To say the month of March has felt like a never-ending series of curveballs would be a significant understatement. I hope you’re staying healthy, enjoying everything our fave streaming services have to offer and perhaps discovering a new hobby or two! Mine is apparently baking cakes with my mom. 🍰

The extra at-home time is also giving us all more opportunities for closet cleaning, skincare and adding to our playlists and watch lists. Steal some inspo from this month’s Favourites list below.

Now that I’ve finally found my new go-to basic white tees from Topshop and Zara, I’m loving cute cropped jackets, especially in a fun style like a cheetah or military print. They’re perfect for spring and you can easily dress them up or down with perfectly-paired accessories and solid colours.

*** Shopping Local ***

Major props to all the retailers I shop with who made the difficult but necessary decision to help flatten the curve and closed their doors early on. Now more than ever, it’s important to support small, local businesses and ensure they can get back on their feet as quickly as possible once this is all over.

Stay tuned for my separate post to get started with six of my personal faves!

Beauty/Skincare

Let’s talk WORK FROM HOME GLAM! My skin is majorly thanking me for the toned-down day-to-day makeup routine. My essentials have become a brow pencil, eyeshadow, light swipe of mascara and a tinted primer.
