Room Reveal

I remember the day pretty vividly going to look at the house we are currently living in before we had bought it – seeing it for the very first time and instantly falling in love. There were two parts of the house that stuck out to me the most – the master bathroom and the little rooms on the very top floor of the house with the slanted ceilings. The rooms are identical – one is at the back of the house and one is at the front of the house, just down the hall from eachother. I pictured having one room for my husband to turn into an office and then the other room for myself to make my own little pink sanctuary for an office space, photoshooting and getting ready in the morning. I had this room decorated before we had even bought the house and envisioned adding a beautiful wallpaper. Since we moved into the house the same year that we were getting married, it’s taken a while to get around to decorating. I finally tackled this room and I’m so happy with the final result! Can’t wait to show you all.

Since 90% of my home decor is from Homesense, I figured they would make an amazing partner for this room reveal! I was able to get everything I needed at amazing prices (each item was under $180!).

Most of the items you see in this room are from Homesense. The rug is perfect and incredibly soft – exactly what I had in mind. I am in love with these powder blue chairs and pink throw pillows. The silver table, lamp and faux flowers turned out so great together. This standing full length mirror is also a jewelry holder inside! I am also in love with these black/white storage bins! I was looking for some extra storage for this room since the closet is quite small and these were a great option. The “but first makeup” art, jewelry holder, plant holders, pink mirror, stool and pink faux fur throw are also Homesense finds!

The slanted ceilings were screaming for some wallpaper. I’ve had my eye on this black/white floral wallpaper from Rocky Mountain Decals since we moved in. It DID NOT disappoint. It turned out so beautifully and looks so luxe! I only needed 4 rolls to complete the wall and it was so easy to put up. My mom came over to assist and it took us no time at all. The wallpaper is removable and just sticks on the wall. You then use the little smoother gadget they provide to smooth out any air bubbles. I plan on ordering some wallpaper for my powder room and laundry room and I would definitely use Rocky Mountain Decals again!

It’s always been a dream of mine to have a makeup vanity that I could sit at each morning to get ready and the fact that I now have one makes me so happy! I’m all about the simple pleasures in life. I love going up there each morning, turning on a podcast and taking some time to myself to do my makeup/hair. It’s such a peaceful way to start the day.

 

I’ve been trying to find a special spot for this Minted wall art! I love this piece so much – the colours are perfection in this room!

   

Thanks for taking the time to check out my little room reveal! I’m excited to post more home decor content because it looks like you guys enjoy it as much as I do. Stay tuned!

Prince Edward County Travel Diary

I’ve been to Prince Edward County a few times now and every time I’ve had such an amazing time! I’m now trying to make it a yearly trip. I wanted to put together a bit of a travel diary in case any of you plan on going for the first time – It’s always nice to have some recommendations! I highly recommend this as an amazing place for a girls weekend getaway – or for anyone that loves wine. Will give you the details of our trip below and all of the places you MUST check out if you are in PEC. Happy Travels!

We left Friday from Toronto around 1:00pm. I recommend leaving before 5pm if you can to avoid the crazy traffic! Our first stop was Drake Devonshire. We walked around the little town/shops near the Drake and went across to the new Drake Motor Inn, which is super cute. There’s also a brewery right beside the Motor Inn if you want to pop in for a drink before dinner. We then had dinner at Drake Devonshire and spent the evening having cocktails on the beautiful patio on the water. They have hanging lights and give you big cozy blankets to keep you warm when the sun goes down – it’s perfection! Also, the cocktails are DELICIOUS. Definitely make dinner reservations far in advance though because it books up quickly on weekends throughout the summer. They also have a great brunch!

You have to see the straps on this pink dress that I’m wearing in the above pics. It’s the cutest! I’m wearing a size S/M.

On Saturday, we woke up and went to Vic Cafe in Picton for breakfast. This is my favourite breakfast in PEC. They had my heart at tater tots! They also moved and newly renovated – it is all kinds of Insta-worthy now. You will want to take photos of everything from the booths to the ceiling to the adorable wallpaper and even the bathrooms! They have adorable with PINK TOILETS!! I have major toilet envy, which I didn’t know was a thing. Where can I find these vintage-looking toilets? Seriously.

  

This pink top is linked HERE. I’m wearing a size S. I am also so in love with this pearl hair clip linked HERE. You can use my code 3pinkthe10 for extra 10% off purchases over $80!

        

After breakfast, we drove to Closson Road Cycles to pick up our bikes. Be sure to rent your bikes in advance. The family that owns Closson Road Cycles is so incredibly lovely! You will be in good hands. I never really get a chance to ride bikes with living in Toronto – I find it way too scary, so I really enjoy riding bikes to all of the wineries. It’s my favourite part of the whole trip. It was lilac season when we were there and the amount of lilacs and the delicious perfumed smells coming from the massive bunches of lilac trees was seriously incredible.

Closson Road is perfect for biking because it’s a very short trip between each winery and there’s about 5-7 wineries close by to pop into. There’s also the alpaca farm which is the CUTEST and the lavender field. I have an obsession with lavender so I love popping in here.

 

This ADORABLE polka-dot tank is linked HERE (I’m wearing a size S) and it’s only $6! Use code 3pinkthe10 for extra 10% off purchases over $80!

 

Definitely stop by The Grange winery for a picnic out back. They pack you a little picnic basket fill of wine, cheese, pickles, bread and popcorn. It’s another one of the highlights for me – they have picnic tables out back amongst all of the chickens running around which are quite entertaining.

