Spring Fever - Canada Blooms Show

Is it just me or is this mild weather in the city strange? Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, but for mid-March we should be shovelling our driveways not sitting on patios! However, I am taking full advantage and this weekend was no exception! I headed to the National Home Show today and was excited to see what home ideas and gadgets they had. I wouldn't say I was disappointed with what the show had to offer, I was just not fully impressed. Nothing seemed to stand out (other than the 10 person hot tub with a built-in sound system!) and everything was far from original. Needless to say, an hour was spent walking around, grabbing a bite to eat, then heading over to the second show, Canada Blooms. I, by no way of the imagination, have a green thumb - my fake Ikea plant is the only bit of greenery in my life. Though, the displays at this show were nicely done, pretty, and had me so excited for Spring to "officially" start! Maybe at some point I will attempt a small garden of my own...maybe.
It was such a nice day again today and the city skyline was so clear! What type of things get you excited for Spring? S

Hello! + OOTD

Hello! My name is Sara and this is my blog. I'm a 20-something from Toronto who has always loved makeup, fashion/trends, food and travel - just to name a few! This blog is something that I've wanted to start for a while and although I can't really give you a reason why I haven't started it earlier than now, there's no time like the present! So here we go...
There's no better way to kick-off a blog than to do an OOTD! Spring time has arrived early which means lighter layers and lots of colour! I am loving the colour-blocking trend right now, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and purchased a pair of BRIGHT pink pants!

I would never wear these pants to work, although with a smart blazer and a pair of heels, it might be less risky on a casual Friday!

Sans blazer, I was wearing black flats earlier but thought the heels looked so cute!

Well, there you go...short and sweet! I have lots of ideas for upcoming posts so please check back! Tomorrow I'm heading to the National Home Show, so there will be plenty of pictures to share! :)
