This is a little later than I'd hoped but, hello on Christmas! I'm home after a whirlwind of travel, family, and tons of food (turkey! sweets! wine!).
We spent Christmas Eve afternoon with my parents celebrating my Dad's birthday, from there, I went out of town to spend the evening with Marco's family. Then today, after breakfast with his parents, we headed back to Ottawa to spend the afternoon and evening with my family.
I hope you had a great day and spent time with loved ones yourself, eating delicious food and sharing laughs. It's what the season is all about (and dessert indulgences aren't bad either, ha!).
Merry Christmas!

This top on fleek (haha, have you heard that term yet?). One of my gifts from Sarah for Christmas--couldn't resist pulling it out and wearing it stat. Bonus, it's reversible!
Outfit deets: Zara romper (old, similar here) & The Bay necklace (old)
On Friday night we went to a holiday party--just a get together that was planned only a few days prior, but hey, any reason to celebrate. Since the dress code was 'festive', I threw on this romper I purchased from Zara over two years ago and wore it finally for the first time.

For the past three years, my best friend and I have gotten together to exchange Christmas gifts a few days prior to the holiday. So, I packed up her gift and headed to her place for fajitas, gifts and good ol' one-on-one QT.
Since I've shared our annual tradition before I wanted to share again. Sarah killed it and bought me a top and pair of heels I was coveting, some special ornaments, a candle and a bottle of Essie nail polish. I gifted her with some heels she had been eye-balling (similar here) but yes, clearly she takes the cake (errr, pie) for being best gift giver.

Today I'm sharing my Holiday Lookbook for 2014. I spent a lot of time prepping, filming and editing and can say it's one of my best videos to date!
In this video I show you five very different outfits for the holidays and New Years Eve and where you can buy them. You'll have to watch the video to find out which one is my favourite but it might not be what you'd expect. Hope you enjoy & thank you for watching! xo

Today I'm finally sharing my shoulder workout. Several of you have asked to see what I do when I workout, which is super flattering so thank you! I'm no pro but have been lifting heavy weights for about a year and a half. Prior to that, I was all about classes and cardio but for the first time in my life, lifting weights has shown me that you can change your body through exercise. It's amazing to see little muscle slowly starting to pop (under a little layer of dessert, albeit!) after all the hard work.
I'm no expert, but with the help of my boyfriend, a few friends and various fitness apps and YouTube videos, I've learned quite a bit. I also wanted to show you how you can do this workout without a gym membership but with some simple free weights you could purchase for your home.
Finally, I aim to do five different exercises, for the specified body part, and I aim for three sets of each with 10 reps. Remember, form is most important so if you're losing form, your weight is too heavy. It's better to have great form with a slightly lower weight to build your muscles and avoid injury--as time goes on, you will be able to lift heavier.
