The 7 Cozy Autumn Essentials Every City Girl Needs
How is it already October?! At any rate, it means that my favourite season is in full swing, and I am 100% here for it. Bring on the blanket scarves and hygge vibes! Autumn is a time of change and going inward; which is why it’s my favourite season. It means a little more home time. Way more cozy and feeling hygge time.

City Girl Connects: An Edna SMaK x West Coast City Girl Collaboration – Skyline Yoga Leggings
Instagram is probably one of my top five favourite things about the 21st century, so far. One of the reasons is that I have met so many lovely people via the app in the last couple of years; one of those being Shamiza Ali, girl boss and designer of a local apparel brand, Edna SMaK. Yep, Edna SMaK. Just the name made me want to further explore, and she designs lofely clothes that work for every body. She…

Afternoon Tea with the Blog Pod at the Secret Garden Tea House
I love tea. I particularly love having tea with friends. I’ve mentioned the Blog Pod that I belong to a few times; these ladies have become a lovely group to get together with. A few of us recently had the opportunity to spend a hygge afternoon together to enjoy Secret Garden Tea Company‘s High Tea.

My 5 Favourite Memories of 2017

VanDusen Gardens Double Date (Collab with travelorlabout!)
My friend and fellow blogger, Orla (from travelorlabout.com and the blog pod I belong to) and I have been talking about doing some collab stuff and I thought this time of year would be the perfect. She and her guy, Jack, are away from their families this year (as is The Brit), and I wanted to make sure they had some Christmas cheer. So we bundled up earlier in December to brave the drizzle and had a hygge…