I would then recommend either Norman Hardie or County Cider Company for wood fire pizza. County Cider has Gluten Free pizza for all of my fellow Celiacs 🙂

There’s a small group of great hotels in PEC and so many amazing Air BNB’s. We stayed in a cottage on the water this time and it was so lovely. We had fires every night and took advantage of the DVD player with so many old movies to watch at night. It was perfection.

Sunday morning we ate breakfast the Picton Harbour Inn and walked around to the shops a bit and down by the water.

This white dress is so cute and serious nautical vibes. Linked HERE. I love it. I’m wearing a size M – it’s a little snug around the top, I could prob have done a L.

And of course, no trip to PEC is complete without a trip to the June Motel! Whether you stay there or just pop in for some Rosé, it’s a must!

This dress has quickly become one of the most favourite dress I have ever worn. It’s so flattering and the details of the bow straps with the tassels is so stinkin’ cute. Also, the colours are amazing. I am so in love! Dress linked HERE. I’m wearing a size M.

I also can’t say enough about this new straw bag from Poppy & Peonies. Perfect for carrying around in the summer or using as a beach bag! It’s seriously perfection. The inside liner is pink and the pink tassel on the front is so pretty.

 

Have to share this little Dalmatian print dress. I’ve been searching for a Dalmatian print dress or top for so long now and finally got this one! I love it so much, especially with a cute little jean jacket thrown over it. It works for so many occasions, dressed up or dressed down. Link to dress HERE. I’m wearing a size M. Use code 3pinkthe10 for extra 10% off purchases over $80! This little hot pink bag is Poppy & Peonies. Similar bag HERE.

   

Other places to visit in the County, not pictured above:

Sand Banks Beach – There’s actually a nice, big beach in PEC at Sand Banks National Post and if the weather it’s nice it’s definitely worth a visit!

Lake on the Mountain – A really pretty view to stop for lunch

Sailing – there are some boat companies in PEC that will take you out sailing. It’s so beautiful on the water there, I highly recommend if you like to be out on the water!

Soap & Glory Very Pink Giveaway!

Soap & Glory has been one of favourite brands for a long time. I fell in love with their packaging and cheeky branding right off the bat and after many years of using the products they’ve become part of my regular routine. I love the signature scent of the products – it’s very light, fresh and clean smelling. The scent is described as a fruity-floral with notes of rose, peach, strawberries, bergamot and a twist of citrus. Mmm!!!

I get so excited when I get the chance to partner with my favourite brands and give one lucky reader the chance to win a lineup of pretty pink products!

The brand recently sent over the below package, which included come of their classics and some pink cotton candy. Very fitting!

 

It was the package above that inspired this giveaway! It was too cute not to share. One lucky winner will take home the signature Original Pink collection from Soap & Glory, which includes:

  • Original Pink Bath Bomb
  • Clean On Me Body Wash
  • Scrub Of Your Life Body Scrub
  • Flake Away Body Scrub
  • Righteous Butter Body Butter
  • Hand Food Hand Cream
  • Heel Genius Foot Cream

Basically everything you need to be summer-ready from head-to-toe. Now that the weather has finally warmed up! I always apply the Genius Foot Cream every night before bed and it’s such a game changer for my feet. The scrub works beautifully before applying your self tanner (something I’ve been doing alot of lately now that I’m getting out the sun dresses and shorts). The Body Wash and Body Butter work extremely well when used together in conjunction with one another. I always feel baby-soft and smell delicious after using this combination. And finally, the hand cream is amazing for at-home manicures or to throw in your purse to apply on-the-go. I also used the bath bomb to create the pink bath below. The camera wasn’t able to capture it, but the bath bomb creates a luminous sparkle and leaves your skin looking radiant. Also, who doesn’t love a pink bath?

Pink Wall Love

If I could have it my way, we’d have alot more pink buildings in Toronto. The pinks and pastels are few and far between in this city, so you really have to hunt around for photo-worthy backdrops. Alas, Crown Flora understands our pain and is the best hot pink painted wall in the city. The plants are amazing and snapping a few photos in front of the wall on the way out makes it a fun weekend outing in the city.

This dress is seriously the epitome of spring. I love it so much. The weather is refusing to warm up here in Toronto, so it’s great that it fully covers your legs and sleeves. It’s nice to still be able to wear spring-looking items, even when the weather is still absolute crap! Really hoping it warms up soon so that I can transition out of my winter wardrobe. I’ve never been this over sweaters and coats in my life!!!

I’ve also been dying to talk about this Poppy & Peonies bag! It’s seriously one of my most favourite bags that I’ve ever owned. It is THE perfect pink shade that is really neutral so it still goes with just about any outfit. However, if you do come across an outfit where this shade of pink isn’t a fit it’s REVERSIBLE and there’s also actually another smaller rose gold metallic bag that comes inside of this one! It’s like getting four bags in one because the smaller bag comes with a small strap if you are going out somewhere at night, or a cross body strap if you are running around on the weekend. It’s so versatile and the colours are so beautiful! If you are investing in a new tote, I would highly recommend!

Since the weather refuses to warm up, I’m relying on cute sweaters to get me through the rest of this winter (even though it’s supposed to be spring…). This sweater is so stinkin’ cute I can’t get over it! It’s also super soft. The little heart-shaped elbow patches are so adorable!! It almost makes me okay with this weather so that I get to wear it a little longer…. almost!
