Neutrals and Roses

My weekend style has been relaxed, neutral and free flowing as of late. Blush, cream, beige, powder blue seem to be all the colours calling my name! Last weekend I got together with a few of the blogger girls for our #TOBloggerCrawl. We started off at Yang's (our favourite flower shop on the Avenue/Davenport strip), and picked out gorgeous bouquets. I went for a simple mix of multi-coloured roses and carnations, which lasted me the week (my $3 carnations are still in mint condition). After we hit up Saturday Dinette for a kitschy brunch, and had a necessary cup of coffee in gorgeous china. The green pea puree was divine, while there are no words to describe the buckwheat pancakes and maple butter. 

When I saw this trench during Club Monaco's boxing week sale I was totally skeptical and actually considered returning it. Winter was just approaching and I was torn… would I get enough use out of it? Was I insane? This piece is the ultimate transition piece, and has taken me from season to season. Great with boots and black in colder weather, and equally as good paired with neutrals as the warmer weather makes it's mark. So, so happy I kept it. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet, make the tiny investment, and wait it out.

Does that ever happen to you? You buy something and contemplate returning it… but ultimately keep it, and discover it's become a closet staple?

Sometimes making the most minor of changes to your daily routine will make you feel most glamorous. 

You must know by know that Easter is my favourite holiday. Not just for the influx of pastel coloured everything (which I am obviously obsessed with), but with Easter comes spring and the notion of revival and fresh life. Whether it be the grass or the gardens, there is definitely a sense of blossoming and blooming in the air, and I can't get enough. 

Even as a little girl I would always put my favourite floral or pastel coloured dress on for Easter celebrations with the family. This year will be no different. Besides the fact that it makes me totally nostalgic, I love the chance to pull out all my feminine pieces and get extra girly. I especially love this colour pairing; nude and pink is such a classically girly combination! To really up the glam factor I added my mom's vintage hair clip and created a semi up-do. It's a rare occasion for me to style my hair differently, but the little change made such a huge impact, not only to the outfit, but to how I felt. Instantly I felt so elegant and graceful, and it's something I will definitely be trying more of from now on. 

What's the one thing you do to instantly elevate your look? Is it an extra swipe of liquid eyeliner, or a bold lip? And let me know, will you be dressing up for Easter?

A trip to Niagara way is never complete without a stop in Burlington, Ontario. Although it was too cold to stroll the waterfront the cold did not stop me from hitting up two of my favourite Burlington shops: Kelly's Bake Shoppe, and Centro Garden. When we left the city, the sun was shinning and the temperature was above freezing, hence my decision to pull out this trench one more time. Thank goodness for layering and turtlenecks, because once we made our way past Oakville the clouds rolled in and the temps dropped. This combination of warm gloves, a cashmere scarf and a knit turtleneck was my saving grace. That, and Kelly's mile high brownie. 

I'm so happy it's Friday again! Do you have any weekend plans? Try incorporating a pop of colour into your outfit and feel your mood automatically lift!
