Hey guys! There’s just something about spring that I love. Maybe it’s that the sun is out longer, or more birds in the trees, or just bright green everywhere, but I love it! Here in Edmonton it’s still snowing periodically, but you can feel spring coming still. The sun is warm now, melting snow and ice to make way for green grass and tree buds in April and May. With spring often comes invitations to early weddings, bridal showers and if you’re lucky, a baby shower or two! I find these days a lot of events are much more informal, you’re well dressed in a nice pair of jeans and a pretty top, but for some only a nice dress will do. And that’s ok! It’s always fun to dress up every now and again, but if you have multiple special events, it can get pretty expensive quickly. My…

  Hey Guys!   I wanted to share my must-have boots for fall. Obviously, I am not telling you to buy allll of these boots, I’m saying if you need a pair of boots, any of these could be a great option! Just click any picture for product information.     This first pair is the Aldo Arravia! My sister is going to be so proud of me, these are not black! I love the chunkier stack heel, I hate thin heels for outdoor shoes in the winter (yes, I have indoor shoes for the winter… suede and velvet don’t belong outside all the time necessarily, treated leather or vegan leather is way smarter). These would look amazing with jeans, with tights and a sweater dress… they’re just gorgeous. They’re decently tall with a non-grippy sole though, so not the best pick if you have to walk outdoors in the…

Hey Guys! Since I’ve been trying to incorporate more affordable fashion into the blog, I’ve been watching for sales on online retailers of affordable clothes. Which, shopbop.com is an online retailer of all price ranges of fashion, but they are having a big sale that ends tomorrow (Friday, October 14th) at midnight (Pacific time). Your order will be 25% off which for us Canadian girls, means we are only paying ~10% currency markup rather than 1.34 Canadian dollars for every US Dollar we purchase in. Regardless of what currency you’re purchasing in, though, this is a great sale and an awesome opportunity to buy on-season items more affordably. I’ve included below some of my favorite picks under $150! All you need to do to take advantage of this sale is use the code MAINEVENT16 at checkout!

Hey! So I recently said in my post about my favorite fall nail colors that I have a super neutral, basic wardrobe because I can’t afford the cost of dressing super seasonally. I thought it would be worth writing a post about how I swap out certain things in my wardrobe and affordable suggestions should you wish to do the same! Everything is linked to the retailer (Boohoo, Dynamite, Joe Fresh, Old Navy) and under $100, I promise. All you have to do is click the picture and you’ll be taken to the retailer. All of these are mostly casual items as I know not everyone works in a formal environment, but I’ll be doing a similar post for work wear, don’t you worry my office girls! 1. Work your weights No, I’m not telling you to go to the gym, I’d never do that. I’m suggesting you switch up…
