Madison's Picks: Black & White

To be honest, I am a big sucker for black and white! I have always been drawn to it and sometimes I need my friends and family to be like, "lady, step away from the black, and use some colour!".

But, as I grow as a person and designer I am learning to appreciate the thoughtful integration of a second, or even third colour. I still think black and white is a great classic way to decorate your home, or even wardrobe but it is really important to integrate a pattern or a some other elements to give some "life" to your space or outfit!

Enjoy, and check out our Pinterest page for more inspiration!

"If someone offers you a breath mint, take it."


Nothing says fresh like mint!

Can you believe I am going with another colour in the green family for my pick this week? I was inspired by a certain colour I saw on the beaucoup bakery shoot last weekend (wink wink)! This colour is so fresh and bright. It is the perfect colour for the summertime sunshine.

Why not incorporate this lovely colour into your everday outfits? I am into wearing these bright colours to embrace the coming summer. What I like about mint greens, pale pinks and bright tangerine colours is that they are fresh colours that are not too overwhelming. Everyone can pull off this minty fresh colour.

Staff Picks: Emma Kirsh



Hello All!

With my first post on the blog, I wanted to embrace the coming spring with this beautiful emerald colour! I cannot believe that the first day of spring is only three days away! I am currently staring out the window at the magnificent sunshine and I am feeling inspired by nature.

As we move into the time of brighter days, blooming flowers, and greener grass let us imitate the spring by choosing colours that mirror the great outdoors. This colour would be great to incorporate into an outdoor wedding, whether it be in your bridesmaids dress, in your bouquet or even just on your invitations! This colour really helps to enrich and brighten up your day! I know I will be rocking this colour a lot this spring! Wave goodbye to those winter blues, and say hello to springtime!

Editors Picks: Peachy Keen

In today's editors picks, Ainsley was feeling peachy with this warm palette. Check out some of her favourite picks from Pinterest this week!

From Ainsley:
This week is going to be peachy keen! I am venue scouting for clients and for The Refinery Magazine, which is taking me outdoors and into the wild wild world of hotels, halls, parks and gardens. What better way to stand out in a sometimes cold late winter environment? Wear some warm peachy colours with accents of navy's, blues or creams!

Nothing looks better at a wedding than soft neutrals, and peach is a warm colour that can be accented with a wide variety of colours: from Purples to Yellows, Turquoises to Black. Last but not least, who doesn't love a sweet and peach filled tart for dessert? Would you care for some champagne with that?
