Hi, I’m Mariam

I am a Toronto-based content creator who has a passion for supporting local small businesses with a focus on fashion and lifestyle. I have an obsession with visiting local markets and discovering makers from across Canada. I want to show you the talent that grows in this community. I'm so glad you're here - take a look around!

Let’s be friends!

Grit & Grace Try-On 👗🩷🛍️ This beautifu

Grit & Grace Try-On 👗🩷🛍️

This beautifully curated clothing store that feels more like a cozy home is a pandi-baby! Penny Light founder of @gritandgraceclothing has successfully launched three locations in a span of 4 years and she’s still going strong. 💪🏽

I first discovered this store in downtown Guelph, offering unique but wearable pieces with travel influences. I couldn’t spend too much time looking around because I had to catch the bus home 💨, but soon after, they opened the Toronto location. I finally got a chance to pop in a couple of weeks ago and try on some bits and bobs.

💐Outfit 1: Market Day

I loved the Rosaliie Smocked Dress – flowy and full of texture. I paired it with a denim vest (original sold out, but the Fatima Denim Waistcoat is a great alternative).

⚡️Outfit 2: Night Out

Structured jumpsuits are a win for me. They are the perfect one-and-done piece. This one had great detailing in the contrast stitching and puffed shoulder. Sadly, it was on the sale rack, so now it’s sold out, but the Tanner jumpsuit or the Serina Utility jumpsuit do the trick.

🥞Outfit 3: Brunch

I’m always on the lookout for a maxi silk/satin skirt and the Pheobe was stunning. It was comfortable with a drawstring waist and didn’t have any slits! Unfortunately, it’s one size only and better suited for someone without any hips (not me). I do like the look of it paired with a striped cardigan or the Owen vest.

Which look was your favourite?

This jacket is such an eyesore in my closet. 💸

This jacket is such an eyesore in my closet. 💸 not well spent. So I’m dyeing it to *hopefully* fall in love with it! #earthday 🌎♻️

Lots of new faces here (thanks btw) so let’s do

Lots of new faces here (thanks btw) so let’s do a little intro…
I’m Mariam 👋🏽 and I launched this little corner of the internet to show you all the amazing things happening in our Canadian community in the fashion and beauty space.

I’m always in awe of the incredibly talented makers, artists, designers we’ve got here. They’re creating something for themselves to achieve their dreams and supporting them is super important to me.

The thought, effort and love put into each clothing item, jewelry or handmade skincare product created by a local maker makes me cherish that item so much more.

If you’ve made this far, here are some things about me:

🌸I’m the opposite of a homebody. I love being outside and doing stuff
💃🏻I love getting dressed up
🧋I never got into drinking coffee or tea but I love bubble tea, specifically brown sugar milk tea.
🍟 Team savoury here
☀️I don’t have curtains in my bedroom and I’m perfectly okay with that
🌆City girly
🤪I’m terrible at small talk
🗯️I’ll be the one talking during a movie, usually questioning the plot
👀Mayo freaks me out - what even is it?
❤️‍🩹If I’m having a bad day, I’ll rewatch an episode of Gilmore Girls

Now share something about yourself!

You love hearing what small businesses are my favo

You love hearing what small businesses are my favourites so here is mini roundup from Québec 🤩

Slide 2-3: Long time fan and wearer of @thisilk pieces. I love that each of Tamara’s pieces are so feminine and thoughtfully designed using lace and brass.

Slide 4-5: I stumbled upon @lepointvisible during the pandemic and their high contrast quilted bedspreads and other items are so fun. I would totally use these as a wall hanging.

Slide 6-7: A recent discovery but such a fun one. @dora.nola’s statement purses are full of texture, while her silk scarves are beautiful. Both would add such an interesting take on a basic outfit.

What Canadian-made designer caught your eye?
