I'm tired When did that become my go-to response? sometime in March maybe. It's been a busy month. I'm moving NEXT WEEK! (which is why I've been slightly mia - sorry about that) but no one is as tired or as amazing as a new mom. shoutout to @veltasventures who is already back in her Katherine [bomber] a week after giving birth to little Squish.... I'm now inspired to get back in the studio, pack and play with ideas that you all have been giving me all week! styling still coming! dont you worry about that!

"Just cause someone wants to eat the burger doesn't mean they want to meet the cow." The Island (don't judge my movie quotes) Spring is here - thank GAWD - but that means new trends, the first sunburns of the year and if you're lucky a drink on a patio. I just finished the @stevemadden biography (awesome. Reccomend!) But he, who is partially responsible for fast fashion culture is also now adjusting their business tactics to be more sustainable.... Here's what you can do right now to update your spring wardrobe sustainably this season: 1. shop your closet first. The most sustainable closet is the one you already have. 2. swap with a friend for the same reason. 3. shop local - ask us questions. 4. shop vintage. 5. be willing to ask. If the shirt you're buying from fast-fashion chain costs you $15 it means they get it for $7, which means they make it for $3.50. Assume half of that is fabric, the person making your clothes makes $1.75. Comment below with your favourite sustainable store/thrift shop or tip! Let's start a chain and share the tips!!

It's great when a garment looks good, obviously, but it's an investment piece when it's also functional. Functional Fashion takes away the guesswork on a new purchase. It no longer becomes a question of "do I want it?" But instead, 1. Can I build it into my existing wardrobe (can I make three outfits with it)... 2. Does it fit my Lifestyle? (Glam is great but are we going to galas these days?) 3. Does it fit my body? (Is it flattering? Think colour & shape) We're talking about this and so much more with closet stylist @camila.bousquet tomorrow morning at 10am! Share this post with someone who needs some closet tips!

I can't believe I'm saying this. It feels like -23 today. Everyone is out in winter coats and mitts again. It's also the LAST WEEK to pickup your #iamworthy toque!... I have 5 left in the black & there are still a few left in Forest Green @thirstymaidencafe Or if you're in Australia, like @meganjaworski.xo (who is my brilliant business coach!) You're going into winter! - which feels better than our spring. So there's that. Pick up yours by tapping the pic!

Don't put all your shine away just yet! January is gloomy enough as it is. Lets keep those feel good pieces right at the top of our wardrobes for this month. Photo: Model: @erinclairechapman

I don't usually post on Sundays - it's my IRL day - BUT today is 40 days to Christmas. Which means only 46 days till the end of the year. Don't believe me? Ask @emmashairstyling - I think she has the Christmas countdown up to the minute. If you're starring at a closet full of clothes wondering why you don't have anything to wear than the style journal is for you. ... Throughout first quarentine I wrote 40 style prompts to help you discover your style pillars, figure out our personal style, and finally be able to let go of those clothes that are hanging useless in your closet. Pick it up today at rebeccarowe.ca (link in pic) and by Christmas you'll know exactly what you want to wear.

You know that you're in charge of the fashion industry? Look at how much things have changed since just 2006 when The Devil Wears Prada was released. The body positivity movement has taken over and we, the consumer, are dictating to the fashion industry what we want to see. I'm not saying that it's perfect, but to hear more about what I'm thinking check out the IGlive tomorrow morning with myself and @emily.shoppingsoulmate as we discuss all things The Devil Wears Prada.
