Old Navy & Forever 21 are killing it with their affordable colour blocking tops out for Spring. I couldn't decide which colour combo I liked best so I bought both (from F21).
Clockwise from top left:
1. Old Navy colour-blocked charmeuse dress
2. Forever 21 colour block woven tank

4. Old Navy colour-blocked button-tab top
I took a quick trip to Toronto this past weekend for a family member's surprise 50th birthday party. I drove there with my family on Saturday and came home Sunday (about a four hour drive). A great bonus was since we were heading south, when we left for Toronto, it was about -11C and we had about a foot of snow. The closer we got to TO, the warmer it got and the more snow disappeared. By the time we arrived, it was above zero degrees and there wasn't a trace of snow (love that).
The party was held at a small pub and tons of people showed up. The birthday boy was uber surprised and I got to catch up with family I haven't seen in quite some time. While I'm not a huge fan of road trips (at all), it was so nice we were able to be there for the birthday and you could tell they were so happy we made the trip.

This weekend I'm heading out of a town for a birthday celebration, but not before checking out a movie tonight and spending some good time relaxing. It's been semi-good to get back to work this week (mind you, I do miss sleeping in) as far as the routine goes, but I'm still happy the weekend is here! Have a wonderful weekend!
The Christmas holidays for me this year included lots of family, sleeping in every day, far too much food and plenty of good times. I'd love to share with you some highlights of my 10 days off...
I kicked off my holidays right by staying in and ordering Indian take-out. The butter chicken wasn't the best, but that fact that I didn't have to venture out was a big plus.
The following morning, Christmas Eve, my sister and I hosted a birthday brunch for our Dad at her place. We made breakfast burritos (the birthday boy's request) and roasted potatoes and served vanilla and chocolate cake for dessert.
My sister and her fiance recently got a new puppy and named her Piper. Needless to say, I'm an obsessed Auntie.
That night, my sister and I headed over to our parent's place (tradition) where my mom had a massive spread of treats and goodies (I brought those ginger cookies I love). We pigged out and had a great time before all heading off to bed around midnight.
On Christmas morning, we awoke to a continuous snowfall (so pretty). We raced into the living room to see what Santa brought us (and Santa didn't disappoint!).
After we open our stockings, we always have breakfast before moving onto the presents. My mom made the (Pillsbury) cinnamon buns and croissants that my sister brought and I made everyone Mimosas.
We spent the rest of day lazing around, playing with our new gifts (yes, that is my new Michael Kors watch - a gift from my parents! Eep! So excited!) and of course prepping dinner.
For Christmas dinner we had turkey, stuffing, mashed carrots/turnip, sweedish potatoes, corn, peas, tomato aspec & broccoli salad. It's my favourite meal. Ever. Much later in the night, after my grandparents had left, my Dad broke out his mad bartending skills and made us all ceasers.
In the days that followed Christmas, the weather got worse and we were dumped with a lot more snow (but it was quite pretty).
I met up a with an out of town friend at a new-ish Italian place and we both enjoyed the manicotti. Afterwards, I did a little shopping and picked up the off-white top from Old Navy (among other things). A couple days later I attempted to make bite-sized baked brie (but they didn't exactly turn out great).
For NYE I headed up to cottage country where there was lots of relaxing (by the fire reading my newested borrowed book), card and board games were played, curried shrimp poutine was eaten, and the scenery was beautiful.
Overall it was a great Christmas and so nice to have an extended vacation. Hope your Christmas was as wonderful!
