New Years Eve is just a few days away but there is still time to snag something sparkly before the ball drops. I love sequins for the holidays (I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to them!) and like I've mentioned before, tend to invest in at least one piece per year as they will truly last & keep in your closet forever.
I'm a big fan of long sleeved sequin mini dresses, but also love a sequin top to dress up with a skirt (leather would be awesome) or down with some denim or distressed black skinnies.
Today I'm sharing a few ways I've worn sequins over the years, plus sharing a bunch of similar items in case you're looking to get your sparkle on this weekend.

Happy Tuesday and a belated Merry Christmas! I always put up a Christmas post, and we were travelling this year, per usual, so I brought my laptop and it just didn't happen. Between celebrating my Dad's birthday on Christmas eve, then travelling to Marco's family that afternoon and back to Ottawa the next morning, there wasn't a lot of down time.
I wore my new fave sweater for birthday and Christmas festivities on the 24th and I'm not kidding when I say I'm in love with this softie. It's such a chic, yet versatile piece, I'm finding myself reaching for it for day, weekend, and when I've been rushing out to meet up with friends. I'm seriously debating the olive green colour!

Happy Boxing day ladies! I spent the day at the mall shopping and battling the crowds and it was kind of worth it. I did make out with several pieces, but honestly, the sales are so good online, I'd skip the hassle and just shop from the comfort of home.
Also, it's the Nordstrom Half Yearly sale (!!) so I'm sharing all the pieces I've tried on, and while mostly everything I'm sharing is marked down, there are a few that aren't on sale. However, I'm linking them anyway plus to the same or similar items on sale elsewhere so you can snag them.
Finally, I'm sharing a huge round up of all the post-Christmas sales happening around the web at the very bottom of the post, so be sure to scroll through. I'll have a full Weekend Recap up tomorrow, with details from Christmas and more. Hope you're having a great day!

O U T F I T D E T A I L S : CUT OUT BODYSUIT | RED SKIRT -- OLD (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS) | SPARKLY HEELS | CLUTCH / IPAD CASE
We are just a few days away from Christmas so I'm breaking out the red skirt! You girls know I love anything neutral, but this skirt was a purchase I have never regretted for my closet--perfect for festive parties, even New Years Eve!
Do you guys dress up for your holiday dinner? Ours is pretty casual, so you can wear anything you like--I'm usually in some combination of leggings (ahem--eatin' pants) and a pretty top, but could totally show up wearing something dressier and my family wouldn't bat an eyelash.

Happy first day of winter! We are feverishly trying to finish up the Christmas shopping over here and I've spent the last three nights, including tonight, shopping. I'm just about there and hoping I can finish up tomorrow and get all the wrapping done on Friday. If that's not last minute, I don't know what is... actually, I do, but this still feels very last minute for me!
Something I've been getting a few questions about (thank you!) is Vlogmas--where the heck is Vlogmas?! If you're not familiar, it is a December tradition of vlogging everyday. I did it last year, and the year before, and loved it, but it's a ton of work.
After getting super sick for four weeks in the middle of November, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't participate in Vlogmas. I was bummed to have to decide that, but had to put my health first. I don't want to get too negative, but working full time, blogging on the side and filming my life, editing and uploading a video every. single. day. for the month is a lot. Add that on top of the general holiday excitement of hosting parties, going to gatherings, seeing family and trying to check everyone off your list, it will legit take a toll on the bod (case in point: when I got sick during Vlogmas last year).
So all that to say, I had to put Vlogmas on hold this year, and just focus on everything else... and I hope you don't mind, and understand. I've been extra focussed on getting daily content up for you, sharing awesome sales and gift guides, outfits and more. I truly put my heart and soul into this blog and appreciate you girls so much.
That said, I will be continuing to post daily content after Christmas because the sales are going to be huge! I've already been getting a few sneak peeks at what retailers have in store and will share with you all my top picks and what you need to buy.
I'm sharing a little video I made below where I basically share everything I just went over about why I haven't done Vlogmas, but there is also some fun footage of my family's annual tree decorating and how I make my favourite pancakes that you always see in my Weekend Recaps. Hope you are having a great day, and see you tomorrow!
