The Art of Spoiling Yourself

On April 4, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Go, Primp, Skin Care, Toronto
Hello Darlings,

There are times when a girl should spoil herself. Maybe as a reward for a job well done, to feel better during a crummy break-up, or if you're feeling under the weather - a little time spent on yourself can be the best way to inspire and lift the spirits. Some of my personal favorites are art gallery visits, shopping at a make-up counter for spring updates, sandal shopping and some much needed girls nights on a patio. It's just a matter of showing yourself some love.

My past month has been a blur with non-stop action and events - attending two big galas last week and hosting a cocktail soiree last night - so this morning my bubbly self burst minus the rainbow colours. With long work hours and little time for myself, I decided to take half a day off this morning and just indulge! Well, kind of take a day off....

Hello Darlings,
Back in the day, while trying on the many dresses at BCBG Maz Azria for my prom, I was bluntly told that aside from my wedding dress my prom dress is the second most important purchase in my life. Well, I am not shopping for a wedding dress but I sure did go shopping for a prom dress, yet again! Twenty-three and going to prom! Again...

Hello Darlings,

I am sure every girl can relate to the drama that just when you thought everything was organized and going according to the plan, things get de-railed.

As I packed my suitcase for a week-long hotel stay during Toronto Fashion Week, I thought I had it all figured out! My outfits were colour-coded and organized with all my shoes pre-selected, and for every outfit there was a stand-by. But two days in, my super keen plan was failing me. Nothing suited my mood. I did not want to wear dresses and pretty blouses, I just wanted cashmere and jeans.

Hotel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square Blogger Lunch

Hello Darlings,

Sunday brunch has always been one of my favourite social gatherings. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the comfort of morning sunshine and of course a table with some of my favourite people are just a few of the reasons. Many broken hearts have been mended over mimosas and much advice has been given, and even more relationship advice has been received over pancakes or French toast (my favourite!). The tradition of brunching with my girlies or loved ones has been around for a while and even as our lives take us in different directions, there’s always time for a catch-up brunch!

 

With all of the above in mind, I hosted a brunch at the charming Hotel Le Germain Maple Leaf Square for some of Canada’s most influential bloggers: Daniella Etienne of The Broken Heel Diaries, Erin Davis of Notable.ca, Kimberly Lyn of The Souls of My Shoes, Lisa Kisber of lkisstyle.com, Sharon Ng Hayes of Backseat Stylers, Nelia Belkova of Styleblog.ca, and Nataliya Smirnova of Stylegination.
