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...
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. I think I was so exhausted and overwhelmed by the entire experience that when she was finally here, it seemed too good to be true. When it came to labour and delivery, we definitely had our ups and downs....
Can you believe Labour Day weekend has come and gone? For whatever reason, it seemed like this Summer really flew. 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...

A lot of our wonderful customers have been visiting the Fashiontruck lately looking for dresses and outfits for formal occasions. No shock there, Summers are typically packed with events, whether it be for a wedding or welcoming a new bundle of joy, birthdays also included. One thing that has surprised me a bit, is a lot of the women that are coming in, only gear towards super formal attire, requesting evening gowns and cocktail dresses. I don't blame you, that's what society kind of tells us that we need to wear to events, especially when it's labelled a "black tie" affair. Truth be told, you don't ALWAYS have to go that route. You can stay true to your style and look...
