It’s the perfect time for another summer recipe! Summer is peak season to enjoy zucchini recipes. Another great fruit to be tried are nectarines. I try to prepare meals using in-season products as often as possible or as some might say to “eat the season”. Actually, apart from carrots and…

It’s the 5 second outfit… No joke, this one item looks good, takes 5 seconds to put on and can easily transition from day to evening wear. The jumpsuit, overall or one piece, whatever you choose to call it, it is one of those pieces I wished I had multiples…

Hi wonderful you,
I have finally found my perfect go-to salad for the Summer!
About 2 months ago, while visiting my parents, I made a salad and a spur of the moment salad dressing to go with it. Immediately, my dad commented that the salad was delicious and different from his usual dressing. It surprised me and made me very happy as he is a typical meat and potato kind of man. At that moment, I knew I had a winner and voilà, it became my new favorite salad.

About a month ago I had an interesting conversation.
It was fashion revolution week and I was looking for new reading/listening material that would inspire me for future blog posts. I happened to find a lot of books that talked about the high cost of fashion, fast fashion and what really goes on behind the scenes. My brother who is living a minimalist lifestyle, which includes his limited wardrobe (do I really need 10 t-shirts when I can only wear 2?). After all, we know that very creative entrepreneurs, hum hum, Mark Zuckerberg and the late Steve Jobs kept wearing the same basic outfit (basic t-shirt or turtleneck with jeans). During our conversation, my brother mentioned that he had read that the fashion industry was one of the most polluted industries.
YIKES !
Being that I like to think that I am very eco-conscious, I recycle like crazy, try to eat clean food, try to shop more locally, I donate to Greenpeace efforts and support other environmentally friendly ways of living, this notion was nevertheless a little shocking.
I thought okay, how can someone that loves fashion adapt it’s closet to a more minimalist way of living without losing it’s colorful style?
In other words: « How can I apply this perspective to fashion without losing the fashion??? »
It may sound contradictory yet I had an Ah ha! moment that finds a way to combine both in a simple way.

I was never a sneaker girl, those were only for exercising. However, in the last 2 years my style has changed to match my lifestyle which is more a stay at home mom. During this time, I have seen so many fun, colorful and stylish sneakers worn with every day clothing. To push things even further, the newer trend is to wear them with dressier or more formal outfits, what! Yep, you heard it right. I am not certain if I would ever wear those bulky running shoes but the more fitted and colorful sneakers look oh so pretty with almost anything.

[bigletter]Maybe aware from the proliferation of headlines that end in “…and the internet is very upset about it!” the Internet is constantly very upset about various things. Some of those things provoke quite understandable if not righteous upper. Other times though, the internet just seems bored and looking for something to kick around the ol’ Twitter echo chamber.[/bigletter]
Comments closedMother’s Day is just around the corner and I have been thinking of what a mother, being a mother myself, would really appreciate or need.
So forget about scented candles, silk pyjamas, perfume or any other classic mother’s day gifts. I decided to make a new kind of list that is more modern, yet has some really helpful and time saving gifts. After all, I often hear mother’s say that they don’t have enough time to make time for themselves.

Ever since I started shopping for my son over two years ago, I’ve learned a lot about different baby clothing brands—what’s worth buying and what’s not. From quality and fit to style and price, some brands stand out while others fall short.
In an ideal world, I’d love to shop exclusively at boutiques that offer high-quality, stylish baby clothes while supporting small businesses. However, babies grow incredibly fast, and constantly replacing their wardrobe can get expensive. That’s why I purchase about 70% of my child’s clothing from big-box stores and 30% from designer brands and small businesses.
Let’s dive into what I’ve discovered about some of the most popular big-box stores for baby clothes.
