My favourite things for Spring 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n What can I say, winter is almost over but to be honest, it hasn’t been a typical winter in Toronto. I can probably count on my fingers the amount of times it snowed this season and we only had a handful of days with frigid temperatures. Basically, I’m not complaining but I’m definitely looking forward to Spring.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I recently attended an event that highlighted some new and exciting products and services for the Spring from my favourite brands. Here are some of my favourite things:<\/p>\n ETSY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n I’m obsessed with Etsy and I know it’s going to be trouble whenever I go on. That’s because I want EVERYTHING on there. I love home-made items, supporting small businesses and finding unique items to gift and keep. But my favourite find is this beautiful Mid Century Modern Plant Stand from\u00a0Hook And Stem C<\/a><\/strong>o. It retails for $58, which is a steal because most of the comparable items that I’ve found are around $300! It’s a great way to spruce up your home with some live plants this season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TOMS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n I know I’ve said it before, but I just love this company. Not only do they make comfortable and stylish shoes, bags and sunglasses, but they also give back!\u00a0For every\u00a0pair of TOMS shoes purchased, TOMS provides a new pair of shoes to a child in need. For every pair of TOMS eyewear purchased, TOMS helps restore sight to people in need.\u00a0For every TOMS bag purchased, TOMS will help provide a safe birth for a mother and baby in need. I love my duffel bag which I used as a diaper bag for the longest time. Here’s a sneak peek at some of their new Spring items – I kind of want it ALL – don’t you???<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TILLY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If you haven’t heard of Tilly’s before – listen up! They are a Canadian company that make amazing hats that are both stylish and protective against the sun’s harmful UV rays. I was so happy to have the Junior Tilly Hats (which are fairly new to the collection) during our recent trip to Costa Rica. At the event I picked up this beautiful Fedora. I’m typically not a hat person, but I actually love the way it fits and looks on me. I’m excited to wear it up at the cottage this summer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n REDKEN<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n You may not know this about me, but I have natural curly hair. However, I pretty much keep my hair straight all the time. I don’t have TIME to actually straighten it daily so I need products that make it quick and easy for me to get my hair pin-straight looking. I haven’t tried out this product yet, but I was immediately drawn to it. Redken came out with a new\u00a0No Blow Dry cream<\/a><\/strong>. Apply and let your hair air-dry with no-product feel.\u00a0 Perfect if you\u2019re tight on time, taking a break from heat tools, or looking for effortless style!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
