Arm the Animals is the tee shirt designs for animal activism that we were all waiting for. 

Their tees are cute, but powerful. Trendy, but makes you think about your actions. There is no reason why you cannot rock a good cause wearing a super cool tee, it doesn't have to be graphic to get attention! I actually love how fashion forward these tees are. They fit right into any Instagram aesthetic, and definitely have the power to encourage positive conversations about animal welfare.   

The reasons why I love these tees are endless, so is the amount of amazing tees available. Their mission is to raise awareness and funds while providing stellar support for animal welfare organizations.

I styled two tee shirts into two completely different outfits (one super casual, one more dressed up), which you can see below. ATA makes it super easy to incorporate activism and fashion.

One of my favourite things about Spring/Summer is the abundance of flowers that surround me. 

I have dedicated every Friday to post a photo of flowers on Instagram. It makes me insanely happy and nothing brings me as much joy as planting flowers and watching them grow, or arranging a gorgeous bouquet. 

Lupins are considered to be weeds and grow in ditches or on the side of the highway. They always bring me back to Summer days as a child visiting the East Coast of Canada, and now that I live on the East Coast of Canada I can enjoy the lovely lupins whenever I am on a drive with my Vespa or walking around. 

Peonies are one of my favourite flowers, they are very hard to find around where I live, but every year I manage to get my hands on some lovely pink blooms. My Mom has a gorgeous peony bush at her house, and I planted one at my old house too! 

Check out my lupin/peonies from this week! 

Happy floral Friday, babes!

I am the type of woman who loves to wear dresses. I have always loved dresses. It's difficult in the Winter months to wear dresses even if I have fleece tights to wear underneath. Canada has such freezing, arctic temperatures that I basically freeze while wearing a parka and snow pants, so you can imagine how it is when I wear tights and a dress. 

But alas -  June is here. Which means I have absolutely no excuse to not pull out my favourite dresses and finally shave my legs. Although, I did wake up to -2 degree weather this morning - but we won't focus on the negative. 

I was lusting after this TopShop striped dress and have seen it all over the 'gram for the past couple months. Yellow is super trendy right now, and yellow has been one of my favourite colours to wear since I can remember. I was a little bit anxious about the fit of this dress as I had to order it online. 

I shouldn't have worried. It fit like a dream. I ordered a 16UK just to be sure it wouldn't be too tight. I did have some weight gain over the past year due to PCOS (hormonal issues) and have been very sad about the fit of some of my Summer clothing. Perfect excuse to go shopping!

This dress is currently sold out, but if you live in Canada you can find it on the Hudson's Bay website for 95$!

One thing that makes me the absolute happiest is seeing flowers and trees in bloom in May/June. I discovered such beautiful trees in my neighbourhood and it really is wonderful when you are walking around or driving and are blown away by the bright colours of the blooms!

I am going to be sharing photos of flowers - either arrangements I have made or planted flowers all Summer long on my Instagram feed. Every Friday with be Floral Friday - so get excited for all things beautiful. 

A little known fact about me is that I used to work at a greenhouse. It was my most favourite job ever. I was the custom floral designer. I custom designed and planted flowers for customers and it gave me so much joy and creative freedom that I need in my life. 

Here are some photos of blossoms to lighten your Friday!
