What an incredible week! In this video, I’m recapping our Sustainable Fashion Tour of Montreal and Toronto, a journey filled with creativity, inspiration, and connection. From exploring thrift shops and local designers to sharing meals, laughter, and ideas, this trip was about more than just fashion — it was about community. Travelling with like-minded people who share a love for sustainability, style, and storytelling made every moment unforgettable. Whether we were wandering through vibrant neighbourhoods, learning from makers, or simply chatting over coffee, the friendships and memories we made will last far beyond the trip itself. 💖 Affiliate Links & Sewing Tools I Love 🖤 LDH Scissors – My absolute favourite Canadian scissors!

About This Video

This week was honestly such a highlight for me — I’m taking you along as I recap our Sustainable Fashion Tour through Montreal and Toronto. The whole trip was a mix of thrift shops, local designers, and those little in-between moments that end up being the best part: walking through neighbourhoods, grabbing coffee, sharing meals, and talking about sustainability, style, and storytelling with people who really get it. What I loved most is that it wasn’t just “shopping” or “fashion content.” It was community. Being surrounded by like-minded people made everything feel more meaningful — learning from makers, swapping ideas, and seeing how different cities support creative, more sustainable ways of getting dressed. My biggest takeaway is that sustainable fashion feels a lot more doable (and a lot more fun) when you’re building friendships and supporting the people making things locally.
