Friends!  How are you?  I hope the holidays have been treating you well!  We have been enjoying a lovely holiday thus far.  Lots of relaxing and taking the days as they come.  It's absolutely wonderful to have no agenda and to be able to truly relax with our entire gang together.

Do you have any big plans for NYE?  We will be hanging out here at home and I'm excited that we can have a bbq thanks to the somewhat warm temps.  We did get a good amount of snow the other day, so the ground is now covered in a blanket of the white stuff, but it's not too chilly.  I love a fresh layer of snow!  Can't wait to go tobogganing!

This year was absolutely amazing.  I'm thankful for all of the opportunities that came my way and for the friendships I made.  I have to say that I'm really looking forward to the New Year.  I have some projects to finish and new ones to start.  Bring on 2016!

I also wanted to take a minute to thank you.  Thank you for reading and following along.  It means the world to me that you take the time to keep up to date on what's happening here at Elliven Studio.

Happy New Years, friends!  Make it a good one!

Cheers,

Cozy Walks

These warm unseasonal like temps are pretty amazing, but I have to admit that I would love a good dump of snow to fall for Christmas day!

This comfy look was just that, super comfy for our latest trek through the forest.  I can't even begin to tell you how cozy this cowl from Talbots is and the quilted vest from Old Navy is perfect for these warmer temps as it's not too thick.

I'm off to pick up some last minute groceries!  So excited to enjoy the holidays!

Cheers,

I certainly love knits during the winter season.  I typically purchase them in neutral colours, which allows me to add colourful accessories or shoes.

This clutch from Talbots is a beauty! I love the fabric and the size and the gold zipper is a stunning added touch!

I have some last minute errands to run today, the countdown is on!  So exciting!

Have a fantastic Monday!

Cable-knit Cardigans & Red Toques

Did you guys catch my Gifts for Her post?  If so, then you know that I've been secretly wanting a cable-knit cardigan for some time now.  Well, Gap had a lovely sale and the exact style of cardigan that I've been looking for, so I bit the bullet and placed an order!

We trekked down to the river for an afternoon walk this past weekend, and the cardigan was perfect!  I paired with this infinity plaid scarf and red toque.  I've had my eye on this red toque from Chapters for a while now.  I love how it adds a fun (and festive) pop of colour to outfits!

Have a wonderful Monday!

Holiday Gift Guide For Her!

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/ 10/

Oh you know, just a few of my favourite things right now!  I thought I'd share a few items that have caught my eye and a couple of things that I currently have and absolutely love!

1.  This Leah Alexandra ring is absolutely everything!  I've been wearing every day and have received so many compliments.  It's not only adjustable, but can easily be paired with other rings for a beautiful stacked combo.

2. I've been coveting tassel necklaces for some time now, they seem to go so perfectly with almost any outfit.  This piece from Olive + Piper looks like a winner!

3. I just recently picked up these half mitts from Old Navy and love how they keep my hands warm, but my fingers are free.  Also, the colour combo is spot on!

4. You will find me wearing a cardigan 99.999% of the time when I'm in the house.  I just ordered this  honeycomb fabulousness from Gap after being jealous of the one that my husband has from Banana Republic for far too long.  Can't wait to get my hands on it!

5. It's time to ramp up your skin care routine for the cold and dry winter months.  The Olay Total Effect Holiday Gift Set has definitely caught my eye!

6.  There's no doubt that over-the-knee boots are in right now and I totally want to jump aboard the wagon! ha!  These Dyna boots from ALDO have been in my online cart for the past little while.  I'm thinking "yes".

7. Up your wrist game with this stunner from BRAVE Leather.  I adore the pendant and it's officially on my wishlist.

8.  It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Poppy Barley.  Love their products and the entire team behind the fabulous brand.  This wristlet!  #getintomycart!

9.  One word: cashmere.  That is all.  Roots, you've done good.

10.  I can't say enough about this Anna With Love Photography print pack.  I've included a few of the photos in the gallery wall in our basement. I love that they add a touch a of colour and wanderlust to your space!

So, if you were wondering what was on my mind lately, you now know!  What are you hoping to find under the tree?

Have a lovely day, friends!

Cheers,

Holiday Cheer!

Hello, December!  Here at our house, it's time to start packing up some Christmas parcels to ship to family and friends who don't live nearby.  We love to add a few extras to each parcel and chocolate is most definitely always on the shopping list!

I think it's safe to say that that the holidays and Ferrero Rocher go hand in hand!  Beautiful packaged and absolutely delicious make these chocolate treats a go-to for this family!

I'm still finding it hard to believe that December is here!  We picked up our tree last week and it's all decked out.  I still have some more festive touches to add to the house, but we're almost there!  Looking forward to sharing some images with you in the coming week.

Have a lovely day, friends!

Cheers,

**Ferrero Rocher chocolates were kindly gifted, but all opinions are my own.  I love those chocolates!
