This year I had a really late start in preparing for Christmas. I usually bring up the tree from storage the week after Halloween, but I was completely slacking. It could’ve been the mild weather, as I was still out & about enjoying the sun and wasn’t quite in the winter/holiday mode. Because of it, everything pretty much got pushed back. From christmas shopping, to organizing Christmas events (some didn’t even happen because the plans were so last minute), to this extremely late blog post! I apologize, but I have learned my lesson! The sooner I start, the more time I have to enjoy the decor and not be too stressed in trying to complete everything before the holidays. So here it is… My 2017 holiday home tour. I kept it very similar to last year’s winter wonderland theme minus the black and gold accents. This made it little more soft and elegant to the eye and gave my space a calm & serene feeling. Touches of blush pink appeared in spots, which totally wasn’t planned, but I ended up loving the colour. It has inspired me to do blush pink on my tree next year! Anyway, Enjoy my home tour! Leave a comment below and let me know what you think.
SIMPLE & CHIC HALLOWEEN DECOR
October is here and now that Thanksgiving has passed, it’s time to start thinking about Halloween. For those of you who don’t know… I’m obsessed with Halloween!!! My birthday happens to fall the day after, so every year I like to do a Halloween/Birthday event and put a theme to it. Last year I hosted my party at BATL Grounds, which is a unique urban venue where you have the thrill of learning axe throwing and have a competitive game amongst your friends. Dress code was Zombies! This year I decided on the theatrical Escape Room Challenge at Toronto’s beautiful landmark, Casa Loma Castle. The Escape game has a full sound and set design with live actors! The game unfolds in the post World War II era of Toronto’s history, so I thought it would be a perfect idea to all dress in 1940’s fashion to match with the theme and venue. Eek! I can’t wait! I love organizing these events and the best part is putting my costume together and seeing what everyone else comes up with for theirs. With all the excitement on planning the event, my halloween decor tends to take a back seat. I like to go light with the decor and choose items that are classy, affordable and easy to get. I’ve put together some tips to help inspire you to add a little Halloween in your home!
