I believe this was my last Christmas celebration! Everything goes a bit long with me. Birthweek, Christmonth. It’s all about extending the celebrations and nothing to do with presents, I assure you. Kisses still is intrigued by our hallway gatherings. She’s really sweet, and tolerates it every time I give her a snugglin’. We did this at the end of the night, so my hair had become slightly messy, but I think it looks great! If I had patience, and time, and the ability to get up in the morning, I would totally curl it often, and straighten it often, … Continue reading Final Christmas Post (February 9th. I’m behind.)

Probably a casual Friday outfit. I look pretty casual. Jeans, Joe Fresh Tee,Old Navy Cardi, Zellers Earrings & Necklace, Mina & Don’s wedding I find a business casual environment quite restricting. I’m never sure what is or is not casual. Obviously, I wouldn’t do bikini-top and cutoffs, but some of my dresses are quite dressy, and I can’t decide if that’s appropriate or not. So, of late, my uniform has been: pants, top, cardigan, sensible shoes. I’m trying to add interest with my baubles, but mostly I feel discouraged, style-wise. I do like what a b-cas wardrobe creates, though. That … Continue reading Christmas, Casual, and C-Other things.

This is the longest my hair has been since high school, pretty sure. Pants, Attitude by Jay Manuel for Sears Shoes, H&M Cardi, Joe Fresh Necklace, F21 Tee, vintage I mentioned the cats visit every time we do picturetime? They do. This is that happening. I don’t know why they do it. They know I’m going to harass them in this way. It must be awful for them. She looks miserable. MISERABLE. Yet, she stays. She’s not the brightest knife in the drawer. She is the sweetest, though. CAT PILE! What’s new in life, folks? For me, it is February. … Continue reading Cat photos, and a post. Mostly cats, though.

Sometimes Julie goads me into dancing for him. My dance moves are pretty much second to none. I’ll prove it: (Original Photo by John Koo (Glor’s wedding, photo by Mina Cioccio MacTavish) Okok, outfit! Sweater, H&M Sweater, F21 Jeans, Joe Fresh Headband, Hello Kitty Comfy, Lazy, Winter. Continue reading Let’s Dance

Okay, so I may have said nothing in the shops tickled me. I was wrong. This Ah-Maze-Ing skirt was on super clearance at Target for $4.94! Can you imagine?! There’s no flaw that I can see. It’s delightful. Skirt, Target Sweater, F21 Tights, We Love Colours Watch, G-Shock Necklace, MosaicPlanet, by Mina (buy the seasonal trees, before I do!) Boots, Payless The only thing that could go with this bright, flashy, sequin zig-zag number was my WLC tights. I couldn’t decide between yellow and lavendar, but I’ll show you the yellow soon enough, I’m sure. This skirt has been my … Continue reading Sparkle!

I quite like this little dress Dress, thrifted Boots, Payless Tights, Merona Necklace, Bridesmaid gift from Glor’s wedding Cat. She looks vaguely like she’s begging for help. She’s fine. She likes it. SHE DOES. The cats often seem to wander down to see what we’re up to during phototime. Which has been less often of late, oops! I’m quite exhausted when I arrive home, sadly, so it’s mostly: home. jammies. tea. bed. No time for pictures – and very little inspiration! I’ve even gone to the shops and nothing tickles me. Winter has me down, I suppose. Continue reading Red Dress

Are these January? They might be December. Ah, well. She looks pretty disapproving of me not knowing. 1. TOPBOX Not so top. Small. Quite small. Oh! This must be December because I took the cleanser to New Brunswick and forgot it. Cleanser – Straightener Thingie – Chloe Perfume – Bronzer powder All products very good. 2. GLYMM Meh. Eyelashes – Lash Serum – Eye Liner – Coupons The lashes are very OTT. The liner is smudgey and runny and by midday is all the way down your face. The serum, I’m pretty sure, works. I did a week of one … Continue reading January Boxes!

After nearly a month of waiting, my lone photo from my Mad-Men themed Office Christmas party is here! Obviously, my outfit was inspired by Joan. Dress, Handmade by Julie’s mum! – an absolute oeuvre. When I was little, my mother would slap dresses together in a matter of hours, and I thought it was No Big Deal. So, when I asked J if his mom would be willing to make me a quick frock, I was expecting a one-afternoon deal. Goodness, no. She pre-sews, and measures twice, and hand-sewed the hems! They’re invisible – it’s amazing. Shoes, Birthday present from … Continue reading Finally!

Hi! I’m off for the new year to New Brunswick for the new year. There’s a backlog of photos I’m waiting for the lad to edit, and once I have those I’ll post, promise. My Christmas was pretty okay. We spent the evening with Julie’s family and had an awesome raclette. Christmas day my family came to my house – bringing uninvited guests with them! Fortunately, there was enough food, but not enough chairs. Everything worked out, my entirely gluten-free menu was fantastic, and no one knew it was gluten-free. And the best part? NES with Friends. You may also … Continue reading Happy Holidays!

This is going to sound more vain than it is: I clean up good. To illustrate, here’s what I wore to work: Jeans, Joe Fresh Dress (as a top), Zellers Cardi, Jacob Watch, g-Shock Sneakers, Adidas I look cute, it’s true. (Vain again!) But, here’s what I looked like two hours later, for Julie’s Christmas Party: Dress, JC Penney Fishnets, Victoria’s Secret Clutch, Betsey Johnson Head Thing, Winners Watch, FCUK Shoes, Michael Antonio Not in a vain way, but come on. The second one is better. And it should be, it took TWO HOURS. However, I felt like a million … Continue reading Christmas Party The First
