Today I'm sharing my kind of go-to look with my Naked 2 palette using three of my favourite shades. It's pretty simple, with a ton of blending to achieve a very neutral, pretty and light everyday look.
Thanks for watching! xo

I threw my best friend a baby shower last weekend and I wanted to share some of the details with you.
I started planning in November, and began with designing an invite. Since Sarah is having a boy, and loves grey, I chose the colour scheme of grey and turquoise. From there I kept the theme cohesive by using the polka dots and the picture of the stylish, pregnant stick woman--a perfect emulation of Sarah.
I wanted everything to look very Pinterest, as Sarah had pinned and mentioned several things she liked in conversation of the course of several months. As she is very creative--hello weekly chalkboard preggo pics--I wanted to do her proud and really focus on small details that make a big impact.
I'd love to share some photos with you if you'd like to see...
Since Sarah doesn't like cake, I special ordered 24 mini pies from Life of Pie in Ottawa in her favourites: strawberry-rhubarb, blueberry & pecan. I displayed them on a cake stand and stuck in little toothpick decorations I made.
More pictures after the jump…
A make-over for my site has been a long time coming and while I will eventually switch over to another platform and get more customized, I'm really happy to share with you a more streamlined version of my blog.
So what's changed?
| There are navigational pages at the top, so if you're new--or not--you can easily find your way around.
| The search bar has moved up to the top and you can easily access all my social media links below it.
| The formatting is a little different, and I'm really pleased with how my posts align now, with the title front and centre along with the date.
| Another cool option, you can share all posts with one click! Below each post, there is a Facebook / Twitter / Pinterest option for sharing, which will open up a share window for you to easily post to your favourite social media site--that is, if you want to share something.
| I created a new header to be congruous with my business cards, Style Consulting business and other social media platforms.
And finally, the design was done by Mlekoshi Playground & offered by Luvly.co.
As always, thanks so much for coming here and checking out what I'm up to. I hope you like the new layout and find it more pleasing to the eye and easier to read. Feedback is welcome as I want this to be a place you want to come, enjoy and like looking at.
Friday night pedicures with my bestie--so needed.
I threw on my favourite boots since it was dry outside with no sign of snow nor ice to head to my man's place later on.
A mishmash dinner on Friday night of take-out pad thai & Bourbon chicken.
Saturday early morning gym sesh; I ran for the first time in a while. My calves still hurt.
The fresh pedi with an awkward foot shot.
I spent the entire day on Saturday running errands in preparation for Sarah's baby shower that I was throwing on Sunday… except for a two hour break in Winners. I loved the cut and fit of these sweatpants--to wear with heels--but I couldn't get past the colour as I would really like these in a charcoal heather grey instead. I did, however, purchase the top I'm wearing (it's Vero Moda).
My favourite steeped tea getting me through the day.
Much, much later on Saturday night, once all baby shower preparations were finished, I slipped into some OTK boots and had an impromptu date night with Marco.
We went to Lonestar and on a whim, and at his suggestion I got a lime Margarita… and then I got a second one.
Sunday was the baby shower and it went perfectly. I was so please with how the table turned out, I worked so hard on creating and designing all the decorations. More pictures and detailed shots to come.
My outfit for the shower.
Outfit deets: Spense top (new!), Urban Planet leatherette leggings, Liliana wedges (new!) & Auslini bangle.
A sweet treat while watching Breaking Bad on Sunday night; a Wendy's frosty--mmm!
I'm so behind in sharing these on my blog but the truth is, I took far longer than I hoped to edit them and get them up… and Sunday's vlog is still in the editing queue. Trials and tribs, I tell ya; I'll post it here once complete though so check back.
Thanks for watching! xo
