Blogmas Day 6 - Christmas Playlist

Good morning (afternoon) loves!

Ive been on holidays from work for about a week now and I'm already going stir crazy. Tomorrow the man and I are supposed to head to a hockey game!

I know I haven't done Blogmas posts every day but bear with me and I'll do as many as I can.

Today, I thought I'd share some of my favorite Holiday tunes with you. (in no particular order)

1 - All I Want For Christmas Is You - Mariah Carey - A classic and one I'm sure many are sick of but not me!

2 - Mele Keleke Maka - Bing Crosby - It's the Hawaiian Christmas song and if you haven't heard of it yet please go give it a listen.

2 - Baby, It's Cold Outside - Michael Buble & Idina Menzel - There's a lot of controversy surrounding this song recently but it hasn't stopped me from loving it.

3 - You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch - A classic

4 - Let It Snow

5 - Frosty The Snowman 

6 - Last Christmas - Ariana Grande Version

7- Little Drummer Boy - David Bowie Version

8 - Santa Tell Me - Ariana Grande

9 - This Christmas - Chris Brown

10 - Santa Baby 

There it is ten of some of my most loved, most listened to Christmas tunes.

What's your favorite Christmas song?

Blogmas Day 1 - Fashion Gift Guide

Hey guys!

So, this year I'm going to attempt Blogmas which I've never done before so please bear with me. I won't be doing a post every day of December but I will try to get up as many as I can for you guys.

The first being a gift guide for that fashion guru in your life. I've created this collection with winter and the festive season in mind.

Sequin Dress - A great idea for a daughter or spouse as most people like to get dolled up and go out to ring in the new year and sequins are always party approved!

Boots - I love receiving boots personally because for me I find them too pricey so it's nice to receive them as a gift and you can never have too many shoes.

Accessories - Can you really go wrong with jewelry? You know what they say, diamonds are a girl's best friend (wrong, it's dogs but a puppy didn't fit into this gift guide theme)

Scarf  - It's winter so you can't go wrong with this one.

Bag/Clutch - Another perfect gift for someone heading out on the town come New Years Eve.

Teddy Bear Coat -  I couldn't find am image of a shorter one which is what I prefer. These coats are super cute and warm to boot.

Well, there it is! I hope this gave you guys some ideas and I will be doing a beauty one as well so stay tuned.

H&M Wishlist

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since my last wish list post and Christmas is approaching quickly so what better time than now to create one?

*hint, hint family*

If you don't know already H&M is one of my favorite stores. Their clothes are affordable and great quality. I know a lot of people who think cheap means poorly made but I don't find that to be the case with H&M. So I created a mini wish list of some products I'm currently coveting.

H&M Beauty - I've seen countless posts about their latest addition, a beauty range. From what I've read the products sound excellent and for the price I'm definitely eyeing some things up for the next time I'm in store.

 Satin Bomber -  To be honest, I've never owned a bomber jacket as I don't think I could pull it off. Still would like to see if I can style it for me in some way to make it work. The floral print on this would be perfect for the upcoming spring.

Biker Leggings -  Honestly you guys I live in leggings and I don't own a pair like these. How cute would these be paired with a cropped leather jacket and some ankle boots?

Skinny Jeans - Jeans are a staple even though personally I wear them rarely these days.

Turtleneck Sweater - Alberta's winters are some of the coldest, one day last year it was - 66 degrees Celsius. That's outrageous. For being a born and raised Albertan I'm not equipped well in the clothing department for winter and turtlenecks are great for keeping warm.

What are you guys coveting?

Christmas Nails

 

Hey everyone.

I was feeling a tad creative today well as creative as it gets when you don't have the proper nail art tools. I wanted to create a Christmas inspired nail look. Originally I wanted to do alternating red & green glitter nails. After searching my polish stash I had no greens at all so instead I went with a red and white look, clearly inspired by candy canes and Santa's colors.

Using:

Essie's "Blanc" for the white

N.Y.C. Polish in "Imperial Red" 

& 

a dollar store glitter topper.

Hope you guys like it!

I definitely want to purchase some nail art tools to create better looks but for now simple will do.

Life Lately #1

 

Hello everyone! 

It's been a long month for me and I want to apologize for my lack of updates recently. With Christmas around the corner, I've been running my butt back and forth to the city for presents and family visits and everything else. It's been hectic the last week or so and will continue to be so until Christmas so I won't be posting much until January and I wanted to let you guys know that I'm still here! 

Just a few days ago we managed to get the time together to decorate our tree and I think it turned out wonderful. You guys, in four and a half years together this is the first year we've had a Christmas tree. He's a bit of a grinch but he's slowly getting there, haha. 

The photo above is my attempt at getting a nice picture with him and our dog Luna (who wouldn't look at the camera no matter what)

Of course, when you go Christmas shopping you always run into the exclusive limited edition sets at Sephora and last night I came across the ever hyped Kat Von D Metal Matte palette which of course I purchased for myself, more on that soon though. 

I hope you all have lovely holidays and a Happy New Year!

Boxing Day Havoc

Hello everyone!

As you are all aware Christmas just passed and Christmas comes with gifts, now I got some money and gift cards so of course I wanted to head out and go shopping immediately. I've never been to the mall on Boxing Day before so I took a chance and braved the crowds of people....well not really I got into the mall went to grab something to eat. The food court was so packed there were folks on the floor with their food trays, I will tell you something I did not expect that at all, needless to say I called my boyfriend as soon as this happened to come get me so I chumped out. I'm not sure if the States is like Canada but here instead of "Boxing Day" sales they have "Boxing Week Sales" some stores do have a really special deal on Boxing Day but most sales are for the week. I had three gift cards, one to Aritzia (my favorite store), La Senza and H&M (another favorite) I didn't pick up a lot but I did grab a few things which I thought I'd share. I'm not going to share what I bought from La Senza because well I don't feel like sharing my panty purchases with the world.

 

First off....Aritzia

You can't really see but they have a patched panel around the calf area and they have zippers on the back as well, nice tight fitting leggings. Most likely will pair this with boots or a pair of heels. 

 

H&M

 

I also found a pair of black disco pants which I absolutely fell in love with but unfortunately they only had my size in the gray and not black. I couldn't find the product on the website but I got a gold chain necklace with black feathers all around it, not sure what I'm going to pair with it. I'll be sure to snap a shot of it when I get home. Any ideas?

That's all for now, did anyone else try to brave the crowds of people?

The photo above is just some of MANY huge snow drifts that have been created from the YYC blizzard. For those of you who don't know what YYC is, it's Calgary. The snow has stopped finally! But it has not got any warmer it's currently -32 degrees Celsius with the wind chill. BRRRRR On another note all the malls now have their Christmas Décor ready. I am so excited for Christmas. What does everyone hope they get?
