The 2023 Levis Pride Collection

I guess the best way to start off this blog post is to define the term allyship and it’s importance to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Why? Because amid a very busy Pride month I have born witness to a lot of performative allyship / marketing, extreme levels of hate towards our community, and have even had brand partners ask me to “tone it down” to avoid controversary. And this year I even received death threats in the comments section on multiple social media posts.

In 2023.

So yeah, I think it’s important that we talk about this a little more.

Have You Ever Just NEEDED an Item of Clothing?

Over the years I have been very lucky to work with brands making a difference in the world, and ones that hold a special place in my heart. I’ve told the story about my first job being at McDonald’s more times than I can count. Funny because having just started a new role in Ottawa I still think back fondly on the values it taught me and the skills I use all these years later. With #McHappyDay around the corner on May 11th, this year McDonald’s took the cool factor to a whole new level and I’m essentially salivating at the thought of NEEDING these limited edition collaboration pieces in my life before they sell out.

It’s Time To Start Thinking About Warm Coats Again

While most of us are finally getting settled into the idea of sweater weather, any good Canadian knows that the colder weather is going to get much colder in no time at all. While I sit at the new dinning room table in our home in Ottawa, I am mulling over the photos from a recent event I wasn’t able to join Julio for in Toronto. I don’t often go so far as to bring fashion previews to you all here on the blog, but I was so in love with what I saw that I realized this may be the time to start thinking about to really make a statement with your wardrobe this season. Here’s how I am hoping to if all goes well – after all my birthday is just around the corner!

When You Wish Upon A Star

Well hello hello my friends. I hope that you’re all staying warm and enjoying the fact that Spring is (almost) right around the corner. Although I love a picturesque Canadian winter, I can say that I’m personally coming to the end of this year’s admiration of the colder weather.

With a new season around the corner, it’s also time to start thinking of new items for my wardrobe. While I have never claimed to be a fashionista, I am very lucky to have become a fan of collaborations and brands that speak to me and my busy life. You’ll have seen that (slowly) over the years I have really taken to dressing my best with the help of some spectacular brands. So when I found out about the newly launched Disney x Coach Collection, to say I was excited would be an understatement!
