Blogger Fashion Week on Trend Trunk

You've heard about this, right? Trend Trunk rose to fame last month after their winning business concept was featured on Dragons' Den and has quickly become one of Canada's leading online shopping destinations, with features on the Marilyn Denis Show and CityLine. Basically, you sell what's in your closet, shop other people's closets, and Trend Trunk handles all the shipping for you - meaning no hassle and no shady in-person meet-ups. Simple!

When Trend Trunk asked me to be a part of their first ever Blogger Fashion Week, I was in. I mean, shopping is my job and so I tend to amass a lot of extra clothes, shoes and handbags. Call it an occupational hazard. A blissful hazard, mind you, but...

So yes, Blogger Fashion Week starts today and runs until Dec 15th, with new and pre­loved fashions and accessories from the closets of bloggers from all over Canada. Every day of Blogger Fashion Week will feature 10 new closets which will be unlocked and ready to be shopped! A few of us bloggers will donate some proceeds from the sale to our favourite non­profit or charity through Trend Trunks’ Closets & Causes Program.

My closet will be featured this Thursday but you can pre-shop it now at https://www.trendtrunk.com/RealLifeRunway (I sold a 3.1 Phillip Lim mini satchel 5 minutes after posting but don't worry - I have more sweet surprises in store).

Happy shopping! My closet and I thank you.

Fête Accomplie

Cutest Clutch in the Land. Not online yet but in stores ($50) at ALDO Accessories.

I'm not gonna lie;  I don't have that many reasons to justify a clutch like this one. With two toddlers in the hizzy, we're more about cookie-baking playdates than fabulous fêtes these days. But still...I mean, really...there must be somewhere I can wear this perfect little clutch. The Superstore? Drop-off? Would it actually even fit my wallet? Pearls, silver balls and sea urchin spikes don't count sensibility as their M.O., which as it turns out, is precisely the point. Um, Visa? Can you handle this one little selfish want?

Girls love pretty things. We just do. And while I'm sure there's a woman or two out there who doesn't like sparkles and shoe shopping, we all like to see beautiful things under the tree. Whether it's a yummy scented hand cream, a gorgeous cookbook or a perfectly lovely handbag, I've rounded up some of the prettiest presents out there to bring joy to every woman in your life. And ladies, if you see something you adore here, you just might want to forward this guide on as a subtle little wink wink, nudge nudge in the right direction.

Only 3 weeks until the big day. Can you believe it?!
