Let The Kids Decide What They Wear – Even If It Kills You

lilsugar

Long are the days when my kids would have perfectly matched outfits, socks and accessories to complement. When the boys were little I used to stress over what they’d wear the next day and even pack for events in advance just so that even their PJ’s would be in model form when we went out. I made them little reflections of who I wanted them to be, even spent more on their wardrobes then I could ever imagine for my own. I still could put all of my energy into…

Abercrombie & Fitch Erasing Gender Stereotypes

lilsugar

In January, Abercrombie Kids introduced it’s new gender neutral clothing line called The Everybody Collection (#Everybodycollection) and word on the street is that they are ready to add to it with a very special partnership. Fashionista Giuliana Rancic and her six-year-old son Duke’s inspired collection is said to debut April 2019 and I can’t wait! I have always been a big supporter of helping children find their way without bombarding them with gender specific clothing, toys or accessories. Both of my boys were raised this way and I am passionate about…

Trends Making Comeback That I Wish Would Retire Forever!

lilsugar

I was born in the 80’s, many would argue that I am not in fact an ’80’s’ kid because I was born in 1980 and didn’t full experience the era to the fullest but I do remember it well. I remember so many parts of my childhood and fashion from the late 80’s to early 90’s is something I personally don’t want to experience again. Neon clothing that made you look like some sort of pylon from afar, spandex bicycle shorts with just enough shine to show off those dimply…

Staying Clean With pureWash Pro – 10 Months Later

lilsugar

  Disclosure: I received a pureWash Pro in exchange for my honest opinion. As always, all opinions on lil-sugar.ca are my own.        As many of you already know, I fell in love with the pureWash Pro as soon as I heard of the concept. Fast forward 10 months after receiving this product initially and I am even more in love than I was before – if that’s even possible. Not only are my clothes feeling fresh and clean, they are giving me the piece of mind I…

The Knee Boot Fashion Flop – When Plus Sized Is NOT The Average Woman

lilsugar

    I assume there are women out there who have stopped and looked at the gorgeous plus sized models and thought “but they have great legs”….if you are a woman with larger calves, maybe you can relate to this.   Winter is almost upon us and every single year I find myself looking for a cute pair knee boots, rain boots or whatever to keep my legs warm and look stylish for the upcoming colder weather. Every year I am disappointed by the lack of variety on the market…

Sorry Ladies, Leggings are NOT pants! Here’s Why…

lilsugar

With the rise of comfortable clothing and leisure wear happening on runways, in clothing stores and at the mall it is no wonder people are starting to give in and get lazy with fashion, per say. I know you, the mom struggling to keep it all together and throwing on just about anything that is clean just to get out the door to bring your kids to school, or the student who just pulled an all righter at school just to make that deadline, or even the stay at home…

Little Dusty Rose – Spoiled Already

lilsugar

_____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It’s official! Mr Adam Lavine and Behati Prinsloo welcomed a presumably gorgeous baby girl on September 21st – her name of course is unique and straight out of a rock and roll video. Little “Dusty Rose” has arrived and apparently will be followed by 100 other babies for the couple – Adam’s words not mine. It’s true, most kids with unique names hardly ever find things with their names monogrammed on them, but this little princess has an advantage – hope she likes pink! Here are a few…

An Online Affair

lilsugar

_____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Something about shopping that makes a woman feel better when she’s down, prettier when she needs it and happier when she just wants to forget about it. Something about the smell of new clothes, the crispness of new linens and the idea of having more… Something that makes me feel all tingly inside. What’s better? Online shopping! Endless hours browsing through catalogs for that perfect shirt or those coveted boots, that chaise for the family room or latest piece of tech….hours!! Fill the cart, budget the price and…

Summer Clothing Haul With Giant Tiger – Just In Time For My Birthday! #ShareTheSecret

lilsugar

_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ As some of you may know, I recently moved to a remote neighborhood with literally 1 grocery store in our town and a few little shops, for a person who loves to shop – this was torture! That is until someone told me that we have Giant Tiger stores located 15 minutes away from my home in 3 locations – all 3 only 15 minutes away from me!! To be completely honest, the first time I really shopped at the yellow Tiger was when I moved here and…

Culottes: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

lilsugar

_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ When I found out that culottes were back in style I immediately got excited! How can a girl, let alone a busy mama of 2 hate these wonderfully spacious pants anyhow? Culottes by definition are women’s knee-length trousers, cut with very full legs to resemble a skirt – amazing right? No more heat induced sticky legs, fashionably chic and of course very loose fitting for that comfortable feel while running errands with the little ones. In theory these are a god-send for mothers everywhere, but in reality for short…
