Fa La La La La...La La La Laaaa

I am finally getting into the Christmas spirit. I did my first bit of Christmas shopping today and am ready to go back out tomorrow. I normally would have started earlier, but I have been drawing a blank on what to get people this year. What do you buy people that have everything? But I guess they are probably thinking the same thing about me lol.

I was downtown in the cold for a lot of today, so I'm glad to be bundled-up and ttoasty here in my room. I had a great 2 days with friends, but am looking forward to a gym date and shopping solo tomorrow. When I shop with others, I always feel pressured to move quicker. I never want to hold anyone up if I am looking at something. Here was an out-and-about outfit for the day: Cold wind makes me sleepy, so I'm off to bed. Have a great night :)

Shoes:?; jeans: MK; shirt: Old N; sweater: H&M

I'll Be Bullet Proof

I have survived yet another long week of work. It has been stressful, but I did get a pat on the back today from my boss for showing initiative. That was a rare and very appreciated compliment after a stress filled morning.

I am having computer problems yet again, so was only able to upload this one photo. This is my Thursday work outfit.

My Return

Hello all. Thank you for the inqueries and the kind words that you have sent me. After about a month of dealing with personal issues and keeping myself busy, it finally feels ok to smile again and to finally continue blogging. Blogging is something that I have enjoyed for the past 2 years, and am happy to start again.

Here are a couple photos taken tonight. I might wear the outfit tomorrow or Friday.

Sorry for the poor quality, my flickr wasn't working, so I had to improvise.

The Salon Prize 2010 Opening Reception

I will not be posting for a while for personal reasons. Please check back in a week or two. Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving

to my Canadian friends, happy gobble gobble! It has been a long 2 weeks, but hopefully I will have some photos for you this week!

Happy Weekend

Hello all! Well it is the weekend yet again. This week has just flown by for me...I couldn't believe that the last time I posted was 6 days ago. My work life has kept me happily busy, and because I'm happy, I have been losing weight. I'm the type of person that eats when they are unhappy, but now I am getting back to the size I was 2 years ago. The onlydownside is that I have a whole new work wardrobe that is starting to get pretty loose. My skirts just don' nip in far enough at the waist anymore.

I love my 70's inspired ruffled blouse in these pictures. They were the only photos I could get before the batteries ran out in my camera. Will charge and do more!

Skirt and shirt: Ann Taylor; Shoes: Anne KLein

Kids Who Wear the Crowns

I went shopping States side today, which I love to do. Because I was by myself, I only shopped in Watertown, at the SalmonRun mall, Kohl's and Target. I didn't find as many deals as I was expecting, however, I did enjoy the low tax rate. On my $44 dress, I paid just over $1 in taxes. I think that is awesome.

I didn't buy much, but as usually, I made sure I loved what I got. I was so close to buying a Calvin Klein dress today. but found the one below that I liked more. If I hesitate over a piece of clothing, I immediately put it back. When I go shopping, I doing buy anything I don't immediately love when I try it on. I have always found that those purchases have been a waste of money because I don't wear them.

I also bount my first pair of wearable wedges and I am sold. They are so supportive, I want more!

My original intention when shopping was mainly to get 1.5-2" high heeled shoes for work, and possibly some tops and maybe a pair of pants for fall. I ended up being draw to all sorts of skirts and dresses. I did get a pair of shoes, but also got a dress of all things. The season is changing, and I but a dress...smart. I am also looking for the perfect sweater dress right now.

Working Girl

I love going to work where there are lots of friendly/funny people...but then I have to come home to an empty house. Kind of depressing; however! tomorrow is my spa day, I will be relaxing with a massage after work. Saturday I will be buzzing off to the states alone because le boyf has better things to do with his day. But shopping alone is always better anyway, le bf's never give you a straight opinion!

Today I didn't want to wear a skirt, dress pants or heels.
