One of the highlights of my Ireland trip is being able to stay in a historic castle. I’m a HUGE history nerd, so getting to reside in a big piece of history for a week makes me super happy. The castle we are staying in was built in 1228 (but has since been transformed into … Continued

Wouldn’t You Like To Know It?
Growing up, my favorite treat my mother would make was her chocolate chip cookies. When I moved to New York at age 17, and during my reign as Miss USA, I would visit her on weekends and she would send me back to the city with a jar of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (The … Continued

The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
One of my lovely readers asked me to do a post offering suggestions of what I felt were stylish, appropriate, and in season for a fall or a winter wedding. While spring/summer weddings like to use a lot of creams, florals, yellows, and pinks, fall/winter weddings seem to feature deeper colors such as navy, blues, … Continued

I wasn’t kidding when I said that since I loved my white cape blazer from Nasty Gal so much I also got one in black! Just like the white blazer, the black blazer also goes with everything. It also adds a more professional business look if I really wanted. It also just looks super cool! … Continued

This past weekend, it was one of my closest friends’ birthday. Everyone was getting together to celebrate at a birthday dinner, so I chose to make a cake for the dessert course as part of my gift to her (since she is always going on about how much she loves my baking). Summer is prime … Continued

I have gotten several requests to do a hair post – so here it is! Ever since I dyed my hair red for a part in a school play when I was 15, my long red locks have pretty much become my trademark (psst.. my hair is naturally blonde!). While the shade of red has … Continued

I haven’t ridden a school bus in nearly 10 years, so when there was a school bus on T’s set the other day I may have gotten a little excited (don’t worry guys, the school bus wasn’t for the show!). It brought back so many memories of my childhood – boarding the school bus in … Continued

I have been wearing this white maxi dress from Asos pretty much nonstop all summer! I am usually not a fan of mesh material but with this dress it adds a little texture to the bottom, and I love the way it moves and flows! This is the perfect dress for summer whether it’s for … Continued

Whimsical White Dress
Yesterday I received tons of compliments on my royal blue maxi dress from Asos (thanks everyone!). I also noticed that at one point yesterday, the dress went out of stock (If that happens, keep checking back.

Never Maxi-ed Out!
I first noticed this blue maxi dress on Asos while searching for outfits for the Bahamas. While the long sleeves would have been too hot in the Bahamas, it completely works for this mild summer eastern Canada is having this year. I am OBSESSED with the sleeves. Besides the color, the cuffs and extra material … Continued
