Made in Canada Threads, House Update & More!
Spring is almost here... keyword: 'almost'.
Though at minus 13 feeling like minus 21 with the wind chill, it doesn't really feel like it. Does it? It's been a while since my last update and, since I'm about to start my radio show in a couple of minutes, I'll keep it quick!
We've been living in an Air BnB since February 1st. The place itself is totally awesome - but, since we didn't have our schedule set, we've had to move out three (??) separate times to accommodate pre-booked weekend renters. Moving with the kids and living out of five or six rubbermaid bins has been stressful. Very stressful.
I'm beyond happy to announce that we will be moving in to our new house on Sunday! This will be another busy weekend. I work Saturday morning from 9:30A-2P live on location at the new Natural Food Pantry (which I'm actually looking forward to because I can shop while I work).
Ooh, I've also been meaning to give an update RE: finally finding quality kids clothes MADE IN CANADA! I've been looking for years!! Happy to say that Fab Baby Gear carries many Canadian brands now (yay)! Two brands I have just become obsessed with include: Sem Label and Wooly Doodle!
On the GROWN UP front, I was able to spoil myself with some great Canadian made threads thanks to Victoire (Wellington St. location). I wanna give a special shout out to Iris Denim (those Bad Reputation jeans are perfection) and Thief & Bandit for having unique, eye catching designs and for going above and beyond with customer service. <3
We also did a photoshoot at work - I was pretty rushed, so when they told me to sing into this mic I went with the only song I know!! Haha - WARNING: turn your volume DOWN for this.
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.
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.
