January was a great month (despite the frigid temps) and I thought since it's a new year, I would start a new monthly recap at the end of each month; a look back of sorts.
This month I blogged about the year 2012, got my first gel manicure and hung some art in my apartment (finally, and with the help of someone special).
I DIY'ed a cute sweatshirt, bought some leopard-print ankle booties and got more comfortable with my 'nerd' glasses. I replaced the second-hand black curtains (that were on lend from my bestie) in my room to metallic silver and frolicked in the snow (correction: stood in the snow and had my picture taken).
I attended an amazing surf 'n turf dinner (we made a video HERE), ate breakfast at Broadways every weekend and painted my nails a pretty pink. I wore polka dot pants, re-pierced my third hole, wore a sparkly skirt and shopped the Zara semi-annual sale. I also picked up a sweet pair of red kicks to take me into Spring.
Post a Comment
After such positive and great feedback on last week's discussion (thank you!), I've decided to post these on Wednesday's and call them our, Let's Chat posts. Please chime in within the comments below, I love hearing from you all, and it's fun to interact.
When I was single, I went on several dates and remember one date asking me if I ever kissed on the first date. What a surprising question and one I had to think about it. The answer was no, since being re-single, but not because I think it's bad. In fact, I don't think there is anything wrong with a kiss on the first date, but for me, up until that point, I guess I never felt comfortable with most dates or ready for that step.

Kissing can be so intimate, or it can be so impersonal. I remember not having any reservations about it when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I totally shy away from the idea, as if it's something I reserve for a few dates in.
What about you, do you kiss on the first date? Or did you?
Other Let's Chat posts you may have missed:
* Do you wash your clothes before you wear them?
I've been semi-on the hunt for a black watch (I have a cheapie one, but never wear it because I don't love it and haven't gotten the band sized) and this one has been swooning. There are a few different styles of The Time Teller, but this one with the gold clasp and features steals my heart. So. Nice.
Outfit deets:
* American Eagle cardigan which you've seen with white pants in the summer and with a khaki skirt and my neon Louboutins.
* Urban Planet peplum top that I scored during the shop-off that won me the title of PDO Fashion Vlogger (you can also see it in my Fall Fashion vlog).
* H&M pants (old).
* Ardene cap-toe flats (I'm clearly having a cap-toe-moment). See cap-toe my DIY HERE.
* Accessories: Suzy necklace, Dollarama ring & Auslini bangle.
How is everyone's week shaping up? We got dumped with a ton of snow yesterday (which was really pretty, but terrible for driving) and I spent the evening indoors just having a me night.
I know I've been keeping you semi-updated on the car sitch, so here's where I'm at: I've found a car that I like and am going through all the hoops to figure out if it's 'the one'. My car is for sale and I've shown it a few times, I've even gotten an offer but decided I wanted to get a little more than they were offering.
Buying and selling a car is time consuming and stressing me out (ha), but, that's probably why it's taken me so long to get even this far. That said, I won't say much more as I don't want to jinx anything or get all excited for nothing. There is much more to do before anything is (if and when) finalized, so yes. That is that thus far.
Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the second discussion day in our little series (btw, what should I name this series?). Read last week's topic HERE.
On Friday night there was a rib feast at a friend's house, which was awesome.
I brought cornbread from Montana's.
I know I tweeted that I might make a video like last time, but it was much lower key and while I started filming,I didn't end up finishing it, so, no video this time.
On Saturday morning I showed my car (which is for sale) and then did some shopping. That evening we celebrated my Grammy's 85th birthday (which I have no photos to show for).
Outfit deets: Smart Set cardigan, Stitches lace tank, Zara pants (new!), Spring hidden wedge boots & vintage necklace.
Playing with this cutie (she's not mine).
Sunday morning (habitual) breakfast.
"New" shades.
On Sunday afternoon, I went to look at a car I'm considering buying and the BFF always sends me the sweetest texts I had to take a screen shot (really hoping operation-buy-a-car works out this time!).
Afterwards, I did a little shopping for my next PDO vlog.
Outfit deets: Dynamite sweater, Pepe jeans & Spring boots (I practically live in these on weekends).
Purchases!
An amazing Sunday dinner: pulled pork sandwiches with home-made beans (which were soaked, slow cooked and more, plus there's real bacon in them).
A sneak peak at my new shoes.
And in case you missed it, my most recent haul video.
