EYE CANDY // 1

March 13, 2015/ Laura Liira

Pinterest is my favourite video game. I know Pinterest isn't a video game, but I don't have games on my phone. The only thing I ever want to play on my phone is Pinterest (ok and instagram). I never get sick of the constant stream of creativity!!! Sooooo many inspiring images, quotes and design.

And if you're not on Pinterest...GET ON IT... and follow me while you're at it ;)

Here's what's been catching my eye on Pinterest (omgeeee they autocorrect pinterest to Pinterest...freaky...) lately....

Clearly PALE PINK is my love language.....seriously. I. NEED. THAT. CHAIR. IN. MY. LIFE. Does anyone know how to reupholster? :)

White jeans....I want some so bad, but go and try them on and they are like blaaaah. I want that ripped pair but I always get made fun of by some older people at my church when I wear them.. :)

Pink waves always make me sooo happy. Maybe we'll incorporate these into next year's Illuminate???

And I reaaaaalllly want birkenstocks for the summer. I have my eyes on these puppies.

AND PINK LE CREUSET...I DIE.....so on fleek. or point...oh gosh I need to brush up on my "keeping up with the cool kids grammar".

Well friends, hope you have THE BEST weekend! Any plans? I'm going to Cinderella tonight and I'm soooo stoked. #disneyprincessesforever

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

May 09, 2014/ Laura Liira

One day I won $50 on a monopoly scratch and win ticket. It was awesome. I bought a gift for my mom with my earnings. A massive, stuffed animal dog. Oh, I should probably mention, I was like eight years old or something (and my dad bought the scratch and win ticket, incase you were wondering, ha).

That being said, over the years, I have become a better gift giver (because stuffed puppies aren't everybody's thang). And today I have for you, some gift ideas for your momma. Moms are awesome and totally deserve that $40 candle you were eyeing...

1. Kobo Candle- These are my favourite candle. James got me the Kyoto Quince one for Christmas and I light it all the time. They last a long time because they're soy wax and they give off a good but not overpowering scent. If you're in Victoria, you can get it at Violette Boutique!

2. L'occitane Hand Cream- This is my favourite hand cream and I'm sure your momma would love it too. It gives off a great scent and is super moisturizing yet not greasy...win win!

3. Issey Miyake Perfume- I have the EDT version of this scent and totally love it. It's floral and so elegant. Perfect for you mom.

4. Switch Off Your Brain by Caroline Leaf- Caroline Leaf spoke at the conference I went to last weekend. She is incredibly smart. Your momma would be blessed by this book.

5. Sophie Conran Teapot- How cute is this teapot? Can't you imagine you and your mom having a beautiful conversation while drinking tea from this pot?

6. Rifle Paper Card- Incase you haven't picked out a card yet, this one is really pretty. :)

So you now have two days to pick something out for your momma. Hopefully these gifts inspire you and if you're stuck, go to the florist and get some peonies that will make her heart sparkle.

FIVE THINGS ON FRIDAY // 1

April 25, 2014/ Laura Liira

Welcome to my first weekly feature... Five things on Friday. Come creep here every Friday to see what's making this ol heart sparkle.

So today I'm talking one of my favourite things, BLOGS! Get this straight...I love reading blogs. I follow quite a few (understatement lols) but here are my fave five.

1. Design love Fest- DLF is a blog by the talented Bri Emery. She's a pro graphic designer/mama to an incredible blog. At DLF I find constant inspiration. She has incredible style graphically and I also enjoy creeping her life...

2. Bleubird- This blog is by a girl named James. She's a mama to four beautiful kiddos and mainly documents their life but ads in a few recipe/style/beauty posts here and there. It's kind of weird to follow lifestyle blogs as you get a good glimpse into people's lives. I see it as watching tv, except the episodes only take me about 30 seconds to finish.

3. Style By Emily Henderson- Ok my biggest blog crush goes to this girl. She has the best home sense I've ever seen, has a super cute baby AND is freaking hilarious. There have been multiple times when I've been reading Emily's blog and have found myself laughing out loud. AND she met Snoop Dogg and he called her baby 'Cousin Charlie'..HOW COOL IS THAT...I basically want to be her when I grow up...

4. She Loves Magazine- Here is my daily faith inspiration. She Loves Magazine is an online collective of a bunch of different women (and a few guys) who write to inspire women. I'm blown away by the talent collected on this site and I look forward everyday to reading the new She Loves post!

5. Joy the Baker- Because I like to bake and cook I read A LOT of food blogs but Joy the Baker is my fave. Through her incredible writing, I'm feel as though I'm sitting at her table while she tells me how to bake her latest creation. She makes me laugh and bring depth to doughnuts...what's not to love about her?

I read all the blogs through a website called BLOGLOVIN. If you do not have bloglovin, GET IT. GET IT GET IT GET IT GIRL. Honestly, it makes blog reading soooooo much easier. Instead of going to multiple blog sites to see if they've updated, you just go bloglovin and you can read all the new posts there...in ONE spot.

Oh and after you get bloglovin, please follow ssheart on it by clicking the Eiffel tower below (or searching my blog on bloglovin)
