Hi ladies, sorry for the late recap--I've been fighting an awful cold since mid-last week and I needed to rest up in bed today in hopes that the rest of the week is better.
That said, over a month ago, Marco and I started planning a long-weekend getaway with our friends. Similar to last Summer when we rented a cottage in Fiddler Lake, this time, a ski getaway at a beautiful cottage in Mont. Tremblant. Since I was seriously fighting a nasty cold leading up to it, I made the best of it as I could, but forgo-ed major partying in lieu of sleep while others had way more fun #wompwomp...
The 13 of us stayed at this seven bedroom cottage just outside Tremblant village which was right on the water (and only a five minute drive to the hill). There was a large kitchen, comfortable living room and three bathrooms which was perfect for the large group.

However, over the past few months I've started to notice...
Hi ladies! Sorry for the delay, I was totally under the weather yesterday, hence the late weekend recap post. This past weekend was pretty low key (in comparison to the past couple months) but it was still busy enough but even more so productive (which was so overdue aka cleaning)...
On Friday night I spent several hours cleaning my closet/office room and re-arranged the position of the desk and a few other items (see the full room tour here).
I'm not someone who tends to change things up much once something has found it's place but I'm loving the desk against the wall; there is so much space in the middle of the room it really opens it up. That said, it could just be the fact that I can see the top of my desk for the first time in months that has me feeling so refreshed, ha!
Also, several people (including friends) have asked me about my iPad case/pony-hair clutch which I purchased off Etsy last year when I got my tablet. It was a bit of an investment, but it's handmade, with a leather tassel and lined. I absolutely love it (and it comes in other prints!).
January was damn cold but we made the most of it by skiing every weekend except the last (we got a few mild days in there, by fluke and fortune). I shared my three New Year Resolutions, we went to Tremblant overnight and I shared a uniform of sorts in an outfit post.
I made a lot of two-ingredient pancakes, rocked a fishtail braid several times and again, more snowboarding. My condo is coming along but still won't be ready for a year, I bought a new hat with a real fur pom-pom (super on sale), and shared some of my favourite Christmas gifts (did you see the cell phone case that lights up?! The best for selfies!).
I showed my leg/butt workout routine, had a big dinner with friends (potluck style) and shared my tips on how to style grey denim. I got some new bindings for my board (white, Burton Stiletto, which is the girl version of the Custom--if you're familiar with that kind of thing) and Marco surprised me with a Roxy hoodie (first clothing purchase he's ever bought me).
Finally, finished the month by hosting a surprise engagement party for our friends and doing a little January sale shopping at Zara.

Last weekend a few girlfriends and I threw a surprise engagement party for our friends. From the get go, we knew we wanted it to be nautical with a blue, white and gold colour scheme. It was something we planned for almost two months and we got a really awesome reaction from the bride and groom-to-be!
I wanted to share a few of the things we did, the decor and how it all came together, plus a few DIY's if you'd like to see.
