All Things Blush & Grey

What is prettier than the combination of soft grey and blush pink? It's such flattering colours that together create an airy, soft and ultra feminine vibe. I scoured my Pinterest boards for the best grey & blush pink inspiration for your wardrobe and home. I've also linked a few of my favourite fashion pieces (like this crossbody bag and these suede tie up flats) and home decor items (like this throw pillow) in this pretty palette at the bottom for you to shop.

Pinterest Lately...

Pinterest is without a doubt the number one place I find the best inspiration for fashion, home design & decor, travel, beauty and more. I've hit 30,000 pinned photos on my Pinterest account and each picture was carefully chosen to fit with my style. I thought I'd share some of my recently pinned photos that are very popular and are equally beautiful & inspiring! Don't forget to check out my Pinterest account and follow along for much more  daily inspo.

A fresh way to create an open wardrobe, especially when you don't have a closet in your bedroom.

I love this blue shirt dress and tan wedge sandals! This look is perfect for weekend brunch and flower shopping. I found a similar style dress here and wedges here.

How dreamy is this chic Parisian apartment balcony!? I can picture myself enjoying coffee and a croissant there every morning.

This pale grey kitchen is making me reconsider my undying love for white kitchens! I'm in love with those marble countertops, stainless steel apron front sink and tall black framed windows.

Rompers are still going strong this summer and I love this blue floral style paired with that classic tan leather Gucci Soho crossbody bag and floppy hat.

Off the shoulder tops and dresses are all the rage this summer, and this seersucker blue top  is perfectly paired with classic white skinny jeans.

This white kitchen with stone countertops and large centre island is made even more stunning by the natural wood panel detail surrounding the bank of windows.

Who wouldn't want to work in this lovely home office?! I'm lusting over that golden starburst chandelier, the geometric pattern ceiling and that royal blue velvet chair!

That striped off the shoulder open back dress is perfect for an Italian summer vacation. I found a cute open back striped dress here. 

This dramatic black & white feels very Parisian and fresh.

Winter Warm Ups

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

It's officially freezing outside and part of North America is digging out from under two feet of snow. Needless to say winter is here to stay (at least for another couple months) and all I want to do is stay warm & hibernate indoors. To make our winter hibernation that much more enjoyable I pulled together my favourite winter warm ups that will keep us cozy, inside and out! Light a lovely Diptyque scented candle and prepare a healthy hearty dish from Gwyneth Paltrow's cult classic cookbook, "It's All Good", in this All-Clad slow cooker. Then get snuggled up in this grey Banana Republic turtleneck sweater, tan suede UGG slippers, & soft aqua Crate & Barrel blanket and watch your favourite movie (or two) on Netflix.

Signs of Spring

February has been pretty brutal so far - freezing cold and very snowy. Trudging through the slushy cold weather makes me wonder if winter will ever end and realize that spring doesn't officially start for another month or so.

But just when I feel like there is no hope for warmer temps (a little dramatic, I know) I start to see buckets of tulips at every flower shop and grocery store. A small reminder that spring really isn't too far away. I love snapping photos of tulips where ever I find them and these are just a few of my recent pictures.

Tulips are my very favourite flower. If I could afford to fill my home with a million pink and white tulips I would. Tulips just make me smile and remind me of my childhood. I've found that treating myself to a small bouquet of fresh tulips throughout the last weeks of winter really helps to lift my spirits, especially when the skies are grey day after day. It is like a little bit of sunshine and spring in a vase!

Thanks for reading,

What's In My Bag

Weekends are for staying in our PJ's all day, lying on the sofa watching our favourite movies or TV shows on our PVR and sipping coffee. Ya right! I think we can all agree that type of dream weekend is few and far between. Most of us are on the go, running errands and getting stuff done. And the right bag and essentials inside makes this on the go life a little easier. I thought I would share what's in my bag!

My Tory Burch Double Zip Tote is my favourite bag ever (second only to my Louis Vuitton Neverfull). It is classic and stylish all at once and has so much room for all my totables. I love the luggage colour because it complements 99% of my outfits.

I can't live without my Louis Vuitton Sarah continental wallet. I've used it for years and it still looks like new (and that's a lot to ask of a wallet). Another non-negotiable in my tote bag are sunglasses. I have chronically sensitive eyes (which is why you will see me in sunglasses even when the skies are grey) and I don't go anywhere without a good pair of sunglasses, like my favourite gold rimmed Ray-Ban aviators.

If you know me well you know I always have lip gloss on and my favourite brand is MAC Cosmetics Cremesheen Glass (of course). They make the perfect lip gloss that isn't too sticky but lasts for hours.

I happen to have the latest issue of my favourite shelter magazine, Style at Home, with me in case I get a chance to sit down during my busy weekend for a latte and relax. This magazine has come a long way over the years and as a trained interior decorator I am constantly impressed with & inspired by the beautiful stylish home spreads every month.

I am a fan of fresh breath (who isn't?) and I love Starbucks mini mints. They are powerful little suckers and are essential after that cup of coffee on the go.

Sometimes I will get too busy for lunch (I just don't get that hungry when I am super occupied) so it's important to carry a snack, like a Kind Bar, with me that has protein and is also gluten free.

Last but not least my car key! Can't get very far without that. I love my Mini Cooper and the day I have to give it up for an SUV will be a VERY sad one. I can zip around the city and park in the tiniest spots with ease. If you have ever contemplated getting one DO IT!

There you have it! That's what's in my bag. Tell me, what's in yours?
