{get this look} high vs low

Most of us are on a budget but who has the time to find the better deal? This image below has a few of my favourite things - wooden sideboard, comfy modern chair and of course a sheep rug. I found a few places where you can get this look by either breaking the bank or on the cheap!

{masculine monday} hey there fancy feet

For years it was okay for men to wear "running shoes" out in public even if they were not actually going for a run. Style gurus have transformed the classic "Jerry Seinfeld sneaker" look into a work of art and letting men be not only comfortable but stylish. Us ladies have countless brands and styles to choose from when it comes to footwear. As for the gents? Not quite the same.

When I am introduced to luxurious yet slim and super cool brand of mens footwear, I always share it! Welcome to the world of Generic Surplus from Los Angeles California.

hot pink nails, vegan leather + camo

It looks like camo is making a come-back in the fashion world (so happy about it) and this fun outfit is perfect for this warm spring season. Skinny pants are a favourite but something I don't even think about when the warm weather hits. I think I wore pants only 3 times last summer - it was a hot one here in Toronto! How fun are these hot pink nails and super feminine heels?

{wedding wednesday} perfect hair. perfect dress.

Most of us dream of this day and often stress that it won't be completely perfect. We flip through magazines and blogs searching for the perfect dress, hair style, flowers, cake, venue, groom, etc. I no longer have to stress. If I can copy and paste everything from this wedding, I will be a happy bride (when the day comes). Below is an entire list of how you can re-create this special day!

Seriously loving how the bridesmaids have casual sundresses on!

{spring is here} pink doors + brick

Spring has sprung! I have only seen one pink door in my neighbourhood and have been searching for another. I wonder if my mom would notice me painting our current black door to a pale pink? Or perhaps a mauve? 

* ps has anyone been watching Downton Abbey? My mom and I have been on a marathon and finished all 3 seasons in just under 2 weeks! Amazing and heart-wrenching at the same time. Everything I say or read is in a British or Irish accent. Anyone else do the same?
