We had a heat wave here in Ottawa last week… Just my luck, I missed the ENTIRE week of nice weather because the kids and I were sick and now, it’s freakin’ freezing again…. ugh! And now I am craving a good shopping spree for spring clothing. This will do…
fashion // floral
Good morning! I hope everyone had a fun filled St. Patrick’s Day… I went to an amazing wedding reception for an amazing couple and had quite the time!! And what perfect weather we are having here in Ottawa!!
Check out this post by my little fashionista sister Veronica… Enjoy!!!
Flower flower flower flower flower, the power of print. Love that she mixed two floral prints. Try it. But only if you are cool enough. JK, try it. (I was kind of serious about being cool enough.) Image via Garance Dore
Amazing red floral blouse. (Waaaant.) To edge out the floral, throw on some leathers. (Preferably faux, for our furry friends!) And the cherry on top- so to speak- is her hat! Very cool. Image via Lookbook

Too warm for pants? That’s fine. Get legless pants! To my boyfriend’s horror, us girls could pretty much dress head-to-toe in floral. And when I say pretty much, I mean we can. We definitely can. Image via Pinterest
Cute!!! She looks good too. Image via Live Creating Yourself
Either someone meticulously did her nails, or these are stick-ons, like nail wallpaper. Either way, pretty fun. Image via Pinterest
Hop on the floral train, ya’ll! Choo Chooooooo…..
I could hold onto that. Get this Floral Print Clutch, MadebyGirl.
I have jeans just like these, so obviously they are very cool. Get them at Asos.
Try these comfortable looking Elizabeth and James silk shorts from Piperlime.
My sister is eyeing this bad boy. If you dig it, get your butt over to Aritzia.

decorating // glamorous dressing rooms
Not only am I jealous of these glamorous closet spaces, I am fully envious of the clothes and shoes that consume them. Let’s get serious, we all know that if you want your closet to look organized and clean it’s probably a better idea to create a more enclosed wardrobe type closet (which can also look very beautiful). However, if I had the space/money to have a full dressing room, I’d like to assume I would also have the money to fill it with wonderful, beautiful things. Who wouldn’t want to look at that (even if it does get a little messy)?!?!
