Cutom Levi's Jacket REVEAL (video)
Last month, Levi’s opened up shop in the Rideau Centre. I’m a huge fan of their brand so it was pretty exciting to be invited to their grand opening event!
They even said they’d MAKE ME a jacket. This is a video of me seeing it for the first time!
Thank you Levi’s! This is the jacket I received: Original Sherpa Trucker Jacket - with work done by the wonderful: Julius & Tanya!!
Here’s a video from the event - these masterminds helped me plan this whole look and I am over-the-moon happy with how it all turned out!!

Clothes Giveaway
I've reached out to a couple local charities who are not currently accepting donations for women's clothes (maternity/regular) or children's clothes. Since I'd prefer these items go to someone for FREE, I thought I'd offer them up to you before they go to Goodwill.
If you are interested in any of the items, contact me and we can arrange pick up or drop off. The above link contains women's clothing, mostly maternity wear (sizes M to L) in fair to mint condition. There are also a few non-mat items. Any Qs? Contact me.
Bella Hadid and the Weeknd, Katy Perry's New Do and Sheeran VS. Bieber?
Bella Hadid Keeps Running Into the Weeknd
Awkward run ins with the ex SUCK. They SUCK! But if it keeps happening... you get pretty good at knowing how to shrug off that awkward feeling. It also helps when your sister has your back.
Bella and Gigi were modeling in Paris for H&M's runway show on Thursday. The Weeknd was on stage performing only days after launching his "Spring Icons" collaboration with the clothing company. A fan caught Bella's expression when she strutted past her ex while he was singing "Nothing Without You."
Bella and the Weeknd were together for a year and a half. He has recently been linked to Selena Gomez.
Ed Sheeran Clubs Bieber
Sheeran revealed that, while vacationing in Japan, he and Justin Bieber wound up on a golf course and decided to try something risky.
“We’d been out to a dive bar. He just drank water and I got hammered... Then we went to a golf course, and he lay on the floor and put a golf ball in his mouth and told me to hit it...”
The stunt did not go well. Bieber got cracked in the face while his security guard looked on with concern.
Katy Perry on Orlando Split
After dating for over a year, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom announced their "respectful split" though a joint statement given to People. Because the split seems so unbelievably friendly, everyone is wondering what really happened.
Perry debuted a new look today reminiscent of Miley Cyrus' pixie-cut. She insists the inspiration actually comes from Michelle Williams (Dawson's Creek, Manchester By the Sea).
Peep The Weeknd's H&M Collection
The Weeknd Has a New Collection With H&M.
The Weeknd brings his flare for fashion to H&M March 2nd. That’s when you can see the full line-up both in store and online. The collection includes oversized hoodies, crew neck sweaters, bomber jackets and various street wear basics hand picked from the Starboy singer.
“I had a great time selecting my Spring Icons at H&M. I love the mix of urban pieces like bombers and hoodies with tailored shirts and blazers. Every piece is both effortless and fresh, which is just how menswear should be.”
If you’re visiting your local H&M, you’ll find his hand-picked pieces in the menswear section, though the bulk of these items are being considered unisex. Who doesn't love an oversized hoodie?
In addition to his Starboy: Legend of the Fall tour, fans can catch The Weeknd performing live at the GRAMMYs on City, February 12th. He’ll be performing with Daft Punk and sharing the stage with Adele, Bruno Mars, John Legend and more. To date, the Starboy singer has two GRAMMY awards under his belt and his collaborators, Daft Punk, have six. He is nominated as a featured artist on Beyonce’s Lemonade album this year.
After going public with rumored love interest Selena Gomez earlier this year, we’re all wondering if this weekend’s awards ceremony will be the couples first red carpet appearance.
