The Perfect Afternoon continued

As promised, here are my spring picks that I am going to be looking for:

1. Golden Accessories. I was very much inspired by all the gold in the designer ads for spring. On my    shopping list are gold aviators and a chunky gold necklace and bracelet.

2. Floral Blazers - I've seen them from a couple of different companies and I will definitely have my eyes peeled for one of them. Both Loft and Bebe have some great blazers.

3. Chunky Heels - I'm not really a heels kinda person but these shoes have me intrigued. They look both comfortable for a Mom on the go yet stylish and current. Love the ones from J. Crew.

4. New Flats - Tired of  ballet flats being the only flat shoe options out there. I am a sneaker girl at heart but I know they make me look a little frumpy. I really want to check out a moccasin style.

5. Sheer Lip Colour - Looking for something that gives a polished look without being heavy like a lipstick.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

The Perfect Afternoon

           My perfect afternoon began as I had put my son down for his afternoon nap and I noticed the postman had delivered the new, very thick I might add, spring issue of InStyle magazine.

Side Note: I so love fashion but after moving to the small town after living in two major Canadian cities and having a baby I have fallen a bit out of touch with the fashion world. So my New Year's resolution for 2013, is to get back in touch with my love for fashion and art. To be inspired once again, with the colour and design found on each page of a crisp, new, glossy magazine page. To find time, to sit and enjoy my magazine without little hands wanting to see what Mommy is doing. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom and a wife, it's just that I have lost pieces of myself (that's a story for another day) along the way. So my journey is to reconnect with those lost pieces so I can be a better wife and mother.

Back to my perfect afternoon...

         I quickly grabbed my new issue and before heading for my favourite spot on the couch I grab some chocolate. Of course, you cannot have a perfect afternoon without chocolate. I begin to flip through those glossy pages and the excitement and inspiration start to build inside me. My mind is beginning to start to whirl with ideas. I only made it half way through the magazine today (my little napper just woke up) but stay tuned for next entry which will have my new spring inspirations.
