Fashion, style, and beauty have always been a great source of fun and creativity for me. In-fact, it’s why I started my blog a few years ago. I had felt like I was just going through the motions of my life and not really enjoying it.
 
It’s easy to get trapped in the mundane tasks of daily life – wake up, go to work, work out, watch TV, bed time – an so my love of style makes my life feel a bit more bright and fun.
 
Today I am talking about a few trends I love for fall, so scroll through to see how you can add a bit more fun into your life + style with these funky styles!

While I am a summer girl at heart, there is no time of year that is better for fashion than fall. I love the richer and more decadent colour palettes, the look of cozy scarves, and the comfort of thick luxurious knit sweaters. This year I am particularly excited for fall fashion as I’ve really liked some of the trends that have hit the runways. I can’t wait to see some of these trends hit the stores:
 
Ponchos + Capes:  Staying cozy this fall and winter won’t just be easy, it’ll look completely chic. Ponchos and Capes have been making a huge comeback, and I kind of love it. These warm layers have a retro flare to them while also keeping you bundled against the cold.
 
Chunky Heels: This is one trend I couldn’t be happier about because I can’t stand the feeling of teetering on teeny tiny heels. Chunky heels have been a hot trend over the last year, and it’s one I am hoping is here to stay.
 
High Waist Jeans: I’m a huge fan of a throwback trend, and I am particularly fond of the high waist jeans that I’ve been seeing everywhere.

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
