The Perfect Saturday

H&M cocoon shrug, J Brand jeans, Bebe silk top, Jami Rodriguez necklace, Chanel flats

Today was just the Saturday I've been looking forward to. Slept in, brunched, walked my dog, and just relaxed. J & I took him to the park across the street for some fresh winter air. It's a tiny park for now but it will be expanded in a few months and they're building an off-leash dog park! I don't know who's more excited... me or my dog?!

This cocoon shrug is as soft and comfortable as it looks. I was skeptical when I first saw it... afraid that the Michelin boy effect might add 20lb. I tried it on and to my surprise, I actually Loved the volume! It does shed quite a bit, which is why I opted for a silky black top instead of a cotton one. The skinny jeans works to balance out the heaviness of the top and they're my new fav jeans. I have to rave about Winner's again. These J Brand low rise Cigarette jeans were $100!

Hope everyone's having a great weekend! Just 5 more days til Xmas!!

Russian Red

H&M faux-fur vest and gloves, Express lace top, Marciano pencil skirt, Zara multi-strap heels, Chanel baguette, pearls, and lip color (Rouge Allure 58 Audace)

There's something about red lips in the winter. Perhaps it's the sharp contrast with the pale colors of winter or that red is just so festive! It has been colder than usual in Vancouver lately. Now that I walk to work everyday, I'm constantly on the lookout for cold weather accessories. I found some great scarves, gloves, earmuffs, and hats at Winner's! I'm in love with that place all over again. This furry headband was such a steal - it keeps my head warm and I love the subtle nude color. Not sure about Moscow, but I feel fully equipped for our Canadian winter.  I'm currently on the hunt for another red lip color, maybe with a hint of coral? Any suggestions?

Bebe cardi, H&M skirt, Nine West shoes, BCBG bangle, Jami Rodriguez necklace

We finally got internet connection at our place! I can blog again.. woohoo!  From massive cleanup after hardwood installation to painting til the break of dawn, it has been two weeks of madeness! All the stress and headache was well worth it. We finally get a chance to enjoy living in the city! There's still a lot of things to get but we've decided to take it slow from now on... as long as there's a couch, tv, and internet, our place feels like home and I'm happy :) Got this cardi from Bebe last fall... It's cape-like, thick knit and very cozy! And thanks Jami Rodriguez and Kym for the beautiful necklace. I love the mixed chains and the assortment of beads.

P.S. I'll be sure to post up some apartment pics soon!

Apartment Full of Nothing

It's been a week since I've posted... my apologies! Once things settle down I'll be back to my regular blogging schedule... please bear with me :) It's been a super hectic week.. J and I moved into our new pad on Monday! It's an Apartment Full of Nothing at the moment. We still don't have any furniture as of today other than dining chairs.  I'm sooo in love with my ghost chairs. They live up to the rep in doing wonders in a small space! It feels like we've been camping... sleeping on the ground, minimal kitchen utensils... all we're missing is a fire.. and maybe some s'mores!
