{Wishlist Wednesday}

Inspired by the sunshine that decided to make an appearance this week, I'm loving Dyanmite's summer line. 

I love the look of pairing almost exclusively neutrals with one bold pop of colour.  I see brown and red getting together in my closet's future!


Such cute prints and colours with sweet details around the neckline, and breezy fabric.
 

Having so many weddings to attend this summer means lots of new dresses!  I'm so in love with the variety of styles, cuts, colours, fabrics, everything!  A dress for every wedding, for casual days at home, and even one for school.  Can you tell I'm a girlie girl?

And one bold pop of colour to switch things up!
Is Dynamite a mainstream store with "simply" designed clothes? Absolutely. Am I loving it anyway? Totally.  Just my style.

{Music Monday}



Well, in honour of the members only event this weekend, I couldn't help but listen to a lot of Hanson and wish that I was there.  I'm going to save you the schpiel about how they're not 11 and singing MMMBop, and assume since you're reading my blog that you've gotten over that. 

The new album "Shout It Out" came out last summer, and even though I wouldn't say it's my favorite album of theirs (sorry boys, that title still goes to Underneath) but it's so catchy and fun, it's perfect for summertime.

My favorite summer song:

My favorite song from the album:

My favorite new artist that I recently discovered is Ellie Goulding.  Is she not the cutest little thing ever?  Her voice is so pure and haunting.  And she covers Elton John...how is she not absolutely fantastic?  I think her album Lights is going to be my next purchase.



What are you currently loving?

{Weekend Recap}

What a long overdue laid back weekend.  Most weekends lately have revolved around sleeping in, drinking and recovering the next day, but for whatever reason, this weekend was different.  In a complete coincidence, it was way more productive than most other weekends too!



Friday night was spent going for birthday drinks to celebrate the lovely Miss Kristin's birthday.  The tiki huts at the bar we frequent were finally open for the spring, and we definitely took advantage!  Although it was still a little chilly, it wasn't anything a cardi couldn't fix.  There's nothing like a ceasar after a long week of work!


Saturday morning included a phenomenal amount of sleeping in, and then nursing my poor sister Paige back to health.  In true Holly and Paige style though, it wasn't anything Taco Bell can't fix.  Diet be damned, I will never give up my undying love of Taco Bell!  Satuday night was the most low key of all - sitting around with a group of friends playing cards.  Since when were we 80?  Since when did I enjoy that??


Today is a me day!  Cleaned the apartment top to bottom, organized my jewellry, worked out, made a yum-o supper of chicken parmesean, snow peas and pasta, and am planning to settle in for the rest of the night with a cup of coffee and Celebrity Apprentice.  Did I mention I stayed in my pj's all day today?  Bliss.


Next weeks goal?  Take pictures!
