Live in linen

I live in linen and have such a love affair with this beautiful, natural fabric that I wanted to chat about what makes linen so special. We’ll talk about everything, including creases and care, why the price tag, and I’ll also share some of my favourite linen pieces to have and to own.

Shop the cosiest winter knits

Before H&M rolled into the country, my favourite places to shop for the cosiest winter knits were at Zara and Country Road. But this season, I’m adding H&M (my fave place to shop) into my favourites selection, because their knitwear is just so friggin gorgeous!

I like to buy quality knitwear and usually look at the label to find ones that have at least some natural fibres in the mix, and I think H&M has hit the spot this season with some of their knits. And without letting go of my trusted favourites (ZARA and Country Road), today I’m showing you gals my fave pics from all three.

Home For the Holidays

Do you decorate your home for the holidays? I’m pretty basic, in that I usually just put up a tree, maybe a wreath on the front door and that’s about it. I know some people go all out with decor, but I’m more on the simplistic side. This season however, I’ve seen a ton of cute festive home-wear that’s inspired me to maybe take it up a notch.
