SHOES | Tabi Ballerinas

The latest addition to my Tabi collection is the Maison Margiela ballerina flat. With its soft lambskin leather and a design that's almost reminiscent of a Mary Jane, it’s a perfect blend of elegance and comfort.

LIFESTYLE | A Porsche Lover's Quick Spin in the New Taycan 4S

As a self-proclaimed Porsche enthusiast, few things excite me more than the opportunity to experience a new model. Recently, I had the incredible fortune to test drive the 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S in the stunning new colour, Provence. While I normally prefer to get to know a car a little better with a week-long test drive, my short 3-hour "taste drive" left me wanting more.

My first impression of the Taycan 4S was that it felt smaller and sportier than other Taycans I've driven. (Perhaps my fondest memories are with the Taycan Sport & Cross Turismo, which I've taken on short road trips with my husband and parents to the Niagara region.) This new model boasts some impressive specs: 0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds flat, a top track speed of 250 km/h, and a range of up to 488 km thanks to its Performance Battery Plus (with a 93.4 kWh gross capacity). And as anyone who's driven an electric vehicle knows, they are FAST. Car and Driver estimates this Taycan 4S will hit 60 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds!

Of course, exhilarating performance is exactly what I expect from a Porsche. The Taycan 4S delivered, proving to be responsive and safe, with fantastic handling around curves and impressive acceleration on the straightaways (all while obeying the speed limits, naturally!).

One of the best parts of driving a Porsche is the attention it attracts. This particular model, decked out with Porsche Scopes decals to promote the upcoming event, turned heads wherever we went. People were captivated by the soft grey-lavender Provence colour and the car's overall attractiveness. At one point, someone even started taking photos of the back of the car while we were stopped at a red light! My husband and I couldn't help but give him a peace sign for his photo.

The interior was truly something special. This Taycan 4S was configured with a Bramble and Chalk leather interior – from the seats to the dash and even a Bramble leather steering wheel. It not only looks incredible in photos but is even more showstopping in person.

Although I'm craving more time behind the wheel of this car, I can confidently say the Taycan 4S is worth checking out, especially if you're considering an electric vehicle.

BEAUTY | Afternoon Delight with Margiela

Inspired by the simplicity of the REPLICA bottle and the all-white atelier at Maison Martin Margiela, I styled some of my favourite Maison Margiela ready to wear pieces against a mostly white living room set.

The spotlight is on the latest REPLICA fragrance, Afternoon Delight, a warm and sweet gourmand scent with notes of vanilla, madeleine accord, and sandalwood.

Marvin decided to join the shoot, finding the white cloth in sunlight to be the perfect nap spot. If you look closely, you’ll spot him happily tucked away on my left. 🤍🐈‍⬛

TRENDING | White Skirts

They say white is the new black this summer, and judging by all the DMs on my Instagram asking about my white skirt, I couldn’t agree more!

The one I’m wearing in my recent post is a favorite from last year, but I know how important it is to find that perfect piece for your wardrobe. So, I took a little trip over to Anthropologie and rounded up some of my favorite similar skirts that will have you summer-ready in no time.

Styling Tips:

  1. Laid-Back Vibes: Pair your white skirt with a simple white t-shirt. It’s a classic, effortless look that’s perfect for those casual summer days when you want to stay cool yet stylish.

  2. Elevated Casual: For a more polished look, try a black padded tank. This combination gives a sleek contrast, making it easy to transition from day to night.

  3. Feminine Flair: If you’re aiming for something a bit more dressed up, look for skirts with embroidery details. These add a touch of elegance and femininity, making your outfit perfect for brunch dates or evening events.

Whether you're keeping it simple or dressing it up, a white skirt is a versatile piece that will carry you through the season in style. Happy shopping! ♡

Styled here with: Alaia ballet flats. A black padded tank from The Frankie Shop. Jil Sander Cannolo tote bag and heart pouch.

My outfit: Herskind white midi skirt. Maison Margiela sheer wool polo. Maison Margiela Bianchetto New Tabi Ballet Shoes. Balenciaga Mini City Bag with spikes. Bottega Veneta glasses.

SHOPPING FOR SUMMER DRESSES

On Day 17 of our "Dress to Impress Yourself" challenge, I want to share three essential shopping tips that can help you avoid the dreaded buyer's remorse. I recently visited COS and found some stunning summer dresses that have been getting a lot of attention on my DM’s. I also just want to take a moment to thank you so much for following along and liking my content. Your support means the world to me! ♡

Black Linen Maxi Dress

First up is the black linen maxi dress. I tried on a size 4, and it fits true to size. Standing at 5'4", the maxi length was just perfect for me. The flattering halter-style neckline and soft linen fabric make this dress a dream. Its minimal design allows for versatile styling – dress it up for an evening out or keep it casual for a daytime look with flat sandals. This could be a fantastic choice for the upcoming wedding season!

White Cotton Maxi Dress

Next, we have the white cotton maxi dress with a gorgeous open-back detail. I adore the tiered design of the skirt. For this piece, I sized up to a 6US since the 4 was a bit snug around my midsection. The fabric is lightweight but unlined, so a slip underneath is essential. If you don't have nude underwear that matches your skin tone perfectly, it might be visible under this thin fabric – just a little heads-up!

My outfit: Herskind white midi skirt. Maison Margiela sheer wool polo. Maison Margiela Bianchetto New Tabi Ballet Shoes. Balenciaga Mini City Bag with spikes. Bottega Veneta glasses.
