We’ve had a few burst of beautiful sunshine and bright brisk days, but for the most part – it’s been freezing cold and raining. While it may not totally feel like spring yet in Vancouver, I am still ready to dive into spring fashion and beauty.  I don’t know about you – but this winter felt long to me. It felt like it just kept dragging on – one nasty snowstorm after the another. So, as of March 20th, I decided it was time to begin transitioning my wardrobe over – rain, or shine. The fact is that spring style doesn’t have to mean ignoring the cold. There are ways to begin transitioning your style over without losing all the warmth in your daily style. So, if you’re ready to brighten up your look for spring than scroll on through to find 5 Easy Ways to Begin Transitioning Your Wardrobe into Spring. vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog, vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, top fashion blogs, fashion trends 2016, spring fashion 2016, 2016 fashion trends, spring 2016 fashion trends, 2016 spring fashion, spring 2016 fashion, 2016 spring fashion trends, spring fashion trends 2016, summer fashion trends 2016, spring outfits 2016vancouver style blog, vancouver fashion blog, vancouver blog, vancouver fashion bloggers, best vancouver fashion blog, fashion blog, vancouver style blogger, vancouver style bloggers, vancouver lifestyle blog, vancouver travel blog, canadian fashion blog, canadian style blog, canadian travel blog,popular fashion blog, popular style blog, top fashion blogs, fashion trends 2016, spring fashion 2016, 2016 fashion trends, spring 2016 fashion trends, 2016 spring fashion, spring 2016 fashion, 2016 spring fashion trends, spring fashion trends 2016, summer fashion trends 2016, spring outfits 2016

Fresh details

There’s nothing that freshens up your style like new accessories. For example, rather than wearing your heavy plaid scarf, try wearing a floral one instead. Simple changes like this are A) inexpensive, and B) totally fool proof! They’ll make your style appear more refreshed and spring-ready without you needing to change your entire wardrobe. One way I am changing my accessories is with a new fresh pair of frames. Since I wear glasses every day, glasses are an essential part of my style and they are the one major accessory that I like to have a few options on hand. This way if I ever feel tired of my look, I simply switch my glasses. The glasses I am wearing today are the Derek Cardigan 7011 from Clearly.ca, they have a dark tortoise shell half-frame that is met with sleek gold metal. These frames have a sophisticated vibe to them and remind me of retro journalists.

Ripped denim

If there’s one denim style that’s seemed to become the must-have this year, it’s ripped and distressed jeans. For years, I’ve loved ripped denim – and back in my “punky” high school days, I wore ripped denim exclusively. So for me, this trend is almost nostalgic feeling. One thing that I really enjoy about ripped denim, in general, is that it adds a unique element of visual interest to a look. Even when you’re wearing a very simple and casual look, distressed make it look a bit more styled and interesting.

Brightened Beauty

Another easy way to update your style and look for spring is with your makeup look. Bring out your brighter lipsticks, pinky blushes, and bold nail colours and invite spring into our beauty routine. One way I am brightening up my beauty routine is with my nails. Instead of going for a simple or muted tone, I decided to go with a bold red polish. This polish colour is by CND and is called “Guava“,  and I got my nails done at Onyx Aesthetics Studio. Psst – I also recently shared a 5 minute fresh and flawless makeup tutorial which is PERFECT for spring!

Open Toes or Open Heels

While this won’t work on cold rainy days, on the sunnier ones wearing open toe or open heel shoes can really make a look appear “spring ready”. The fact is, during the winter open-toed shoes are a 100% no-go, so by bringing them out of hibernation, you’re really putting that spring-spin on your style. Now we just need to make sure our feet are ready for open toed shoes! #HelloPedicures Stripes

[AD] It drives me a bit crazy when I see littered [AD] It drives me a bit crazy when I see littered single-use items, like water bottles, on hiking trails. Single-use items are used for a short time, but they have a lasting impact on our environment. I believe nature is sacred and we need to cherish it, support it, and respect it. That’s why when I go on a hike I always make sure to bring my reusable water bottle.

Carrying a reusable water bottle is a simple Superhabit that you can implement anywhere you go! So this summer stay hydrated and stay environmentally responsible with a reusable water bottle! #WhatsYourSuperhabit
[ AD ] What is your favourite summertime activity? [ AD ] What is your favourite summertime activity? One of my top favourites: Picnicking! I love heading outdoors with a few delicious treats and soaking up some sunshine. Picnicking in a responsible and environmentally conscious way is really important to me and that’s why I implement easy Superhabits - like using reusable containers, water bottles, and glassware - whenever I head outdoors.

“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💛
