Perfect Plaid

This season another fashion favourite is plaid or tartan pattern. Embrace it, layer it, and dress it up! It's a cozy neutral that can look uber chic!

{Happy Canada Day} EH

This weekend I'm heading to Whiskey Pines to celebrate a long weekend & Canada's Bday! Last weekend we bought a boat - so I'm super excited to be out on the water all weekend and touring around the lake! Smore's are my absolute favourite thing & what a better place to enjoy then at the cottage. 

Here's my secret to the best Smore's ever:

Graham Crackers

Marshmellows

Caramilk Bars 

I'm sure I don't need to tell you how to make them - but there you have it - the Caramilk is what makes my smores the best EVER!

Here are some other fun Canada Day ideas for you and your family or friendships:

{Happy Holidays} Easter Planning

With Easter just around the corner I thought I would share my decor inspiration for the holiday. I'm a sucker for family events, especially when they are hosted at the cottage. This will be our first Easter at the cottage & I want it to be special and memorable...

{There is nothing better than sitting down together as a family & decorating Easter eggs}

{The table setting is really important to me - I like everyone to know where they are supposed to sit. I plan on using this idea as inspiration - but adding my own twist and creative touch to the idea.}

{Yes - don't you just love these!  Oh Joy! posted a blog about these neon dip dyed eggs - and they are way more fun than the traditional egg decorating kits and more chic too!}

{I plan on using this decor idea (variation of it) to decorate the bar - everyone loves a good cocktail - may as well make the bar festive & pretty!}

{Chocolate is the food of Easter - I plan on making these yummy desserts for the fam to enjoy!}

{Great spin on the mason jar & traditional vases; these are the perfect centerpiece for Easter.}

{Lace is so delicate & pretty - I plan on having a burlap table cloth with a lace overlay.}

I am super excited for Easter...now I better get crack'in (lol) and start getting everything together (materials, fabric, paper, lace, etc) that  I need to put this inspiration into reality!

What are you doing for Easter? What's your favourite part!?

I always post my inspiration on pinterest - I even have a holiday specific board; check it out, here.

{Look Out Thursday} A Little Hanky Panky on Valentine's Day!

With this romantic holiday just around the corner, there are so many gift options out there. Every woman loves jewelry, spa days, flowers, lingerie, chocolate, and the list goes on and on.  

 I wanted to suggest an easy gift to buy your special lady on Valentine’s Day- Hanky Panky’s. Trust me on this- your lady may already know and love Hanky Panky’s or you will score big time by introducing to her the world’s most comfortable thong.  If thong's aren't your ladies thang - they have great fuller buttom options as well. You just can’t go wrong with this idea! 

 For Valentine’s, Hanky Panky’s are available in a heart shaped box-containing 3 pairs or you can find a single pair shaped into a rose – how romantic! Holt Renfrew is also offering monogrammed Hanky Panky’s this weekend if you buy 2 pairs- this is a great option to add a personal touch to this lingerie.  

 Get Shopping! xx
