O U T F I T  D E T A I L S  :  SWEATER -- 55% OFF!  |  CHOKER  |  DENIM -- SIZE DOWN A COUPLE FOR A SNUGGER FIT LIKE MINE  |  ALDO OVER THE KNEE BOOTS -- OLD (SIMILAR, SIMILAR)  |  CELINE BAG (BUDGET FRIENDLY)

I have been getting my money's worth out of all my over the knee boots this year--when the roads are dry, it's the perfect time to pull them out for style and warmth (without ruining them in the snow and salt).  That said, now is the perfect time to scoop up a pair because they are all going on sale!

Mine are from a few years ago (seen here in 2014) but because almost all heel and toe shapes are going strong right now, you really can't go wrong in whichever style you choose.  Personally I'm a big fan of the slightly thicker heel and an almond toe.  If you're uncertain on what to choose, I'm linking a bunch of OTK styles I'm loving below, or you could always tweet me a pic and I'd be happy to help out while you're shopping.

HEADPHONES  |  H&M TANK -- OLD (SIMILAR)  |  F21 SPORTS BRA (SIMILAR)  |  LEGGINGS

Hey ladies, how was your weekend?  On Friday night, I hit the gym and then met up with Marco for sushi--again.  We have been all about Uber Eats and take-out for months, and the past three Friday's we've gone out for sushi.  It's been nice to switch things up, because I'm usually pooped by Friday nights!





TGIF!  What does your weekend look like?  We are heading to Toronto for an event to celebrate my Uncle on Saturday night.  Really looking forward to seeing him and the rest of the family, and making some really great memories.

Hope you have a great weekend and here are some fun links from around the web to kick things off....


How to save Instagram photos on a computer.

Love this remix.

Swimwear on my mind--I want something new (like this) for our vacation!

Made me LOL.

Such a great pic of the longest skating rink in the world... right here in Ottawa!


Would you let your partner pick a surprise tattoo for you?

Swoon-worthy trench (but quite a splurge).

Hi ladies!  Hope you're having a great week, we are almost to the weekend!  Marco has been away for work, and I've been taking advantage of the evenings solo to start the new series This is Us.  Have you seen it!?  I binge watched four episodes the first night and am totally hooked.  The twists are insane, but it's also pretty emotional too.  

Tonight, I have a girlfriend coming over to hang and then tomorrow we are practically at the weekend, so yipee!  Today feels like one of those days that is just going right, you know?  Lately, I've been kind of having some down days, and it feels good to have a shift.

Onto the round up, it's been a while since I've done one of these, and I've been trying to incorporate more off-the-cuff posts on IG along with the usual outfits so let's jump in!

O U T F I T  D E T A I L S  :  PARKA FROM ITALY (SIMILARSIMILAR)  |  SHEARLING VEST -- OLD (SIMILAR, SIMILAR)  |  POM HAT -- OLD (SIMILAR)  |  GARAGE STRIPED TOP (SIMILAR)  |  NECKLACE  |  LEGGINGS  |  FLAT OVER THE KNEE BOOTS (SHOULD HAVE SPLURGED FOR THESE INSTEAD)  |  BAG (BUDGET FRIENDLY)

Everybody is talking Spring vibes and I'm over here like... well, still freezing my butt off!  It's still very much winter around these parts, which means no open toes anytime soon, so today a little realness in winter dressing.

Ottawa is known for very cold winters, so if you're coming for a visit between December and March, you need to be prepared.  A warm winter jacket is an absolute must, but layering is key if you're going to be out in the elements for longer than just running to and from the car.  I threw on a shearling vest underneath my jacket for added warmth--when the jacket is worn open, it adds an element of interest and cool layering vibes.  Done up, and it's functional and warm.

Boots are a must, and if you're battling the elements, as much as a I love a good ankle boot, the flat over the knee styles are great for added warmth and tromping around the snowy sidewalks while still looking put together.

Lastly, the accessories--a hat will do wonders to keep the heat locked in (especially if your jacket doesn't have a hood), and the one thing you didn't inside my bag are a good pair of mitts.  I usually got for the knit variety, and have been known to layer two pairs for added warmth.
