Easter Floral Arrangments

With Easter less than a week away I thought I'd dedicate this weeks posts to the first long weekend of spring!

Are you hosting a big family dinner this week or heading to relatives? Either way, why not add some Easter excitment to the floral arrangments in your home.

Which arrangment is your favourite? Will you be adding something like this to your table this weekend?

Delicious, Sweet & Trendy Cupcakes

Does anyone else love cupcakes as much as I do? I find them much more enjoyable than a piece of cake and love how lady like they are. The options are endless and they never disappoint!

If you're hosting a bridal shower this wedding season I personally think these would be a fabulous addition.

 I adore this and would love to eat this while enjoying a glass of bubbly!

These would be fabulous at a birthday party or some sort of celebration.

Tell me, are you a cupcake or cake person?

Have a fabulous weekend :)

Life & Friends

Today is going to be a bit nutty for me... Work is crazy and I'm hosting a Stella & Dot party tonight where I'm expecting upwards of 25 fabulous ladies! That said, a fabulous quote is all I have time for today!

One Year Anniversary.....

I realized yesterday my 1 year blog-versary was a few days ago. I can't believe I've been writing here for 1 full year already.

I'm so grateful for all the blogs I've come to know and love through having my own. This blog community is oh so supportive and wonderful; one I'm proud to be apart of!

Thank you for reading and being apart of Adding The Finishing Touch!

What are you doing for your seat numbers at your wedding? Is this something you'd consider?

Lipstick Trends 101

Are you jazzing up your spring wardrobe with a fresh, new tube of lipstick? I never leave the house without at least two tubes of lipstick in my purse so when I saw these on Flare I couldn't help but imagine myself wearing all of them - not at once, but you know what I mean.

Here are a few of the lipstick trends that I think everyone should try out!

Bubblegum Pop

Burgundy Beat

Coral Reef

Grape Divide

Matte Rouge

Neutral Palette

Orange Soda

Petal Pink

Polished Cherry

So tell me, what would you wear, what are your favourites? I'm loving Coral Reef, Bubblegum Pop & Orange Soda.

Have a fabulous weekend!

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?

Eating Healthy

I don't know about you but I need to get my butt in gear and summer ready! I've recently been on the hunt for healthy and filling lunch options. I work long days, up at 5:30AM and I'm always starving by 11:00AM. I need to find lunch meals that will satisfy me and keep me full throughout the afternoon.

What about you, are you trying to get summer ready? What do you have for lunch - something I should be eating?

DIY Painted Cutlery

In keeping with yesterday's spoon theme I thought I'd highlight a fun way to jazz up your cutlery. I want to do this with a few pieces of my cutlery and use it for parties. It adds a certain flare and makes your guests remember your event!

This whole place setting is lovely!

What do you think, is this something you'd try?

DIY Mirror

Even though it's Monday the warm weather we're having throughout Toronto and the GTA has me perkier than usual! I just hope we don't have 1 more storm to cap off the winter season.

I recently stumbled across this and thought it was very cool.

This plastic spoon mirror was made from about 100 plastic spoons hot glued onto a framless mirror.

What do you think, something you'd try? I'd love to try it for our basement.....whenever we get around to finishing it!
