment and feel so inspired and cheerful. I want all of you to feel the same way....

Two Part Series: Cold Weather Beauty & Fashion Must-Haves

Image via Pinterest  Since I started working for Ashley, I have learned how to be a more independent professional; not relying on others to take the lead or critique me in my performance on a daily basis. I'm not sure if most or any of you know but for the first 6 1/2 years of my career, I was a Sports broadcaster. I was a TV/Radio Host and Reporter, and worked for Sportsnet 590 THE FAN, Sportsnet and Leafs TV. Drastically different from the fashion world to say the least. When you're in the spotlight every day, the bosses typically feel the need to guide or essentially analyze every move made by the on-air talent. It's suffocating. I can't even begin to describe...

5 Fall Must-Haves on the Fashion Truck

Overspending. It happens to us all, but let me tell you, it doesn't go down as often as it used to. When I was a young pup, it seemed as though I spent every dime I earned on fashion. When I was in my early 20's, I would go to town on trendy pieces, only to donate them a few months later. Don't get me wrong, I love to help people and charities, but I found my careless spending wasn't doing anything for me or my future. As I've grown older and a little wiser, (I'm approaching 30, welp), I've become more selective when it comes to fashion. I have a husband to think about and I know having children...
