Behind P&P- 10 things you didn't know about me

happy second birthday pastels&pastries

After two years of entering this so called blogging world, I can't believe how much pastels&pastries has evolved! It is really something I adore putting together and am constantly charmed by. I love creating a space that can inspire you to add some fun, flair, and gold gilded accessories to your everyday, and I hope it does just that! Really- thank you all coming back post after post! And I really love hearing from you so if you have any suggestions/ideas/feedback please feel free to comment or email me anytime!

In light of P&P’s second birthday I thought I would get all personal and share ten facts you probably didn’t know about me.

Blue Valentine

The typical Valentine's Day colours may be pink and red, but that doesn't mean that getting all fancied up for love day in any other colour can't be just as romantic. Blue is dreamy, peaceful and signifies trust and intelligence, and I'm all for celebrating those qualities, too! Even though I'll most likely be parading around in my beloved blush pink on love day I couldn't resist getting all dressed up for an outing this past weekend in a serious VDay outfit contender.  So flowy, so fun and so girly! Even though we were facing some super wind (which made for some blurry shots), sometimes you have to just do a little twirl and embrace the wind in your hair (or up your midi).

What do you think? Will you be switching up the colour pallet this February 14th, or are you sticking to the classic colours?

February Fun

Despite the extreme cold, the first week of February was not bad by any standards. It began with a snow day at home on Monday, it gave way to a fun industry awards gala on Wednesday and concluded with a bit of baking as our replacement stove was delivered on Friday (we've been without an oven since New Year's Day- if you were wondering what was up with the lack of baked goods). I'm excited to indulge in a relaxing Sunday and kick off what is sure to be an exciting week. There is loads of fun coming up- stay tuned! But in the mean time here are some snaps of my February fun so far.
