Although I'm not from Toronto, the ice storm that hit the capital of Ontario--also about four hours away from my city, Ottawa--was quite incredible. It's been over 15 years since we've seen a storm like this and hundreds of thousands went without power for days and sadly, over Christmas.
On the bright side, it makes for some beautiful scenery and photographs and while Marco and I drove back from Kingston on Christmas morning, we stopped along the 401 at a service centre to walk into a wooded picnic area to snap some photos of the aftermath.

Merry Christmas!
Today we travelled from Kingston to Ottawa for a celebration with my family. I'm currently hanging out, waiting for my sister, her husband and my nephew to arrive. We are going to open gifts and then my grandparents are coming over to join us for dinner.
I'm surrounded by treats, wine, and baked goodies. The photo above was taken this morning when we stopped at a service station on our two-hour drive from Kingston. The ice store that hit Toronto and more made for a beautiful backdrop so Marco and I took advantage and snapped some photos with the DSLR.
Hope you're having a great day. I'll be back tomorrow evening with more photos and and stories about my Christmas holidays. Sending love and a big hug to everyone!
In this video I show you how I create my messy French twist I rocked a few weekends ago. It's super easy, takes under five minutes and is great for day 2 or 3 hair.
Hope this is helpful and if you rock this look, tweet/instagram me @acoest1984 and use the hashtag #acofrenchtwist
I'd love to see your take on it!
I have several sequinned items; tops, skirts, dresses, a pair of shorts, but no pants and I could see these babies fitting right in.
I'd pair these with a black blazer and silk cami for work or a party with friends and something sexier like a sleeveless top for a night out with my man. These are definitely flashy but would work so well for NYE and since I'm a pant lover--more so than dresses, usually--these would be the perfect compromise.
Since I'm still down and out with Laryngitis that has been joined by cold symptoms, I thought I would share a few Christmas snaps from around my tiny apartment.
I wasn't going to put up my tree--gasp!--since we are so close to the day and I will not be here, but eventually gave myself a good shake, took 10 minutes and got my baby tree up. Remember when I got this little tree?
To be honest, I've hardly decorated aside from the tree and throwing a sequin top on my mannequin. I haven't had the time to grab all my decor from my parent's basement, bring it back here and decorate. I was going to go into details about my apartment and recent thought, but I'll save that for another day. Cheers!
