I don’t know who needs to hear this but I am wearing a ‘short’ jean from Amazon as a 5’1 person but I find the extra short fits way better! I only learned this recently! I always assumed that short was for petite but extra short is even more fitting for me.

I linked a similar wash but mine is sold out- the medium wash was what this pair was

Linking my striped top- I’m wearing it in a xxs and I like where it hits me on the sleeves. It’s really great quality

I love this outfit! Especially this top from Sezane. The ruffled straps are adjustable and the silhouette of this is so flattering. Plus the ruching means I don’t have to wear any bras underneath!

I paired it with these dark jeans from Abercrombie- and if you didn’t know, Abercrombie extra short jeans are a really good fit on people my height. I’m 5’1 and for once, I don’t have to hem my jeans!

I linked these super pretty and comfortable heels too!

This is what moms want according to my mother. No flowers for this practical lady! (This is a quick one to whip together last minute too!)

I love that this sort of resembles a bouquet without flowers. It’s a bouquet of memories and future memories we can create together!

My mom actually requested no flowers and asked for cash in lieu of us purchasing blooms 😅 and if a gift card sounds too impersonal, attach a note with some fun activities you can do together based on the gift card. It could be a spa date together, a home improvement project that you can help her with or better yet, a gift card related to their interest that they can do with you!

After all, moms just want to spend time with their kids.

Sorry I had to block you for the next two days mom!

Happy early Mother’s Day to all maternal figures. I see you. 🤍

Making blended over night oats with my Our Place blender! This recipe is so easy, delicious and quick especially when you have a blender like this one.

It comes in several colour options and you can get the accessories like the pitcher for bigger batches.

This blender reminds me of the Magic Bullet but way cuter and prettier.

I’ve been figuring out my style and have taken a lot of your tips to heart! I focus on material & silhouette now and this dress is a winner for me!

It’s a linen dress from Aritzia, shorter in the front and longer in the back. It’s a beautiful silhouette and I love the flattering neckline.

This would be perfect for a brunch, date night or even for a day time wedding at a church! But you can dress it down for work too

These fluttering linen curtains are such great quality for a good price. I swear by them. I have two packs here making it four panels for a fuller look. I also linked my go to curtain rod. They have the prettiest finish and comes in various sizes. I’ve used them all over my home.

I linked my bedding from Brookline as well because of the Memorial Day sale.

I am loving these vest dresses! I got this in a size small but think I can size down to an XS in petite. I’m 5’1 for reference.

This is a nice linen blend material and it’s so easy but stylish to wear and style. It’s giving effortless summer chic in the city

Our Secret Garden dressing room took quite some time to get to where it’s at today. But home takes time.

And I really took my sweet time. We bought this house back in June 2021 and didn’t have a closet till March of 2023 when we saved up enough to have a custom his & hers wardrobe built.

I decided to have it made in raw mdf to save on costs because I knew I wanted to customize it myself. But it took until January of 2024 to finally add the trim. At that time I just primed it white.

Then in April, I added window cling to the glass doors to give it a stain glass effect. The Secret Garden dressing room was finally taking shape.

And this month, I finally painted our closet in this beautiful blue the perfectly compliments the stain glass effect and the marble tiles in the bathroom.

I’m so pleased with how this space turned out! It took over three years to complete this project but I’m glad I took my time to save, plan and gather the perfect pieces for this space. It came together beautifully.

Shout out to some accounts for inspiring this project! @reserve_home introduced the idea of window cling and corbels into my world and I fell in love with @hummusbirrd mirror so I bought one for this space. And I bought that iron hanger from @lemontree_interiors many years ago before we even planned for this closet. It finally found a home here.

If you’re looking for sources, I will have everything linked in my stories and on my LTK shop, the link will be in my bio.

I’ve been playing with glitter eyeshadow and this palette is so good! I have the warm tone one but also linked the cooler tone eyeshadow palette.

But wanted to also share this maxi dress. It comes in four other colours. It has pockets, it’s float and the double straps are so pretty in the back making a criss criss detailing. Plus you don’t have to wear a bra 😉

I was about to go out to do some gardening and was slapping on sunscreen when I thought I’d share this quick unstick protection bar with you. You can have a full face of make up and apply this over and your make up stays intact. It’s got great reviews and it’s on sale right now!

You’re suppose to reapply sunscreen through the day, and if you’re like me, you don’t because you don’t want to mess up your make up. This is going to solve that problem for you!

Applying sunscreen and sunblock is a must on cloudy or sunny days! I even apply this in front of the computer indoors! UV light is still going to be emitted!

I’ve been experimenting with make up a lot more recently. I think it’s hitting my late 30s and I got stuck doing the same thing over and over. It’s been so fun!

This week I picked up this eyeshadow pallete and the shimmers and glitters are so much fun! The tech has really changed in make up since I remember.

I’m wearing Autumn Breeze in Seoul Forest by Clio which is more warm toned. But I also linked the cool tone palette here as well! The price is so reasonable for the quality. And the packaging is so cute!

Our Secret Garden dressing room mood board. I’m adding pretty architectural details with corbels and bringing some charm in with window cling that looks like stain glass. The pretty semi flush chandelier is a nice touch since it reminds me of climbing vines. Adding an arched mirror in here too for some grandeur

This softest rug I ever laid foot on is also on sale for @wayfair Way Day today. Hides stains so well, I freaking love the material of this rug. So dang plush. I hate carpet but would carpet my entire bedroom in this material if I could. It’s that good.

