May 30 x 30 Capsule Wardrobe Challenge

May 4, 2019 by Marie Leave a Comment

While I already have a fairly small wardrobe, I love a good wardrobe challenge. Last year, I participated in the Fall 10×10 and Summer 10×10 and found that both challenges were an opportunity to get creative with my wardrobe and discover new outfit combinations using items I already own.

This month, I’m super excited to participate in the May 30×30 Capsule Wardrobe Challenge, hosted by Petra Alexandra. For this challenge, I chose 30 items from my wardrobe that I will be styling to create 30 outfits for 30 days. I’ll be posting all of my outfits over on my Instagram @thenordnest if you’d like to follow along! Also check out the hashtag #May30x30 to see everyone’s amazing outfits.

February 19, 2019 by Marie Leave a Comment

Flannel is such a warm and cozy fabric for those cold weather months. In Ontario, the winter chill starts moving in around October and sticks around well into March or even April. For the past months, I’ve been wearing this beautiful 111 North Coast Solstice Flannel from Tradlands on repeat and am wondering why I haven’t owned a flannel for years! If it was because I was waiting for the perfect flannel to come along, then I can definitely say that this one was worth the wait! Read on for my thoughts and first impressions about this Tradlands flannel.
