Hello Lisa!
I was so happy to receive your comment, thank you! I have had a very busy few months but can't wait to return to blogging this spring. Thanks for sticking around through my absence, I appreciate it, and I hope you enjoy the new content coming up :)
Hero piece
What other piece manages to be cozy yet somehow sexy, is appropriate for any occassion, pairs flawlessly with all black pants, jeans and skirts and perfectly layers under blazers and jackets? Black turtlenecks save the day all winter long. I like this thin cotton one and this thicker one mad...
Thank you so much Devin, I love reading such nice comments! I'm sometimes hesitant to share photos, so it means a lot to hear good things from you. I am hoping to share some more photos of me in the boots soon, so stay tuned!
Best Boots: Wolverine 1000 Mile x Samantha Pleet
I have posted about Wolverine 1000 Mile by Samantha Pleet boots a few times before, but they are really worthy of their own post. I own the three pairs here- the Arc boot in taupe and black and the Bonny in dark tan. The taller dark tan ones were my first pair, which I got a year ago. They wore ...
Thanks Alecia, great to know those pajamas are as good as they look!
Classic PJs
Eberjey, J.Crew, Sleepy Jones. Classic pajamas, inspired in part by this lady.
Thank you Devin, great to hear such nice things from someone in LA! I had family there for a long time and constantly visited so it's a really special place for me. Isn't the popover great!?
I have a lot of feedback on the Wolverine x Samantha Pleet boots as I wear mine so much (I also have another pair from the collection that I love). I am not usually an all-day heel wearer, as I find most heels too uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. These, however, are so comfortable. They are a medium width and seem to work for all foot types. The heel is a perfect height. I find them to be fine to wear all day, and the only time they bother me even a little bit is if I've worn them for over 8 hours at work or when I'm doing a lot of walking. They are very flattering around the ankle (sometimes tricky with ankle boots) and really leg-elongating. I've tried a lot of ankle boots and these ones are by far the best in terms of comfort, quality, and look (and a good price). They make any outfit better, and I find that I wear them constantly, day and night. I am very close to buying them in black as well for the fall and winter. Whoa, who know I could write a short essay on ankle boots? Hope that this helps, and let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Sandra! Your comment is the nicest I have ever received, such lovely feedback! Thank you so much, it made my day. I am planning on blogging a lot more and increasing the photos I share. Thank you for reading and have a great day!

The sweatshirts are so soft and such a perfect fit!
Best Jeans: Baldwin Denim
While in LA in March I had the opportunity through work to check out the Baldwin factory and showroom downtown, and check out their relaunched women's collection. Matt and his team are the best (thank you so much guys!) and it was so great getting to see a living example of "Made in America" ...
This is wonderful!
Moodboard
New month, fresh start, new ideas. Alois Lunzer, Moc Orange or Syringa, 1885 / Sam Edelman lace-up gold oxfords / Terrain garden shears / Delfonics wooden pencil / marbled notebook (no longer for sale)
Thank you! They do look great together, I find that I wear my lilac jeans and polka dot chambray way more than I thought I would!
Current Favourites
Essie nail polish in Wicked. Polka dot chambray shirt from Urban Outfitters. Top knot seen on Cup of Jo. Danier leather jacket. Mother Denim The Looker in French Lilac. Steve Madden Noahh boots.
My life is one big caesar tour!
Caesars
Caesars are "Canada's cocktail" and can be found everywhere here, but are basically unknown outside of the country. They are the perfect drink, salty and savoury. Rim a tall glass with celery salt, then add ice, 1 or 2oz of vodka, Lea & Perrins, tabasco, salt and pepper, some lime, and fill w...
I've said it before and I'll say it again- this is my absolute favourite series you have ever done. Hands down. LOVE!
Tokyo and Neon
Hello and Happy August, I am sorry I have been away for so long but I have had many changes to deal with! I had lots of travel which included Japan as you know. I also got our house ready to sell and then we sold it. I then packed and we moved. Now, I am looking for a n...
These are all so gorgeous- especially the poppy!!
Mom's Garden
Hello, Here are just a few of the pile of photographs I have recently taken in my mom's garden on Vancouver Island. She is an artist and plants are her medium these days. I picked a little bouquet to share with you too. Have a wonderful weekend. xoleslie
Thank you! I bought them either last summer or the summer before at American Eagle, and have worn them to death!! They are my favourites. I find that American Eagle comes out with a great selection of sandals every summer!
Summer nails
I love fun and bright nails in the summer. Lately I'm especially loving China Glaze polishes- these three in particular! Neons are my favourite- Orange Knockout is so bright and looks great with tanned skin, and Flip Flop Fantasy is the perfect neon pink with some orangey tones. They are both p...
Thanks Fiona! :) I know I totally agree- I am an envious of that, Japanese women seem to be like French women in the way that they just "know" what to put together to look amazing and effortless.
Tokyo style
I recently returned from an amazing and inspiring trip to Tokyo. It was my first time going and I loved it so much, especially the fashion (okay, and the food...what's not to love about sushi, rice balls, and beer?)! But I seriously could not believe how many well dressed people there are in T...
Ah I know wasn't it great? :) And I agree, it's such a surprising combination.
Movie night outfit
This is what I wore to go see Midnight in Paris the other night (which I loved)! Here's another, more subtle take on the mint + apricot combo. I just bought these shoes from Zara and I love them so much. They are so pretty, really comfortable, and were on sale- it's the best when that happens....
Great pic Leslie! LOVE it!
Color Me Pretty Time
Hello, I have a new Color Me Pretty column up on decor8, come join me there if you have time. Happy Monday, I will see you back here soon. xoleslie
Ah thank you so much Rachel! This is perfect :)
Summer outfit inspiration from Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids
It's been a long time since I laughed in a movie as much as I did during Bridesmaids. Not only is Kristen Wiig a comedic genius (a long established fact) who is brilliant in this movie, but her character has an amazing wardrobe. It's rare to see a movie character wearing such stylish, current ...
Hi Kathleen, I wish I knew where to find it! I've been looking for links to the exact items that she wore but haven't had any luck- if I do find out I'll update this post and let you know!

Thanks Devin, I'm so glad you liked the post! :) I also had googled the topic and since I couldn't find exact links to the pieces decided to try to put together some similar ones!

Hey Kelly!
Arcade Fire was AMAZING! The best performance of all of Coachella, maybe the best I've ever seen. So good :)
Packing for Coachella
Tomorrow I'm heading down to California and making my way to the Coachella Music Festival with my brother and one of my best friends. Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Mumford & Sons, Kanye, The Black Keys... and that's just the beginning. I'm so excited, I've been looking forward to this forever! P...
I agree, I think it would be extremely slimming and flattering! I definitely have a full on stripes obsession :)
Giveaway: Dress from Shabby Apple
Shabby Apple is a great online store that carries a huge variety of dresses in so many different styles and colours. I love their philosophy- they write that they want "a return to what dresses were always meant to be- a one piece outfit." I love those days when I can just put on a dress with ...
Wow, so beautiful!!

Clear Blue
Hello Friends, Hopefully spring is starting to peek around the corner at you. If not, I am sending you a few clear blue visual notes. xoleslie
Haha I remember when you went to the Neil Diamond concert in Toronto! :) Thanks Tante, love you xoxo
Saturday Concert
Tomorrow night I'm going with my best friend to see my favourite singer/musician- Pete Yorn. I have been wanting to see him for years- literally- so I can't wait. Plus it's at a really small venue...don't you love getting to see your favourite performers in more intimate settings like that? I'...
Thanks Jenna! :) I definitely will try my best! You have a great weekend as well!
