Spring is here to stay and I can say that with confidence and pride. The most fashionable way to embrace spring this year is to bring some flowers into your wardrobe.

Whether you like bright bolds or prefer a subtle touch of brilliance. This trend of florals is for any kind of woman out there. If you are a person who embraces fashion full force than a floral printed dress from H&M or printed blouse from Jacob might be the path to go down. Since these items are both attention grabbing, opting for a solid color shoe and or pant would work best to pull the look together.

If making a bold statement is to much for you there are still options to add florals into your closet but in a smaller way. By purchasing a printed shoe like the one at Town Shoes or using a scarf like the one at Jacob you can add the touch of spring you are seeking to refresh your look without being over the top.

However you want to embrace spring, there is always a way for you to do it, both big and small. So go out to Kingsway Mall and grab some floral items that will keep you looking as fresh as the flowers.

Spring Dreams

The last few weeks I’ve been trying to bring as much spring into my daily outfit as possible. Bright colors, florals, and light flowy fabrics draw the mind to a warm spring day. My theory is that if I dress spring…it will be spring! And it seems to be working! So to amp it up to the next level I decided to bring spring inside my home too! So a quick stop in to see the lovely ladies at Quilts Ect was in order!

And with their help, not only did I find a little spring for my bedroom, but I also learned a lot about how to maximize my comfort while sleeping! They introduced me to a fabric called Tencel, and I’m hooked! It is probably the softest fabric I’ve ever laid my hands on and if that’s not enough to fall in love with, it’s also very eco-friendly! It is respected as a highly sustainable textile that is man made using nanotechnology with the fibres of bark from the Eucalyptus tree. The resulting fabric is a soft, moisture-wicking, biodegradable, hypo-allergenic dream!

Pretty soon we’ll be admiring all the tulips popping up in front yards…but in the meantime…I’ll be dreaming of yellow tencel poppies!

Spring Colours

Spring is sprung, the grass is riz. I wonder where the shoe sale is!

Winter may be throwing out its last hurrah, but spring is just around the corner and our friends at Kingsway Mall are already bringing in all of the newest spring fashions.

Bright, tropical colour is the name of the game this season with vibrant pinks and tangerine oranges standing at the forefront. Boldly patterned tops and scarves are popular this season, dominated by cheerful floral patterns and feminine lace and ruffled details.

While vintage styles that harken back to the 60’s and 70’s remain common, fashions reminiscent of the 1920’s are becoming equally prevalent. Loose-fitting dresses embellished with fringe and elaborate beadwork and dropped-waist silhouettes flatter the figure as well as giving a Gatsby-esque flare to an outfit that makes any woman feel glamorous.

This season’s nautical and 60’s-inspired colour blocking trends have also translated into footwear. A vibrantly coloured shoe with an eye-catching pattern or bold embellishment –-such as a buckle, bow, or flower—is a great way to add a pop of personality to any outfit whether you’re into sneakers or stilettos.

Spring is on its way and it’s time to step out in style. You’ll find everything you need this season here at Kingsway Mall.

This spring vibrant colors are making an entrance from, make up, accessories to even jeans. During our winter months I was seeing a lot of colored denim. I found it so eye catching to see these deep jewel tone jeans that I hoped that colored denim was here to stay for spring. To my enjoyment and surprise, it is here to stay for spring but with a brighter side.

Bright colored clothing is everywhere on the runways and even being shown off by some of Hollywoods most famous. The most practical way to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe and save money, is with a fabulous pair of jeans. They come in a variety of colors such as; canary yellow, mint green, bright pink and electric soft blue.

By wearing a bright color on the bottom or a neon handbag with a pastel color blouse. You will be able to look as fresh as the newly blossomed flowers.

So go out! Grab a pair from Kingsway Mall and watch the pants add to your spring essentials. Who knows, maybe you will catch someone’s eye, resembling mouth watering, cotton candy- confectionary denim.

Valentine’s Day

I’ve always said that love should never be measured as 50/50. Rather, it should be 100/100. Valentine’s Day is one of those days where there can be a lot of pressure to pull off the most amazing date, find the most romantic card, and the most thoughtful gift. But it’s not about the item itself; it’s the thought behind it that makes it special. Give 100% thought, and you’ll get back 100% love!

This year, for my gift to my husband, I went to Black’s in Kingsway Mall and in 15 minutes had put together a beautiful red photo story book of our life! The best part is that it was ready in 1 hour and it only cost $20! The program was really easy to use and you can customize it to best suit your ideas! I included photos from the time we met, when we got married, when our kids were born, and memorable holidays we’ve had together. It turned out beautiful and I can’t wait to give it to him!

Jewelry never goes out of style and when I stopped by Crowley’s I was quickly enamoured with many of the gorgeous pieces they have there. I love the idea of starting a charm bracelet, this way you’ll know what to get her for all upcoming birthdays, anniversaries and holidays! The ones at Crowley’s made by Thomas Sabo are both gorgeous and great quality; it’s definitely a gift that she would cherish for the rest of her life! They have charms to suit any girls style, and there were many love themed ones too!

In this day, the gift of time is the most precious gift to be given. So symbolize the time you cherish with your loved one by giving each other a beautiful Nixon watch from Watch It!
So happy Valentine’s Day to you…make it easy for yourself, do your shopping at Kingsway Mall!
