Weekend Recap

Friends!  So, how was your weekend? Did you get up to much?  The kids didn't have school on Friday, so we had a long weekend, which is always nice.

Thought I'd do a little weekend recap with the help of instagram!

Here we go....

We woke up to a good amount of snow on Saturday, it was a nice treat!

The kids and I decided to make some delicious sugar cookies on Saturday.  It was pretty darn messy, but so much fun!  I couldn't find the recipe that I normally use, so I gave this one from Allrecipes a try, they are good!

And the weekend wouldn't be complete with a little holiday movie watching now would it?  This is by far one of my fav holiday movies, I absolutely love it and this is definitely one of my favourite scenes!  Can you guess the movie?

Cheers,

Behind the Scenes

I wouldn't be surprised if I'm the only one who hasn't already seen this video since it has over 800,000 views...but incase you haven't seen it either I wanted to share it with you.

It's about the unbelievably talented Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist.  I really enjoyed watching it and getting the "behind the scenes glimpse" of how he works, hope you enjoy it too!

Cheers,

Brilliant!

Found this brilliant idea on pinterest and wanted to share with you lovelies!

Every anniversary, take a picture of yourself holding the picture from the year before.

Seriously, brilliant isn't it?!

DIY Houndstooth Heels

Definitely worth checking out!

Can you believe that there is less than 5 weeks until Christmas? Yes, it's true....let's all freak out for a minute (or two), okay?

Cheers,

Red!

I am now the proud owner of a new pair of amazingly gorgeous red patent leather heels. Oh my word, I didn't realize I would love them this much.

My Christmas party outfit is nearly complete, I now am on the hunt for the perfect clutch.  The shoes arrived at my doorstep yesterday and I quickly tore into the box.  They didn't have any shoes in the store I went to, so I had to order them in.  I was worried that they wouldn't be the right shade of red, but all my worries were out the window the minute I saw the shoes.

Take a peek:

aldo - moos in red

Aren't they lovely?

A few of you lovelies guessed the dress that I have chosen.  I'm so glad I bought it when I did because it is now "temporarily unavailable" online.  Phew, that would have been bad!

Here is the dress I'll be wearing:

I'm beyond excited to get all dressed up.  Christmas parties are always so much fun and I'm sure this year will not dissapoint.

I hope you are all enjoying a lovely weekend.

Found

I'm pretty sure that I've found "the" dress that I want to wear to my husbands work Christmas party,  I'm totally in love with it.  It is one of the dresses that I posted here, but I won't tell you which one just yet, I'll keep you guessing.

I'm now thinking of what type of shoe to wear, I'm leaning towards a red patent leather pump, but we'll see.  There are so many lovely options out there right now and I don't mind trying on a few pairs.  Ahhhh, shoe shopping, so fun!

That being said, there's something about a fabulous red shoe paired with a gorgeous black dress.....

So, have you begun your holiday shopping?  We had our first snowfall the other night, it's beginning to look at lot like Christmas out there!

I love the holiday season and all that it brings.  Cozy nights, festive movies and delicious treats.  Truly a wonderful time of year.

Will you be making many gifts this year? Do you plan to do some of your shopping on Etsy (I hope so!).  I'll be doing a bit of both!  I've already made a few purchases on Etsy and have a list of items I need to make.  Best get to work!

Cheers,

Dressy Dress

It's that time of year again...time for holiday parties!  I love any opportunity to dress up all fancy, so I'm very much looking forward to going to my husbands work party.

I usually do a little browsing online to see what's out there prior to going to the shops and this year is no different.  I thought I'd share a few of my finds with you!

Fun, right?!  Yes!

Move Over!

Well, was that a quick month or what?!  Hello and goodbye October, my oh my!

I apologize for the lack of posts this past week, it's been a busy one.  How are you all doing? Did you enjoy a fun Halloween?  We had a blast! I absolutely love getting the kids all ready to go out trick or treating with Dad and then staying home to hand out candy....that's our ritual.  It's such a treat to see all of the kids all dressed up and enjoying going door to door and then welcoming our trio back home and going through all that they kindly received!

Here are a few pictures from Halloween at our place.

And well, I have to admit that I'm totally excited that it's now November.  November is the official kick off to the Christmas season here at our house, so why not begin by hanging the wreath on the front door?!  Ahhh, yes.

Don't forget that you can pick up some unique and festive holiday notecard sets as well as gift tags in the shop!

Cheers,
