Piercing Pinks

Apparently I am drawn to all things pink these days. I hadn't noticed until, I was packing up my suitcase getting ready to head back west. See for yourself all the pink I recently added to my life. Maybe pink is my new favorite color....move over green this piercing color seems to be warming my heart.

Blushing

Today we are talking about something I never thought we would. What is it? A very scary 5-lettered word in my mind, blush. It is the one makeup item I have been deathly afraid of since a Bobbi Brown makeup artist in Vegas talked me into hot pink cheeks years ago. Bad choice. 

However, that has all changed thanks to my new found love for NARS blush duo in amour/desire. This pink & peach combo allows me to create an easy everyday look or, if feeling daring, I can add some va-va-voom with a slight pop of pink. The mini blush duo seems less frightening when paired with an incandescent illuminator (Orgasm), my all time favorite lip gloss Turkish Delight & a sheer gloss Greek Holiday. I have always been OBSESSED with Nars, even more so now with their Love Rite gift set.

Feel Good Friday- Get Bold

 It is quite obvious I love-love-love color...the brighter, the bolder, the better! Here are some of my favorite ways to add a splash of color to your Friday {everyday}. 

Is your wardrobe full of grey & black? Spice it up with a fun colored top or bottom. If a bold tee is too much for you choose a bright colored bra and let it pop under an off the shoulder shirt. Bright colors don't have to be limited to just your wardrobe or accessories; try adding a pop of color in your home (bright cabinets, door, or furniture).  Like what you see here check out my Pinterest board Bright & Bold. 

Happy Friday everyone xoxo.

Our Dream Condo

My fiancé & I are beyond excited to move into our new place this summer! Located right in the heart of the city; we are within walking distance to bakeries, pubs, coffee houses, and boutiques. We can't wait to add our little touches & truly make this place our own.

Love the outside of our building, looks so homey. Can't wait to enjoy morning coffee on the front balcony.

Original hardwood floors, open floor plan, & exposed brick what more could we want?

How about a cute little built-in bookshelf to home all of my vintage books I hoard collect.

Love the storage we will have in this newly remodeled kitchen. Imagine all the crepes that will be made in this space! 

We are on the hunt for the perfect round table that extends allowing us to host all of our family over for dinner parties. 

Updated kitchen & bath? Score! The lighting is perfect for makeup application :)

The master bedroom has wonderful lighting.

Spare bedroom is quite spacious and will be ready for visitors this summer....any takers?!

Topshop @ The Bay

This UK store is popping up in The Bays throughout Canada. It is quite refreshing to be able to shop Topshop's goods without having to travel to Chicago or New York (if you live in North America). I was pleasantly surprised to see how much product they had to offer; everything including shoes, handbags, and clothing. 

Their merch displays. They were offering 20% off to students with a valid ID I almost harassed high schoolers to get the discount.

All the goods that found their way into my dressing room. Cozy knits, neutral oversized tees, & bold colored hoodies.

The store is so popular all of the sizes were picked over & unfortunately nothing fit properly. Boo. 

Doesn't mean my sister-in-law didn't find some dreamy tops! We will be hitting up another Topshop location later this week. Fingers crossed I can scoop up some of their trendy goods then!

Stone Age Launch Party

A week ago we celebrated the launch of the spring alexa collection Stone Age. It was such an exciting evening, I loved getting to see all of the reactions to my new pieces.

Love this shot of one of the display tables.

Earrings galore!

I thought we should have the big bottle.

Cheers!

Mini cupcakes, the perfect size to allow you to try all the flavors.

Awesome close-up of my necklaces, see one you like? Order them here.

My vintage serving dish served as my braided bracelets holder.

Delish mac & cheese cups I used this recipe.

Taking custom orders, love it!

Trying them on to see how they look.

Shopping shopping shopping!
