Mustard Seed

There once was a time when I wouldn't be caught dead wearing colour, let alone mustard yellow and blue together. In fact this get-up brings back some faded memories. It reminded me of kindergarten and the primary colour paintings that a lot of us made before nap time. I can almost smell the non-toxic paint (or wait…was it non-toxic back then?) and see my 4-year old self with an over-sized paint brush, three pots of paint (red, yellow and blue) making a horrible mess of things, while at the same time thinking 3 lines of dripping paint on construction paper were a masterpiece.  Let's be honest, I would still have fun painting with an over-sized brush, three pots of paint and construction paper. And yes, I would still think it’s a masterpiece. Old habits die hard...

What I am wearing:

Do any of your outfits make you nostalgic?

Blackout

There are some days where nothing but a LBD (little black dress) will do. This dress was a HAVE to buy after I saw a wonderful friend rock it to work almost 2 years ago! What's even better is when that HAVE to buy item is on a double clearance sale. Sometimes there is nothing better than scoring a great piece at a bargain.

Legs are looking a bit pasty....yuck....

Dress: United Colors of Benetton 
Scarf: Hand me Down

Snow Bunny

This past Saturday, on a blistering cold day, Kat from a Second Glance and I decided to venture out and take some pictures of our snow gear. When I say cold I mean -30 Celsius! For my American friends, that’s -22F. Normally I balk at the very thought of being outdoors, let alone agreeing to being outside willingly, but a decision had been made to get together and so we did (Kat I must like you a lot ;)).

Though cold, it was a bright and beautiful day. Kat and I took turns taking each others photos between running back to the car to warm up. It was definitely a day for a warm mug of hot cocoa that’s for sure.

What I am Wearing:
Coat: COACH (bought last year)
Scarf: COACH Oscelot (Last year)
Gloves: COACH (2 years old) …I'm sure you can see a theme here….but that’s what happens when you work for a company for 3 years!
Leggings: Aritzia
Boots: Pajar

What do you do to keep warm during the winter? How do you brave the cold?
