Last month Preloved Toronto sent me a whole bunch of clothes, including this sweet Broken Hearted Sweatshirt in Off-White, from their Heart Collection. To stay true to their recycling word, the signature red heart on this sweater is made from the material of other vintage sweaters. It’s super soft and has the cutest details, including a little heart on the back! The ¾ length sleeves on this sweater are perfect for spring, especially when the temperature fluctuates so much. You will be happy to know that Preloved is now available at Sporting Life in Ottawa.

A few cold weeks ago, Nordstrom Ottawa organized a lovely Sunday morning complete with food, fashion, a flower wall and lots of photos! They greeted us with open arms, fed our bellys until we were full, beautified our faces and graciously draped us in the most wonderful clothes and accessories. Even though I did not get to keep my outfit, the chance to walk around and say “pass me those Karen Walker sunglasses” and “oh, that Chloe bag will work” and “I’ll get those Manolos in a size 9 please”… was enough of a remarkable experience.
I love when brands go the extra mile to make you feel special. My dressing room had everything waiting for me, and all in my size! Can you image? I had a quick chat with my stylist and BAM! it was gorgeously laid out for me with matching shoes too! A girly-girl’s dream come true!
I hope you enjoy the pics filled with #SpringStyle! I encourage you to check out Nordstrom Ottawa’s Instagram account for more!
