Can you tell it’s snowing in these photos? … (look again) … yah. I wasn’t prepared. I went for brunch on Sunday with zee friends and out of nowhere (not really, I live in Canada and it’s January) it started to effing snow.
I repeat. Not. Prepared.
Either way, here I am, wearing a pair of $2 jeans my mum bought at a charity auction. I had an impulse two weeks ago for a DIY and was dying for a pair of boyfriend jeans … but being a girl who doesn’t wear jeans often – correction – three times a year – I found it sort of pointless to purchase. So I rummaged through my closet, found a hideous pair of baggy jeans and voila! I think I should do a DIY video for these … as they turned out exactly like I wanted them to.
Work is cray (man friend says Craig), and although I feel I am being bombarded with emails I honestly do find setting simple goals throughout the day helpful and encouraging. My 2013 dreams list is already panning out, two things on my list are in the works and are being concocted (haha cocted –) and I am trying to take things in stride instead of stressing over things I cannot control. One of them, as mentioned before – is to blog more … YAY two posts for 2013!
I hope your year is off to a great start, January is coming to a close and that just leaves four more months until flip-flops and lip gloss!

With only two more weeks until Christmas I can’t help but squeal every time I hear a Christmas song! Christmas truly is a magical time of year, and this year, it seems to be contagious. For the first time, in a couple of years, everybody seems to be in the holiday spirit despite the lack of snow around … but you know me, I’ll still be dreaming of a white Christmas.
My favorite thing about the holidays is spending time with my family and friends! This year will be a year of new adventures, I am headed to my grandparents to bake and have a sleep over, my man friends parents bought a place at the foot of the biggest ski and snowboard destination north of Toronto and I will be spending some of my holidays on the slopes along with cozy nights by the fire. There is no cable so board games and old movies are definitely on the agenda! The man friend coaches hockey and has entered into a tournament the last weekend of December, but has sworn it will be a blast and has booked us a suite to have a little getaway! Mostly though, I am just thrilled to be spending a consecutive week with my best friend, as we haven’t done that since June (gasp!)
To You & Yours. Happy Christmas.

I blogged twice this week!!!! yippy!!! AND this week is probably one of my busiest of the year – so I have NO idea how I pulled it off, thanks Manfriend for taking these shots … (usually I take my own).
With World MasterCard Fashion Week aka Toronto Fashion Week coming to a close, you’d think I would be as calm as a cucumber … but alas, after this week it is straight into holiday season for this girl, with corporate events and Bloggers Night Out brewing … you never really know which continent I’ll be on, but something tells me this winter I wont be flocking south … so please stay tuned for that!
Life is finally settling down (physically!) I’ve had some crazy health scares and issues in the last four weeks, (which I will share soon – I promise!), one of my best friends got married and I got to be the best maid of honour ever (her words – not mine!), my Manfriend is bomb, always – and life just seems to be piecing together quite nicely.
I hope things are settling for you before the holidays come rushing in – my words of advice? stop to smell those damn roses, even if they are an over played flower.
And yes …. I am aware my hat says Cock … clearly I take myself super seriously …
