Travel Inspired Gift Ideas

Do you ever find that you tend to buy themed gifts for people? Like, for every holiday that you buy them a gift it always is in the same theme as everything else you buy them?

With my oldest, her gifts for the last couple of years seem to have a focus on Harry Potter, and Doctor Who.

For many, many years I bought Tom KISS inspired gifts because he was a collector.

For me, I tend to say travel-inspired items when asked what I have on my list, like books, maps, pictures etc.

In this post, I am going to show you a list of items that would be loved by any (well, almost any) traveller in various price points.

Travel Inspired Gift Ideas for the traveller in your life. #travel Continue Reading →

Fall Winter Capsule Wardrobe Shopping Plans

Fall and Winter Capsule Shopping List

1 | 2 | 3| 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

It’s that time of the season to be thinking about building and transitioning to a fall wardrobe. I have picked the kids up a few pieces at a time and while I am doing that I am always checking the new fall stock for me. I was going through my closet and deciding what things I could bring forward to fall and winter to get an idea of what I would need to buy. I enjoyed having a capsule wardrobe last season and I plan on sticking with it for now. Since fall is so short around here having a more winter-based cold season based wardrobe makes a lot more sense. It’s easier to dress down for an unexpected warm day than it is to layer up if you don’t have enough cold weather options. Continue Reading →

Birthday Gifts Wish List

 

Birthday Presents

My birthday is the first week of August. When I was younger my birthday was always a sign that school was right around the corner which made me cringe. Now that I am getting older every year makes me cringe a bit more because I still feel like I did when I was in college minus the extreme hotness 😉 I do however think that people who say they feel their age mentally are full of shit. I think we are all faking it but some being better at it than others. I completely feel like I am winging this whole adult thing. Continue Reading →

For the Love of Yellow

YellowYellowYellow

1. Bike Basket | 2. Zara Kid’s Dress | 3. Ikea Chair | 4. Ikea Nightstand | 5. Bra & Underwear Set | 6. Yellow Door via Cheryl Simpson | 7. Typewriter | 8. Zara Kimono Top | 9. Kid’s Hunter Boots (yellow is hard to find so this link is to other colours) | 10. Esty Pillow  | 11. Zara Maxi Skirt | 12. Ikea Chair | 13. Ikea Lamp | 14. Zara Jumper | 15. Ikea Toy Chest

My favourite colour is yellow. I tend to wear more black, white, and grey but every once in a while I throw some yellow in the mix. I hate the term “pop of yellow” though.

It is my favourite accent colour for a home and I tend to find myself asking, “do you have it in yellow?” when I find something that I like in a store. Actually, I don’t ask that. I usually just go look for myself because I hate asking for help from salespeople even though I worked in retail for many years.
