Weekly Roundup + 100th Post!!!!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous Easter! My family and I don't celebrate Easter like we used to when we were kids. We spent the night at the cottage together and ate food, drank beers and had some quality family bonding time. Even though the Easter bunny didn't spoil me this year, I hope he spoiled you!

Here's today's weekly roundup: 

TO EAT

 

Sweet Potato Corn Cakes With Garlic Dipping Sauce. Don't mind if I do!

TO WEAR

This Damsel Off Shoulder Dress by Threadsence is perfect for all the music festivals this summer!

TO LISTEN

I had the opportunity to see fellow Canadian musician Matt Mays live with Metric and a bunch of other wicked bands in Toronto last Friday. He is nothing less than amazing live. If you haven't heard of him, listen to my favourite song Indio provided above and you will turn into a instant fan.

Splurge + Save: Floral Crowns

It's officially spring in Canada! The weather has been absolutely beautiful! 8 Degrees (46 degrees Fahrenheit) is patio weather up here in the north. I'm going up to my cottage today with the family... unfortunately there is no Wi-Fi (my brothers and I don't know how we will survive) but I think we will be able to do it!

Since it's springtime, flowers are blooming and festivals are booming, I thought it would be nice to feature a floral crown Splurge + Save feature! I know floral crowns can be quite expensive but Oh Summer Candy is here to pretty up your little head for less!

Do you wear floral crowns? Do you make your own?

 

I'm Back!

Hi everyone! I hope you didn't miss me too much. As you know I am in a long distance relationship and I had to go three whole months without seeing my wonderful boyfriend Paul. He came to visit me for a week and I wanted to spend as much time as I possibly could with the handsome fellow before he had to leave me again for a month. After this month, I will be moving out to Alberta to be with him! School has also been hectic with final assignments and tests before exam period. I am still pretty busy with school for the next month so I still won't be on regular schedule. I usually post 6-7 times a week but for the next month I will be posting 3-4 times a week. Once I am out of school for the summer I will have plenty of free time to post!! I really missed posting everyday for my blog and I have plenty of ideas for this month! 

Here are a few pictures of my week with Paul:

We're cute

 He's cute

 We like food

 We like music

Overall, we had an amazing week and I can't wait to move out to Alberta again!

PS I will be having a 500 GFC Follower giveaway! Stay tuned!

Frugal Fashion Find Friday: S&M Watch

Happy Friday everyone! I hope everyone is excited for their St. Patrick's Day weekend! I know I am. I am planning on not being sober for the next 48 hours and then finishing a 12 page essay hungover on Monday (wish me luck). Also, my favourite man in the entire world will be visiting me this following week!!! I haven't seen Paul since Christmas it's almost been three months since I've seen that boy! School is going to be hectic for the last two weeks of March so for the next two weeks I will be dedicated to spending time with Paul and writing a thousand essays so unfortunately there will be no new Oh Summer Candy posts until Easter Weekend. I hope you won't miss me too much!

Today's Frugal Fashion Find is the Etsy store owned by Lawrence LI named S & M Watch. Watches usually can get pretty high in price, so when I stumbled upon S & M Watch I knew I had to share it with my favourite frugal females. 

His watches are priced at an average $35 with a huge selection of watches to choose from. From watches with maps, animals, patterns and even sells custom made watches! 

A few of my favourite watches: 

Sport your Canadian pride with a Vintage Map of Canada Watch

If you're a dedicated Oh Summer Candy reader it's no secret that I'm in love with astrology. This 12 Constellations Watch in Rose Gold is perfect for astrology lovers like myself. 

Can't go wrong with an Elegant Deer Watch

Make sure you go check out more watches from S&M Watch.

I'll be back in a few weeks!! Until then..

Ink Love

It's no secret that I'm terrified of needles, so there is a slim to zero chance that I will ever get a tattoo. "Summer the needles are different" yeah.. still not happening. Also I'm a pretty indecisive person I feel if I got a tattoo I would hate it the next day. Even though I don't plan on getting a tattoo that doesn't mean that I don't like them. I do however think a lot of people just get a tattoo to have a tattoo and never put any thought into them, if I like your tattoo you're one of the lucky ones because I'm pretty picky when it comes to body art (especially tribal tattoos.. do not get started on tribal tattoos) Here are some tattoo ideas that I like

Such a neat idea for sister tattoos! 

Constellation tattoo instead of the overused zodiac symbol

Do you have a tattoo? What kind of tattoo would you never get?
