Walking on Sunshine...

Looking for a shoe a little bit outside of the ordinary?

Yesterday I had the opportunity to work with some absolutely incredible Canadian-based fashion designers at a photoshoot that I styled at the Liberty Grand.

An artist with an extraordinary sense of vision and design, he is a quiet force in Canadian fashion.

Business people know it's not seasonal, that good taste and propriety are year round. It's always necessary to put the right foot forward – summer is no excuse for slacking off, for less vigilance in presenting oneself. Thankfully, it is possible, and fun, to make a positive personal impact within the workplace, while compensating for heat, humidity,...
