Investment 100 - Spend or Save : Bag Theory


Satchels are a great accessory and an essential in my closet. They are versatile, easy to carry, go with almost anything and can be worn day or night. I am absolutely loving the light leather and studded look in these satchels. It is the perfect transition piece for spring to summer.  These satchels can be found in so many varying prices ranging from very high end to almost nothing at all. Which begs me to ask what the right price to pay for an everyday accessory is?

What do you think, would you spend or save?

Investment 100 - Spend or Save : Lace Theory


Lace is a huge trend this year and has been popping up everywhere.  I like that these shirts take lace to a different level; they go beyond the classic dainty patterns with modest colours and add in a flush of bright neon.  Both shirts would work as great statement pieces in an outfit and could be dressed up or down. 

With a massive price difference, what do you think, would you spend or save?

Outfitting 100 - Everyday Style: Canadian Tuxedo



Growing up in a city and family with a huge western influence cowgirl boots become a necessity in your closet. I own way to many pairs in many different styles and just can't seem to stop buying them.  The instant I saw these Ariat boots I fell in love with them and couldn't resist adding them to my collection of boots. So what better way to wear them than with a good ol' laid back Canadian tuxedo.

Investment 100 - Spend or Save: Shoe Theory



When I first saw these shoes pop up at Anthropologie I immediately wanted them; they are so unique, come in a gorgeous colour and they aren't sky high. Upon researching further I found a very, and I mean very, similar pair at Ruche for under half the price. This brought me to ask myself which to buy, the ones I originally fell for or the very similar pair at a fraction of the price.
