I'm really excited to share with you guys my fourth video for my Fashion Vlogger gig.  For this one, I'm showing you four very different ways to wear a sequined skirt.

I personally think this is my best video/vlog to date, ever.  I've never shown the full outfits in a video before and doing a talk-over was something new for me.  I also managed to keep this video under four minutes (fourth video, four outfits, four minutes... what the wha!?) which is great because we are all busy.

My favourite outfit is definitely the last one; it's edgy, young and fresh but I am also a fan of number one and two as well.  Ha, so hard to choose.

Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans FB page), the next one will be out mid-December and I'll have some great New Years Eve looks for you.

Friday night mini dinner party:  Fajitas & Coronas

This weekend was really, really relaxing and low key.  It was mainly spent at home, inside, cuddled up in blankets.  Since my weekends are normally busy (or at least busy looking), although I don't have many photos to share, I thought I'd still share what I have just to reaffirm I am normal.  Ha.

 Cuddling (she's not mine, but she sure is cute).


Saturday night ordering in.


Saturday night movies; getting into the Christmas spirit.

Outfit deets:
* Dynamite jacket (old) which you've seen many times, but a favourite outfit post with waxed denim almost two years ago.
* Joe Fresh sweater dress.
* Sirens leggings.
* Bumper booties (old) which you have seen with skinnies, an all grey outfit, and (my favourite) a skirt + leather jacket combo.
* Accessories:  OASAP clutch (c/o), Ardene pashmina & gifted square bangle.

Christmas is quickly approaching (hello, less than a month away!) and I'm becoming frantic.  I need to take a breath.  I have started my shopping, but it feels like there is still so much to do; I haven't even decorated my place yet.  Now I know it's not December yet, but, I always say November 20th is the 'go-ahead' day for all things Christmas, for me at least. 

Last year at this time, my apartment was pretty ugly.  I was using hand-me-down furniture (from the 90's) as we were waiting for our house to sell (and in turn, keeping the house staged).  And in all honesty, I felt a little depressed that I couldn't decorate for the holidays.

Well, I could have decorated.

I just felt it was kind of pointless, considering the furniture and coldness of the place.  Still though, it didn't feel Christmasy and I was happy to spend several days at my parent's place surrounded by a beautiful tree, tiny ornaments, garland-laced railings, festive lights, a fire place, and more.

This year is different though.  My apartment feels like home as I have my furniture and have created a space for myself that feels like myself.  Additionally, there is no longer an eye sore that is my living room (ha!).  Ish.  I am so excited for Christmas that, although I really shouldn't be bringing more stuff into my apartment (it's already quite full), I went to my parent's house a few weeks back and picked up a big chunk of my Christmas decor.  I love decorating with reindeer and trees, and tend towards larger pieces.  The stuff has been sitting in a corner of my dining room, but this week I am determined to decorate.  Let's get this Christmas party started!

Do you decorate for Christmas?  Do you have a theme?


*** I have been listening to a local radio station that plays Christmas music 24/7 now, it makes me so happy.  #thelittlethings


I'm over at Meredith & Gwyneth, The New Yorkie today talking about how I got into blogging, what my biggest shopping splurge was, my favourite DIY's and more.  Come on over!
