Do you ever buy something and over time not really love it because it's so basic or simple or just plain boring?  But over time, you come to realize you actually wear it a lot and are so thankful you made the purchase?  Case in point: these shoes.  I purchased them over two years ago, they are so simple, so plain, so... boring... I mean, compared to other shoes I have, and yet, they get a ton of play, especially lately.  Sometimes those types of purchases are the best and outlast trendy-loves in a closet.

Remember that photoshoot I did in the rain a while back?  Here is the rest of the photos we did, different outfit and locations.

You guys, it's getting so cold out and this is not good for outfit posts.  I planned on taking this jacket off and showcasing my top, but that wasn't going to happen in the super frigid wind.  Brrrrr.  I think outdoor outfit posts are being quickly phased out, sadly... unless you want pictures of me in my parka.

When my girlfriend asked me to help style the surprise party she was throwing for her man, I couldn't say no.  We came up with a colour theme and went from there.  She came up with a great menu and did a super job preparing the food.  We made tissue paper pom-poms and I created the table layout.  She also asked me to stick around and play photographer for the evening, since she knows how much I love taking pictures.  The birthday boy was totally surprised and everything went extremely well, it was great.

* I noticed that some of you have asked some questions in the comments section in the past and while I try my best to answer, either on your blog or via twitter, some of you don't have a blog.  I prefer not to respond to comments on my blog as not everyone checks back.  I do have a formspring account, where you can go and ask anything you'd like, even anonymously.  So, what are you waiting for?!
