If there’s one thing I love, it’s getting dressed up and going out on the town. But what I love even more is doing it for charity. Last week I volunteered at the Dress for Success Ottawa fundraiser S...
This past weekend, I made my way back to Bean Town to celebrate my sisters graduation from Boston U. In between the grad ceremony, dinner, and shopping, my sister insisted I go to the library.If any ...
The colour on the left S6 (PEACH) I hate change. There. I said it. But I am officially a convert. I’ve always been a MAC girl, but a few months ago I had the pleasure of meeting a makeup artist ...
I think for the most part many of us are on the pursuit of happiness. Now I’m not talking about the movie, or unattainable bliss or a utopia of sorts, but genuine happiness within and of oneself, wit...
Theres nothing like an EveryBody EveryWear Challenge to get Kat and I to dress in similar outfits on the same day, down to the blue and white stripes. This months Nautical theme has me getting...
Pardon the headline, but I had to make this fun! Working out while traveling can be a pain. Your normal routine may be out of whack, the hotel you’re staying in may not have a gym, or the equipment t...
When vacationing, nutrition can be the last thing on your mind, but there are a few things that can be done to ensure you don’t fall completely off the wagon. Being in a new place can often lead to u...
If you like trying new foods, Boston is such an experience for the tastebuds. During my visit, my sister and I went for brunch and 647, for if you can believe it, pop tarts. I must say only in Americ...
Mid-March I finally made the trip to visit my sister in Boston for the first time in the 4 years she has been there. I loved Boston and its probably one of the best American cities I’ve visited. I lo...
In early February, I decided to take a long overdue trip home to Toronto. My usual weekend trips were put on pause when right before Christmas, when I took a huge fall and ended up bruising my tailbo...
This outfit post was taken in the dead of winter. I feel…faded! Honestly this outfit is not inspiring, but is reflective of how the cold, drab and dreary days make me feel. No matter short this winte...
Golden Handcuffs. I use this phrase a lot. Not just when it comes to work, but exercise, and food too. They’re all just pieces of the puzzle and at times can be elements of freedom, but also a m...
Being a generally calm, collected, organised Virgo (yes, typical), the very thought of summer, (oh summer!) changes my outlook on not only the days ahead, but also the shenanigans I could get up to. ...
Some outfitsare just not as inspiring as you would like them to be. We all have pieces thatstand out (ex: tweed jacket), look wonderful on the hanger, and are fun andenticing. But pairing such a piec...
What girl doesnt like to be pampered and treated to some makeup goodies! Before I went to Boston…yes I went to Boston and no Ihaven’t posted my pictures…yet. I was approached by Lindsey from Make Up ...
Many things get lost in translation or in other subtletieslike trying to read a pair of lips across a crowded room. It’s like playing agame of broken telephone and missing the not only the gist, but ...

I have a serious case of munchies pretty much at the 2 or 3 PM mark. Usually a handful of Tamari flavoured almonds tide me over until my meal at 5 PM.But some days you just need a change. I found thi...
What a conundrum that one is - right? A few years back…ok…many years back tear-away pants were all the rage. Being a Human Kinetics Major, my go to wardrobe for school was sneakers, a t-shirt and of ...
Recently I was honoured by Elaine of Following Augustine with the Versatile Blogger Award. I am always humbled when someone thinks of me for these things : ) Elaine is absolutely wonderful and her bl...
I hate the cold. Have I mentioned that before? I can say with confidence I actually loathe it. It doesn’t help that I am constantly cold all year round (A/C is not my friend), neither is walking (mor...
Recently I had a discussion about my blog and why it was called "A Fine Balance". I tried to articulate how it was a journey - a personal journey on finding the balance in my own life, but th...
Gloomy, cold and dark mornings can be downright uninspiring. Today was one of those mornings. It was a day for the easy, "go-to" (by go-to I mean stolen borrowed) clothing from un...
Lovelies, Its been a year since I started this blog with my first post entitled Golden. Its amazing to see the evolution and metamorphosis of this blog since that time. a Big thank you goes to all of...
There once was a time when I wouldnt be caught dead wearing colour, let alone mustard yellow and blue together. In fact this get-up brings back some faded memories. It reminded me of kindergarten and...
There are some days where nothing but a LBD (little black dress) will do. This dress was a HAVE to buy after I saw a wonderful friend rock it to work almost 2 years ago! Whats even better is when tha...
This past Saturday, on a blistering cold day, Kat from a Second Glance and I decided to venture out and take some pictures of our snow gear. When I say cold I mean -30 Celsius! For my American friend...
