- - Valentine's Day Ideas - -

 
What are you guys doing for Valentine's Day? It's totally okay if you don't have much planned - sometimes I don't either. 

However, if you are looking for ideas of where to take your significant other (and you don't have the patience for packed restaurants on the 14th), I've jotted down a few thoughts below to get you inspired:

- - MakeSpace | My Go-To Fall Essential(s) - -

I recently got an invitation from MakeSpace, an on-demand self-storage service that picks up, stores, and delivers your items to you, to discuss the Fall essentials that I'm rocking this year.

To be honest, there's only one item that - year after year - I dig out from the "cold weather" bin in my basement and that is my favourite Club Monaco wool beret. It's honestly the best hat ever! This little hat has gotten me through all of autumn for the last 4 years and through most of the winters. If they ever release the exact beret again I'm seriously buying about 3 more of them. Until then, I have to keep my one and only in excellent shape.

I do have to say though that I have changed things up a tiny bit this autumn. Since the weather in Toronto has been fairly warm this year (seriously...it'll be 15° Celsius tomorrow and even higher next week),  I've been trying to wear a floppy Fall hat more and more (pictured above).

This floppy hat (from Dynamite) definitely isn't made for our Canadian winters, but while the weather is fairly mild it's keeping me warm (as well as fashionable!).

One thing for sure though - after the season passes all of my autumn and winter gear will go back to the basement. Wouldn't it be great though if you could have an on-demand service that stored your unneeded items somewhere other than the back of your closet or basement? That's what MakeSpace does! MakeSpace actually has an App that makes the process of moving items away and back to you easier and literally at your fingertips. I hope you guys have a moment to check them out and see what cities they offer their services in! 

What is your go-to item for Fall? 

Thank you for reading! 💕

- - L'Occitane | Joyeuses Fêtes Voyage Set Review - -

Last week L'Occitane released their Holiday 2016 collection. This is super exciting news for anyone who has been waiting on that famous L'Occitane Advent Calendar to finally be released! Along with the Advent Calendar, L'Occitane also introduced a number of gift sets from their best-selling product lines - Shea Butter, Almond, and Lavender. These sets cost $65 and up. They're pretty good value for what you get inside, but they're definitely not the least expensive out there.

Luckily, L'Occitane did release a number of smaller gift packages that are totally affordable and just as great in quality as the bigger sets. In fact, if you ever go into a L'Occitane boutique check out one set in particular: the Joyeuses Fêtes Voyage Set. I'm going to tell you a little more about it today.

- - Adore Me | Autumn Palette Challenge - -

When the leaves start changing colours you know that Autumn has officially arrived.

To go along with the feel of the season, I recently got some encouragement from Adore Me, a lovely one-stop shop for everything lingerie, to talk about a Fall beauty trend that I'm rocking this year. I love trying out new products, yet I'm actually pretty minimalist when it comes to daily makeup. I do experiment from time to time (even if it's in the comfort of my own home), so if I had to choose one trend for Autumn 2016, I would have to say that it's a metallic lip - especially a red metallic lip.

To find more inspiration I looked through Adore Me's bras and panties page. It was tough finding a favourite set because they have so many! The one set that spoke out to me though was Zariah. It's a classic and understated bralette & panty set:

Adore Me - Zariah

I can see myself wearing this set with my metallic red lip and an outfit like this:

Simple, casual, and classic with a slight pop of colour.

Check out Adore Me if you get the chance - they have beautiful sets for everyone! You can also follow them on Pinterest to get inspired. :) 

What is your go-to beauty trend this Fall?
