My Sequin Camera Strap: Sam and Kate Designs

Today I'm taking some time to highlight one of my newest favourite accessories, as seen in my home tour on The Everygirl. I am completely smitten with my sequin camera strap from Sam and Kate Design. I went with the silver sequins and silver tulle combo, which I adore, but the girls have recently launched a whole bunch of other fab colour combos! It makes taking pictures for the blog way more fun, and Sam and Kate are such sweethearts!

My Walk In Closet Makeover Reveal

Well ladies (and gents, if you're out there), my $100 closet makeover is complete! I managed to add organization and some prettiness with some easy and affordable solutions. I scaled back my original plan considerably (like my idea about painting it blush...which I still think would have been beautiful), but the end result is glamorous and most importantly, functional. Mostly I used things I already had around my apartment for decor, like the sheepskin rug, art, chair and decorative touches. The money went to a new hamper, all matching hangers, some storage boxes and a can of gold spray paint.

Let's just take a look at the before...My laundry hamper had broken and the whole thing is generally a disaster. My mother would be ashamed....I'm ashamed!

And now the incomparably better afters:

It really is the closet of my dreams! Tomorrow I will be going over the changes I made in more detail, as well as sharing sources and looking at the other side of my closet which is less glamorous than this side (needs to house cleaning supplies, etc.) but is neat and organized!

I can't wait to hear what you all think!

Merry Christmas from Me to You

 I made it home to Waterloo where I will be spending Christmas and some much needed R&R with my family. I will be back in the New Year, but I wanted to take this time to wish the happiest of Holidays to you and your family. Thank you so much for following along my journey and for making this year such a success. I am so grateful for each and every one of you!  May God Bless you and shine in your hearts this joyous season.
(And yes, I know I overdid it with the tinsel on my little tree, but I kind of love it!).

Merry Christmas, my loves.

Daisies for Days

Yesterday was a scorcher here in Toronto. To me it felt like the true last day of summer weather, and what better time to bust out my new daisy crop top? I also chopped the legs off a pair of high waisted jeans that I found at Good Will for six dollars. When I was a little girl I had a pair of daisy sandals that I loved - and I'm considering this top the grown up equivalent!

Consider this my farewell to summer! I'm going to miss you.
Couldn't you have at least left me with a tan to remember you by?

Needing.Wanting.Loving: Sequin Pants

 It's Victoria Day here in Canada and holidays always get me thinking about party pants...I know I'm not the only one.

I need a pair of sequin pants and I need them NOW. How bratty of me, no? I have the most perfect event for them this weekend! Plus I would totally wear them to see The Great Gatsby. I feel like that's the kind of movie you gotta get glammed up for...am I right?

I'm really loving the gold and silver options. Oh and true story...until I was 14 I actually thought it was called a 'sequaine'. Good one Tiff.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend/ Happy May 2-4 to all my Canadian followers!
