Easter Table Setting

In Lifestyle

Easter is just around the corner and I’ve always really loved decorating for Easter. There’s just something so happy about it. The tulips, the baby bunnies and chicks. We’re finally coming out of the deep freeze in Canada, and the weather is beginning to warm up. The flower buds start to pop out of the garden. It’s always such an amazing time of year.  This year, I’ll be in Costa Rica for Easter so my Easter will look quite a bit different from the below. But, before I leave I wanted to put together a beautiful Easter table setting to inspire your Easter decor.

Every year Williams-Sonoma comes out with adorable Easter decor and dishware. They sent over some great pieces for the table. I’ve also partnered with the lovely Cecile from Cecile Lau Calligraphy who supplied the beautiful place setting cards and name tag eggs.

Check out the feature below and let me know what your plans are for Easter this year.

The recipe for the perfect Easter table setting includes a mix of spring florals, bunnies and chicks, sweet treats and special personal touches. For the florals I did a mix of hydrangeas and tulips. The treats are all from Williams-Sonoma and for the special personal touches, Cecile did gold calligraphy on dyed Easter eggs and water colouring place setting cards. Use the links below to see how you can create a similar table setting for your Easter plans!

Easter is quickly approaching and I’m getting excited for everything to do with Easter, because it’s basically the most adorable time of the year. The spring flowers, the baby chicks and bunnies, the pastel everything! Plus, it’s an excuse to indulge in chocolate (as if we needed an excuse). To get you in the Easter mood, I’ve teamed up with Shoppers Drug Mart with the below contest!

Vacation Prep

The countdown is officially on for my upcoming vacation to Costa Rica in less than one month! I cannot wait. This will be my 3rd time visiting Costa Rica and I can safely say it’s impossible to not have a great time there. Each time I go I am incredibly impressed with the amazing weather, the ocean and snorkling, the sunsets, the beautiful accommodations, the friendly people, the fun adventures, the delicious food, and the list goes on. If you haven’t gone you really must!

And now onto my favourite part – the beach essentials!

As I begin my countdown, I’ve also starting putting together all of my vacation essentials. Naturally, this always begins with a trip to the mall to check out what Bikini Village has in store. Anyone else have this same ritual? So, I was super excited when they reached out to me to partner up on this post. I have always relied on Bikini Village for my winter vacations since the vacation falls at a time when no other stores have bathing suits in stock. They always have a great selection and brands I really love (like Billabong, below!).

Are you as obsessed with palm prints as I am? How cute are these little shorts and flip flops to match? I’m also loving this pink bikini.

I even picked out THESE cool swim shorts for my boyfriend.

You can check out more great styles on the BikiniVillage.com website, which launched last fall. There’s also a great Lookbook feature so you can check out all of the different brands and really get an idea of how the clothes look on.

Lips & Scents

Valentine’s Day is one of my favourite days of the year (for obvious pink reasons) and what better way to prep for VDay than being surrounded by makeup and perfume?!

IMG_7028

This past Valentine’s Day weekend I have the pleasure of attending the Lips & Scents event at Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique at the Toronto Eaton Centre. You may have seen my posts on social media of the amazing flower wall from the event. Any event that involves a pink flower wall is an event I want to be at.

IMG_1143

The event started with one of the lovely Shoppers Drug Mart makeup artists teaching me how to create an Ombre lip. Back in high school I was the lip liner queen, so this trend really brings me back. Thankfully the look now has a modern twist with a more subtle ombre effect, versus the heavy lip liner look of the 90’s. This time around it’s all about the blending and subtle shade differences.

Next, it was on to the scent station to find my signature VDay scent, which ended up being the new Chloe Love Story fragrance. It’s so delicious and has now replaced my classic Chloe perfume as my new everyday scent.

After indulging in macarons and italian soda, it was onto the floral wall with my girls Kaylee from The Blondielocks and Anum from SummerxSkin to capture some pics of our new Ombre look.

I picked up a couple of items to create the ombre lip look at home. Check them out below and you can check out more Lips & Scents details HERE.

Step 1: Make sure lips are nice and hydrated. Apply a lip scrub or let Vaseline sit on lips for a couple of minutes and then brush lips gently with a toothbrush

 

Step 2: Line lips with Clinique Quickliner for Lips in Intense Hibiscus

 

Step 3: Apply Stila Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss in Hot Pink Vinyl to outer area of lip leaving small section in middle of lips uncovered

 

Step 4: Dab a small amount of Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Rosa to center of lips only

 

Step 5: Blend lips using lip brush or apply a clear gloss to finish the look

 

Step 6: Voila!
