ON THE RUN

Two posts in one week! Two posts in ONE week! How lucky are you? … in fairness to the radio silence … the weather here in Toronto has sucked balls.

Take today for instance … flooding everywhere … luckily this was shot last week and Thursday’s was shot Sunday … see what I did there – tricked you!! 

Things are great over here, my weekends are spent gallivanting with the man friend to-and-from the city. Rudiger is getting his fair share of country in, he is becoming a weekender-country-bum, chasing squirrels and enjoying 2 hour trips to the park. Spoiled brat. I wish my tan was getting as much action as he is.

Since moving into my new place, my need to DIY has taken over – from headboards and home decor to these ex boyfriend jeans; I’m on a serious roll.

SO many of you have asked me about my other pair of boyfriend jeans that I DIYed, so I am happy to tell you my tutorial will be up on AOL’s StyleList later this month. So look out for that. Until then, check out your local Value Village for a pair of loose fitting Levi’s – TRUST me your local thrift store is full of Levi’s … get a pair that fit nice on your hips, everything else is easy from there.

LAY YOUR CARDS OUT

Just call me Martha. I am having so much fun wrapping presents and accidentally getting drunk by my lonesome as I wrap the most beautiful gifts for my family and friends. I have to admit though, like every post this month … I will complain that it is more like a cold autumn here rather than winter. I miss the snow, and will continue to pray for a white christmas! Snow does though, have a ton of down falls … one in particular … I wouldn’t be traipsing around a field in a crinoline skirt in snow, but rather, the tall grass reeds offer such a romantic feel. O Canada, this outfit is for you.

BREATHING UNDERWATER

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.

UP UP UP

Like always, I am all over the place. Spaz.

These last couple of weeks have been intense at work and I have had little time to myself or to breath … between weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and dinosaurs I seem to find little time to do anything for myself.
But that will change, as the holidays are one month away (almost!) and I am dedicating that entire time to my family, man friend and close friends.

In other great news, the man friend and I are planning a trip to Italy for the summer – so if you have some suggestions please let me know! I’ve been before but wasn’t in charge of anything in terms of planning, so this is all new to me! help!

SWEET NOTHING

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 …
