Piano Revamp
Old Is New Again
Have an old piece of furniture but don't know what to do with it? Use chalk paint - it covers just about any surface! You can find it at most home improvement stores or order it online. This is a very old piano that had a traditional wood finish. Since it didn't go with the house, we refinished it in a gorgeous blue/grey color. Easy peasy!

How To Style White Pants
Spring has finally sprung! I love a good pair of white jeans any time of year, but especially in springtime. People are always saying to me how much they love white denim but don't know how to wear them. As always, I don't feel like there are any major rules to wearing them but here are a few tips of styling your whites! I'm wearing the same jeans with the same heels in all photos so you can see how to build these different looks by simply changing the top and adding a handbag.
Pair Your Whites With A Bright T-shirt
I love bright colors in spring. Here I paired my jeans with a rich blue t-shirt and black handbag with gold detailing. These jeans are cut-offs but you could always cuff the bottom of yours to show a little ankle.
A Little Animal Never Hurt
Here I've taken a simple black and white outfit and added a statement animal print cardigan. The knitted fringe handbag adds just a little bit of interest without being overbearing.
Fun Handbags Add A Pop Of Color
I'm a sucker for a colorful boho bag. I am wearing a long sleeve dress over my jeans - just be careful of the length of your dress if you are trying this look. You don't want the dress coming below the knee or it will look frumpy. The handbag adds a nice pop of color and I am wearing a nude headband for a simple accessory.

Styling A Family Photo Shoot
Have a family photo shoot coming up and don't know what to wear? Here are some tips for styling your fam like a pro. Make your photos have a timeless feel that you won't be embarrassed to have hanging on your wall a few years from now!
Kiddos
Have some fun with your children's outfits! Don't be afraid to mix in a little color and some fun patterns. I've coordinated the outfits ever so slightly with the stripes on the little girl's top and the boy's shoes. Gone are the days of everyone wearing fully matching outfits.
Parents
Since your kiddos are wearing the fun stuff, I think it looks much better to have the parents in more subdued colors. Here I've chosen blacks, whites, and greys. This way the children stand out in their cute little duds and mom & dad are looking stylish yet timeless. This is definitely more of a casual look as well. I think family photos look much better when everyone is comfortable and relaxed rather than in stuffy "dress clothes".

Look Of The Week
Spring Fever
Depending on where you live, you may or may not be having some serious Spring Fever! I can't wait for the rest of this snow to melt and finally start enjoying some greener days. This is a great transition outfit for the season. I put a metallic silver t-shirt with white jeans, strappy heels, and an animal print cardigan. Accessorize this look with a tassel necklace and a cute little clutch!

How To Create A Cozy Home
Throw Pillows
An easy way to change up the feel of a room is to change the throw pillows. You can store seasonal pillows away and pull them out for special occasions and holidays. Don't be afraid to mix and match patterns, colors, and textures to add some depth to your room.
Sheep Skin Rugs
I feel like you can put a sheep skin rug just about anywhere and instantly create a cozy ambience in a room. Drape them over a chair as seen here, over a piano bench, ottoman, or even on the floor in front of a fireplace - get creative!
Wicker Baskets
There is just something comforting to me about a wicker basket! Fill an oversized basket with your favorite furry blankets and throw pillows to create a super cute decor piece in a room. This not only looks cozy but is also a functional way to store your fav movie watching duds!

Bring Some Life Into Your Home
Create Warmth In Small Spaces
Plants just have a way of making a space come alive! Place a plant in the small nooks and crannies of your home to create some cozy corners. I like to pair them with other decor "trinkets" or as shown here with a candle and wooden mirror.
Tropical Vibes
This Fiddle Leaf Tree is the perfect addition to any room with a lot of natural light. I love the way the sun hits the leaves and casts a warm glow into the room. Placing any large tree or plant near a window helps create those tropical vibes all year long.
Refresh Any Space With Some Greenery
Plants can refresh just about any space in your home. Put them on a shelf, mantle, piano, or even a bar as you see here to add some greenery into your home.

How To Refresh An Old Piece Of Furniture
Choose A Piece Of Furniture To Re-Cover
I love a bargain! I found this leather foot stool at Value Village for only $6! I am slowly working on making my 1 1/2 year old daughter a "big girl" room so I chose this little stool to re-cover to put in her new room.
Tools You Will Need
Here are the tools you will need: - Fabric - Scissors - Upholstery Pins - Hammer - Staple Gun - Staples
Trim The Fabric
Lay your fabric out on a large surface area (colored side down). Place the piece of furniture in the middle of the fabric making sure to leave a few inches around the perimeter of the item. Trim fabric with scissors all the way around.
Secure Fabric To Furniture
Pull the fabric as tight as you can, making sure there are no wrinkles and secure in place with your staple gun.
Finishing Touches
Use your hammer to gently nail the upholstery pins in place. Try not to hit them too hard because they bend easily. I like to use these on the folded edges of fabric that are showing on the outside of the furniture - gives the finished product a more polished look!
End Product
Here is the end product! From a frumpy old leather stool to a fun, brightly colored piece of furniture for my little girl!

