5 WAYS TO TRANSITION FROM WINTER TO SPRING

If your city is anything like mine, we got a little tease of spring last week and are now back to sub-zero winter temperatures yet again.

The battle for me is always figuring out how to get myself back on track to putting some effort into my outfits (because who are we kidding - my go-to "look" during the frosty months is hobo-not-so-chic) but staying warm enough to make it through a possibly colder-than-you-thought (or wished) kind of day.

MARY-KATE & ASHLEY OLSEN

Whether or not you liked them in Full House, MKA always master the comfy/classy combination. Investing in pieces that you can layer on a daily basis like a basic coat in a neutral colour and an oversize scarf will take your look a long way - especially when you add a pair of boots for the final touch.

CHRISSY TEIGEN

Chrissy Teigen looks badass AND warm with this (hopefully) faux fur look. Can't go wrong with distressed denim and leather for a glam touch.

STELLA MCCARTNEY

Can't go wrong with a chunky boot, boyfriend jeans and a cute hat, but leopard print and the mixing of the tones adds a little more interest.

PHOTO COMPOSITION TIPS WITH PHOTOGRAPHER STEVE MCCURRY

It's been a while since I last posted, but I have been spending some time figuring out my true interests and what I want to do with this blog.

I have been doing some serious reading and research about the world of photography - getting a new phone with a much better camera and experimenting with things like disposable cameras (when was the last time you used one of those??), has opened my eyes to a new way to express my creativity, something I really want to bring to this blog in my revamp in the coming months.

I discovered this video doing my morning read of HighSnobiety, and it was quickly pinned away for future reference - take a peek if you're looking for ways to improve your Instagram, Facebook, life-documenting game. National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry has some fantastic tips for keeping your photography perspective fresh.
