December was a very busy month (for everyone!) and my main focus was to be organized for the holidays to avoid unnecessary stress and getting sick. Last year, I got really sick just before the holidays just from getting totally run down and stressing myself out over all there is to do. So, this year, my plan was to start early and be as organized as possible--something that isn't naturally my strong suit.
In December we celebrated Marco's birthday at our place with friends. The next day, we headed to Toronto for a long weekend away to celebrate just the two of us. We stayed downtown at the Sheraton and ate at some great places, did some shopping and enjoyed the city. I shared vlogs of our three days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I tried to get to the gym as much as possible but also tried not to give myself a hard time when I didn't (just with it being such a busy time trying to cook, clean, decorate, buy and wrap gifts and generally hold it altogether). However, I did share my shoulders workout. I got a couple new phone cases for the iPhone 6 (white haired girl & lips), we hosted a Secret Santa evening with 16 friends (cut to the 14 minute mark on this video to see some footage of the party) and I got a almond manicure.
I went snowboarding a couple times, finished wrapping gifts, shared my Holiday Lookbook video, and hosted a turkey dinner for fun. My BFF and I did our annual gift exchange, I went to Marco's Christmas party and picked up some new boots (I switched out the laces for black ones). Lastly, we celebrated our third Christmas together with both our families.

For all my last minute ladies, this one is for you. In honour of New Years Eve, I'm sharing three ways to wear sequin pants to get you out the door fast!
SHOP MY LOOK
Today I'm sharing some of my favourite outfits from 2014 and will also be back with some new years resolutions as well (are you making any?). Additionally, I'll be breaking my annual recap into two: the usual outfits and to come, a recap of things that happened.
It always seems as though we proclaim, 'I can't believe it's the end of the year!' and yet, here we are. Thank you so much for reading along, your support and comments.
Happy New Year!

Sorry for the delay on the weekend snaps, Christmas kind of took over. With that said, it was a great four days off so I've included Friday (Boxing Day) into the mix...
Post-gym shake with a sweet message.
Outfit deets: F21 jacket, Marshalls top, Sirens camo pants, Dynamite scarf & F21 booties.
We did some shopping on the 26th but I didn't purchase anything; dare I say I was shopped out? So much shopping leading up to Christmas (for others and a few for myself!) I was okay with a laid back window shopping day. Marco purchased a few items for himself and we went out to lunch.

Christmas has come and gone but I like to keep the spirit alive by keeping our tree up for a couple more weeks and of course, sharing a few photos.
We had a busy couple days between traveling to see Marco's family on Christmas Eve and coming back to town on Christmas to spend it with mine, but it was great. We opened gifts with his family, exchanged stockings that night between each other and then exchanged our gifts the next day.
I didn't take a ton of photos but we got a few gems including the three trees, dinner and a couple gifts.
