If I Could have My Way, Everything Would be Machine …

If I could have my way everything would be machine washable. There would be none of this “hand wash only” crap, or even worse.. the dreaded “dry clean only”. I’m the worst when it comes to clothes that are supposed to be dry clean only. I don’t know if it’s the fact that I can’t justify spending $20 just to clean a blazer (wait a second, I already spent $200 on this and now I have to spend $20 every few months to clean it?), or the fact that I have to actually go out of my way to not…

Why I bit the Bullet and Upgraded my Camera Lens

If I were to ask you do you remember this shoot that I did with my friend Michael, you would probably say something along the lines of “yes Kirsten, you’ve only referenced that exact shoot 853 times in other posts since the day you posted it”. And it’s true. I’ve probably referenced that shoot at least a handful of times because that shoot was really a turning point for me as a blogger, and it was because of that shoot that I am no longer using a phone camera for my photos (which I was doing before, cringe). Getting a “real”…

Bell Sleeves & Blush Tones

I’m a very forgetful person. Over Christmas break when my family and I went up Silverstar mountain to snap some photos for my blog, I forgot my memory card at home. Thank god I realized before we made it up the mountain because we had to make a pit stop at Staples on the way so that I could get a new one. Had I not realized till we got there, I would have had a very unhappy family (because I was the one who had pushed so hard to go up there for photos in the first place) and…

The Beauty Product You Need: Laura Mercier Radiance Primer

Until last year I was the kind of girl that didn’t even wear foundation on my face. The most I ever wore on my skin was lotion and powder because (thankfully) I happen to have pretty good skin and I always thought it was best to not put anything on it. In the past year I started wearing foundation because I fell in love with the “flawless” look it gave me. Even though my skin is great, foundation made it look that much better, and since it wasn’t causing acne or anything negative why the heck wouldn’t I wear it…

Trading my Heels in for Converse

I love dressing up, always have, always will. I am definitely one of those girls who is always overdressed rather than underdressed. I live for those fancy events where I get to rock a gown and some sky high heels, or a cocktail dress at the very least. But even a girl who loves dressing up needs to take a break from her skirt and heels in favour of something a little more comfortable. This Saturday was one of those days for me. After an incredibly long and busy week, my feet were sore, I was tired, it was absolutely…
