Boxing Bay

For once, I did not shop for clothing on Boxing Day... We've got an entire house to furnish. We're holding off on buying any furniture until we move in, that way we can have a real feel for the space before making any decisions. We will however need a few essentials upon move-in day. Trying to think practically and logically, we figured pots, dishes and utensils were a good place to start. A new kitchen is sort of useless unless you have something to cook and eat from. Off to the Bay we went! It was perfect timing and we took advantage of the great sales. I can check that tiny thing off my never-ending list...

Jewel Cords

There is something so rich and sophisticated about jewel tones. I love wearing them all at once for a really rich look. While colours of this palette can be seductive, today's take is more fun. I paired my teal cords with a deep fuchsia top and infused the rest of the outfit with a jewel-toned print zip-up sweater. The splashes of colour in the sweater tie the outfit together, while incorporating other similar hues to the look. The beauty about jewel tones is that they look good on every skin tone! Even though you may not be able to afford real sapphires or emeralds, these gems' colours can easily be added to your closet.

Weekend Uniform

I love that the holidays feel like an extra-long weekend. So long, that you forget what day it is or even what time it is. That's when you know you've fully disconnected! I've noticed a pattern in my weekend dressing and realized it's become a sort of uniform for me. A sweater with skinny jeans/leggings and cozy socks is my go to for some stylish down time. All of the elements serve a purpose: the sweater is comfy and non-restrictive, the jeans/leggings are stretchy and the socks keep my feet nice and toasty. It's the perfect uniform for bumming around the house, but it's also put together enough should you have to leave the house for any reason, or should people drop by unexpectedly for a visit.
