Homemade Popsicles

Let there be Popsicles & Sunshine!


It is finally summer here and what better way to celebrate than homemade Popsicles! I am slightly obsessed with making these. They are perfect for BBQ, backyard parties and hanging around the pool. I love how customizable they are too. You can add whatever you want and make them in all kinds of flavours! These will seriously be the hit at your next party!

What I Wore

Colour Block & Jewelled



The weather has been so up and down, I usually end up wearing 3 outfits a day.  But this week we have finally had some sunshine! Today I'm wearing this colour block & jewelweed tee that can be dressed up or down. I paired it with my basic black skort and taupe & gold sandals. I love the taupe and white combo on this shirt. It makes it so easy to dress up or down for the summer. Colour Block is always popular in the summer but if your not a fan of bright colours, find a neutral!
The jewels on the top make for an easy built in statement necklace. 
I also through my hair up because I was not in the mood to style it... we all have those days right?!

Skort: Aritzia
Shoes: Guess (a few years ago)
Sunglasses: Rayban

Diary Entry 1 - About Me & Grief


As a blogger I feel like I need to devote my full self and be real to all my followers and who I am.  I am aware that most of you do not know much about me other than I am a fashion student and write a silly blog. Well I feel like its time to open up and get real with y'all.  Grab a snack -  
I am currently beginning this post in the comfort of my bathtub, it is one of my favourite ways to wind down and relax at the end of a day. I am a lush bath bomb fanatic and today my water is as blue as the sea. (Thanks big blue)  
_______________________________________________________________________

I sometimes feel like I could write a book or a movie about my life and all the events that have taken place, but I wont overwhelm you just yet. So lets begin…
My name is Cassandra Rose Edith Cathcart, I am 21 years old from Ottawa, Ontario & going to school in Toronto. I have an obsession with coffee shops, frenchies, & palm trees.

I love fashion, style & being creative. I was never the smart kid in school but I always got by. I moved to Ottawa when I was 15 and am totally in love with this place and all of the people I have met. It has truly been a blessing. For schooling I did one and a half years at Ottawa University before deciding it was not for me and am now a Fashion Management student studying at George Brown College in Toronto.

The biggest thing that has happened - 

In 2013 my best friend and father passed away, he had a heart attack in his sleep and didn't wake up one morning. I still remember that day like it was yesterday, but the best thing I can think of to say is that he looked so peaceful tucked in his bed. Almost two years have gone by and I still feel like I have not grieved. Which is probably the most important thing you can do when you lose a loved one. Saying things get better and it takes time is also true but grieving is the most important. I got caught up in taking care of my mom and younger sister that I but myself to the side. Two years later, they are doing much better but I am behind now. 
A lot of people have told me I am cold and strong headed, not sure if they are related but I guess I can say yes to both of those. I don't like talking about my feelings or bringing others down so I keep a lot of it inside. Also something you should never do. I am currently learning the hard way through all of this and hope that I can help some of you. After two years I am finally going to see grief counseling so I can get some help and work on myself. 

This past year even though I was doing something I love and was with someone I love, I feel into depression. Something very common but I never wanted to face reality and believe I had it since I was always supposed to be the strong one. Reality has hit and It is time to get some help. I am super excited to start grief counseling and to talk about my depression. I believe now is the time because I want to be happy again in my life and for myself. 

I think each week I will be doing a diary entry so you guys can learn a little more about me and to talk about problems we face every day. Including the good, bad, break ups, depression and more. I cannot wait to take my blogging further and become more involved every day. I hope you guys will follow & be a part of my life.
