Make it through 'til Spring...
It's hard to believe we are weeks away from Spring - but it is around the corner...we'll get there!
While I always advocate shopping with a plan according to gaps identified in the wardrobe, there is something to be said about a little retail therapy pick me up. This time of year when we are still in the midst of winter weather and dark mornings we might need to treat ourselves to give us a little lift...and help us power through until Spring.
Maybe you are getting tired of your regular rotation of winter clothes - there are some great sales right now, so it might be a good time to add something to combine with your current favourites. Or, maybe it's a good time to play with a bold colour or different silhouette to mix things up a bit. It could be as simple as a beauty product or small accessory.
I've rounded up a few finds here for some inspiration. You can click on the image for product details or to shop on line. Within the notes, I've included a few style tips and trends as well.
Make sure to show yourself a little extra love this month! Lori xo

Indigo has a lovely selection of candles - I love this Canadian line. Sometimes a new scent wafting calmly through the home is all we need to lift our spirits.

If you love cashmere - this is the perfect time of year to pick something up as there are some fabulous sales out there. Nordstrom and the Bay have a wide range of styles and shades (I am loving this bold blue, but there is also a hot pink that is catching my eye.

This is a splurge item and maybe one to put on a wish list or to save up for. My husband got me this Dyson blowdryer last year for my birthday. At first I thought it was over the top for a hair dryer, but this thing is unbelievable. It dries hair in minutes and has easily shaved at least 10 minutes off my morning routine. TIme saved is precious! Also, this is definitely a cost-per-use item. Just wanted to share one of my more luxurious favourites as well!

My friend just treated herself to one and used some of her Sephora $$. Something to have on the radar if you think this could make your life a little easier as well...

Feeling comfort from our innermost layer can be enough to give us some spring in our steps - I LOVE this Canadian brand company. So many comfortable undergarments to choose from. If you have a full chest, you will love not having the underwire while still having the support.

Block heels will continue to be very on trend this year - I love the texture and shade of these (and price). Cute with jeans and can be worn multi-season. Also come in black which would be a classic pair to have in the wardrobe in a modern style with a comfortable heel height.

Sometimes a simple purchase like a new makeup product and give us a little lift. This is my favourite mascara - gives so much volume and curl.

Statement earrings are very on trend and a quick, easy and affordable way to add some interest to an outfit. Great prices and selection at stores like H&M and Zara.

Belts are having a real style comeback - wear over a statement coat, a long blazer or cardigan, to add dimension to a dress - the possibilities are endless. I like the width and print of this one. Leopard is classic, serves as a neutral and continues to be very on trend.

This hand lotion was gifted to me recently and it is divine. You can find it at Kiss and Makeup in West Vancouver, but also available on line. Loving all this skin care line - and I am sensitive. The fragrance of this is heavenly and not too overpowering.

Love this winter white - the weather is still calling for this level of coziness and this one is on sale.

Colour blocking is going to be huge this Spring and this vibrant would pair well with so many other bold hues - cobalt blue, purple, yellow. Or, be more toned done with navy as it makes its own bold statement in colour and shoulder interest (another upcoming trend).

This time of year you could layer a thin turtleneck under this one, but also dress it up for a night out. On sale.

This duster length coat is classic and a wonderful transition piece into Spring. It's on sale at the moment and would serve well over time.

This could be easily dressed up or down and either have light layers beneath or layer pieces over. Love the bold colour. You could even swap in your own belt to take it to the next style level.

This cozy sweatshirt is on sale at Banana - and why not show the world that you are amazing?

This colour will certainly help chase away the wintertime blues...love this oversized bow detail. Bold silhouettes and details are very on trend for Spring, eye catching and feel kind of fashion forward. Fun to have those pieces interspersed in the closet!

Cozy coats have been huge. If you didn't get one this fall/winter may be a good time to scoop one up as the prices have dropped.
