Can this get any better? Ahh-mazing! I need someone to make me this! I need to read it every day! Love love love! Isn’t it funny how the most simple words gathered all together can create such a powerful statement!?

Hope this challenges you today! No matter how stressed out you are this morning, afternoon, evening… weeee hours of the morning, “Walk with knowledge that you are never alone!” :)

This past weekend was beautiful! I had a few hours to sit at the beach and enjoy the sun! I took a quick snap shot of my newest bfrend bracelets! I  know I’m bias, but I absolutely adore these silver beads! You can stack them with anything and even stack a few of the same kind! The little crystal jewels makes it fun and flirty. Hope you love them!

Happy Friday everyone! I feel like this pretty much sums up my week! I’ve 100% fallen for Neon…here! Make that 200%! I hope you’ve grasped onto this hot summer trend! Let your love for the 80′s shine! This week has been wonderful! Lots of things to be thankful for! Bfrend bracelets are selling so fast I have officially turned my living room into a sweat shop! (Yes the hubby has been helping!) I couldn’t miss out with this Neon trend and just created one of my newest faves Neon Cobra (as seen above!).

Yesterday I purchased two ikat pillows off of etsy for my patio (not in neon, but now I might be having second thoughts!). I have found the perfect shade of neon nail polish by essie…. and I’m oh so close in giving in and purchasing those Kate Spade ballerina flats! Now it’s the weekend! Time for some fun in the sun, kissing the one you love and laughing with friends! Maybe a water balloon fight?

Happy weekend everyone! xo

It’s summer! My absolute favourite time of year! This summer I’m extra excited because I get to decorate/ create our new walk out patio. I’m starting from scratch! I’m on the hunt for 1) patio furniture, 2) pillows, 3) stools, 4) pots, 5) flowers 6) Lanterns and everything else to create the perfect escape place. I love to get inspiration from other designers- my go to place is photos! From there I grab ideas I love and hunt for the perfect color combination of pillows… and basically everything else from the list above. Here is a peek of the ideas that I’ve been thinking of!

Anyone else in full patio decorating swing?

I can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled I was to see my bfrend bracelets featured on Made By Girl.
Jen and I have become friends through tweeting back and for about things we love, ie: Michael Kors, Great home design and stacking our wrists up with love! I was thrilled to hear that she had become “obsessed” with the look of my bfrend bracelets and “had to have one!” (Now she owns three!)

I was even happier to hear that she loved it in person, and was snapping & tweeting pics of her newly stacked wrist filled with bfrend love!

I can’t thank Jen enough for the amazing post she featured on bfrend bracelets yesterday! You’ll love the photos she took (below), showing off her oh so stackable wrists!!! Love her! You will too! Check out her blog!

Get your hands on everything neon! So hot hot hot this season! The best way to style these bright hues is with the complete opposite spectrum: the Neutrals! Grab your staple nudes and browns and “bfrend” them with hot pinks and neon yellows! (My personal faves). Although we can’t forget about the neon greens, oranges, purples and blues! I would suggest to stick to your favourites and work from there! We don’t want you to look like an 80′s christmas tree!  ;)

Want to go a little further?… Look for neutral sparkles and sequins! You’ll be sparkling from miles away! Perfect timing to celebrate the launch of Glitter Guide! Have you checked it out yet?? Well… go! go! go!! xo
