Hi Lyndi! Tell us a little bit about you and what do you do!


I specialize in fashion media relations. I run a blog called Style Calling where I cover fashion, beauty, trends and events from an industry insider’s prospective. I also teach various fashion marketing programs including styling, PR and fashion show production.

How do you use your platform to impact those who follow you?


I love sharing my knowledge and passion for the industry with the wonderful audience I’ve grown over the last few years. From the runway shows I attend at Paris Fashion Week to my fashion lessons and industry tips, social media is a fantastic way to connect, and be reminded just how small the world is.

What’s your personal style mantra?

Fashion should be fun. Wear what makes you feel good. Support brands you can be proud of, and don’t be afraid to try something new.

Ah, summertime! What are some of your favourite things to do, in the city and beyond, once the warm weather hits?

I’m so happy it’s finally summer! I love riding my bike on the seawall, stopping by a sunny patio and enjoying time at the beach. Whenever I can escape the city, I head home to Whistler to spend time at the lakes and hike up the mountain.

Any summer holiday plans this year?

We’re heading to Ontario this month for some R&R lakeside at a cottage. It’s very different from B.C., so I’m excited to experience summer on both sides of Canada. And if you want to try something new – visit ice casino.
