If you’re in Toronto and looking for an outing and a little inspiration this weekend, visit the King East Design District to take advantage of a weekend full of unique design experiences. Purchase a passport for $10 and stamp off the various stops you’ll make, from ogling the drool-worthy appliances at Subzero Wolf, to checking out the fresh al fresco furniture at Andrew Richard Designs. Get in-store consultations, take design tours, workshops and more as you explore one of my favourite districts to source in. Bonus: proceeds from the passport’s $10 cost go towards Habitat for Humanity.

The great thing about decor and fashion is that each provides us with comfort. One of the greatest feelings in the world is to be snuggled up with a quirky yet oh-so soft throw pillow at the end of a long day, rivaled only by the sensation of being wrapped in a sublime faux-fur vest.

Each item costs about $40 and your budget only allows you to buy one. Which would you choose?

What makes home feel truly like home other than the wonderful people who inhabit it? If I were forced to answer with only one word I would say, “Coziness.”

It doesn’t get much better than being curling up in the evening and feeling the warmth of a room that comforts and supports. So this week at Style at Home we went searching for boards that remind us of staying cozy at home.

As you may have read in this months issue of Style at Home, I was in a girl’s dream-come-true when I learned that I would be jumping a flight to Scandinavia to visit Sweden. So, last February, I visited the birthplace of a store that is near and dear to my heart – IKEA.

You can imagine my delight when I realized that I would be previewing the launch of my ultimate fave “PS Collection“, and be given the opportunity to sit and talk with some of the designers of PS 2012. Amazing!
