“Kindness is spreading sunshine in to other people’s lives, regardless of the weather.” ☀️ Relieved to find out so many people have their power back in Ottawa this morning, including my parents in the west end. Bravo to @hydroottawa and everyone who is showing such kindness to strangers while our city gets through this. . . #yowcitystyle #Yow #ottawa #613 #pec #princeedwardcounty #beach #exploreontario #lakeontario #sunset #sunrise #neverstopexploring #boho #bohostyle #shoptallow #ottawablogger #canadianblogger (at Wellington, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHRxyDnyfT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gzg3e119gh4c

So bright and spacious and perfect for a girls weekend - waterfront view, sleeps 12, and great location for visiting the wineries.

When it comes to skincare, I’ve really been focusing on hydration to achieve that lit-from-within glow✨😊✨I recently started using @volitionbeauty's Snow Mushroom Water Serum day and night and I'm loving the results. My face feels so hydrated but with a nice light texture, and overall just more radiant and healthy. . Volition Beauty just launched exclusively at @sephoracanada and @sephora. #myownvolition #beautyshrooms #partner . . . #yowcitystyle #yow #ottawa #613 #ottawablogger #skincare #serum #sephora #canadianblogger #beauty #skincareroutine #skincaretips #skincareproducts (at Hôtel Le Germain Ottawa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7Wy1Vn8lf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lmagelvf5wtr

💛Feeling pretty grateful for you all and I owe you guys a huge THANK YOU! I love so much that I get to share my perspective on Ottawa and introduce you to new things to check out through this platform. I started this Instagram as a way to stay curious and shine a whole bunch of positivity on the place I grew up. Last week, the latest edition of the Ottawa Business Journal’s “Book of Lists” was released and I’m a little gobsmacked to find out that I was named a top lifestyle Instagram account in Ottawa. What started as a simple passion project of local love has evolved in to much more than I could’ve imagined, and I’m so thankful for all the incredible opportunities that have come my way - all of which would not be possible without you following along for the ride! Community is important to me, on and off social media, and I value this community I have been able to create. I love even more that the majority of you actually live in my same city so that I get to meet you out and about. So thank you OBJ for recognizing my passion, and to all of you for being part of this community that keeps cheering Ottawa along - it keeps getting better every day, don’t ya think? Kindly, Katie 😘 . . . @kamaramorozukphoto #yowcitystyle #yow #ottawa #613 #myottawa #igersottawa #ottawablogger #nationscapital #gratefulheart #gratefulvibes #wearcanadaproud #bicycle #staycurious #neverstopexploring #communityovercompetition #community (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn2LkKGnOKR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qs5ug2s66ry3

Just having a bit of a Blair Waldorf moment...with my new cute flats and backpack from @poppybarley 🖤Mark your calendars for September 21 & 22 because this ultra comfy, stylish and ethically-made Canadian brand is popping up again at @shopvincent with their new Fall 2018 line and you don’t want to miss it. I picked up a pair of their best-selling heeled mules at their last pop-up and they instantly became - and still are! - a favourite pair of mine. See you there 😘 xoxo . . . #giftedbypoppybarley #yowcitystyle #yow #ottawa #613 #shop613 #613shopping #ottawafashion #ottawablogger #canadianblogger #ottawashopping #ottawaevents #myottawa #igersottawa #schoolgirlstyle #gossipgirl #blairwaldorf #ethicalfashion #backpack #fashioncanadians #ootd #wearcanadaproud #canadianfashion (at Centretown) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnmua7vHKai/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tow66zlg8wux

Feeling all those September feels. A new beginning, new focus, the crispness in the air, and loving all the September issues filled with my favourite season of fashion. I stopped in on Ottawa’s fashion school @rrfashiondesignacademy this morning and was treated to a private fashion sketching lesson with one of their teachers. Did you know that you can take part-time classes at the academy whether you are wanting a career in fashion or just wanting to start a new fun hobby? Check out my ig stories for a sample of the fashion sketching class or head to their website to find out more about their other part-time evening courses like haute couture sewing, textiles, pattern-making and the history of costume! Thanks for having me today @rrfashiondesignacademy and swipe right to see the amazing fashion sketch @leeannpaquin did of me! ❤️ . . . #yowcitystyle #rrpartner #yow #ottawa #613 #ottawablogger #ottawafashion #ottawastyle #fashionsketch #fashionillustration #richardrobinson #backtoschool #september #septemberfeels #myottawa #igersottawa (at Richard Robinson Fashion School) https://www.instagram.com/p/BncHKHhngH1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h90yvtpmkn00

Guys, I did it! I’ve officially joined the happy gang at @tdmottawa as one of their cycle instructors 🙌 As a former elementary school teacher, it feels so good to be encouraging others to reach their goals and be their brightest and shiniest selves 🌟 I’m also having a hella good time putting my playlists together 😎🤘My first class on the schedule is 9:30am this Saturday...come get sweaty!! . . . @laurakellyphoto #yowcitystyle #yow #ottawa #613 #ottawafitness #tdmottawa #livingadaileylife #burnbright #doitdailey #spinclass #spinning #ottawablogger #thisis40 #gymselfie (at The Dailey Method Ottawa Barre + Cycle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXYfVQHoa9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sq02s126pyaf

☀️Shining al fresco☀️ A week of slowing down under the pines and capturing each sunset by the lake is my favourite vacation each summer. It just feels so good for my soul. It also felt great to not wear a drop of makeup all week and just let my skin breathe. My #hydrafacial from @theottawaskinclinic certainly helped to kick off my summer of embracing my natural beauty and I’ll be heading back at the summer’s end for a #photofacial to help combat the effects of any UV damage. Do you embrace your bare-faced beauty in the summer too? Leaves more time for the funshine! 🤗 . . . #partner #ottawaskinclinic #yowcitystyle #yow #ottawa #613 #nomakeup #makeupfree #barefaced #barefacedselfie #nonakeupselfie #skincare #skin #lake #lakelife #lakeside #camp #dockside #goldenlake #ottawablogger #canadianblogger #canadiangirl #inmyelement #exploreontario #sunset #sunkissed (at Golden Lake, Ontario)
