Currently Loving: April 2014

Spring is here! It's time to brighten up your soles, redecorate your favourite room, and lighten up on the jewelry. Here are my favourites to help you with a fresh start this month.

1. We're finishing our basement which means lots of fun furniture and decor shopping. Currently have my eye on this this geomtric pillow cover and this moody cactus print from the Aestate (#8).

2. Affordable stacking rings. These brass beauties from LA Kaiser and comfortable and dainty. I am loving the squared corners for something new and different.

3. Feed Your Ends: This leave in conditioner leaves my hair so soft and detangled and yet light and bouncy. It contains essential oils (and vitamins and minerals) but doesn't seem to weigh hair down. For my dry, unruly hair, it's truly a miracle worker.

4. Frame Denim: These dark ripped jeans may seem like an odd choice for spring, but I think black always works. Pair with a white tee or a bright sleeveless blouse for a decidedly cool look.

5. Bright flats. Yes, flats! Can we wear flats now? Snow, are you going to finish melting soon? Loving these ones from Belle by Sigerson Morrison.  I snagged mine on Gilt but you can also find on Shopbop.

6. The perfect baby shower gift? Handmade, natural, and oh so cute.

7. See description #1 :)

8. I am a sucker for unique jewelry storage. I am always looking for clever and visually appealing ways to store my trinkets and this brass elephant box from Jonathan Adler cover both bases.

Currently Loving: March 2014 ed.

The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and spring is just around the corner. It has to be! This has been one of the worst (read: coldest) winters in recent memory. I am so ready for spring and really, summer. Here are my March favourites and the products I am using and loving as we head into spring.

1. These red wines. I just got my clear braces off (yes, adult braces, ugh! So happy to have this chapter behind me!) which meant no red wine or else be cursed with stained ugly brown brackets. 20 months later, I am indulging in my favourite reds again. These two reds were consumed last week and are just as good as I remember. Maybe better.

2. Yay for t-shirt weather (well, almost!). Loving these graphic tees from J.Crew, and bonus, they're currently on sale with code HAPPYSHOPPING.  Floral  // These Are The Days // C'est La Vie //

3. Aveda Hand Relief. This cream is a little pricey but so amazing and indulgent. It smells divine and is the only reason my hands aren't totally chapped this winter.

4. Vale Staple ring. This ring is simple, beautiful, easy, and everyday cool. (Also pictured is my Jennie Kwon open cuff equilibrium ring. I've posted about it ad nauseum and is safely an all-time favourite!)

5. Happy. A pleasant reminder in a mess of gold chains.

6. House of Cards season 2 on Netflix. We're savouring these episodes because once they're done, they're done. And then the waiting begins again.

7. Thumb rings. I've started wearing a thin twisted gold band on my thumb and I am kind of loving it. Inspired by Emily.

8. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. I had a gift card to Sephora that I'd been saving since Christmas. I finally made my choice and went with Hourglass' super pretty, sheer, glowy powder in Dim Light. I can't really describe it, but it just makes my face bright and awake. It's sheer so you can't really see it. Which is maybe the beauty of it? You'll just look brighter.
