Pastels are going to be everywhere for Spring 2012, but if you’re a bit wary of all that colour, why not try adding a dash of it on your nails? Painting your nail can add a bit of whimsy to your day and since it’s such a snap to change, there’s no limit to the styles you can try! (If only colouring our hair could be so simple, right?) Here are a few nail colours ideas that I’m loving right now. Enjoy!

I will definitely be spending Valentine’s Day with the love of my life (aka my adorable three-year-old daughter)  but that doesn’t mean I’m not daydreaming about super cute date night looks for some future romantic soiree! Here are a few outfits I’ve been swooning over lately — along with a couple great looks for the guys! Enjoy!

Fashion Friday: Tiny Valentine Style

Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away, and so I thought I might share some adorable looks for the little ones on that loveliest of days. I was a bit of a tomboy (a LOT, actually) when I was little, but my mother always went all out to dress me up in some sort of fancy getup for Valentine’s Day — and ALL holidays for that matter. Looking back I was pretty darn cute, but at the time, I could have cried for all

BIG polka dots are BIG this season. Think dresses and cardigans, or even tights. Paired with bright colours — you can’t go wrong. I love that Spring 2012 is going to be all about big prints, especially dots and stripes — as well as bright colours, nearly whimsical. It’s all about fun! Enjoy it! Here’s what this mama would like to be wearing in the coming months:

Confession time. When I was a little girl, I used to hope against hopes that my vision would deteriorate so that I might be able to wear a super cool pair of specs. If only someone had told me I could just skip the lenses and rock a fun pair of glasses anytime I wanted! Nowadays, I just swoon when I see a pair of sexy cat eyes or thick hipster frames. I can’t tell a lie, folks! Check out these bespectacled beauties below!

A few of your weren’t quite ready to jump on board the jeggings bandwagon, but perhaps you’ll join me on my quest for the perfect printed pair of tights? Fabulous for wearing with dresses, skirts & shorts, it’s time we let our legs do the talking… er, walking. Here are a four sets I’ve had my eye on:

Fashion Friday: Don’t Scowl, Grab A Cowl

This week my little Ontario city finally got hit with a wallop of snow. For a town that’s usually in the -20s by now (Celcius, that is, don’t panic) it’s strange that the snow didn’t show up until after Christmas. Now that it’s arrived, however, I’m enjoying getting all bundled up in my coziest Canadian wintertime gear. For the last few years I’ve been all about cowls, especially of the knit variety. I even made a few back when I was pregnant with my daughter.
