R&R

 I am back from a wonderful week of R&R! Once we got over the car accident on the way down (luckily everyone was ok!) We decided to just put it behind us and enjoy our vacation. My in-laws take great care of us and we always leave feeling so much better than we arrived. No outfit pics today but I thought I would share a few from our vacation. The beach is one of my favourite places and one day I will live somewhere on a beach.

We rented bikes, it was tons of fun (except riding against the wind).

Gazing at the water wondering how I can end up with a house here.

Everyone enjoyed it even Harry Beast.

Hubby and I on the last morning.

This just makes me happy.

Taking Chances

Well our vacation got off to a rough start, after driving 15 hours we only had an hour and a half left when we got in a car accident. Someone hit us from behind. Luckily we were all ok however, our car is most likely a write off.  All we could do is be thankful none of us were hurt and just enjoy our much needed (even more so now) vacation.

So now I am resting, relaxing, shopping and having a great time. Love this reminder to take chances......Have a great week!

Spring Dress

I have been a little MIA lately, between being sick, so busy at work and getting ready for my trip, I have not had a lot of extra time. I will be taking all of next week off as I need some rest and to feel some warmth! I'm also really hoping when I get back the weather breaks and winter can finally be put to rest. This is a summer dress that I figured by the time March hit I would be able to wear, well it is still - 25 degrees with snow all over the place so I may have to wait a little longer.

Black & Blue

Today I am feeling so much better. Other than a dry cough I am almost back to normal. Not sure I will actually wear this blouse today with this skirt as I have a tendency to change at the very last minute. I have a cream blouse on standby just in case.
Happy Monday!

Sick!

I spent all of last week sick! Several days in bed, tons of chicken noodle soup & early to bed every night and I think I am finally on the mend. Today I am going to venture out and get some errands done, thought this quote was fitting.

Monday...

Here we go again, it is Monday! Still not feeling 100% but hoping it will pass.  Going to be another busy week with lots going on. Hope you all have a fantastic last week of February.

Coco Chanel

Well, my Sunday Quote is a little late today. I got up quite early to watch the Men's Olympic Hockey game between Canada and Sweden (with great results!!).  Then I started to feel a little under the weather. My throat is killing and my body is aching. I am really hoping this will pass as I am too busy right now to get sick!
Hope you are all enjoying what is left of the week-end.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!! I cannot believe how fast this week went by. I guess that is what happens when you are so busy you barely have time to check what day it is. I am pretty sure my internet is back up and running normally which is a good thing. I never realize how much I rely on the internet until I don't have use of it. It is pouring with rain and supposed to actually get above 0 today so I have my fingers crossed that some (all) of the snow will melt away and hopefully not be seen again......
Enjoy your week-ends!

Spring Dress

I was out running errands the other day, fully intending NOT to shop when I spotted this dress out of the corner of my eye. It was part of the spring/summer items that have started to appear in most stores, not sure how we are supposed to feel about this when we are still knee deep in snow with more on the way. This however, did not stop me from buying it and working into a winter look. What I really can't wait for, is to wear it in the spring/summer with no boots or jacket or nylons but just my sandals!

Pattern Pants

Last week was another crazy week. My internet was causing some problems so I was not able to post for a few days. Then it was Valentine's Day and our Family Day long week-end. I am finally getting caught up on stuff today. This is an outfit I wore to work last week. I ended up changing the shoes and necklace but kept the rest the same. Technically these are summer pants but I am not one to follow any of those type of rules!
Hope everyone had a wonderful week-end.

Sunday Quote Day

This is a reminder for those who may have forgotten we decide which way we are going to go!

Brown & Navy

As usual my pictures don't really show the true colours, however, these are brown pants and a navy blazer. There is something classic about this colour combo that I love.

Pants: Old // Sweater: Old Navy // Blazer: H&M 

Comfy & Easy

Happy Monday. Today I am out of the office and off to a 2 day first aid course. I need to be comfy, so there is nothing exciting about this outfit just warm and easy. The snow continues to fall and I am now counting down the days to my annual trip to Hilton Head.....26 more days until I can finally feel some warmth.

Audrey Hepburn Quote

It has been such a busy week-end, had back to back parties yesterday (and lots of fun). Today we are off to see the new Lego movie (which quite frankly I am not sure who is more excited my husband or my son) then dinner with our friends.
Audrey Hepburn is not only one of my style icons, but an incredibly smart women. Love this quote.

Friday!

TGIF!! It has been another long week with early mornings, busy days and yet another huge snowstorm. I am super happy it is Friday. Hope you all made it through the week and have an amazing week-end.

Lilac

Trying to get away from my dark dressing and thought I would go with a little lilac. This blazer is probably one of the oldest pieces of clothing I own. I bought it at least 12 years ago and can't believe I have hung onto it for so long. I'm thinking of changing up the buttons just to give it a fresh look.

In Mourning

I feel like I am in mourning with all this black I have been wearing lately. I think I am mourning the sun and the heat. There is a small silver lining though, this week-end brought February and February is a short month which means March will be here sooner than later and March is almost spring and spring means summer is just around the corner......you get my drift! I won't be mourning for long.

Quote Day

I have had a great week-end and am now off to a Superbowl Party. I just love the message below. What a difference a row can make! Always choose to live life front and centre.

L.B.D

Not much to report, it is still beyond cold here but I refuse to give up wearing dresses. This is as simple as you can get. Just jazzed up the tights a bit, oh and I may add a belt, the rest is pretty simple.
Hope your all staying warm.

Summer to Winter

I have really been missing summer lately, so I thought why not wear one of my summer outfits that I loved and just tweak it for the winter. So this is what I chose. I just added some tights and a blazer and I am ready for the arctic cold we have been experiencing. The only thing I can't recreate is my tan!

Keep it Simple

Happy Sunday Quote Day!
If only we could all live like this, what a more uncomplicated life we would have.
