I could watch this over and over again.

{I want this week} Neon & Neutrals

2012-04-16T07:45:00.000-07:00

{1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.}

Happy Monday ya'll! I had a nice weekend off with lots a sleep and a few drinks with friends. I also

bought these shoes at Zara over the weekend (also seen above - # 6.). I love the mixture of the neutral and neon colours. Spring is making me crave colour and I like it!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Bigger and Better Things

2012-04-10T17:59:00.003-07:00

A week ago I took a giant leap. I quit my job. I gave up my safe, medical benefit providing, regular pay cheque, job. This was a big deal. Obviously for a full week before and after all I saw anywhere were little reminders that the cost of living is increasing daily (that's right I pay a $1.40/litre for gas) and the job opportunities are null. And, yes, in this crazy world, I still opted out of a nice safe (mostly) enjoyable job.

You must be thinking 'well obviously she had an amazing opportunity with higher pay, a better title and a beautiful new desk'...well I...and I struggle to say this...I have the complete opposite. I only have the hope that my little dream will come true. I only have myself in this adventure, no medical, no secure pay cheque and no one at the next desk to laugh with.

I will miss my loud, messy office. Working in a room with no windows and men who often smell like tractors. I will miss my beautiful co-workers. My little unorganized desk. The way my work computer 'thinks' for a moment longer than normal every single time I open a new document. The way I smell after work...actually this one I won't miss at all (working in an old stuffy building is not ideal)...yuck.

I will miss it all but am so excited (and terrified) for the opportunities (and uncertainty) to come! Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

Happy Easter

2012-04-07T16:11:00.001-07:00

It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks. I will catch up this week but I wanted to stop bye and wish everyone a very Happy Easter!

PS Are these not the cutest?! Check out the DIY info here.

Saturday Night Fun

2012-03-24T21:02:00.002-07:00

Sitting at home enjoying my Saturday evening watching this and reading this (because I like to multitask. Obviously)

After getting half way through this I find my self looking through months of this and stumbling on...

just what I needed. Still funny.

First Day of Spring!

2012-03-20T18:44:00.001-07:00

On this first day of Spring, that actually felt more like the middle of June, I was inspire to paint my nails a bright pastel colour. The only problem, I couldn't find my one and only coral Essie. So instead I checked out the colours I might have to purchase. Fingers crossed my drug store will have any of these fun shades!

Spring Fever

2012-03-13T09:15:00.000-07:00

{1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.}

One short week after our trip to Florida and I am craving summer. Even my shopping habits are showing my longing for a change in seasons! My attraction to subtle colours and neutrals has gone out the window - bring on the bold!

This week we are going to reach a high of 19 (Celsius) which is unheard of for March in Ontario. You better believe I will be showing some ankle and taking advantage of a patio!

Happy (belated) 100 Oreo!

2012-03-12T17:03:00.001-07:00

Last Tuesday the delicious Oreo cookie turn 100 years old. To celebrate I tried my hand at making a homemade version. They took a little work but turned out to be kind of delicious. They are huge in comparison so next time I will definitely make them smaller! That way I can eat more but feel like I am eating less...right?

{I used this recipe}

{FYI they sell Mango flavoured Oreos in India and Green Tea favoured Oreos in China!}

What you need

They always say you find what you need when you need it. This post is perfect for me today.

And so is this.

I love when H&M has guest designers. This Thursday Marni for H&M is released. I have been checking out the look book and just stumbled upon this video from the launch party in Hollywood. The video brings the clothing to a whole new level, the fabrics looks so beautiful and flowy!

I am sorry I didn't say good bye.

We left last Thursday for the big ol' family trip to Florida. We were there for 10 beautiful days with almost the whole Stewart Fam. Nanny, Poppi, Auntie Jenny, Abbie, Norah, Auntie Lauren, Uncle John, Cole (and of course peanut, just like last year!), Mike and I! Sadly Uncle Kev was missing but next year we have decided to postpone the trip until the end of March so fingers crossed Kev will make it!

PS thank goodness for my phone otherwise I would not have any photos!

Little Wooden Somethings

2012-02-09T18:44:00.000-08:00

I love the use of wood in stationery. I think it adds such a lovely element of rustic whimsy.

I love these just as much! Maybe even more...

{And these are DIY!}

This is how I feel today....

Wiarton Willy (the Canadian version of Phil) I love you. Thank you for not seeing your shadow. Let's just hope he's right and we are in for an early spring!

Modern Rustic

2012-02-01T09:49:00.000-08:00

{1. 2. 3. 4. 5.}

I recently ordered white Eames molded chairs for our dinning room (dinning space really). I am so excited to see them against our rustic antique wood table. I love mixing the textures and shapes of really sleek modern pieces with the rustic, character-filled, antiques - like these spaces. Can't wait to post pics of my chairs asap!

Valentines - BHLDN Styles

2012-01-31T18:24:00.000-08:00

{all from here}

Do you ever have those days when you remember something you love that you totally forgot existed?! That happened to me today (actually it happens pretty often). I love it - you feel like maybe your life is missing a little light, a little inspiration and then all of a sudden you remember a store, website, blog (or delicious Frozen Yohgurt places) that you, in your hectic life (or not so hectic life), forgot all about. Rediscovering is even better than discovering for the first time!

This happened to me today with BHLDN. And look at all the cutesy stuff I found! (There are tons more but my computer was acting up so this is it for now!)

Kind of in love with 'Of a Kind'

2012-01-24T17:01:00.000-08:00

{This weeks feature}

{Indigo Bi-Fold Wallet}

{ Bow Cuff}

{Pyramid Necklace - Sadly Sold Out}

Recently I was blog surfing and came across (from here) an amazing online boutique called Of a Kind. Of a Kind is an amazing shop offering its clients limited edition designer pieces. Each week Of a Kind features a new artist/designer who custom creates a piece solely for the boutique. Easy and unique, amazing! Only down side is you have to be on top of your purchases cause when the item is gone its really gone!

Getting Ready for Love Day
