I’ve needed corrective lenses since my early teens. The optometrist said I would only need them for a few years but my prescription hasn’t changed much since then. Around the time I got married, I switched to contacts because I didn’t want to wear glasses on my wedding day and I also wanted to see Geoff when I walked down the aisle. Anyway, that didn’t last long. I chucked them all after waking up with a wicked case of pink eye one morning. Even though I was religious about washing my hands and sterilizing my contacts, bacteria invaded my eyes to the point where I couldn’t even open them. I haven’t touched contact lenses since. These days even my sunglasses have my prescription.

Beauty essentials; CHANEL 3D mascara, eyeshadow, and hand cream. For skincare I’ve been using Eve Lom’s cleanser and Olay’s Daily Facial Cleansing Cloths for removing makeup, followed by their new facial Mist. For my hair, I’ve been love, love, loving, the T3 SinglePass Curl.

For our staycation with Bonlook we stayed at the Anndore House in Toronto, just around the corner from the Yorkville area. Even if you don’t have a chance to stay at the hotel, I would highly recommend their restaurant, Constantine. Breakfast and dinner here is divine and we plan on going back soon. The staff is friendly and helpful while the decor is gorgeous.

CHANEL’S No 5 is probably my all time favourite scent. It’s beautiful, unique, and elegant. The purse spray is excellent for travel but the limited edition red bottle is so exquisite I’ll probably keep it on display long after it’s gone.

Decisions, decisions. I’ve amassed quite the glasses collection from Bonlook. Because I wear prescription glasses and sunnies I might as well have fun with them. Just like I don’t wear the same shoes everyday (it’s a quirk of mine), I’ll change my frames up often.

Bonlook also has blue light protection lenses which shield eyes from the blue light of computers. Geoff happens to be one of those lucky humans with 20/20 vision but he works on a computer all day so he picked up a pair of these and loves them.

An impromptu shopping session with Michael led me to this stunning cropped Balenciaga sweater. It was already on my radar and the fact it happened to be the last one in the store sealed the deal. The grey and black makes it a seamless addition to my wardrobe and I love how it looks with my new Way sunglasses from Bonlook.
