Good morning ladies!  Happy Monday & post Christmas week!

I wanted to do a round up of Christmas in this edition of the Weekend Recap since it all kind of bled together.  We had three wonderful days off, that were busy and relaxing so onto the snaps.

Christmas Eve is my Dad's birthday, and I shared this photo on Instagram...


It's the biggest shopping day of the year in Canada today: Boxing Day! 

Are you shopping today?  I am, but instead of braving the malls like I used to do, I'm doing it from the comfort of home online.  If you're in the mood to do the same, I've rounded up a few happening deals below...


Aldo  |  20% off new arrivals, use code XOALDO.  Also, 50% off original, reduced styles (no code).  Love these, have these & want these.


Aritzia  |  Up to 50% off, no code.  Love this cape/cardigan, such a pretty sweater & want this one.




Nordstrom  |  Half-yearly sale, save up to 50% (I will do a separate post dedicated to this).  Have something very similar to this faux leather blazer and wear it all the time, Hunter Boots on sale (this never happens!) & got this for my bestie's birthday.

Steve Madden  |  25% off + free shipping, use code BOXING.  Love the fringe detail on these,  Isabel Marant dupe (perfect for cold winters) & bought these last year.

White Fox Boutique  |  20% off, use code BOXING20.  Love this sweater & this crop top.

Yves Rocher  |  50% off everything + $10 off and free shipping on orders of $60 or more.  Swear by this eye cream, love this night cream (have been using it since our trip to Italy) & this body oil smells so good!



DRESS -- SOLD OUT (SIMILAR)  |  HEELS - OLD (SIMILAR)  |  SEQUIN PURSE

Merry Christmas ladies!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day.  We went out of town yesterday to spend the evening with Marco's family and then came back today to spend the afternoon and evening with my family.  We just finished opening some gifts and are now anxiously awaiting turkey dinner--my favourite meal!

Hope you are able to spend the day with some people you love and getting to eat some of your yummy favourites.  We have been getting into the Christmas spirit with tons of treats and family time.  As an added bonus, it's 10 degrees Celsius and a green Christmas; normally we have at least a foot of snow!  Not going to lie, I'm kind of loving the mild weather, although I know some are missing that white Christmas.

Thanks for always reading and sending warm holiday wishes to all of you.

Cheers! xo


Friday, golden hour.  The sun is setting behind me, but it reflects off the buildings that we can see from the condo and casts the most gorgeous light.

Last week I was sick, and to be honest, I'm still fighting a terrible cold.  The holiday season is something I love and get so excited for, but I definitely tend to bite off more than I can chew.  Between social gatherings, hosting, shopping, Vlogmas, regular work, blogging and this year my condo closing,  it's a lot, and my body is saying, slow down.

That said, I'm definitely feeling better, but it's still lingering.  I tried not to do too much this weekend, but after laying in bed for three days, I was feeling pretty anxious to get out and be productive.



On Friday night, Marco surprised me by coming home with Indian take-out.  We had tickets to see Star Wars and a birthday party to attend and I stayed home while he went out.  


The Holiday season is upon us and I can't believe we're only a week out from Christmas!

Today I'm sharing my Holiday Lookbook video--my favourite video to put together each year!  If you follow me on Facebook, you've already seen this but love to share it here as well.  I've put together six, different outfits that will take you from holiday party, to Christmas dinner all the way through to New Years Eve and the countdown!

Hope you enjoy & as always, thanks for watching!
