MMM Slouch

I have had my eye on a pair of Maison Martin Margiela booties and the slouch open-toe ankle boots are absolute perfection.  My faves are the tan colour and the black python, and you?

A fave blog friend of mine (Elisharon) teamed up with Alainn Bella and had a fantastic give-away about a month ago.  I was uber shocked when I won, and so excited!  Up for grabs, a sweet white and black striped mini.  When I spoke with Alainn Bella owner, Megan, about the sizing of the skirt, she said it may be a tad short for me, since I'm so tall (5'11).  She generously offered me the opportunity to put the value of the skirt against any other item in her store.  I was so excited because I had my eye on this sweater before the give-away but was trying to 'be good' (aka minimal shopping).  Megan was super sweet and very helpful.  She mailed the sweater out to me within days, despite getting her wisdom teeth out (talk about a trooper!).  I was so excited when the package arrived, I had to wear it immediately.  I know this is something that is going to be getting tons of play this year.  Thank you so much Megan & Sharon.

I have a few magazine subscriptions, but my favourite by far is InStyle.  Each month, they quiz a fave celeb with the same questions.  So for now, we're going to pretend I'm that celebrity and here are my answers...

I kick-start my day with... two pieces of 12-grain toast, smothered with peanut butter and a peppermint tea.

Other daily essentials... my iPhone, lip gloss, and several snacks.

Recent splurge... even though it was two months ago, has to be the Christian Louboutin shoes I bought for my wedding.

Dreaming about... summer (isn't that terrible!?).  I saw the first snowflakes of the season tonight, I'm dreading what's coming.

Beauty indulgence... weekly spray tanning sessions.

Can't stop watching... Dexter.  The fifth season just started and hubs and I love that show.  

Top shop... H&M, although we don't have one in this city, I die for that store.

Working out to...  Zumba classes are my fave - latin-inspired dance class with reggaeton & hip hop?  I'm in.

Signature scent... I like to mix it up, especially with the seasons. Right now it's cK IN 2 U, Burberry Brit & Jessica Simpson Fancy.

You won't find me... bungee jumping.  The thought of that terrifies me.

I heart... my new husband.

I bought this top last week while shopping with my mom.  It was exactly what I was on the hunt for: something loose, flowy, preferably grey (remember, small on-going obsession).  It was amongst some dresses, totally random, I held it up and just knew.  Tried it on, done.  Never saw another one like it.  I purchased it with the ntent of wearing it on weekends... you know, with skinny jeans, leggings, mini skirts.  However, I have been itching to wear it and hadn't yet so when I pulled it out in the morning to try to see if it'd make the cut for work wear, I was skeptical.  However, I managed to pull it off and in one of my current fave colour combos too!  Bonus.
