I have this thing with shoes

Hi Everyone!

May is one of my favourite months of the year.  The days start to get longer, the sun shines a little brighter and I can finally trade in my winter boots for some fabulous footwear.  With shoes on the brain, my mood board for May reflects my current mindset as we move into the warmer months.  Enjoy!

Inspiring Interior

Hi Everyone!

Today is the first day of spring, but thanks to a snow storm last week there is still a ton of snow on the ground.  Winter may be on it’s way out but it seems determined to not go quietly.  Normally, by this time of year I am winter weary and dreaming of the warmer weather but this year I have decided to enjoy the last few weeks (hopefully not longer) of winter weather by taking some time to slow down, to nest and breathe.

Today’s Inspiring Interior is reflective of my current, more relaxed state of mind.  Located in Stockholm, this apartment is the epitome of chic yet understated Scandinavian design.  Large windows offer beautiful views of the city while drenching the apartment in natural light.  The colour palate is a sophisticated neutral combination of greys, whites, creams, blacks and light wood.  Designed by the talented Pella Hedeby, this apartment is the perfect refuge for a winter weary soul like me.  A girl can dream…..

Bags and Blooms

Hi Everyone!

I can’t believe that it is already March!  It feels like this year is just zipping by!  While we have experienced a few beautiful days here in Montreal, I can’t wait for the warmer weather and lighter clothing options.  One my favourite things to do is to build mood boards filled with things that make me smile – fabulous fashion shots, inspirational quotes, delicious food and anything else that makes me happy.

While many may think that fashion shots are an odd choice for a wellness blog, I humbly disagree.  Wellness is about healthy eating and living but it is also about embracing things that feed your soul and for me fashion just happens to be one of the things that makes me incredibly happy.

So without further adieu here are some of the shots that I am thriving on at the moment:

Inspiring Design

My love of nesting is currently in overdrive.  The winter season may be almost over but I intend to make the most of the last few weeks (hopefully) of the cold weather.

This home in Sweden is straight out of my winter nesting daydreams.  With gorgeous sea views, a comforting minimalist vibe and beautiful muted tones this home is incredible.  Recently renovated, the large kitchen is the perfect refuge for the long winters and the  entire house is the perfect place to nest anytime of the year.  White floors help to brighten the entire home and contrast perfectly with the deep muted and textured tones of the walls.  The garden is a beautiful space to enjoy the gorgeous views once the weather warms up.  This a dream home, inside and out!  I am obsessed!fullsizeoutput_1479

Inspiring Interior

I am completely in love with this week’s Inspiring Interior. Since I completed my certification in interior design a few years ago, my style has and design aesthetic has changed a lot. I used to be obsessed with pattern and brightly contrasting hues and now? The simpler the better. I love the little details – simple and elegant texture, a lot of natural light, bright open spaces, and neutral tones with brightly coloured accents. This space completely fulfils my design loving heart.

Located in Berlin, this gorgeous apartment is filled with natural light, gorgeous tones and stunning furniture. High ceiling and stark white walls complement the natural wood floor beautifully, minimal furniture and bold artwork.  Subtle touches of bright colour and bold patterns help to tie everything together. The kitchen is simple and clean yet welcoming and the balcony seems like the perfect place to relax and enjoy the weather. This apartment is front and centre on my vision board at the moment.
