I put out a call on Instagram to ask the people what they wanted to see more of on the blog. Several folks weighed in requesting more dinner party ideas. Well, if you know me at all, you know I *LOVE* a good tablescape and curated dining experience. From the playlist to the menu to…

Ladylike Summer Style
I’m a Joan. The Mad Men character is definitely one of my style icons. I try not to fall hard for any trends, most of the time “what the kids are wearing” makes me feel old and stodgy, frankly, I just don’t get it. If someone could explain Billie Eilish to me, that would be…
Casual Summer Style
I’ve been wanting to introduce style content to the blog for some time now. All photos herein were captured by the talented Isabel Estabrook of Brook Media. We had initially planned for a shoot in mid-March, but as luck and COVID-19 would have it, it was a few months before we had the opportunity to…
Living Room Reveal
I finally got around to capturing the transformation of my living room and kitchen so I am here today delivering some fresh home decor content. As you can see, I’m not afraid of colour. When I came to look at the condo with my realtor, the space was crowded with oversized brown leather couches and…
Dining Room Reveal
As you may have guessed, I’m not doing much entertaining these days but I’m always looking for an opportunity to craft a beautiful tablescape. I ordered some new table linens and accessories before we were locked down and wanted to pull them all together in a curated dining design that would accentuate the colour palette…
Home Bar Essentials
One of the most common questions I get is, “What do I need in my home bar?” I’ve been getting a lot more of these questions lately since I started hosting my nightly virtual happy hour on Instagram. In the interest of taking some of the guesswork out of the art of building a well-curated…
Empire State Sipper
I’m very excited to announce that I will soon be introducing fashion content to the blog. Today’s post is kind of dipping my toe in the water, a mix of fashion, some photos featuring moi, and a delicious cocktail recipe. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I often share…
Home Office Makeover
My condo is a one bedroom with a den. To be honest, I’m not really sure what the intent of a “den” is supposed to be and it seems the previous owners didn’t either. The den is directly on your right as you enter the condo but was just an assortment of random furniture and…
Galentine’s Day Ideas
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to more fully appreciate the women in my life. I’m less concerned about chasing men or being on someone’s arm and much more enamoured with the idea of surrounding myself with brilliant, compassionate, hilarious, talented, and beautiful women who bring joy to my life in a myriad of ways….
How to Succeed at Whole30
I successfully completed the Whole30 challenge and I’m here to tell you how you can do the same (if you’re so inclined). If you don’t know what I’m talking about, Whole30 is an elimination diet designed to remove certain food groups and then reintroduce them after a period to identify possible food sensitivities. What’s eliminated…
