Facebook + Blog Design



Okay fabulous followers, I've got a new way for you to show your support! I've just created a Facebook page for the blog. I'll be posting blog updates there as well as other links & lovely random bits that don't make it here. You can like it here (there's now a tab in the sidebar as well). I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your support! So a huge thanks in advance ;) 

On which note: If you've been following me up until this point you will have noticed that I've finally implemented some long over-due design changes to make the page a little easier to navigate. A huge thanks to Sue of As It Seems Designs for all the work she put into creating this look & the endless emails back & forth! Like any website it's a work in progress. To make sure things are perfect as possible for you lovely readers I would appreciate any feedback or constructive criticisms you may have! :)

Last but not least, a few words on the look above: This is a typical errand-running outfit for me. It's pretty much a jumble of my favourite & most comfortable pieces thrown together. On the rare occasion that I wear jeans I like to pair them with heels to dress them up & throw some brights or prints into the mix. This particular day I chose the brightest of bright bags, my fluro pink Cambridge satchel; & added a touch of glitz with my beloved Spike the Punch necklace! How do you jazz up your errand-wear?

I was wearing:
Turquoise Batwing top - Piko1988, via Nastygal
Dark legging jeans - Banana Republic
Pink fluro bag - Cambridge Satchel Company (here)
Rainey necklace - Spike the Punch
Pointy-toed heels - Spring (old)
Wayfarers - Ray Ban

Kaleidoscope






1. Spike the Punch Rainey necklace + Banana Republic Denim Button-down. Perfect amount of glitz for a casual day! As soon as I go through the photos, I'll post the full outfit :)

2. I felt like a 12 year old, guiltily buying this copy of Teen Vogue. But hey I had to - Andy, Chiara, & Carolina were featured, so I had to take notice. I adore their Werelse line for Mango; only wish it were available in Canada!

3. Also just picked up this new nail polish & love it to pieces. It's 610 Lily by Revlon. The colour & coverage are both fantastic. I definitely foresee it being my go-to polish for the summer. Though I still need to find the perfect mint colour. What nail colours are you favouring at the moment?

4. Most of you know I have a penchant for bright statement pieces. Same goes for my running gear... so when I saw this pair of fluorescent running shoes I just had to have them. This picture does no justice to the colour; they're honestly so bright I do a double-take every time I scan over them in my closet haha

Have yourself a fabulous weekend! <3

New In: Spike the Punch



Despite my 4 AM mad dash to the airport, I ended up missing my flight to Halifax by literally one minute. Finally here & checked in, I figured I'd get in a quick blog post before my busy weekend! 


I'm so excited to finally show you all the latest edition to my accessory collection - a Rainey necklace by Spike the Punch! These elusive handmade beauties sell out in minutes after being posted on Etsy; in fact I've been trying to get one since the Autumn to no avail. The constant stalking was certainly worth it. When my pink + purple version arrived in the mail last Tuesday I squealed with delight. Not only was it every bit as lovely as I had imagined, it was also packaged delightfully & thoughtfully. Elizabeth, the creator & shop owner, is an absolute doll & I can't say enough wonderful things about her customer service. I'll definitely continue trying to get another colour in the Rainey, & perhaps her Addison necklace as well. My week has been such a whirlwind that I haven't gotten in an outfit post, but you can certainly expect one soon. In the meantime, I'm currently wearing my Rainey necklace to jazz up my colourful airport outfit :)

It's boarding time! Have a lovely weekend everyone :)
