Winter to Spring Dressing

I think we're all done with winter and all of it's antics. No more snow, please. I would like sunshine, warmth and if it's not too much to ask for, to wake up to the sounds of birds chirping. Are you with me?

I know we're one step closer to the new season and daylight savings time has officially made my heart a little happier since it's now lighter out later in the evening. But I'm so ready for the wardrobe switch up. I've already started incorporating spring prints and pieces into my outfits. These pants? Yes to the jungle, palm print! These shoes? Hello, open back! I'm obsessed with both pieces. The pants I scored at Old Navy for literally $2.99. Don't ask me how, because I don't know. They were just on clearance! And these shoes, I'm just loving lately. White shoes are perfect for spring-- they're fresh, detailed and I love the little heel (perfect for the office!).

Even though it may not be spring juuuuust yet, you can definitely start bringing out your pieces now. Here's how!

Pair with knits-- like a turtleneck or sweater. Keeping the colours neutral will really bring about those springy vibes.

Pastel coloured accessories-- blush, lavender, robin's egg blue. Pairing heavier pieces with these colours make the perfect transitional outfits.

White shoes-- I love wearing white sneakers or a pair of slides (like these) with heavier items. As long as you can manage without socks you are good to go! It really feels like spring once the white shoes come out!

Entrance Way & DIY Palm Print Bench

DIY Palm Print Bench, Blogger Entrance Way, Interior Design, Palm Print Leopard, Homesense

Our place is by no means fully decorated. We didn't want to rush into buying pieces or furnishing every inch of the rooms with pieces that we didn't love. But I did want our entrance way to be complete. It's the first room I see when I walk into the house, and the last one I see when I leave the house. I wanted it to be inviting for guests and to give off happy fresh vibes. When we came into the house the paint colour was not allowed to be changed. My thoughts were "UGH- so much green!". If I had my way it would be a beautiful shade of... you guessed it, white! So I started thinking what is green and beautiful. Palm trees, duh! I love the look of leopard and palm print together, so I when I found this chair at HomeSense I immediately started looking for a palm print bench.  I found tons! However, for $199? No thanks. 

My mother so graciously gave me her old wooden bench and B and I got to working. I sourced the fabric at EuroFab (a fabulous fabric shop on Queen Street) and picked up a bed cover to act as the cushion. I sanded and painted the base of the bench, then we put it all together. I love that it opens and acts as a storage unit too. Overall we saved ourselves a pretty penny and I think the entrance way looks way more complete! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this little project. If you are interested here is how we put it together:
