Ballet Flats

I'm a late joiner to the ballet flats club but I'm happy to say I've joined and I'm in love. I'm typically a heels person since I'm only 5'2 but with being pregnant and my feet hurting, flats are just the way to go.

Flats can be super trendy without looking grandma-ish and go with a lot of outfits.

Here are a few great pairs that I think every women should have and enjoy!

How great would these be with a pair of skinny jeans or in the office with a grey or black pant?

I'd love these for the spring and summer. They'd be perfect with a white pant, shorts or an above the knee dress / skirt.

So tell me, have you jumped on the ballet flat bandwagon? Which pair is your favourite?



Birks Spring Charms

Being Canadian, born and raised, means when I can, I love promoting Canadian businesses. I mean, we need to help our own, correct? Birks, a leading Canadian luxury brand of fine, stunning jewelry has pieces I'm always drooling over. Whenever I'm at Yorkdale or strolling Bloor Street I can't help myself but take a walk through the Birks store and imagine myself dripping in jewels!

If you know me you know I love pretty things. Whether it's makeup, a new pair of shoes or jewelery, I'm a girly girl and a lover of all things pretty. A couple weeks ago I received an email informing me about the new line of Birks Spring Charms and fell in love immediately. The charms are affordable, trendy and everything a girl could ask for!

Here are a few of my favourites that I think you will enjoy too.

Small Girl Silhouette Charm

This girl is adorable and a charm I'd love to have dangling from my wrist or neck.

Large Dog Silhouette Charm

Art Deco Collection

I adore everything about yellow gold and cannot wait to add this piece to my collection.

So enlighten me - which of these charms can you see dangling from your wrist or neck?

Favourite Spring Fashion Trend

Happy Leap Year!

My favourite trend for spring is coloured jeans - I want a pair in more than one colour. They're fun, flirty and bright - just like spring should be!

They're perfect - you can dress them up or down with flats, heels, a casual tee or a flowy whimsy shirt. I'd love a pair of pink and green ones!

Is this a trend you'll be on board with this spring? What colour are you loving?

Spring is almost here...hopefully :)

 

With the bright, sunny, warmer weather we've been having this week, today excluded, I thought I'd talk about the seasons changing and how that affects us.  When the sun shines longer people are happier, relaxed and refreshed. Some of my favourite things to do in the spring are go for walks and spring cleaning. What are all of you doing to enjoy the beginning of spring?

With spring comes summer, and outdoor parties. Last July my parents hosted a fabulous engagement party for Michael and I in their backyard. Everything was beyond lovely, we couldn't have asked for more. I thought I'd share some pictures for backyard party, decor inspiration.

Enjoy the Party,

Nicole :)
