This is the first you’ve heard from me about going to Alt Summit next week! I know, kinda crazy but I was lucky enough to win a ticket and had such a great time when I was there in January so I thought let’s do it! It’s the first summer edition of Alt so although…

If you know me this may surprise you a bit but I was incredibly inspired by this beautiful natural palette. I know, I know. The colourholic is inspired by neutrals. There’s a first for everything. But I just fell in love with the subtle colours from this photograph of eggs. I especially love the pop…

STYLE DIY: how to make a dyed ombre tshirt scarf
Ok, so I’ll admit that this DIY project was inspired by St. Patrick’s day but by no means is it exclusive to the holiday. You can rock this scarf at any time. This project is for those of us who have ‘matured’ a bit over the years and don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s day quite the…

{STYLE: accessories for fall}
Don’t let these few days of chilly weather fool you. It’s still fall. You’ll have months to bundle up for winter but now is the time to take advantage of that time when you can get away with a really great sweater & scarf. I go a little crazy for accessories sometimes, especially the new…

{STYLE: in love with keeping warm}
Even if you’re more of a summer person, you can’t deny that one of the best parts of the weather getting cooler is the whole world of outerwear and accessories. Sure flip flops & a sundress is easy but it’s not nearly as fun as a hat, scarf, gloves, knee high socks, leggings and most…
