Friday night late night snack/dinner: pizza with gravy (again) and pulled-pork poutine (oh my).


My new (cheapie) Alfred Sung cat-eye sunglasses (covetting these ones).


Amazing, amazing, amazing (home-made) stuffed lobster & filet dinner with friends on Saturday night.



Semi-formal for our evening on Saturday.
Outfit deets:  Dynamite top, Vero Moda skirt (new!), unknown tights, F21 square bangle, Joe Fresh bangle & necklace.


 Gourmet cupcakes on Saturday night.


Sunday morning breakfast out.


Sunday's outfit.


And while out shopping I came across these babies (at Marshalls) and had to resist a very strong urge not to purchase them (so badass!)... I mean, how many black hi-top sneaks does one girl need?


Sunday night dinner at home.





My heart goes pitter-patter, and then I wipe the drool off my chin. 
You're welcome.

The night before, the tree at my parent's house all lit up and ready.


My sister always insists we get up uber early on Christmas morning 
(confession: I snoozed two more times after this initial alarm).


 Our Christmas breakfast tradition: Mimosas & cinnamon buns (and croissants!).


Stocking time.

 
 New perfume I wanted.


 With my sister's dog, Piper 
(a little blurry, but she was excited about her new ball, and too cute not to include).


Earrings I have been coveting for over a year.


The family Gingerbread House (I didn't help, but took photographs, ha).


My favourite little girl, Peanut.

  After dinner treats (mostly home-made by my mom).

 Opening presents with someone special later on that evening (outfit deets HERE).

I recently teamed up with Firmoo, an online glasses company where you can find hundreds of different types of glasses and your perfect pair (including sunglasses).   

I got to pick out a new pair and the specs I chose are different from any that I own, and that was the point; I wanted to push myself to try something different.  They are a bit  large, dark chocolate plastic frames, and kind of nerdy (which I secretly kind of love). 

They got my prescription right and something I love about these (in comparison to other glasses I have) is that since the lenses are larger, it makes watching movies easier without having to move my head around to ensure I'm seeing through the lenses or nudge them down on my nose (near-sighted peeps will know what I'm talking about it).

What's in it for you?

Firmoo is offering you guys A FREE PAIR OF GLASSES (what!).  The catch?  You pay the shipping (pffft, easy peasy).

Don't need glasses to see?  Why not rock a pair of non-prescription specs (who will know!?) to up your edge-factor/hipster-ness/inner-sex-kitten?

Click on over to Firmoo to claim yours now.

My style (which is no longer available) but this one is similar.
As with the past two years, I've done outfit recaps of the previous year.  The first half of 2012 was not ideal, to say the least, but the second half of this year has been pretty freaking wonderful!  A lot of great things have happened to me (filming a tv show for Xtreme Waterparks, winning the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger gig, traveling to Vegas with my bff, getting asked to be the face of the 2012 Holiday Campaign for Place d'Orleans, traveling to Dominican Republic with great friends, watched my sister get marriednumerous summer nights out with my girls, meeting some new and great people, creating a YouTube channel, and lots of great weekends, to name a few) and I couldn't be more grateful.

Additionally, I'm so grateful for all of you who read, the comments you leave and just the fact that you come here to see what I'm up to and are interested.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  You make blogging more fun, more worthwhile and more enjoyable.

I see 2013 as an even bigger opportunity to grow and be a better person and accomplish mini goals I have in my head and just enjoy life.  I hope you can and do too.

Happy New Year!  To 2013!
