Farmers Market Baskets

Hi Everyone!
Summer's coming soon (or am I just too excited?) and when I see these baskets, they bring back so many memories of a summer farmer's market!
I really love that these look like the classic fruit baskets but are actually stoneware. I think these would be so cute to just have on your desk as a place to put stationary such as sticky notes, pens, tape, or even craft supplies. These would be especially festive in the Summer and you could use these as gift baskets and fill them with a lot of small gifts, wrap them up nicely and give them to your friend or family member for their birthday! You can find these at Anthropologie.

Neon Strap Wedge Sandals

Hey Everyone!
Recently I've really been loving the things that Forever 21 has for Springtime, so you may be seeing a lot of posts about products from there.
This shoe really caught my attention because of the pop of neon colour that it has on the back. I really like that it's a neutral colour for the rest of the shoe and has a small heel to make it a little more dressy. The buckle adds more character to the shoe and the criss cross pattern makes it more fun. This is the perfect shoe for a summer dinner, concert or lunch with your friends. You can purchase this at Forever 21

Dipped Wood Box

Hi Everyone!
Pops of colours excite me and make things more interesting and fun. That us why this caught my eye!
I especially like this wooden box because you could use this for a variety of things. You could have it on your desk and put pencils and markers in it. You could also use it for a cookie or coin jar! There's so many possibilities on how to use this. The box will spice up your room and add more colour to it. Perfect for Spring! You can purchase this at Urban Outfitters

Together and Apartment

Hey Everyone!
I love quirky prints, so this dress definitely caught my eye.
The unique thing about this dress is that it is made out of apartment fabric!! It's just so fun that it blows my mind. The soft pastel colours make it perfect for Spring and the pattern really makes people do a double take, because at first glance, it just looks like a really colourful dress. Because of this print, you can wear this to more casual occasions like a brunch out with your friends, to the mall, or even to a casual dinner. You can find this dress at Modcloth.

Railroad Weekender

Hey Readers!
I have a slight obsession with bags and always love looking for them in stores, though I rarely buy them.
This bag definitely stood out to me because of it's classic design. It has dark brown leather handles, which tones down the fun railroad stripes, making it look a little less nautical. This is especially a great bag for carrying around a lot of things, or as an overnight bag. I love the versatility and colours that it contains. I wouldn't mind investing a little money to purchase this, and definitely want to pick this up next time I'm at Forever 21

Seams Like Yesterday

Hey Readers!
As you know, I've been loving green and am excited to go Spring shopping and pick up a lot of pieces that include green!

This dress is a really nice army green colour, which is honestly my favourite shade ever. I love this shade because it's not too bright, but it's still subtle while being colourful at the same time. This features a high neckline and is flared out. I think this would look amazing for a more dressy lunch, concert or for more formal occasions! You can purchase this at Modcloth.

Supersoft Legging With Zippers

Hey Everyone! 
For the last couple of months, I've had an obsession with wearing leggings for the majority of the week because they're just so comfy and easy to wear.
I like the colour of these because when I wear black shirts, I don't like to wear black leggings with it, so these would create a good contrast between the two pieces. These are like a brown/taupe colour and I think these would be perfect for the Spring when you want something a little lighter than black. These would be perfect to wear out to the mall, the movies, or for a stroll in your neighbourhood. You can purchase these at Garage.

Teal Twirl

Hey Readers!
Teal is one of my favourite colours...unless I look at it for too long, which then makes me think it looks tacky. But other than that, I love teal. It's a pretty mixture of green and blue, leaning more towards green.
So you have probably noticed that I love dresses with any kind of flared skirt and that's true! I do love the flared look, not those totally straight dresses that look extremely uncomfortable. It's bright and happy- perfect for Spring, while still being a little neutral, because of the darker colour. This would look great on anyone going to a semi-formal event, but could also be dressed down by adding a casual cardigan on top. You can purchase this on Modcloth

Owl Mug

Hey Everyone!
So birds and mugs are both things I love, so when they're put together, it's just perfect to me.
These mugs are a glossy white mug shaped into an owl and I love that because it's very simple and neutral while being cute at the same time. From far away, it might just look like an irregularly shaped mug, but it's actually a work of art. I love these pieces because they are so versatile and you could use it not just for drinks, but for pencils, eyeliners, or a coin cup. It could be displayed in your bedroom to add a little more character. It's really up to you! You can purchase this at Chapters

Shoreline Soiree

Hey Readers!
Surprises always excite me, though unfortunately not that many happen in my daily life.
The reason I was drawn to this dress was because of its classic design, but with a twist. I was shocked by the berry trim, but adored it at the same time. This dress seems so conservative when you first glance at it, but when you see the pop of colour, it gives it a fun vibe which makes it so unique. This would look amazing if you wore it to a semi-formal event. You can purchase this at Modcloth.

Envelope Crossbody

Hey Everyone!
Crossbody bags are my favourite type of bag. Why? Well, they're so easy to carry and are amazing compared to tote bags because you don't have to worry about them falling off your shoulder and being in that awkward position of the bag halfway down your arm (and not in a good way).
I especially love this bag because it looks really business like, but when you use it for a casual outing, it looks even better because it adds some sophistication to a very comfy outfit! It's also a very neutral colour so it practically matches everything, and is a good small size that it carries just enough, but won't weigh you down. This would look amazing if you were going to the mall, out to eat lunch, or into the city! You can find this at Forever 21.

Flight Hearted

Hey Readers!
Now I've already told you about my obsession with birds, so it's not a surprise that I am IN LOVE with this particular dress!
The taupe colour really makes the green and blue birds pop and I don't even find the ribbon necessary, but it still goes well with the design. This is one of my favourite dresses I've ever seen and it looks so lively even though it contains mostly neutral colours. I think this could be worn to a casual event, but also to a formal event. Just switch up your shoes and it could go either way! I love the versatility that this piece has. You can find this at Modcloth.

