Black Cape – Lavish Alice | Leather Skirt – Forever 21 | Fringed Shoes – Steve Madden | Broach – Chanel | Clutch – Chanel

 

 

Can I tell you how much I loved feeling like a superhero in this amazing cape! For my first Toronto Fashion Week look I chose this pretty black Lavish Alice cape top, and I paired it with my leather skirt from Forever 21.

My new fringed Steve Madden cobalt blue shoes are so comfortable, and I love all of the fringe. There is so much fringe!!

Finally I finished off the outfit with my coveted Chanel broach and my quilted Chanel clutch.

I normally don’t like wearing all black, but when a cape and some bright blue shoes are involved, black works for me!

Stay tuned for a couple more of Toronto Fashion Week looks coming this week!

Lace Bell Sleeve Dress – AEO | Fringed Boots – Minnetonka | Wool Hat – H&M | Infinity Necklace – H&M (similar)
I love dressing a little boho sometimes, and when I saw this dress at AEO I was excited because it had sleeves! I love wearing dresses, which means I usually end up freezing because I wear them year-round. When I saw this one with sleeves I was excited because it was the perfect transitional dress to go from winter to spring.

Another great perk of this dress is that where it laces up there is a removable piece if you want to show a bit more skin. I was a little chilly last Saturday so I kept that little patch in!

I chose to accesorize with a great floppy hat from H&M which kept my head surprisingly warm, and my fringed Minnetonka’s seemed to go perfectly.

I also had a French Vanilla Frappucino in tow which I highly recommend as a Saturday afternoon pick-me-up!

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

I did a little shopping this weekend and picked up this very pretty embroidered dress from Free People that is so comfy! Although I’m sure it would look even prettier somewhere with palm trees in the background, for now I can wear it on the blog and pack it away for warmer spring temperatures.

The embroidery is my favourite part. It’s really a gorgeous dress up close, and the fit is my favourite part. I love the way it hangs, and the way it looks when it gets swept up in the wind.

I cannot wait to wear this dress with some nude gladiator sandals (which I don’t have just yet, but am on the hunt for), and preferably a drink in hand as well.

Have a great week everyone!

Making My Domestic Life A Breeze with Clorox Disinfecting ToiletWand Toilet Cleaning System & Refills

Making My Domestic Life A Breeze with Clorox Disinfecting ToiletWand Toilet Cleaning System & Refills

There’s one topic that I have never covered on the blog, and it’s actually an unexpected one since I’m a lifestyle blogger! I’ve never talked about cleaning. And why you might ask? Well, it’s not exactly my favourite topic!

Let me give you an idea on how I feel about the subject – when my soon-to-be husband and I bought our first house, one of my first panicked thoughts was “does moving in together mean I need to do grown up things like clean the sinks and scrub toilets?”.

Unfortunately the answer to that question I learned was yes, but let me tell you it’s something I don’t enjoy or excel at in any way!

My least favourite thing to clean is the toilet, which is why I was so happy to say goodbye to my old toilet brush and give the new Clorox Disinfecting ToiletWand Toilet Cleaning System and Refills a try!

 

Making My Domestic Life A Breeze with Clorox Disinfecting ToiletWand Toilet Cleaning System & Refills

The new Clorox Disinfecting ToiletWand Toilet Cleaning System is perfect for a girl like me who gets squeamish around those old gross toilet brushes. Each starter kit comes with one Disinfecting ToiletWand Handle, a storage caddy, and 6 disposable cleaning head refills.

The storage caddy is sleek and looks so much better in my bathroom than my old toilet brush!

The wand clicks right into the cleaning heads stored inside the caddy, then all I need to do is scrub my toilet and toss away the cleaning head. I don’t even need to get my manicure dirty because the cleaning head pops off with the push of a button, and the handle stores back into the caddy.

When it comes to cleaning the word “easy” comes to mind as one my main priorities, and the Clorox Disinfecting ToiletWand Toilet Cleaning System is just that. Each cleaning head is pre-loaded with Clorox toilet bowl cleaner which removes stains and kills 99% of germs and bacteria. Thats one more extra cleaning product I don’t need to store in my home since it’s all included in this kit!

Dare I say I actually enjoyed cleaning my toilet with this new product from Clorox? I actually did find it kind of fun since it was quick, easy, and it was likely the first time I cleaned my toilets without a complaint.

If you are looking to replace your old dingy toilet brush with something sleek and easy-to-use, you need to give the Clorox Disinfecting Toilet Wand Toilet Cleaning System a try. It’s changed the way I think about cleaning!

You can find this product at Walmart, Loblaws, Superstore, Dominion, Fortunes, Proviso, Yig, Zehrs, Extra Foods, and RCWC.

 

 

Thanks to #CloroxCanada for the samples and gift card in exchange for this review!
