This used to be a really difficult thing for me. To swallow my pride and apologize.
Yuck.
No thanks.
You be the bigger person.
Or, it's not my fault.
However, with some time and a lot of practice, it's become a bit easier. There are definitely times when I don't want to apologize, but ultimately, I try to approach situations being gentle and not getting my back up. I always tell myself to put my pride on the side and make the situation better. An apology goes a long way, and as the age old saying goes, 'Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?'
I thought I would bring back the Let's Chat again, it's been a while and it was always enjoyable reading your responses!

Why does this picture look sepia? It's black and white, I swear... you guys saw it on my Instagram. Hey! What's the big idea?
Hello Wedn... waitaminute...
Rewind.
This week is getting away from me--make it stop. Things have been go go go for several days now and there is no sign of slowing with Christmas quickly approaching (two weeks?! What?!). Speaking of Christmas, who is on top of their shopping? I'm behind the game but after running a few errands tonight, I will be battling the crowds at the mall to put a bigger dent in it. I'm aiming to super organize myself this year--yeah right--and have all my wrapping done by December 22.
Completely do-able, right?
(Yikes)
Hope your day is good, just wanted to check in and say hello!
Friday night Christmas party at my grandparents' senior residence.
Outfit deets: Forever 21 top (old) & vintage clutch.
The food was so good; there were multiple anti-pasta tables and apps being served and the dinner was a roast beef buffet.
Nephew spotting in the background.
Outfit deets: Forever 21 coat & top, Urban Planet pants, Aldo shoes & Mexx fur snood.
The hair from the back. Tutorial?

Saturday was Marco's birthday so his parents came to town and we went out for lunch. Afterwards we had some coffee at the mall and visited before they left.
Saturday night we planned a potluck birthday dinner and Marco requested Epic Fish Tacos. I did as much prep work as I could before heading over to his friend's place, where we were having the intimate dinner party.
Pretty tree.
Outfit deets: Vero Moda top, Dynamite shorts (last year, but first time I've worn them), Sirens necklace & unknown tights.
Most of Marco's friends are big foodies which is a major plus whenever there is a get together. His buddy made Gravad Lax with a dill-mustard drizzle and brought a sparkling wine to go with--um, an appetizer and a wine pairing? Amazing.
Melissa & I.
On Sunday morning I met up with my girlfriends for brunch to celebrate our friend's birthday. We went to the Arrow & Loon, a spot Marco and I frequented in the summertime.
Afterwards, we attended a two-hour cupcake workshop at The Flour Shoppe where we learned how to decorate cupcakes and consumed way too much sugar! Video coming soon.
After the workshop I got home and climbed into bed at 3pm. I ended up passing out for a couple hours; so short on sleep! I spent the evening with Marco, he opened his birthday gifts--finally--and I spent the rest of the evening working.
I put together a slideshow with all the pictures you see above, for fun. I know some people prefer video/my YouTube channel to reading blogs, and vice versa. If you like this type of recap, let me know in the comments below and I might keep doing it.
Hope you had a great weekend!
Hi all, sorry for the radio silence, it seems this time of year is already keeping me insanely busy and exhausted but I wanted to hop on and share my exciting news: I won second place in the Made in Blog awards in the Lifestyle category!
Thank you to everyone who voted for me in the three categories that I was nominated in (Lifestyle, Style & DIY) to put me into all three top tens. From there the judges deliberated and picked me in the top three for Lifestyle! I'm so excited and grateful to have won. I've shared the pic above to show you the prize I will be getting, which is sweet, but in general just happy to be picked.
See you tomorrow!
