These photos were taken on Christmas Eve in Vancouver, exactly one year after Mr. AiF popped the question (remember?). After the deed was done and I dumbfoundedly said yes, we had a really lovely lunch at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, with me paying far more attention to the new ring on my (shaking) hand than the incredible Indian buffet in front of me � memories. Since then, we decided to make it an annual tradition to visit a Fairmont Hotel in whatever city we happen to find ourselves in that day, pretending to be fancy over tea or (let's face it) the all-you-can-eat buffet. These photos are the before shots from said buffet excursion... You're welcome. xx

Well, it's Monday and you know what that means � only two more sleeps until the big day! Mr. AiF, Meows and I are currently in Vancouver, enjoying slightly less snow than we're used to (what gives, yvr?!) plus lots of amazing food and drink before heading to Victoria on Christmas Day to chill with my family. That's going to lead to even more food and drink, and Mr. AiF rolling me onto a plane come January... Oh the holidays.

Happy Monday, friends! xx

{Christmas Week} Playing Dress-Up

Dress- SheInside | leather jacket- Zara | heels c/o Forever 21 | clutch- Michael Kors | necklace- Zara | ring- Saint Laurent | bangles- J.Crew


I love a good conversation starter, so to kick off another theme week (yay, Christmas!), I thought it would be fun to feature this battle-scene dress as a holiday option.... because why wouldn't you sport violent scenes from antiquity on Christmas? My thoughts exactly. So should you find yourself at a holiday fete where you don't know anyone, a dress like this should help break the ice. And if that doesn't work, just ask people what their favourite herb is � it works every. single. time. xx

I picked up this coat from Zara on Saturday, and since then, I've worn it every single day � now I don't want to jinx anything here, but I think this may be love. Not the kind of love that wavers over time or lessens when people try to knock it down (like, say, when one of your BFFs refers to your new love as a bath robe � chump). 'Oh no, it is an ever fixed mark whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken'... Man, that Shakespeare new a thing or two about girls and their coats, let me tell you.

Happy Monday, friends � here's to a fab week! xx

{Style} Winter Pinks

Blazer- ASOS | shirt c/o Nicole Campre | jeans- H&M | bag- Milly | booties borrowed from The Pretty Secrets | beanie- Joe Fresh | necklaces + bangles- J.Crew | ring- Saint Laurent | watch- Michael Kors


Winter is in full swing (happy December, by the way!), so to counteract its morale-bursting effects, I decided to wear all the pink I could stomach in one sitting... And believe me, my pink tolerance is low. But you know what? Turns out it's basically impossible to have a bad day or be sad (with a double 'd') when you're wearing this obnoxiously bright shade. Seriously now, winter neons � do it.
