As we settle into the new year, I still can’t get over that another year is done. I wanted to share a look back on 2016 and some 2017 new year’s resolutions to keep a record and be able to look back on this post, 12 months later! I also want to share some of my personal hopes and goals…
What are the best products for chapped lips? This is a question for the ages. I wanted to share some of my favourite natural lip products for dry, winter lips... just in time to pucker up for that New Year's kiss!

Best Products for Chapped Lips: Lip Scrubs
I have two favourite lip scrubs, that I rotate between. Fresh's Sugar Lip Polish is delicious and easy to use. I like that a little goes a long way, and how the formula sinks in an moisturizes the lips as well. The grit is larger, which can be a drawback for some, but this is a great way to prep your lips before doing makeup.
My other favourite scrub is Lush's Santa Baby lip scrub. The smell and taste is like Coca Cola! I like the fine grit of this sugar scrub, but find it's less moisturizing than the Fresh option. I usually use this a couple times a week to slough off dead lip skin (yum!) and couple it with an intense lip balm.

One of the biggest style trends this season is a crushed velvet dress. I styled this look with a chic black leather backpack and mid-calf boots for a chic, retro-inspired outfit. I’m wearing a crushed velvet dress from Zara (similar pink velvet dress here), a pair of Monique waterproof boots c/o La Canadienne, and a leather backpack from Mackage. These…
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with anything holographic. It’s probably thanks to Cristine of Simplynailogical (who I even met in person at my favourite Ottawa restaurant!) but this rainbow fabric has been appearing everywhere, from handbags to nailpolish to sneakers. These Vans Holo sneakers, which I’ve worn before here, are easily my favourite! A pair of holo sneakers with a minimal…
Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today. I wanted to quickly share what I wore on Christmas Eve for a festive Christmas outfit. I'm wearing a Ted Baker Horticultural Checked Dress (similar version of the dress here), a Prada double zip tote, and Kate Spade bow heels c/o DSW Canada.
I adore these Kate Spade bow heels. The soft suede is very comfortable, while the satin tuxedo bow adds a girly, Kate Spade touch! These heels are available in store at DSW Canada, as well as a few other Kate Spade shoe styles I'm falling in love with! They are the perfect shoe for the holidays, and I'm excited to wear them on New Year's Eve as well! I have a few pairs of Kate Spade shoes (including a few pairs of Kate Spade for Keds), but these ones are easily my favourites. They are SO comfortable for a pair of heels too. I love how the mini bootie design holds in my foot, I could easily dance the night away in them!