Our basement bathroom doesn’t get enough love. This cutie vanity has that scalloped detailing. And the mirror tilts! On super sale right now!

#LTKhome

Our vanity is so pretty and provides so much storage. It was important that we got a lot of drawers. I love how the warmth of the wood plays off the cold marble. And we mixed hardware in here as well! Linking our walk through closet chandi here too

#LTKhome

Way Day is here! If you haven’t thought about adding a hutch to your bathroom you’re missing out. It provides so much storage and it looks so pretty!!! Oh and our chandelier is so beautiful with the frosted glass beads

#LTKhome

Way Day is here! Here’s what’s in our bathroom and on sale. I love the brass towel bar and the polished nickel faucet. We mixed metals with the black sconce and warmed it up with an oval mirror

These Lego like puzzle/ building collectibles are so freaking cute I can’t even handle it. They’re miniature stackable dim sum figurines you assemble yourself. Around $20 per kit and it’s such a fun collectible that kids (or adults) over 6 years old can do.

Got a lot of questions about the heels I wore for the wedding this weekend. These are strappy heels with a square toe. I love how they’re delicate but feel sturdy on the feet. It’s about 3.75 inches high but it didn’t kill my feet.

The heel has a flared bottom so it felt stable even thought it’s a stiletto. I love the simple but pretty style of it. Comes in several colours as well

Did you know you can deep clean your laundry by stripping it? It’s quite satisfying to see all the grime, body oils and laundry detergent build up soak out. And you can brighten and whiten your white bedding and towels this way! Over time, I’ve noticed my nice fluffy towels become scruffy and dingy and my bedding and pillow cases have seen better days.

Stripping your laundry is easy! Fill your tub (or big bucket) with super hot water and add a cup of powdered laundry detergent, a quarter cup of borax and a quarter cup of washing soda. Mix well until dissolved.

Throw in your laundry and let it marinate for at least 4 hours. And watch all the oil, dirt, grime and detergent build up come out. Drain your tub and transport your wet laundry in a garbage bag lined basket.

Then throw your wet laundry into the washer with an additional cycle. I chose to add bleach to further brighten my whites. Skip this step if you’re stripping colourful clothing, towels or bedding.

Next, transfer to your laundry to the dryer with a few tennis balls or wool balls to fluff up your laundry.
 And there you have! You’ve deep cleaned your laundry!

This is my updated little black dress. It’s slinky but not clingy. It’s super silky feeling and the cut is so flattering. And the neckline drapes so prettily! It’s an effortless dress. I’m wearing to a wedding!

I’ve worn it with a cute sweater that I’ve linked below with knee high boots on their winter

#LTKVideo #LTKwedding #LTKparties

I love this outfit because it’s not actually a dress! It’s two pieces that are super versatile and comfy. Plus you don’t need special garments for the top because it’s super thick, ribbed and works like a spanx. (But comfier) I also really like the neckline.

Plus the skirt has been so good to have in my closet, throw a cardigan or a sweater over top and pull on some boots and you have a really cute going out look.

With it together, it looks like an entire dress! I love it

Miniature art has my heart. I love these pieces by my friend Melissa. You can find these on Etsy. The delicate gold frames and velvet ribbon adds such a beautiful touch to these bodacious 🍐 acrylics. And the lavender field painting is darling.

I’ll be buying more from her for sure!

Learning to style myself in my late 30s is so interesting. I want good quality, good fit and look classic but current. But not too trendy. lol. Am I asking for too much or do you get me?

Have you ever tried force blooming any flowers indoors? It’s so beautiful and I find myself looking forward to checking on the progress throughout the days.

Force blooming is a technique used to get flowers to bloom earlier than their natural cycle. By bringing home a stem or branch near the end of winter into the warmth of a home, it would “trick” the plant into thinking it’s an early spring and bloom earlier.

Here I am force blooming a magnolia branch I got from @instaorchidflorist when I first brought it home I gave the end of the branch a fresh cut and put it in room temperature water (about a quarter of the way in the case). It’s advised to put your branches out of direct sunlight and to change the water often.

You can also mist the buds to keep them from drying out before they bloom.

Branches that are great for force blooming are magnolias, cherry blossoms, forsythias, lilacs, hawthorns, quince, and apple blossoms to name a few! You can always ask your local florist what they can acquire because it is seasonal.

This reel was inspired by @thuydao__ whose foraged magnolia inspired me to get a branch of my own.

Our laundry room that doubles up as a mud room and utility closet! We’ve made this space functional, easy to access and bright!

#LTKhome

Here’s how you can maximize your laundry space with these tips and tricks.

1) take advantage of your vertical space. I installed a tension rod high up to hang our cleaning products. It saves me valuable cupboard space and I see what I have.

Speaking of vertical space, hang a dowel above your laundry sink for an extra place to hang dry clothing. I linked some tension rods and a pipe cutter if you need to adjust the length for your space.

2) Use Command grippers to organize and keep your brooms and cleaning supplies standing up and tidy. I linked other options that look super handy as well.

3) Use peg hooks to hold items you grab daily. I created a landing zone for our keys and bags. I got these peg hooks from H&M.

Now everything has a home, is super accessible and easy to put away

This corner is so well utilized now.

Spring cleaning is here and I’m ashamed to say this but I only deep clean my fridge once a year. I normally just spot clean but for the deep clean I take everything out and scrub everything. Wheee glad that’s done!
