I’ve answered this … somewhere in the ‘personal’ tag lol.

I think my personal style is undergoing a bit of a change from classic with a bit of an edge to just plain classic. I’m moving towards staple pieces like trench coats, camel coats, black skinny jeans, expensive ankle boots, timeless things that always look good and all work together. I’m working on putting together a “capsule” wardrobe.

But basically my style is a lot of black, a lot of stripes, a lot of burgundy. Dresses and tights. Some leather, some olive, some navy, and some brown thrown in there for colour.

You and me both, dear! A personal style blog is a dream of mine and we’ll see if it’s something that happens!

I do have a personal blog but it’s been my intention since beginning TSS to keep it separate from TSS.

However, I’ve gotten a huge increase in people asking me this question so I may start advertising my personal a little bit more.

I do have a personal tumblr I just don’t give it out. I have been working on a personal style blog, though, I just haven’t had the time to get it up and running.

I do have a personal Instagram but I prefer to keep it separate and private from TSS. 

FUCK

(also please note i only have two rules about my personal insta: 

1. please say hi in my dm’s and introduce yourself

2. keep it to yourself)

Also, are all your photos taken on your phone? If so, which phone do you have because the quality is stunning! As someone who goes to shows/concerts a lot I’m a really crappy photo/video taker, which is in part to not having such a great phone camera and not knowing much about how to take great pics/videos. So I’m wondering if I should invest in a new phone with a better camera, or maybe just buy a separate camera instead. thanks Sarah!

Lol the particular bubble of TSS-ers who have managed to track down my personal always make me laugh - but thank you for not dispersing it around to people if you have managed to find it and respect my privacy. I’d also politely ask that of anyone who does happen to find my Instagram to please keep it to yourself (or drop me a hello at least in my DMs!).

Hi sweets! I do have a personal blog and Instagram but I prefer to keep it separate from TSS. I hope you can understand.

This isn’t too personal at all, dear! Normally, Vancouver is usually already pretty mild and just generally rainy/fall-like around February but this year we’re experiencing an extremely odd weather pattern in that it actually feels like winter. 

We’ve had more snow than I’ve experienced in my whole life here so it’s quite odd actually having to behave like a Canadian and wear snow boots and thick parkas/coats. It’s honestly driving me a little crazy lol because I miss wearing cute shoes. 

Normally around this time we usually just experience more rain as per usual and a few near-springlike days. Usually in the 10-15 degree range but with all this snow it’s been more like 0-8 degrees lately. So I’ve mostly been wearing lots of knit sweaters with black denim and scarves and knee high boots. On days I say “SCREW IT” I have a few outfits on reserve that are my ‘It is god damn cold outside’ outfits. One I picked up while living in a cold af mountain town and it’s a super cute cable knit dress situation with a turtleneck. Very oversized and large but so cozy so I belt it and wear with tights and high boots and call it a day. 

If Vancouver were being normal, I’d probably already be transitioning into cuffed jeans, ankle boots and a light top with a blazer/cardigan/sweater on top by now but noooooOoOooOoOOOO. 

It’s basically something you should do if what you’re into for your personal body goals is a more toned, strengthened body. If you’re looking to lose mass amounts of weight, I would suggest something more cardio-based as barre will not be much help there.

It’s a lot of isolated muscle movements and, I will not lie, it burns and it hurts and you will shake and you will feel a lot of pain. But it’s a good pain. Each class has a few sections to tone your whole body. An arm section, thighs, abs, butt and active recovery stretch sessions in between.

It combines some basic elements of traditional ballet (first/second/fifth position, pliés, attitudes), pilates (roll ups, Pilates 100s) and a bit of yoga (pigeon. child poses for stretching).
