Reuniting With Ron White

Ron White Shoes celebrated its 25th anniversary this month and I visited their store in the Manulife Centre to see the founder. After Ron finished autographing a customer’s pair of sneakers, I had a chance to tell him a funny story about how we first met and I want to share it here too.

Get Inspired By Kate Spade

Kate Spade has always been one of the top brands on social media in my opinion. Sometimes I named them in job interviews when asked for an example of a brand that’s killing it on social. They have beautiful products, stunning visuals and a recognizable voice. Kate Spade is truly a brand that knows what they’re doing in-store and online.

I was delighted to find out about a new feature on Kate Spade’s website called Unlock Your Heart. By following a few steps, you can instantly create shareable content using Kate Spade’s new tool. Kate Spade’s team knows their customers love reading inspirational messages and now it’s possible to create your own graphics with their branding. Overall, I’ve found that some inspirational messages sound too cheesy, generic or girly, but Kate Spade has so many options that you’re likely to find one (or more!) that you enjoy.

What’s Hot In Disney Style Now

Mickey Mouse Glasses Hat Walt Disney World

Walking around Walt Disney World, you’re guaranteed to see hundreds of people wearing Disney clothing and accessories. Some of it’s from the Disney Store back home, some of it they just picked up at the theme park, and some of it they custom ordered so their group can match while on vacation.

From sneakers to t-shirts, I’ve been wearing Disney clothes for over 25 years. Over time, I’ve worn more of it at home in private, but I want that to change. Being a Disney fangirl is nothing to be ashamed of.

Like I said, I can’t resist walking into The Disney Store when I’m nearby. I’ve bought Disney things all over Canada and the United States, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I pick up something Disney related once I explore other countries.

When I went to New York last year, I made my first purchase of the trip at the Disney Store in Times Square. I love that store because there’s a ton of special products with a New York theme that you won’t find elsewhere. I picked up a black graphic t-shirt with mouse ears filled with icons of the city, such as Times Square, Central Park and the Empire State Building. It features Minnie Mouse dressed up as the Statue of Liberty too!

In Orlando this month, I picked up 2 accessories: silver sequin Minnie Mouse ears and a printed scarf.
