Top Looks of 2010

It's nearing the end of 2010, so I thought I would take a look back at some of my more popular outfits. 

JUNE - Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

In the summer I was obsessed with lace. I am still in love with this light blue, loose fitting lace top from Aritzia. I also love how a blazer can dress up the simplest of outfits. 

JULY - Bragg Creek

This outfit was from a day trip with Ashley of Opheliac to Bragg Creek. It ended up being a rainy day, so most of our photos happened under this bridge, The summer was also a time for little rompers. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can pull out all of my rompers again! Only 4-5 months left of snow.

JULY - The Ridge

I wore this outfit to a casual jack & Jill baby shower. It was actually JP's 8th nephew's shower! As you can see, this is the third photo in a row featuring lace. If you don't know by now, I adore lace everything!

MAY - Layers & Clouds

I remember this day so clearly. Ashley of Opheliac and I drove around forever trying to find the perfect spot for photos. I really wanted to find this park that my brothers and I call "the barn" but I didn't know it's exact location. Finally we found it, but by then it was rainy and cold. Somehow, we ended up walking, talking and taking tons of photos for hours in the cold. It was such a fun day!

JUNE - Flowers & Reflections

This is one of my casual friday looks from work. The building in the background is City Hall. I remember this being such an exciting time of year because all of the tulips downtown were blooming. It was so beautiful!

So far I have been having a blast blogging. I'm really loving capturing my life through my wardrobe and really observing my personal style and learning what it means to me. Here are a few more of my favourite outfits from this year on the blog:

SPRING

SUMMER

FALL

WINTER

Thank you so much to everyone who has been supporting me along the way. I'm looking forward to what the new year has to bring, and I can't wait to sharing it with all of you. 

Pearls and Cardigans

Christmas was here and gone before I even knew it this year. I opted out of any vacation time for the holidays and decided to save it up for the wedding and some sort of trip during the summer, so I was back at work today. I miss the days of being young and having weeks off from school, just sitting by the Christmas tree staring at my presents. I miss watching hours on end of Christmas specials, and getting more and more excited for Christmas Day as the hours pass. This year I was wrapping presents until the very last minute, and didn't catch a single Christmas show. It was still a good weekend, but I just hate when special days are over so fast. I guess that's why JP and I decided to go for a destination wedding. I love the idea of drawing out the wedding events for a whole week, and then celebrating at the end of the week with a big party and a big dress. Only two more months to go!! I'm also so excited to escape to somewhere warm during the dead of winter. 

The tights, tanktop, pearl necklace and cardigan are all Christmas presents. I got three cardigans for Christmas this year! I was pretty excited. My mom and aunt know me well. I adore cardigans. <3

Christmas 2010

Here are a few photos from the holiday weekend. JP and I spend Christmas Eve at my parents house. We snacked on holiday treats, visited with family and neighbours, and watched Home Alone. Christmas day JP and I slept in. We were woken up by a phone call from my little sister stating that she couldn't wait for us anymore. We then went back over to my parents house for gift openings and breakfast. Later that evening JP and I stopped by his sisters house to visit and play card games. Today we finally went out to see Harry Potter! I can't believe that I managed to wait this long to see it! All in all it was a pretty great Christmas weekend. 

Ice Skating and Little Sisters

Today I had a half day of work. I used the time to finished shopping for stocking gifts, and then headed over to my parents for the rest of the day. My dad made a little ice rink in their backyard, so my sister and I decided to try it out. It was pretty tiny for me to practice much skating, but the little rink was the perfect size for my sister to practice stopping and turning. She is such a good little skater already! I showed her a couple of figure skating turns and she caught on first try.

 I wasn't really planning on spending much time outside today, so I wasn't dressed to skate outdoors. My "skating outfit" is a mishmash of my moms winter gear. lol.

Parking Garage

Over the weekend some friends of mine and JP's kindly decided to take us out for dinner since they are going to miss our wedding in Cabo. I decided to take advantage of a night out and got dressed up. It was such a great night. We had dinner at The Keg, and then later came back to our place to hang out. 

I honestly can't believe that it is almost Christmas! JP and I still aren't done our Christmas shopping. We are running out later tonight to the mall to buy some gifts. The mall is so crazy during the holidays! I'm not looking forward to the trip, but we can't wait anymore. I want there to be some presents under the tree for a couple of days at least. 

We already had an early Christmas on Sunday with JP's family. He has 8 nephews and a niece! I can't believe that in two months I'm going to have several nephews and a niece. They already call me Auntie Ashley. It's so cute.
