For Your Health: Smoothies

I have been drinking smoothies by the barrel lately, they're so good for you (depending what you put in them) and they're a great light and refreshing snack!  Here's two of my recent favorites:


Mango Coconut Smoothie
-1 inch of soy milk (or regular milk if you prefer)
-1-2 handfuls of spinach
-1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) mango
-2 Tbsp. Greek yogurt
-1 heaped Tsp. shredded coconut
-1 Tsp. chia seeds


Very Berry Smoothie:
-1 inch water in your blender
-1-2 handfuls of spinach
-1/2 cup frozen berry blend
-1 Tsp. honey
-1 Tsp. flax seeds

Yum yum yum!!  Being healthy CAN taste soooooo good ;)

Wore Stories: Pink Pants

I think it's safe to say it's FINALLY Spring here!!!  Those of you who are in Manitoba know what I mean when I say it has felt like forever for Winter to be over!  Finally the snow has mostly melted and I'm busting out the colored pants!

Back to School: Ladies Wear

Some of you may know already that I'm taking Apparel Design at Red River College in the city!  It's been SO much fun, I'm sad this year is nearly over!

This last term we are faced with the challenge of designing original designs and following them to completion: Sketch the idea, create the pattern, sew the garment.  I'm so proud with how my first attempt turned out:


This next photo is the class where we showed what we'd made along with the pattern pieces.


Next is kids wear, and I'm so excited to make clothing for my daring little niece!  Stay tuned....

Wore Stories: A Whole Lotta Dots


 It's still Winter out there, but Spring is coming, I just know it!  The snow is super bright, hence the squinting, but you understand ;)


I wore this to Apparel Design class this week, I love to put outfits together for that class since it is all about fashion!  Not to mention most other nights I am holed up in my sewing studio working on things which usually means jeans and a sweater.




Outfit details:
Boots: George // Jeans: Joe Fresh // Tunic: Modcloth // Blazer: Sirens // Necklace: Gifted

This outfit was styled around this beautiful new tunic I got from Modcloth!  It is so perfect for Spring, I can't wait to try it with leggings and cute heels or flats!

Etsy Update

Woohoo!! Finally an Etsy update!  You have no idea how much I ache to list on Etsy when I don't have time to do so!  BUT I found a wondrous thing, and that is the Etsy app where you can upload photos straight to the app to list items.  BAM-way less time than editing on my computer and when you don't have a lot of time like I don't right now, this is the best way to get listings up fast.

I've got a bunch of new items, some renewed items and more items on the way!  Check it out.
