Published: October 20, 2012 | 12:16

Jessica De Ruiter's Basic Essentials lookbook for Shopbop is awesome. I would wear every item she lists here. They are very classic, well tailored, timeless pieces. Among my favourites are the 3.1 Philip Lim pointy flats, BLK Denim Wool Blazer, Maison Scotch Tailored Camel Coat, and the Tibi Tess Jacquard Pencil Skirt.....Who am I kidding? They are all my favourites! Read Shopbop's full interview with Jessica here.

Sunshine in the Snowstorm . . .

Published: February 01, 2011 | 17:25

The next day or two in Ontario is guaranteed to be a cold & snowy mess. We are supposed to get hit with a blizzard of 20-30 cms of snow. I have lots of school work to keep me sufficiently occupied if the storm doesn't allow me to make it to my office tomorrow, but I need a little sunshine to brighten these wintery days . . . .

These wicker ottoman's in the living room over at The Brick House are such a find! They are so different and add so much texture to an already fantastic space. I love it when a neutral can add that much punch!

Finally a new issue of Elle Decor landed on my doorstep this evening! It has been far too long. The last issue was a December / January that arrived mid-November. I was beginning to worry that the magazine might be in trouble when February wasn't arriving. I'm glad that my fears were unsubstantiated!

The Style Roundups on Refinery 29 are always fantastic - it just takes a quick look through to get inspired. Looking through their picks of casual blazers for spring, I fell for this Rory Beca 'Sofia' Lace Blazer. Sooooo sweet, soft, feminine, and yet still casual.

Dressing for Work

Published: December 03, 2010 | 11:52

This week has been a whirlwind. In with December came lots of winter weather and a seasonable sickness! I have the most terrible cold and feel completely run down. I was thinking today about how usually at this time of year I feel in a bit of a rut with my workwear. I start to feel as if I'm on a constant rotation of the same 5 outfits and, as a result, I feel a little sloppy and very boring. Nothing makes me feel quite as sharp as a new jacket or blazer, so I set my sights on finding a few that would be functional and fashionable. Here's what I came up with!

Wilfred Knit Tweed Jacket available at Aritzia.

Elizabeth and James Bow Tie Blazer available at Nordstrom.

Gap Boucle Peacoat available in stores and online. I tried this on last week and couldn't get over how lovely it was. I would be able to wear it in the winter as a blazer and in the spring as a light jacket. A very versatile piece.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Reilly Herringbone Blazer available at Shop Bop.

Alexander Wang Collarless Felt Blazer available at Nordstorm.

Banana Republic Cotton Sweater Jacket currently on sale in the online shop.

T by Alexander Wang Double Breasted Knit Jacket available at Nordstrom.

Classics

There are a few classic, timeless pieces that are worth making the investment, as they will always be practical and stylish.

Watches:
I don't usually wear a watch, but on occasion I see one that I really love and I get the urge to have one. In most cases, the ones I like are actually Men's watches - with big faces and a leather strap. This one caught my eye today.

I can never get enough of blazers. I don't own a creamy coloured one though and I love the one Gwyneth Paltrow is wearing in this photo.

Boots:

A great pair of leather boots can do wonders for any outfit. I like ones that hit at the knee, are closefitting - not too loose or slouchy, but without a heel. These Loeffler Randall ones are great!

And these Lanvin ones have just enough slouch!

Leather Bags:

Chloe Lily Pouch

Mulberry Bayswater Bag
