Stylin’ in all kinds of ways at @LotusLeafStyle #pressdays
We hung out at the Lotus Leaf semi-annual Press Days event this past week, and got to see the fall/winter 2014 collections from some of our favourite brands, all while enjoying delicious treats and drinks! Check out some of my favourite pieces from the brands that were featured below. I warn you, I kind of went crazy in the Dr. Martens section, there were just too many great shoes, and I need all of them!
You may have many reasons to wear a dress. The question is, does your dress have many reasons to be worn? Buying a ball gown, for example, is great if you attend a lot of black tie events, but what if you want a dress that will not be buried in your closet most of the year? A midi dress, which is a dress long enough to extend beyond your knees without touching the ground, can often work as semi-formal wear and double as a casual outfit for friendly gatherings. Just make sure the dress you choose compliments your body. For example, a waistline tied with a sash and some high heels can help you look taller. A longer midi dress with no heels is better when you are tall and want to draw attention away from your height.

The PERFECT fit with @hudsonjeans
You know those girls that always look great in their jeans? I always wondered where they bought their jeans, because I have searched high and low, and I can’t seem to find jeans that are the right wash, and have the perfect fit. No that’s a lie, I’ve found jeans that have come close to having that perfect fit, however they cost an arm and leg, and that just ain’t happening. So like many girls who aren’t willing to break the bank for those “perfect” jeans, and have had enough of that gaping problem that most jeans have when they fit everywhere else perfectly but are too big on your waist; I settled for boyfriend jeans and stopped looking… And then I discovered Hudson Jeans.
My favourite piece from the collection!
I was invited to attend a preview of Hudson Jeans’ Fall/Winter 2014, and let me tell you, I was not expecting to fall in love, or find myself lusting over several pairs of jeans. By the time I left, I was ready to throw out all my boyfriend jeans and replace them with several pairs of Hudson Jeans. How can I be sure that they have the perfect fit? Because there were several women of all shapes, sizes and heights rocking Hudson Jeans and they all fit perfectly! And they’re totally affordable; all the pieces I loved were no more than $200 a pair. That still might be a little pricey but it’s way better than spending rent money on a perfect pair of jeans. SOLD.
Check out some of my favourite pieces below!!
These are the most perfect blue jeans ever! Great wash, nice stretch, perfect length and they look great on!

My Favorite Summer Snacks @RothCheese and #PRESSELS
Summer pool parties, weddings and easy snacking! My favorite snacks have several key criteria: low calorie, delicious and addictive. Pressels are New York Style bagels converted to a tiny cracker. They are flat, fun and salty. Imagine a pretzel texture and crunch with the shape and saltiness of a bagel. This a grown up LUNCHABLE that you can take to the next level. They come in a bunch of flavors and are great with soft and hard cheese. What’s your favorite cheese?
I discovered an amazing cheese! Emmi Roth USA is adding three new flavors to their Roth® raclette lineup: Mediterranean, Five Peppercorn, and Roasted Garlic. It is extremely delicious and the classic Swiss-style cheese is mild in flavor with a creamy texture and unique melting properties. These bold new flavors put a modern twist on taste by adding ingredients like garlic, peppercorns and sun-dried tomatoes. The come in wedges like this and won’t last long with a mouse like me around!
Raclette adds depth and an element of surprise to an array of recipes, dips and sandwiches thanks to its superb melting capabilities. It can replace cheddar and mozzarella to pump up the flavor of pizza, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, pasta and more.
Roth® raclette and the new flavored raclettes are available at www.RothCheese.com, and will be rolling out in grocery stores nationwide in 2014.
