Do you always need a reason to celebrate? I think not! That's why I love the concept behind Banter Banner's line of revamped Happy Birthday banners. Designed from phrases near and dear to the Brooklyn-based designer's heart, the banners are meant to literally 'celebrate the everyday'. With everything going on in the world today, it's so easy to get sucked into a vortex of negativity. Don't you love how the power of words (and a little creativity) can bring us back to the simple pleasures of daily life - remember to celebrate them!

Hello Snow
As we say goodbye to February, it seems Toronto is finally saying hello to snow. While I can't say that I have missed trekking around in the slush and getting frost bite within seconds of heading outdoors, I have missed the subtle beauty that snow can bring. Blanketed sheets of pristine white have this way of turning the bustling city into a muted winter world.

Hijirik Letterpress Print
I've always loved this print from Hijirik Studio for 3 simply reasons - it's letterpress, it contains the word 'love' and it's one of my favourite life mottos. I just noticed that they produced their popular print with a pink heart in a limited run (there are only 40 prints!). This version is even better than the original - Je t'aime.
Just love the way the candy red apple jumps off the minty green in her socks.

Perfect Berry Stained Lips
My search for the perfect berry stained lip has been a long time running. I have tested, purchased and tossed what feels like dozens of runners up but never stumbled on "the one". After a Sunday brunch with the girls a few weeks ago, I browsed around Bath and Body Works to kill some time. This random visit brought my endless quest to a successful end. C.O. Bigelow's tinted Mentha Vitamin lip balm in Merlot gives me the perfect crushed berry pucker I've always wanted (and it lasts!). Colour me happy!

Lacquered Office Accessories
I rather enjoy the subtle glam that a lacquered finish can bring (especially to a home office).

From Image to Outfit
Both heavy and light, harsh and soft - the moody blues and cherry red lips in this fantastic photo dazzle me.
