We Love Fridays: 10 Pretty Things

Posted by Alexandra C. | Friday July 12, 2013

Hey chicks! What are you up to this weekend? I have a few outings and lunches planned and of course, I love to fill my weekends with some obligatory shopping and DIY'ing!

For inspiration, I scoured the internet for a few pretty picks:

5 Pretty Things To Buy

1. Gold Bumble Bee Bobby Pins (C$19.02): I am in love with these sweet and charming bobby pins. They make a casual updo look more put together.

2. Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil (C$16.00, available August 12, 2013): I've never really jumped on the oil cleansing bandwagon, but I'm hoping to try some out this summer. This cleansing oil from The Body Shop doesn't hit shelves until late summer but it's a decent price point and good opportunity to test the method.

3. Beautiful Bottoms Aqua Short Night Robe (US$182.00): I can't get enough of lounge wear lately. You?

4. Walnut Serving Board Handle (US$98.00): The sleek design and gorgeous dark wood combo would make a great accent piece at any summer picnic!

5. Fresh Rose Face Mask (C$63.00): I love treating my skin to masks to soothe and deep clean, especially in the summer when my skin is more oily.

5 Pretty Things To DIY

(right) I have so many ticket stubs, photos and other miscellaneous knickknacks from trips and outings. I love the idea of these cute travel keepsake boxes.

Have a canvas and sponges? Then you can make this DIY decor project! Get creative with your sponge stamps too.

(right) This Blueberry Chedder Dip would be a great appie for a party and is the perfect blend of savoury and sweet.

What are your plans for the weekend?
