Let’s get one thing straight: there are no bad bodies.There are only clothes that don’t fit, don’t flatter, or don’t reflect who you are. If you’ve ever stood in a fitting room under harsh lighting and thought, “Nothing looks good on me,” I want you to know something important: It’s not you. It’s the clothes. As a stylist […]

Personal stylist perspective from the GTA + Toronto area It will come as a surprise to absolutely no one that I am not a sports girly. I did briefly jump on the Toronto Blue Jays bandwagon last fall (what a run!), but generally speaking, athletics and the associated wardrobe… just isn’t my jam. I’m far more likely […]

Last spring, I went looking for new sandals. I did what most of us do when we’re trying to “get it right.” I checked trends, browsed online, went into stores, tried on multiple options. I gave myself every opportunity to choose something different. And then I got home and realized… they were basically identical to […]

Last month I was so pleased to talk to Meaghan Wray at THE KIT to offer a stylist’s perspective on revenge dressing’s new dress code. Princess Di may have officially started the movement but from Britney Spears’ famous early aughts “Dump Him” tee to Lily Allen’s 2025 breakup album and strikingly confident press tour looks, […]

All in the Family Some of you may already know that I’m married to a photographer. Peter has been shooting for 20+ years and has had the pleasure (obligation?) of shooting me for the full duration of our relationship. Such a good sport! Beyond photographing me ad nauseam he has built an artistic practice I really admire […]

It’s All How You Slice It Earlier this week, I was enjoying a lovely little cara cara orange for dessert after supper. My son was still at the table and, kind of without thinking about it, I started to slice the rind as my mother did. She would score a circle at the top and bottom and […]

We’ve all heard it. It’s the January pitch to change who you are and embrace all that you can (maybe) be. Flip that calendar and flip your life! I mean, I get where they’re going. I love the idea of starting fresh. But is a new you just as easy as turning the calendar? It […]

And why that matters There’s a misconception about personal styling that I want to gently dismantle: that working with a stylist means handing over your identity and being told what to wear. That’s not how I work. Stylists should bring a refined eye. We’ve spent years studying proportion, fit, fabric, trend cycles, and how clothes function in […]

How it Started vs How it’s Going When identity shifts, wardrobes often lag behind. Whether it’s kids, career change, major life shift or just a change in your weight – it can be hard to find what to wear and (importantly) how after something changes. What we need from our wardrobe and how we want […]

Mom to the Rescue We’re here! The final push to Christmas! There are parties to attend, gifts to purchase, events to host and dinners to plan! And if you’re a GTA mom? I’m going to take a wild guess that the lion’s share of all that falls squarely on your shoulders. Look, I will be […]
