Things that would be nice to have...

I have been trying to find the perfect aviators...but the right ones just haven't come along. I majorly need by Vegas - so I guess now the hunt continues and my first stop will be Michael Kors.

Diamonds are a girls best friend. My mom had bought me some beautiful diamond earrings a long time ago - but I unfortunately lost them. I would really like to get a new pair. They are the perfect accessory that is very timeless. You can wear them every day, with every outfit! I love the shape of the ones above!

Gold scissors? Ahmaze. Once we move into the new house - I'm buying these. I love them!

Every girl needs the perfect LBD. I don't feel like I have one in my wardrobe right now. I want one that would be good for day or night. Something simple and elegant. The right LBD is really hard to find...

What's a girl to do when she wants a great black bag and has to choose between Celine + Balenciaga?

I really want fun and interesting details like this lamp at the new house. They would add character and charm.

The perfect party partner. Music is the key to a good party - so this will also be needed for the endless amount of gatherings that I hope to have at the new house. Space = Party.

Oh and since it's Friday and the weekend is almost here, wanted to share with you some amazing recipes I've maid via Pinterest in the past week - so you can enjoy too!

Skinny Cheesy Potatoes: These were really good - but I used real potatoes and grated them. Next time I would cube them.

Huevos Rancheros:  Such a great breakfast! I ate mine without the tortilla since I am on a health regime, but my fiance loved it with the tortilla. I also added cheese just for some extra flavour!

Hummus: On Pinterest - this was titled, "Best Hummus Recipe Ever!" - well it's true. It is delicious and I pretty much ate the whole dip in 3 days.

Lemon + Feta Dip: Very light and packed with flavour. Takes about 2 minutes to whip up! I cut up some carrots and cucumber and toasted some pitas for dipping. I tossed the leftover dip into some kale and it made an unreal dresses - you just have to add a bit of olive oil to thin it out.

Turkey Lettuce Tacos: This was dinner the other night. Such great flavouring in the meat. 

7 Layer Crazy Greek Dip: Made this for Easter dinner. It's more like a meal and hard to scoop. Tasted great thou.

Happy shopping, cooking, and decorating this weekend!

The Short Suit

With the sun shining brightly and Spring hopefully around the corner - get out to the mall and pick up a short suit. A must have closet addition for Spring! This suit is the ultra-feminine take on a menswear inspired look. It is chic enough for most offices (just watch your length of shorts - take it closer to the knee!) and still whoa enough for a night out. There is just something inherently charming about shorts suit.

Bikini shopping seems to be the type of shopping that most women hate. Trying on bikinis when your skin is pasty and hasn't seen the sun in months - is the absolute worst! I've been on the hunt lately for the perfect honeymoon bikini's and of course a few for Vegas for my bachelorette party. I'm really into the brazilin cut bikinis and the above are my favourites that I have found so far. The minimal coverage for your bottom makes the bather more exotic and sexy for the perfect honeymoon with your new husband!

The only pair of sunglasses you need this Spring + Summer...

Mirrored aviator sunglasses are the "IT" eyewear for this Spring + Summer. You can wear them when your dressed up, at the beach, or casual. Try to choose a pair that match with the colours you wear most often or you can choose a far out colour that would pop with anything you wear. The ultimate thing to remember is choose a pair that matches your skin tone and colouring.

Thinking about flowers...

This morning I was reading through twitter and catching up on Facebook and I couldn't believe how many people are wishing for Spring, sunshine, and the warmth. It got me thinking that we are looking to brighten things up and are so VERY OVER WINTER! 

Florals are really big for Spring, whether it be for your home decor or outfit. They brighten up a space and are very feminine and beautiful. When one thinks about floral - weddings is the first to pop to mind. At least for me. Although flowers are a big part of weddings - they should play a bigger part in our overall style - both at home and in our fashions. 

Floral pattern or print can be styled as an accent piece for a room through cushions, an upholstered chair, a throw, or even a lamp shade. If you are a bit more playful with your home decor you could take floral inspiration and apply it to many different elements in a room, from wallpaper, to sofa, to area rug - you name it!

The same goes for your outfits. Floral can be an accent to an outfit through a t-shirt, bag, shoes, or jacket. Or if you like to push the limits with fashion and style - you can opt for a head to know mixed floral print outfit. This really is a hot look for Spring!

Be inspired by these floral home decor and oufit ideas...
