H&M Home is Coming to Toronto!!!

hm-home-canada-toronto-spring-2016 (2)
First Second Canadian H&M Home store is opening in Toronto’s Eaton Centre this month, and I am super excited about this! I am completely obsessed with the current H&M Home collection, and ended up buying a few pieces in New York, while attending NYFW. Since I was travelling with a carry-on, I couldn’t buy everything I wanted, but once the Toronto store opens its doors on February 25th, I’ll be stocking up on affordable bedding sets, cat towels, adorable pineapple dishes, and so much more! I hope and pray that we’ll get a wide selection of products, and chances are that we will. The new and improved flagship store is going to be one of the largest H&M stores in the world (at 58,000 square feet) and will carry every H&M collection you’ve ever dreamed of. Next up, online shopping?!

UPDATED: Thanks to our reader Alex for pointing out that the West Edmonton Mall location was the first Canadian H&M Home location. We are so used to Toronto getting everything first, that we completely forgot about the Edmonton location.

Canon Blogtography: Memories

canon-blogtography-framed-photos

Over the holidays, once our power and Internet connection were restored, I became a woman on a mission. Back in December, the lovely Canon team set me up with two kick-ass printers – Canon Pixma Pro-100 and Canon Selphy CP900, and I was determined to finally do some printing. You see, I’ve been married for over a year now, but we have yet to print a single wedding photo. Armed with amazing printers, I was finally ready to move the memories from those memory cards and into picture frames.

What happened next was pretty overwhelming. As someone who tends to take thousands of photos each year, I found myself going through the happy snaps, remembering the fun moments, and having a tough time narrowing down the print-worthy shots – so many of my Canon pics were just too good not to print!

In the end, I chose a few faves, printed them out, and proudly arranged them on our new shelves. It’s definitely work in progress, but I feel so much better about having some of my favourite moments printed out and on display in our home. Being able to print the photos almost as soon as they are taken will also help me avoid being overwhelmed next time around. No more memory-card-hoarding for this girl, thanks to Canon!

So tell me, do you print your photos, or do you tend to hold on to them in memory-card form? Share in the comments!

Homesense Spring 2012 Preview

If you follow Style Blog on Facebook then you probably have seen a few of these photos before…I was simply too excited to hold back after attending the HomeSense Spring 2012 Preview. Well, now that I had a couple of weeks to process it…I am still excited.

Here’s the thing. Le bf and I are engaged, and living together. And though his condo is definitely not a bare bachelor pad, I still feel the need to add some pieces that are more me. And that’s where HomeSense comes in.

I’ve been stopping by their Yonge St location weekly, buying things for our home, from cookware, to accessories, and always eyeing their furniture. If you’ve ever shopped at HomeSense, you know how affordable it is! But here’s where I run into a problem…my tiny downtown HomeSense doesn’t have a huge selection of furniture…and after previewing their spring offerings, I need to get my butt to one of their larger locations stat. Dibs on the armchair above, orange table below, blue embroidered lounger, and that fun printed loveseat. Yeah, I get it…they don’t all go together, but I love them nonetheless…and will find a way to make it work.

So tell me, which HomeSense location is your favorite? Have you seen that grey armchair in a store near you? Don’t be selfish, share your tips!
