Holiday Gift Guide for Her!

Hello Everyone!

I've been watching a lot of Holiday Gift Guides on Youtube and thought it would be fun to post one today. Hope these gifts add a bit of inspiration to your  gift purchasing!

For Her

Under $50

1) Hot chocolate and mug set

I received this gift as a birthday present this year and I love the idea. It's so cute and cozy! Both items are from Indigo bookstore. Another cute idea would be to purchase any mug from Anthropologie because they are so cute and put a bag of tea inside! My favourite are the ones from David's Tea. 

2) Candles

The Bath and Body Works candles are super yummy but how about a more unique candle? These can be purchased at Anthropologie and Indigo book store. They look gorgeous in any home. I have the light green one and its beautiful. These retail for $28 (and occasionally go on sale too!)

Over $50

1) Tiffany Keys

These make a lovely gift for her. There are so many different key options as well as different chain styles, making your gift even more unique. I received the left most key in silver for my birthday this year, and I love it! Prices range from $200 and up. 

2) Personalized Robe

These robes are from Restoration Hardware and can be monogrammed with the individual's initials. I'm sure any woman would love to receive a fresh and luxurious robe! These retail for $99.

Thanks for reading this mini gift guide,

Crochet trend and new palette!

Hi there ! Recently, I've noticed that crochet is a really big trend right now, and at first, I admit i was hesitant. Why would anyone want to wear a paper doiley? But the delicate lace-y patterns grew on me and the other day I was in the sale section at Anthropologie and came across this:

 I tried it on and it's actually really delicate and pretty! You can wear a body-con dress under so it can contrast with the loose fitting of this tunic. Or even jean shorts, skinny jeans, leggings, the options are endless. Before we made the purchase, we analyzed the stitching and it turns out there was a large hole that could be repaired with some sewing, and was granted 20% off of $39! (Originally $89) I am quite happy with the purchase. 

Here is another tunic by Free people that is quite similar:

On another note, I managed to get the Coastal scents warm palette ! 

So pretty ! Endless neutral looks... I personally like wearing neutrals mostly, and for colour my favourite is different shades of purple. I'm not really one to go for the blues and greens, but I do, on occasion. Thanks very much for reading!

Until next time, 
Rebecca

Summer weekend: Yogurty's, bows, and nails

Hello everyone! This weekend was a 3-day weekend in honour of Canada day. I celebrated by going to my aunt's barbeque and spent time with family. What did you do this weekend?

This summer, one of my close friends has began working at a neighborhood place called Yogurty's. Every night it is packed with people of all ages, families, teenagers, young adults, and so forth. It is a frozen yogurt bar, that has a self-serve system where you pull the lever and dispense the amount and flavour you choose. Their flavours range from peach to red velvet cake! And for those who are wondering, the number of calories contained in the yogurt is very low. The number of toppings are endless, and they do not charge extra per topping- the price is determined according to the weight of your dessert.

For more pictures and where I found these pictures click here. I can't wait to go again and I am sure I'll probably go like multiple times a week :P

I found this weekend to be very eventful at times and very boring at other times. During the boring times, I decided to d.i.y. an old blue top I bought from Garage many years ago:

 I sewed on a simple blue bow to it and it has instantly transformed into a cuter summer top that I will wear more often. 

 Isn't it cute? and I thought it would look nice with a pencil skirt like this...

 It is from the Anthropologie store, in the sale :) Lastly, I wanted to share one of my favourite nail colours and it is Minted by Revlon:

Thanks for reading and have a great week!
Rebecca.
