A bit of Canadian fashion magic from @missnoemiah 🌸

I felt like a desert nymph in this beautiful silk sheer overlay dress at our friends’ Bay-Area wedding this weekend. Tysm for the incredible piece I will treasure (and dance in!) for many years to come.

I am obsessed with the intersection of fashion and function - bags have to DO things for me! They have to hold things! They have to be comfortable! And, of course, they have to look cool!

Tysm to @audetteofficiel & @hyergoods for the beautiful bags and for letting me wear pieces of your genius out in the world 🫶🏼

Are we calling this reverse peplum? Where the ruffle is part of the pants instead of the shirt?

Set from @shopshelter_ (gifted credit). Wearing size L/XL in both skirt and pants.

I didn’t get this @elizafaulkner dress and now I’m wondering if I made a mistake 🐆

Might go try it on again at the @victoirelovesya pop up at @nouveaurichevintage this weekend 🧐

At this point I can’t leave the house without my @JLabAudio JBuds Lux headphones - they keep me in the zone no matter where I’m writing.

Grab yours at @BestBuyCanada <3 #JLabCanada #JLabPartner taken in Toronto, Ontario by @readwritethrift

One small step for me, one big circular journey for each coffee capsule! ♻️ #Partner_Nespresso

When you send your @nespresso.ca capsules back through the Nespresso’s own recycling program, you become part of a long chain of actions that keeps waste out of landfills and repurposes aluminum to be used again and again and again. I will never pass up an opportunity to be nosy and get a peek into the inner workings of a process I knew nothing about - it was so satisfying to see Nespresso’s sustainability initiatives in action. If you’re curious too, feel free to leave a question or check out nespresso.com for more info on how to make sure your capsules are part of a more circular world! taken in Toronto, Ontario by @readwritethrift

Selling on @ebaycanada means I can pass pieces along to folks who will love them AND fund my vintage bag collection. Circular fashion! My favourite 🫶🏼

I think it’s a personal style flex to rewear our fancy things, so I wore my beloved @elizafaulkner set to the @torontolife Best Dressed party last week. This set is me, I am her, and I felt incredibly cute 🌸🐷🩰

Also rewore my trusty @hyergoods bag, @lintervalle platforms, and @brifosterdolls charm 👛
