The Art of Living by Carrie MacPherson
A look borrowed from the boys, the Bobbie coat by Sosken Studios (by Montreal designer, Marisa Minicucci) is a nice alternative to some of the label's more feminine coats. I didn't buy it, but borrowed it for this photo shoot. It also comes in: black, dark green and navy. Camel is more classy, don't you ...
For years, my favourite Nespresso coffee was Arpeggio, an intense and creamy espresso (a 9 on the Nespresso intensity scale). Yet, since becoming a Nespresso ambassador, I've tried many of their other coffees and now I'm completely obsessed with their Kazaar blend. Kazaar is part of the Intenso coffee range from Nespresso (and it's a 12 ...
One of the must-have items for these early fall days, is a blanket cape. Whether it’s plaid, houndstooth or a solid colour – it’s the perfect piece to throw over a casual outfit for a cozy but chic look. I picked this outfit out at Louwana Creek on Laurier West because I loved the pants ...
Shopping for workout clothes is not my favourite sport, but now that there’s a new boutique on Laurier West that caters to fashion-conscious fitness fans, I’ve been warming up to it. Louwana Creek carries a great selection of local and on-trend activewear. Instead of sporting one brand head-to-toe (I’m referring to the Lulu-lemming types), here ...
A few years ago, a friend asked me if I wanted to attend an auction. I immediately thought of the livestock auctions that my father would bring me to when I was a kid. I remembered the smell of animals, dust and hay. I liked to tag along to hear the auctioneers and to see ...
I don't do well in extreme weather, so the arrival of Fall is always an exciting time for me. In my excitement for the change of seasons, I already swapped my Summer and Autumn wardrobes last weekend. Pulling turtlenecks, thick sweaters, long skirts and wool pants out of storage, to me, is like reuniting with ...
I don’t usually have very many weddings to attend. Maybe it’s because most of my friends are in their 40s and are already hitched or not planning on it. This year, I was lucky to be invited to two weddings on the same weekend! I wasn’t exactly sure how we were going to swing it ...
I love a romantic look and when I spotted this Marchesa Notte dress at hr2 on a work-related trip, I kept thinking about it. Finally, I convinced my guy to make a trip to the store with me to get a second opinion. He loved it too and since we had a wedding to attend ...
Without a doubt, an espresso martini is one of my faves. Since I adore my Nespresso, of course I make my espresso martinis with shots of Nespresso coffee! I like to serve this cocktail to my guests after dinner as a digestif. Below is my version of an espresso martini that works as a pick-me-up ...
When SodaStream Canada asked if I would like to try a convenient healthy food delivery service to help simplify my life – of course I said yes. For the past month, I received fresh ingredients and easy-to-prepare recipes for 3 meals a week. I had just moved into my new home so the MissFresh meals couldn’t ...
