This past weekend I celebrated my 28th birthday! I went to Gliss for dinner, as I do every year, and it was absolutely delicious! Brandon had the waitress surprise me with a slice of cake and a happy birthday serenade, which was a little embarrassing but nonetheless a very sweet gesture. :) Words I would use to describe my birthday celebration : Brandon, Mum, Thor 3D, Popcorn, Peanut Butter Fudge, Tequila Rose, Gliss, H&M, Miss Dior and Velvet Print Pants.
These black floral print pants from Maurices (similar style here, and here) are a birthday gift from Mum. I've had my eyes on these for a while and was super thrilled to be able to add them to my wardrobe (thank you mummy dearest). I love the subtle velvet print. A great way to add a bit of flare to an otherwise simple black pant. I decided on a black and white combo for a coffee date with mum today. Black and white is one of my favourite combinations. Like Coco Chanel said "It is the perfect harmony".

Sometimes while walking around downtown on a cold afternoon, Mum and I like to stop in at Dish | Espresso Bar & Cafe to warm up with a nice coffee or tea. Usually during the fall/winter months, my favourite warm and cozy drink is either a Chai Latte or a White Hot Chocolate with Chai Tea from Tim Horton's, but today I decided to try something different and I think I might have found a new favourite drink. White Chocolate Latte. Delish! What is your favourite cold weather drink?
Lagerfeld's words here are so true. A little black dress can take you anywhere! Classic, simple, effortlessly chic. The LBD can be sophisticated and classy by day, elegant and sexy by night. Every woman needs a black dress!
As I read these words a few weeks ago, I realized that a simple black dress is something that my wardrobe is lacking. I have black sequins, black lace, black pin stripe, but not plain black. So, my hunt for the perfect LBD begins.
This coat, which I've had for years now, is one of my favourite pieces to wear during the fall season. A trench coat is classic, can be worn with pretty much everything and it can easily be dressed up or down. Definitely a fall staple.
The more I learn about fashion, the more I realize just how important accessories are. They can totally transform an outfit and really bring everything together. I'm really thrilled about this super soft colour block eternity scarf from Bootlegger. Colour blocking is still a huge trend this season and the black and grey colour combo is one of my favourites. The peace bracelet has just the right amount of rhinestones to add a bit of bling to a casual outfit.

I recently purchased holographic nail polish from the Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Collection and I'm officially obsessed. This season, shade-shifting nail polish is a huge trend. Whether they have a shimmery finish or a metallic finish, you'll definitely want to give this trend a try! Over Thanksgiving weekend I wore Lava by Sally Hansen which is, in my opinion, the most holographic shade in the collection. Every time the sunlight hit my nails, I watched with excitement as the shade shifted from pink to orange. Here are a few holographic collections I'm thrilled about at the moment.

This past Monday was Thanksgiving here in Canada. I hope all of my Canadian readers enjoyed the holiday. I normally spend it with family but this year I took advantage of the extra time off from work and spent the weekend with Brandon in Michigan.
We wanted to do something fun so we had a mini vacay in Frankenmuth. I've visited this quaint little Bavarian town three times now and I still love it just as much as the first time. We stayed at our favourite place, Midtown Bed & Breakfast. If you're planning on going to Frankenmuth and like Bed & Breakfasts, you definitely want to give this place a try.
Other than strolling up and down Main Street (with my favourite person) and enjoying the scenery, my top three favourite things are . . . Frankenmuth Fudge, Chocolate Wine and Diane's delicious breakfast at Midtown Bed & Breakfast.

Black and brown is one of my favorite color combos for fall. I've read and heard countless times that this combo is against the rules but, some fashion rules (especially this one) are meant to be broken. This super soft suede-like brown skirt is perfect for fall and luckily the weather has been warm enough for bare legs and short sleeve tops. I added the leopard scarf for a bit of cozy warmth.
