Today I'm sharing with you a Spring Lookbook of my picks! I'm so excited the warmer weather is finally upon us and am actually able to wear these looks outdoors (and film outside too!). You might have already seen a couple of these looks in outfit posts because I'm so excited about the pieces. As always, thanks for watching! xo

As I mentioned yesterday, on Saturday, Marco and I took a mini road trip to the US to get his new tires and do some minor shopping while we waited. I am bringing you guys along for the full day plus randomness when we got home and a mini haul.
Thanks for watching! xo
Today I'm sharing the top five trends for Spring, and more, plus my recent finds at Place d'Orleans. I am so excited that the warmer weather is finally upon us and we can shed a few layers. Spring is the perfect time to re-vamp your style so if you're looking to step a little outside your comfort zone, look no further.
I'm having some issues with embedding the video so if it's now showing up, you can watch it here.

Today I'm sharing with you the purchases I made in Las Vegas. I didn't do a ton of shopping, but couldn't not pick anything up! When in Rome, right?
My favourites are definitely the Marshalls finds and I can't wait to rock that kimono once the weather gets a tad warmer (we are still sitting at -20C, wth!).

Today I'm sharing with you some new pieces I picked up at Place d'Orleans that have me excited for Spring--but then again, who isn't!?--and warmer months.
I will be continuing to work with PDO this year, which I'm really excited about and we have some cool videos planned and a few other exciting surprises up our sleeves.
As always, thanks so much for watching! xo

Today I'm sharing a really simple and easy way to curl your hair: with tinfoil!
I know this sounds a little odd, and it is, believe me, but it works! If you're not a pro with a curling iron or only have 15 minutes to whip up some curls, this tutorial is for you.

Hi ladies! Today I'm sharing with you this pretty pulled apart fishtail braid. You can leave it out or pull it back for a half-undo look.
I have been loving braids and fishtails lately and while they take a minute to get the hang of, practice makes perfect (and the look is a little undone and messy anyway!).
If you'd like to see how I created this look, click below for the video...
Valentine's Day is this weekend, and whether you have a man in your life or not, I'm showing you how to re-create this cool pulled-apart Dutch braid.
I'm not sure what our plans for Saturday are, last year I spent the day at Place d'Orleans spreading the love and then Marco took me out to dinner at a restaurant we like. This year, I would really love to stay home for a home-cooked meal; preferably not by me! Ha!
Hope you enjoy the tutorial and leave me a comment down below letting me know what your plans are.

Today I wanted to do a quick check-in on my New Years Resolutions. We are coming to the end of our first month of 2015 and I have made some head way...
I know Christmas seems like so long ago but wanted to share a few of my favourite gifts I received; also, a bunch of the clothing items are still available (and some on sale too!) so wanted to link those down below.
I tend to shop my closet a lot for my outfit posts and am not the best at sharing my newest items when they are still available so thought this would be a great opportunity to grab a few of the items I got if you love them as much as I do.
Thanks for watching!

If you're an acrylic nail lover, you know the deal: the initial mani lasts a week and then the re-growth is apparent or maybe you're just bored and in need of a polish change.
Today I'm showing you how I paint my acrylic nails; it's super simply but I am sharing one crucial tip in the video below that will make or break your mani. Click play to check it out!
Today I'm sharing my Holiday Lookbook for 2014. I spent a lot of time prepping, filming and editing and can say it's one of my best videos to date!
In this video I show you five very different outfits for the holidays and New Years Eve and where you can buy them. You'll have to watch the video to find out which one is my favourite but it might not be what you'd expect. Hope you enjoy & thank you for watching! xo

This year I have decided to partake in Vlogmas or Vlogcember which is essentially vlogging everyday until Christmas. I tried last year but gave up after a couple days because it is a bit of a commitment filming your day and editing it altogether at night. However, it's been a fun process so far and I love watching others so here we are. Additionally I can imagine it will be nice to look back watch in a year or two from now, just as it is re-reading older blog posts.
I have been consistent with my uploads and you can see all the videos here under my 'Vlogmas' playlist. If you'd like to check out my other fashion, hair, make-up and lifestyle videos you can do so on my YouTube channel (I'm acoest1984).

The third and final part of my trip to Barbados last month. In this video we visit the Limegrove outdoor shopping centre, the west coast, Surf Side Beach and more. As always, thanks for watching!

Today I'm sharing part one of our Barbados video recap. We spent seven glorious days on the rock and saw and did so much. Since I took over 200 video clips, I've split up the video into three parts to keep it interesting. In part one you'll see where we stayed, our 'home' beach, hitting a popular touristy spot, trying out Bajan fast food and more!

We are in full swing Fall here in Ottawa so I've picked up a bunch of items for my favourite season. This time of year is all about layers, dark and moody colours and natural materials like suede and knits. Check out my newest video on Fall fashion above to see what I scored.

Filming videos and editing them is something I love to do but it's rarely seamless so I compiled a quick video with a few outtakes from the last year to laugh at.
Thanks for watching!
See all my videos here.
My closet-office room is the second bedroom in our condo and was built using the Ikea Stolmen system, which is completely customized to whatever you like.
We chose to go with three sections as it was important for me to have lots of hanging space for tops and a longer hanging area for dresses. I needed shelves for folded pants and accessories, and then we put shelves across the top to house shoes.
The initial plan was to install drawers but they were too deep so we returned them and picked up the cubbies instead. I had the faux black leather boxes already (from Loblaws) which fit perfectly into the spaces.
Overall the build took a few days and turned out great. I use the built-in closet in the room for jackets, skirts and to tuck away sweat pants, leggings, swimsuits in various boxes, etc. I recently added a mirror and artwork to the room too so it's really coming together and will share more updates soon.
If you're already subscribed to my YouTube channel, you've already seen this video; I upload new videos every week too, so worth clicking over. However, if you haven't seen this, here is a quickie two-minute recap of my trip to New York City this month.
