I honestly can’t believe that we’re already in mid-September – it seriously feels like we just started summer!
While Fall is my favourite time of year, I kind of feel like I barely made a dent in my summer wardrobe. (Seriously – my office is so cold that you pretty much dress for winter year-round!) Luckily, it’s still pretty warm here in Ontario so I’m still getting some use out of my summer items, but as you all know Canadian weather is a little unpredictable so that could change any minute.
Raise your hand if you’re ready for Summer!
We are still getting some pretty chilly days here, but for the most part spring has spring and it’s a lot more sunny around here already, which has made me eager for summer. I can’t wait to lounge outside, hit the beach and go on some weekend getaways!
Now of course, with the warmer weather and sunshine coming my way I needed to add a few new seasonal staples to my wardrobe this year: sun hats (I’m obsessed with those typographic straw hats that are all over the internet, you bet I picked one up for myself!), dresses and of course, sunglasses! Optically.ca was kind enough to offer to send some sunnies my way to help get me ready for the season!
First things first – Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday and are enjoying some time with friends, family and furry ones. I really do love this time of year.
We do our Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, play board games and watch the polar express. On Christmas Day we have a huge brunch with fruit salad, coffee cake, eggs, candied orange slices and mimosas! After brunch we do our gift exchange, head to the movies and then we enjoy a relaxed dinner eating leftovers. What are some of your Holiday traditions that you’re enjoying?
I’m sure you’re all aware by now that fall is my favourite time of year. (Exhibit A, B and C.) One of the many reasons why I love fall so much is the weather + fashion. Personally, I don’t do well in extreme cold/heat and I *love* dressing in layers – fall weather is just perfect for this! I find that I have more freedom with my outfit choices in the fall; I can wear layers without having to worry about bundling up or being too hot, it’s still warm enough to wear skirts and tights and it’s sweater weather!
The only problem is however that my bank account kind of gets a little abused in fall… (Does anyone else have this problem?!) Since it’s my favourite time of the year for fashion I just can’t help myself when it comes to shopping the new collections and trends! My bad.
