HerCastleGirls x KEU

I recently did a fun collab with two of my favorite ladies - Carcia and Telly of HerCastleGirls. You can watch the videos on my Youtube channel (and be sure to subscribe), but here's a peek into what it's all about.

Who are HerCastleGirls?

Founded by sisters Carcia and Chantel Telly Campbell, HerCastleGirls is a fashion + lifestyle blog based out of Toronto but with a global reach. They are regularly featured as style insiders in the media and entertainment industry in Canada, the US and the UK. The sisters are also recording artists with serious vocal talent: their latest single, 2U, is a pop-opera, featuring different styles and sounds from island vibes to dance, European house and electronica. Their music is available on Apple iTunes and Soundcloud. I literally can't stop listening to it.

Why Did We Collaborate?

Not to sing, I promise you that. I would have ruined that for sure.
The idea came to us one day while we were chatting about what we do to lift our spirits and feel good about ourselves. There’s a lot of heaviness in the world right now…political tension, gun violence, climate change disasters. Add to that our daily hectic schedules, and life can often feel overwhelming. So we said, why not share each of our products and methods with our readers? We teamed up to create two videos (are you subscribed to my Youtube channel yet?) and had more fun than should be allowed. We hope you’ll find our picks helpful and inspiring!

My Blouse

So many of you asked about my top when I posted one of these pics on my social, so here are the details. I got it from tobi.com, a line of very reasonably priced women's apparel - they carry tops, dresses and bottoms, outerwear, lingerie, jewellry, bags and shoes. The style is flirty and sexy, but relaxed and casual at the same time. The best part for me is that they carry faux leather handbags and a good selection of faux leather shoes. Oh, and for my Canadian friends, they ship to Canada for FREE and pay for all taxes and duties! No, you didn't read that incorrectly. Who else does that? The Canadian site is tobi.com/ca, and the US site is tobi.com.

Links to each of the products and methods listed above can be found in the description box below the videos on my Youtube channel.

Happy watching!
