Unlike the weekend before, this past weekend was extremely busy and eventful involving a Christmas luncheon, two birthday celebrations (for one special person) and a full day dedicated to filming my upcoming vlog. Here are some snapshots...
On my way to our work Christmas lunch on Friday.
What I ate: Angus burger with goat cheese & portobello mushrooms (and coleslaw on the side).
Friday night hair prep.
Friday night outfit.
Outfit deets: Joe Fresh dress (old), unknown tights & Aldo booties.
Friday night dinner: Smoked salmon | Fish tacos
Saturday morning we awoke to a crazy snowstorm (it was still green up until then).
Saturday night birthday festivities, hosted by yours truly.
I got a couple bottles of red...
Made ceasar salad with real parmigian & proscuitto instead of bacon.
And cooked filet for dinner with sweet potato mashed, asparagus & sauteed mushrooms.
Happy Birthday MSP!
(Creme brulee-raspberry cheesecake)
...and later on we noshed on a special cheese / meat plate.
Sunday morning french toast (made with left-over multi-grain baguette from the cheese plate above).
I spent Sunday afternoon filming my upcoming vlog (see previous vlogs here).
My sister sent me a pic of my uber adorable niece, Piper, all ready for Christmas.
After filming and hair still done (wearing my extensions).
Trying to get some work done... excuse me miss.

My best friend Sarah (that's us above) has entered us into a contest for us to win a Best Friend trip to Toronto! We were chosen and made the top five and were in first place but have been surpassed!
It takes three seconds to vote (via Facebook) and we are just dying to win this thing. We still need about 50 votes and each person can vote once.
Would you please, please, please VOTE FOR US?
Update: Sadly, Sarah and I came in second place (darn!). Thank you all so much for voting, we really, really appreciated it!
Outfit deets:
* Soia & Kyo jacket.
* Joe Fresh cardigan (thrifted).
* Aldo pumps (old).
* Accessories: Mexx necklace, Spring circle scarf (love this) & random bracelets.
Happy Friday!!
I'm drooling over these Tom Ford 'Anouk' cat-eye sunglasses... sadly they are discontinued. I did find one pair for sale on eBay.
Outfit deets:
* Urban Behaviour jacket (old).
* A.Co Designs top which you have seen with white skinnies, a leopard skirt/circle vest combo & a circle scarf I made, worn as a skirt (a fave outfit post). I made this top myself and love it, definitely in the top 10 from my closet.
* Seduction jeans (old) seen with a belted white top & in a another fave outfit post with over-the-knee boots.
* Aldo wedges which you've seen with burgundy waxed pants, a neon yellow/green sundress this past summer & with pink pants.
* Accessories: Ardene pashmina, F21 Bangle, A.Co Designs bracelet, Good Works leather wrap bracelet & Gucci sunnies.
I'll admit, I took these photos about a month ago and never got to posting them; hence the beautiful fall leaves and colours. We certainly don't have any leaves left on trees anymore and while I was hoping to capture more of the fall colours in outfit posts, it seems by the time I would leave work, it was dark out and I'd missed the opportunity (these were taken on my lunch break one day).
And so, here we are in December, with Christmas quickly approaching and as I look outside it's slowly started to snow, large fluffy flakes that are coming down sparse, but slowly speeding up. Winter is here, despite the mild temperatures we've experienced the past few days. Some people wish for snow, but not me. I'm not a fan of the cold and while I love snow on Christmas, if it melted shortly thereafter and I'd be fine with it.
Speaking of the holidays, does anyone have any Christmas parties to go to? I have my work Christmas luncheon this Friday and a party next Saturday night (which I'm so excited for because it has been years since I've been to a real, night-time Christmas party! Eep!). What is everyone wearing? Dress? Skirt/Top combo? Pants?
