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.

The Jacket I Predict Everyone Will Wear This Fall
I love how practical, everyday classics are making a comeback for fall. Between my obsession for lug sole boots and leggings, quilted jackets are another fall staple that has been in heavy rotation.
It seems like quilted jackets are on everyone's radar because I got a ton of inquiries on my Instagram Stories about the olive-colored one I'm wearing here.
This reversible jacket from Zara is $79.99 CAD (style 7522/048) and comes in a slightly oversized fit. I'm wearing a size small but could have probably gotten away with a medium for a roomier look.
Below you'll find my favorite quilted jackets of the season, from low to high to suit everyone's budget. Happy shopping!

4 Places To Visit in Niagara (That Aren't Wineries) feat. Lincoln Nautilus
Photo by Geoff Martin
If you're keen to get on the road and escape the monotony of WFH life, then a little day trip might be just what you need.
Just an hour or so from the Toronto area is the Niagara region. One of our favourite places to visit in the summer. Known for its wineries and the summer Shaw Festival, Niagara-On-The-Lake is the perfect charming daytime destination.
Geoff and I had the opportunity to head down to NOTL while test driving the 2021 Lincoln Nautilus.
The luxury SUV comes equipped with leather messaging seats, a spacious cabin, and a built-in Navigation System making it the ultimate ride.

My Four Favourite Places to Visit in Niagara
Photo by Geoff Martin
4. Dillon's Small Batch Distillers, Lincoln, Ontario
If you’re driving to Niagara-On-The-Lake from the Greater Toronto Area, be sure to stop by Dillon's Small Batch Distillers.
Conveniently located just off the highway in Lincoln, Dillon's is the place to visit for gin enthusiasts.
Be sure to pick up a bottle of their limited-release Rhubarb Gin or the Cherry Gin Liqueur for something fun and seasonal. You won't be disappointed.
*No alcohol was consumed during our visit to Dillon’s. Please don’t drink and drive.
3. The Watering Can, Lincoln, Ontario
If you love houseplants, you'll have to stop by The Watering Can while you're in Lincoln. Admittedly, this is one of my favourite places to visit whenever I'm in the area, and no matter how many times I go, it never gets boring.
This large nursery/ garden centre stocks a variety of indoor house plants, fresh-cut flowers, and has a café that makes the tastiest pies, cookies, and lattes. Yum.
2. Pillar & Post, Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario
Pillar and Post is probably our all-time favourite place in NOTL and it just so happens that Geoff and I got married there.
Equipped with an on-site spa, outdoor hot springs, an indoor saltwater pool, and two restaurants, it's no wonder why we love to visit P&P year after year.
Stay overnight or just stop by for a drink at their lounge if you can. You’ll love this elegant ambiance of this hotel.
1. Prince of Wales Hotel, Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario
Located in downtown Niaraga-On-The-Lake, the Prince of Wales Hotel is known for its vintage charm and tasty high tea.
Be sure to book reservations ahead of time using Open Table because summer is their busiest season.
