My Two Must Have Accessories for Spring

I’m so happy to be partnering with Poppy Barley, a Canadian luxury brand that’s rethinking every step of the fashion industry—from design to factory relationships to the retail experience.

They partner with family-owned factories in Mexico and Brazil, who ethically craft polished, foundational footwear and chic, functional accessories—selling them at fair prices and donating 1% of sales back into their communities. It’s just a win-win when making a purchase from them. 

They just launched their new Spring Renew Collection and these are pieces that are both great for the workplace and your weekend plans! You can renew your wardrobe with these new modern, handcrafted leather shoes and accessories.

Then when you reset for the weekend, you can slip into ultra-soft leather shoes and bags to meet up with friends or run errands. Who doesn’t love to get more wear out of their accessories, because I know I do!

Since I run two companies, the blog, and Taurus Media, I am always hopping around to meetings, events and seeing friends in between. Finding accessories and footwear that meet those demands are important to me. Plus when I can support a Canadian brand like Poppy Barley, that is a huge bonus!

So let’s get to the exciting news… They are coming to Vancouver March 12-15 and will be at Little Mountain Shop in Mount Pleasant. You have a chance to go in and try on their footwear and see their bags and accessories in person.

My two favourite pieces thus far from the Spring Renew Collection are The Co-Worker Tote and the At-Leisure Slip Ons. Both are great investment pieces that I was quite happy to add to my wardrobe.

This tote is chic, it fits all my work necessities like my laptop, phone, notebooks, my water bottle, camera if I’m shooting and so much more!

These slip-ons require no breaking in, they are soft-buttery leather, very luxe! I love that I can wear these to a meeting and then on a Sunday coffee date. They look great with a dress and pants, and did I mention they were a soft, soft leather? Another important detail is that they are made with the new Everflex construction, which gives your feet endless comfort.
