Outfit deets:
* Vero Moda blazer (new!) that I picked up on Boxing Day.
* Serrani Italy dress from The Bay which you've seen in my What to Wear to a Wedding video last Spring.

We are having a serious warm snap--is that even a term?--right now so taking these photos outdoors wasn't completely unbearable, hooray for that.  The wind on the other hand?  It had a mind of its own.

I don't have too much planned for this week, I'm trying to leave it open in case there are last minute things to tend to for the baby shower I've planned for this weekend.  I want to share with you all so badly what I have up my sleeve but it will have to wait until afterwards as my bestie reads my blog and we're not in the business of spoilin' surprises up in here.

Happy Tuesday!

On Friday night I stopped by my sister's place to visit my nephew--ahhh, those cheeks.


 
Then it was over to my parents house for (home-made) pizza night.  We used to have these every Friday when I was in high-school but bonus, I didn't have to grate the cheese this time.


Peanut having a rest in my Dad's arms


My shoes came in from Asos, a Christmas gift from my parents (I really love the silver ones, too).


After the gym on Saturday morning, I spent the afternoon prepping for the baby shower I'm throwing for Sarah next weekend.  I had a friend come over and later she did my hair--even though I ended up staying in; who doesn't like having their hair played with, right?


Gloomy, rainy January.  I'll take this over the -40C temps we had earlier this week.


After seeing a picture of potato wedges on Pinterest on Saturday night around 10pm, I decided to try my hand at them--because I needed to be eating that so late.  I used this recipe but swapped in sweet potatoes out of preference.  They turned out so good and I'm slightly ashamed to say I ate the entire batch.


Sunday morning post-gym sesh.
Outfit deets:  Old Navy tank & Ardene shorts.


Sunday afternoon outfit.
Outfit deets:  Dynamite leather jacket, La Senza tee, Sirens pants & Aldo boots (read about how I had the wedges on these shortened HERE).


Home cooking on Sunday night and multiple episodes of Breaking Bad--I'm hooked!


This is a little later than I expected but here she is--a sneak peak at some of my favourite Christmas gifts.

What you didn't see: a few gift cards, iPhone case, jewellery, body lotion, candles, cashews.

Follow me on Twitter & Instagram to keep up with me on in real time.  As always, thanks for watching!

MY CHRISTMAS

Christmas Recap (on my blog)   


I used to do a ton of shoe shopping, inexpensive pairs, several at a time.  Lately though, I've been more thoughtful about the shoes I buy and often go for a little higher end.

That said, I have blown all that out of the water with these four pairs I recently picked up from my old stomping grounds, GoJane.  I will list all the names and links to the shoes below so you can grab them for yourself if you wish.

Also, do you guys prefer to see the shoes like this or actually on my feet?  Is there a preference?  Happy shopping.


From top:
Yellow oversized buckle wedge  |  so similar to my Louboutins, with the addition of the Gucci-like buckle, I'm in heaven over these. 
Black oversized buckle wedge
Black pointy cuffed up heel  |  a knock-off of the Zara ones I purchased and returned several months ago.  These are actually easier to walk in, but the ankle detail isn't as nice.
Teal snake it up ankle strap heel  |  I can't get enough of ankle straps.  Hoping to take these on vacation with me if I go somewhere warm.


It's a new year and with that come along a surplus of people creating resolutions; attainable or not, it happens.  I'm a big believe in attainable, smaller, resolutions--something you won't give up on five days in.  

For me, it helps to be precise in my resolution, versus something too vague or abstract.  For example, instead of saying I want to be organized this year, I would make a plan to be more organized like, I will only let clothes sit on the floor of my bedroom for maximum three days before cleaning it up, and I will open my mail immediately and action it instead of letting it sit on my kitchen counter.

I shared my resolutions with you so Let's Chat today about yours.

1.  Did you make any resolutions?
2. What are they?
3.  How will you attain it?
