The weather has been quite strange lately so I haven't been able to squeeze in an outfit post. We received a snowfall yesterday morning, which is ridiculous since it's nearly May. However, I don't mind it too much since we barely witnessed any snow this past winter. I just hope the weather can be much more consistent in the coming weeks so I can actually plan my outfits ahead of time!

Ever since I moved back to Toronto, I have been craving for macarons. Luckily, a few of the girls were able to gather together on Sunday to make a trip down to Butter Avenue. It had a very clean interior and a great selection of macaron flavours (it's the next best thing after La Bamboche). Definitely recommend it to those who are in Toronto!

Little things: bedroom decor

Here's a peek at what I have been occupied with in the past week. I have always wanted to rearrange and decorate my room, but with all of the moving in the last four years as a result of living away from home, it has been nearly impossible. I'm very pleased with what I have done so far and I'm beginning to really appreciate this small space. I love waking up to the natural lighting that flows through my white curtains in the morning!

Now all that I am missing is a vintage mirror vanity tray, a marble tulip bedside table, tufted headboard, some gold accents, and fashion/home decor hardcovers (yeah, that sounds like a lot). I've retrieved some of my inspiration from Pinterest so I would highly recommend visiting this site to anyone who is looking to redesign their own space.

Lace and quilted

I can't wait until the weather warms up - I love the springtime because it gives me an excuse to pull out all my neutrals and skirts! The last few days have been filled with unpacking, cleaning and reorganizing now that I'm all moved back to my Toronto home. I'm just about to head out to Ikea to pick up a few more decorative accents to complete my room.