Accessories Are A Girls Best Friend
The easiest way to refresh an outfit you have worn before is to accessorize! Here I paired some skinny blue jeans, black & gold tank, and black leather jacket, with some tan cut-out ankle boots. I mixed in my tortoise glasses with a bright colored scarf to wear around my neck. These accessories instantly change up the look and add some fun to an otherwise neutral outfit.

Buying Eye Glasses Online
As I'm sure you guys have noticed - everything is going online!! Included in this is eye glasses! I have chosen some of my favorite glasses purchased online to show you some examples from different companies. I know a lot of you have asked which companies are best, so here are a few that I would recommend after having experienced them first hand.
Eye Buy Direct
Eye Buy Direct is a great, affordable company with tons of cute frames. Prices can range anywhere from $10 - $99 (not including lenses). https://ca.eyebuydirect.com
Zenni
Zenni has some super fun frames and are very affordable. Generally prices range from $7 - $49 (not including lenses) so the great part about this company is if you get sick of the ones you've chosen, you can just go purchase another pair without breaking the bank! www.zennioptical.com
SEE Eyewear
SEE Eyewear are at a slightly higher price point typically ranging from $150 - $350 (including single vision lenses). They have lots of gorgeous frames to choose from and are a little better quality than the previously mentioned companies. www.seeeyewear.com
Ray Ban
I'm sure this company is not new to any of you!! Ray-Bans have been around for a very long time. These glasses are actually sunglasses that I took the tinted lenses out and swapped them for clear prescription lenses but you can purchase actual eyeglasses frames online as well! www.ray-ban.com

What To Wear On St. Patrick's Day
With St. Patty's Day coming up, I put together a couple of different outfit options for your big night out. I love to dress up but if you're not into all the tacky gear, here are some ways to still be festive.
Heading To The Pub
Here I've paired a "Kiss Me I'm Irish" tank with a black and white plaid flannel. I would wear the tank tucked into the high waisted jeans (in a messy tuck, not a tight tuck) and cuff the jeans so they sit just above the olive green booties. The clover headband is just for fun if you're feeling a little goofy!
St. Patty's Drinks
This is a more sophisticated look if you're maybe going on a date or going out for St. Patty's cocktails with friends. I paired a flowy green tank with cut off white jeans, a blue denim jacket and some nude strappy heels. To top it all off I added the animal print scarf but you could do a long gold necklace instead. Again, the green glasses are for fun if you feel like getting into the St. Patty's spirit!

Men's Closet Mini Overhaul
Before Pictures
These before pictures show how cluttered and overflowing this closet is! It needs a serious overhaul to add some organization and structure.
After Pictures
Even though this is a very small space, with a few simple tweaks we were able to revamp this closet completely! First we purged one full garbage bag of outdated, unwanted clothing which gave us a lot more room to play with. From there I separated flannel long sleeve shirts, dress shirts, and t-shirts so it is much easier to visualize an outfit before putting it on. Suits are hung in garment bags, and sweaters and shorts are folded on the top shelf. Finally I added two baskets to the shelf for miscellaneous items (ie. socks, suspenders, ties, etc).

Look Of The Week
Trade In Your Traditional Blazer For A Sequin Blazer
As you know by now I love changing things up when it comes to my wardrobe. Adding a little glamour with a sequin blazer is a fun way to revamp your look! I've paired my grey sequin jacket with black coated skinny jeans, a classic white tank, and a pale pink lightweight scarf to add just a little pop of color. I've finished the look with a bold pair of blue, silver, and bronze shoes that strap up around the ankle. You could also wear this blazer with a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans and some nude pumps! Just be careful when wearing a sequin jacket that the rest of your outfit is quite subdued - you don't want to have too much razzle dazzle going on!

