Even though I’ve lived outside of Ottawa for years now, I was born and raised there. I wasn’t always fond of it in the past, but every time I go back to visit, I make it my personal mission to find something new and exciting that reignites my love of the city. Over the years, I’ve seen such progress as it takes on an evolution towards morphing itself into a kick-ass major Canadian city.

Ottawa really is the place to be these days (and trust me, I never thought I would ever say that).

So, it only makes sense that I would love pop-up shops (a new trend that offers many benefits), especially when they feature fashion!
