Fashion has been Sandy's passion for as long as she can remember. Her style is all about being chic & simple, classic & minimalistic with trendy flare for everyday wear consisting of both high end and attainable quality pieces.

She is a wifey, mommy, and work in finance/accounting in the oil & gas industry.Before blogging, her interest in fashion was just part of her everyday life – a personal choice and interest. Dressing well was just for her, shopping when she had time & money, building a collection in her closet, waking up in the morning, getting dressed & feeling good about what she was wearing to where she needed to go. During this time friends, family, co-workers and random people on the street would often ask her where they could shop her outfits, seeking style advice.

Not too long ago she decided to share her passion for style and life with others by starting a fashion blog on Instagram. It has been a wonderful experience full of learning, challenges and rewards. She have managed to grow her blog and become a social media style influencer!