Building Your Own Picture Wall
Choose A Color Palette For Your Frames
The first step in creating your own picture wall is to decide on a color palette that will work in your home. I chose to go with white, gold, & black. I have the majority in white just because those are my favorite against my wall color. The black and gold are mixed in sporadically to add a bit of interest to the wall.
Paint Them Yourself
I couldn't always find the "right" frame in one of my chosen colors so I decided to buy the fun textured frames I was looking for and just paint them myself!
Pick A Style Of Frames
Next, choose a theme you want to follow with your picture frames. Since I live in an old character home, I love the more antique looking frames. If you live in a modern home, maybe you would want to go with large mirrored frames for example.
Hang The Frames Sporadically
Set the tape measure aside for this project! You don't need to hang every picture perfectly - just pick a starting point and work your way out from there. I chose to start near the door frame to my living room and worked upwards. The more random the spacing, the better!

Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day love birds! I picked out a few of my fav Valentines essentials...
Valentines Attire
I love a classic black ensemble but to kick it up a notch, I swapped out a traditional blazer for a sequin black blazer. I added the burgundy tank for a festive pop of color, skinny black coated jeans, and some black leather ankle booties. I accessorized with some oversized aztec earrings and a navy leather handbag. Perfect for a night out with a loved one or a first date with your dream boat <3
Kissable Lips
I am still in love with MAC Flat Out Fabulous in Retro Matte lipstick. It has been my go to lip shade whenever I am feeling a little bit sassy and want to make a statement. I love a bold red lip, especially for this special occasion. Just make sure your makeup is on the lighter side when wearing such a bright color. After all, you want your lips to do the talkin!
The Perfect Red Nails
The perfect red for Valentine's Day this year is A List by Essie. I love Essie nail polish because it is at a decent price point and the quality is quite good. You can find Essie at most drugstores!

Fête Essential Oil Company
Team-Up Tuesday
This week I am excited to announce I have teamed up with the fabulous Becky Bayda - founder and owner of Fête Essential Oil Company! I have been obsessed with these oils for awhile now so I hope you love them as much as I do.
Valentines & Essential Oils
February is the month where we celebrate love and shower those we adore with candles and candy. If you truly want to show your affection to your one true love, why not swap out the former for a healthy alternative both for the air and for your health. Did you know that many popular brands of scented candles are made with paraffin, lead, benzene, and toluene (two known cancer-causing carcinogens)? When these substances are burned, toxins are released into the air and into your lungs, causing all sorts of health issues.
Enter, essential oils. These wonders of the earth can be used in a plethora of ways and boast heaps of benefits! When used in a diffuser, they are not burned, rather they are pumped out in billowing, fresh plumes of water vapor – which not only enriches the air but has the warm ambiance of a candle. Don’t have a diffuser? Not to worry! Essential oils are multi-faceted and can be added to a plethora of Valentine’s Day rituals like baths, massages and hitting the sheets ;)
A few of our favourite oils that invoke the feelings of love are ylang ylang, cedarwood and patchouli. Simply adding these in a 2:1:1 ratio to your bath water, to a massage or carrier oil (jojoba, almond, olive oil etc) or to a spray bottle filled with clean water for a romantic linen spray.
If health matters to you and your loved one, then essential oils are the right choice!

Look Of The Week
Take Your Daytime Look To Night On The Town
Here I chose to go with a fairly simple colour palette. If you go with black as I have done, choose pieces that have a bit of interest to them. For example, the black tank top has some lace detail as well as the blazer has leather sleeves. The scarf has the same tones of red in it as the jeggings to tie it all together. I paired the outfit with peep toe black heels and a small black shoulder bag with gold detail. This is the kind of outfit you could easily transition from the office to a night out on the town. You could switch the scarf for a gold statement necklace and swap the heels for a cute pair of ankle booties!

3 Easy Ways to Pull Off Bold Prints
This week I have my beautiful momma modelling for me! She always insists she can't pull something off until I make her try it on and help her complete the look. Then she is pleasantly surprised how "it actually looks good on her" - of course it does! Love you mom xx
Keep The Rest Simple
Keep things super simple! When wearing a bold print, make sure the rest of your outfit remains on the more simple or basic side. Here my mom is wearing a classic pair of skinny black jeans with some nude loafers.
Pair With Some Key Basics
Use the bold pattern as your pop of color for your outfit. If you are going to accessorize make sure you either stay within the same color scheme or be careful to choose something that is not going to clash with your pattern. I chose this scarf because it has a lot of black to go with the rest of her outfit as well as some soft silver tones to enhance the look instead of compete with the bold print.
Don't Be Afraid To Dress Them Up
I think people get stuck in thinking bold prints are only for eccentric people or for relaxed occasions. But in reality, bold prints can be used in so many ways, its just knowing how to work with them! Here I've paired the top with a fitted black blazer, black skinny slacks and a classic pair of black pumps. This would be a great look for the office or meeting a friend out for dinner. Lilly looks professional, put together, and stylish!