Solrun

Hi Readers!
So I used to have an obsession with sewing and it also gave me a lot of inspiration and made me more creative. The most fun part of sewing for me, was picking out the fabric. Going into a fabric store and being swallowed by all the bright colour and textures was like heaven to me.

I recently saw this fabric and was in love with it! This reminds me so much of Spring with the flowers blooming! I love that it's more like watercolour shapes instead of prominent flowers. The colours are an amazing mixture, and I couldn't help myself and went ahead and purchased a few metres to hopefully sew a pillow case or hand bag.  This fabric just gives me so much inspiration and I love, love, love it. You can purchase this at Ikea.

Swatch and Learn

Hey Everyone!
Now I know what you're thinking...another dress? But yes, dresses actually inspire me a lot just by their fabric, even though I don't own a lot of them.
This dress in particular caught my eye because of the innocent "school-girl" colours. I love how there's a little bit of a billow where the yellow and red meet because that just gives it a more relaxed look. I also like how there's some blue on the bottom to add more interest and I think this would be awesome to wear on a casual day out in the Spring or Summer. Love it, as always! You can purchase this at Modcloth

Mini Latte Bowls

Hey Everyone!
During January and February seems to be very long for me with the overcast sky and cold air. This is why I like to have brighter colours surrounding me, to brighten my mood.
These bowls are perfect for scoops of icecream, yogurt, small portions of cereal and snacks. They're bright, fun, and have a tapered form. I love that they are small, but large enough to have a good amount of food. These can be used throughout the year, not necessarily just for Summer and Spring. Use these in the colder months just to cheer you up! You can find these at Anthropologie.

Coral Concert

Hey readers!
I love bright colours in the warmer months because that's what makes clothes exciting and interesting to look at. They are also proven to boost your energy and make you happier, which is always a plus! 
This dress caught my eye right away due to it's colour. High necklines are amazing in my opinion because they make a colourful dress look more classy. This dress has a see-through chiffon layer on top which adds a lighter and casual feel to it. I also love the silver bow belt on it which breaks up the bright colour (and who doesn't love bows?) You can never go wrong with red and I think it would look awesome on any skin tone. You can find this dress at Modcloth.

Plum & Bow Bird Blossom

Hey everyone!
I've recently become obsessed with birds prints. I find they just look really clean and natural and having prints of them on normal objects accentuates the beauty of our everyday creatures.
Waking up to this duvet everyday would honestly brighten my morning. I love the cream base which gives the room a warmer feel, and I especially like the pop of colour from the bird! Pairing this with white pillows like the picture above would be perfect. I personally think that having pillow cases in the same pattern would be a little overkill so I like the contrast between the white and the cream. You can purchase this duvet cover at Urban Outfitters.

Kati Mug

Hi Everyone!
Tea is a great drink to reenergize and calm yourself at the same time. I love drinking it when I'm cold or reading a book. There are so many different kinds of teas but I especially love Vanilla Rooibos!

 
I love these designs because they're so earthy and natural. Also, since I've confessed my love for the colour green in an earlier post, this is no surprise that I chose these two mugs as my favourites, with "Birdsong" being my favourite. These are 12 oz. ceramic mugs with stainless steel infusers which brew loose leaf tea perfectly. The lid that comes with it keeps the drink warm in case you won't be getting around to drinking it for a while. When I first saw cups like these, I thought that it was an absolute brilliant invention and I still think they are. You can purchase these at Tea Forté.

Fun and Only Dress

Hello everyone! 
Now, I'm really loving green this year. It's because, in my eyes, green is a fresh, happy, warm colour that reminds me so much of freshly cut grass on a Spring day. I love the cleanness of the colour and I think I'm going to be buying of clothes in green this year!

Now, I love an in between of light and medium coloured green, like this dress above. I like the neckline and curve of the straps the dress has which adds a uniqueness to it. I especially love the white bow in the middle, stitching in the waist because it adds a touch of Summer to it. White is an awesome Summer colour that never grows old! I can just picture this dress at a fun family reunion picnic. The flare of the bottom of this dress is subtle, which makes it a little more elegant, perfect for a more dressy, but fun occasion. You can find this dress at Modcloth.

Homegrown Monogram Mugs

Hi Readers!
You should probably know that I have a little obsession with mugs! I've taken pottery classes and now fully appreciate the art and form of a mug.
 

I personally LOVE these mugs because the form is really unique. It subtly goes out a little at the middle and has a pretty small handle, but that's why I like it so much. It's different from all the mugs I've seen before and to make a good product you have to be different from everyone else. This is a good example. The patterns are so cozy and I think they would fit perfectly in anyone's home. These are found at Anthropologie.

Demure and Simple

Hello everyone!
I'm so excited to start posting content on this new blog. I have lots of posts lined up for you to read and basically what they're going to be about are things that I've seen that either inspires me, or makes me happy. That's it. I thought that I could enjoy something like this because what else is better than talking (erm, writing) about something you love?


Today's post is about a dress that I am in love with it! It's a simple, yet fun and cheery, enough to brighten any mood with it's slightly flared bottom and high neckline. I love that it stitches in at the waist, and you could easily add a thin belt to add more character. This dress screams "SPRING!" to me with it's red floral design. Floral patterns are what draw me into stores in the Spring and Summer, because they are just so versatile! Wear this at a dance, party, or day out- it doesn't matter. This dress would look amazing on any day. You can find this at Modcloth.
