Spring and Things

Hey there lovelies!

This post is inspired by the pastel pallet of the spring season and the evergreens of the Pacific Northwest.

Blush pink has become one of my favourite colours and as I have gotten older, I have regain my admiration towards pinks. My current wardrobe pallet consist of neutrals -- light greys, creams and blush pinks. Blush pink is the girl boss colour. The perfect way to add a feminine touch to a pant suit and a classic neutral in replacement of whites and blacks.

Here are my outfit details:

Top: Banana Republic Factory (similar here and here)

Coat: Club Monaco (similar here) (also love this one)

Bottoms: H&M

Shoes: Call It Spring (similar here)

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Hudson Moto (similar here and here)

Ring(s): Oak + Fort (also love this, this and this)

Wallet: ZAC Zac Posen (also love this)

Lipstick: Tom Ford in Revolve Around Me 

Earrings: Tory Burch

Perfume: Dior

Thank you so much for reading!

Sincerely,

It makes me so happy that I can share what I love with you guys! I want to cheers to a great year and I hope that 2018 is even better!

Lady in Red - What to Get the Girl Who Has Everything

Hey there lovelies! Christmas is approaching, meaning it is also the season to face the crowds to find that perfect gift for a loved one. As much as I love snuggling around a winter fire with my soft furry blankets and watching Christmas movies with my man, I for one love Christmas shopping. I love finding the perfect gift and knowing that they will absolutely love it.

Though, sometimes finding the perfect gift can be a true struggle. I've compiled a list of my top picks for your best gal pal of for the girl who has everything.

1) Jo Malone Candle - Jo Malone candles make the perfect luxury gift for that girl who has everything. They are a little pricier, so it is always a cute treat to burn one of these. The scents are to die for and makes a perfect hostess gift for the holidays too! I'm a sucker for packaging and Jo Malone never fails in this department. My favourite scents are Peony and Blush Suede and English Pear and Freesia

2) Chanel COCO Shine Lipstick - This is one for the beauty lover. If you do not particularly know what your receiver likes when it comes to lipstick, I think you can never go wrong with a neutral hydrating balm. I personally love the COCO Shine because it is like moisturizing lip balm combined with a wash of colour. It will give your gal pal a 'my lips, but better' kind of look.

3) PJ Set - As a girl who loves her soft textured fabrics and lounging at home, I think a cute PJ set makes the perfect gift. You can never have enough fun comfies to loge around at home in. Even I am guilty of wearing my christmas PJs all year long! La Vie En Rose has an amazing selection of lounge wear; they have everything to penguin slippers to fuzzy robes. Currently only $20CAD, I love this set and this set.

4) Gold/Rose Gold Office Supplies - This one is for the girl boss. For someone who spends a lot of time working out of her desk, I get inspired by the fun details that surround me. Cool trinkets are also a great conversation starter. Here are some of my favourites: Rose Gold Scissors (although you can opt for an $8CAD pair if you are lucky at Winner/Marshalls), Riffle Paper Co Notepads

5) Coffee Table Book - I think coffee table book is great way to personalize a gift. For the fashion lover, you can opt for designer books like Tom Ford, Chanel: Collections and Creations, Chloe: Attitudes, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci: The Making Of. You can direct your gift to the receiver's personality -- like architecture, home design, nature, etc. Coffee table books are a great designs piece and adds personality to a home.

6) Blanket Scarf - I think a thick blanket scarf is a good alternative for the classic glove/beanie/scarf combo. This is perfect for the college student or the girl on the go. Blanket scarfs are practical, versatile and can be a chic accessory to a winter outfit. I love ones for Aritzia; I love this one and this one.

7) Riffle Paper Co Stationary Set - I'm a sucker for cute stationary and Riffle Paper Co always has me covered. What I love about them is that they have prints for different iconic cities. This way you can totally customize it to suit your reviver, by picking a memorable city. I personally love new york and they have prints I could frame dedicated to the big apple (like this one and this). What I also love is that they have super cute memo pads to organize your busy schedule (like this one) and calendars/planners for the new year (like this and this).

8). Henri Bendel Makeup Bag(s) - This one is for the girly girl and/or the Gossip Girl fan. Nothing is more festive for holidays than a Bendal's Christmas. Henri Bendel is the epitome of Christmas in New York. Their classic brown and white stripes are perfect for the girly-girl who has everything. Makeup bags are so versatile; of course they could house makeup, but when I travel, I love having little bags to separate my belongings especially my fine jewellery and tech cables. I love this option as well as this one. This one would be great for traveling. These are definitely on my Christmas wish-list!

I hope you found these ideas inspiring for your Christmas shopping and I hope my ideas were helpful!

Thanks for reading!

Thank You!

Hey there! I just wanted to write and say thank you for your devoted support to this blog. 

A year ago I started taking outfit photos for the love of fashion, and used this blog as an outlet to display my creativity. This blog was meant to be a place where I could go back and reflect on past outfits and perfect my photography skills.

A year later, I'm even more exited than ever to take photos every week and share my loves and excitements. I love the fact that I can share the things that bring me the most joy.

I honestly did not even think that anyone would ever really view my pictures and cared about I had to say. (It gives me a warm sensation when I see familiar names!)

I'd just like to say thank you for being on this journey with me :)

Sincerely,

Currently Longing For...

Happy Tuesday! I love following trends, but I'm also one to pick and choose what I like from a certain season. Here are a few of my favourites.

I love interior design and keeping up with what's new and modern. I am currently obsessing over golds, marble and geometric shapes. Modernity and the contemporary trend is so classy and simple that it really suits my personality. White with accents of marble texture and gold/bronze textures are so popular at the moment.

I'm also obsessed with decorative books because it makes my space look chic, and sophisticated.

To go with this modern contemporary look, I am loving the sleeveless jacket trend. It's so different and such a fun and simple twist on the regular pea coat/trench coat. Paired with knee high-boots makes such a modern, yet feminine look.

I'm a handbag junkie, what can I say... A girl loves her handbags. Currently on my wish list is the Rebecca Minkoff Hudson Moto Mini and the MICHAEL Michael Kors Selma Medium Satchel in Cherry. I've been eyeing these gorgeous little guys for a while now and the are great bags for everyday usage.

I'm also loving Quay Australia as the have such great quality sunglasses for an affordable price. Their 'My Girl' sunnies are one of their most popular styles and I honestly want them in every colour. They are not only trend, its the perfect style of cat eye. They are big enough, but not too overwhelming. I have a their gold/brown pair and I LOVE them.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sincerely,
