Winter Red-y

A trip to Niagara way is never complete without a stop in Burlington, Ontario. Although it was too cold to stroll the waterfront the cold did not stop me from hitting up two of my favourite Burlington shops: Kelly's Bake Shoppe, and Centro Garden. When we left the city, the sun was shinning and the temperature was above freezing, hence my decision to pull out this trench one more time. Thank goodness for layering and turtlenecks, because once we made our way past Oakville the clouds rolled in and the temps dropped. This combination of warm gloves, a cashmere scarf and a knit turtleneck was my saving grace. That, and Kelly's mile high brownie. 

I'm so happy it's Friday again! Do you have any weekend plans? Try incorporating a pop of colour into your outfit and feel your mood automatically lift!

Tropical Vacation Essentials

My upcoming getaway could not be coming at a more perfect time. Winter is in full swing, so it's definitely making the blistery January weather more bearable knowing that just next week I'll be sitting on a beach under the Mexican sun! The lack of sunshine is the one thing I can't stand in Winter. I need it to physically and mentally feel good. You know what I mean? I have been mentally packing my essentials and have realized I am lacking in the bathing suit department, but I have hardly seen any stores put out their getaway pieces! Ordering online isn't an option since I can't confirm anything will arrive on time, so until the stores get their act together I'll be dreaming of packing these beauties with me (especially of that Marysia scalloped suit- how gorg!). Apparently I have a thing with halters this season! 

Are you getting away this winter? Or sticking it out at home?

Pink Pom

I'm back with this hat and bag combo, but with another blush addition to the mix-- this over-sized knit sweater from Joe Fresh (on sale!). Wearing white in winter is nothing new, but pairing it with crisp blush accents offers such a fresh and unexpected take on the season. The other day's seasonably decent weather allowed me to run out sans socks, and while my toes were definitely cold, my head sure was toasty!

What I love about this sweater is the extra roomy shoulder area, and the height of the turtleneck. It doesn't roll over like the majority of my turtlenecks which is a nice change, again adding to the crisp factor. I've been pairing this sweater with everything from black mini skirts to white denim and I have to say this look is one of my favourites! Add in a subtle nude lip and weekend errand running, I got you covered!
