Hello & welcome to Palm Trees & Pastel!

I decided to start this blog as a way to write about what I want without having any restrictions. I studied journalism in university for one year and hated the lack of freedom to choose my writing topics as well as the length of my articles.

I thought it would be fun to write about everything and anything that interests me, from fashion to reading to traveling. On this blog you will find some of my favourite fashion finds, favourite recipes, book reviews, lifestyle tips, and travel tips/travel guides.

I don’t want this to just be an introductory post, so I decided to start “my first post” by sharing a pair of booties that I found while on a recent trip to Toronto.

These are the Diba Block Heel Booties and can be found here.

The button at the top of the ankle definitely adds an “edge” to the booties, setting them apart from the traditional plain swede booties. They are so versatile, they will go great with a dress and tights, as well as skinny jeans and a “comfy cozy” sweater. Lookout for them in upcoming outfit blog posts.

Thanks for reading & I hope you join me on this blogging journey!
