Tom Ford 'Anouk' (discontinued)

I'm drooling over these Tom Ford 'Anouk' cat-eye sunglasses... sadly they are discontinued.  I did find one pair for sale on eBay.

Outfit deets:
* Urban Behaviour jacket (old).
* A.Co Designs top which you have seen with white skinnies, a leopard skirt/circle vest combo & a circle scarf I made, worn as a skirt (a fave outfit post).  I made this top myself and love it, definitely in the top 10 from my closet.
* Seduction jeans (old) seen with a belted white top & in a another fave outfit post with over-the-knee boots.
* Accessories:  Ardene pashmina, F21 Bangle, A.Co Designs bracelet, Good Works leather wrap bracelet & Gucci sunnies.

I'll admit, I took these photos about a month ago and never got to posting them; hence the beautiful fall leaves and colours.  We certainly don't have any leaves left on trees anymore and while I was hoping to capture more of the fall colours in outfit posts, it seems by the time I would leave work, it was dark out and I'd missed the opportunity (these were taken on my lunch break one day). 

And so, here we are in December, with Christmas quickly approaching and as I look outside it's slowly started to snow, large fluffy flakes that are coming down sparse, but slowly speeding up.  Winter is here, despite the mild temperatures we've experienced the past few days.  Some people wish for snow, but not me.  I'm not a fan of the cold and while I love snow on Christmas, if it melted shortly thereafter and I'd be fine with it.

Speaking of the holidays, does anyone have any Christmas parties to go to?  I have my work Christmas luncheon this Friday and a party next Saturday night (which I'm so excited for because it has been years since I've been to a real, night-time Christmas party! Eep!).  What is everyone wearing?  Dress? Skirt/Top combo? Pants?


I've talked about this girl before, Sarah, my best friend, partner in crime and travel companion.  We work together, play together and sometimes she raps for me.

Sarah is notorious for entering contests and so it was no huge surprise she entered us into a contest with Goody (the hair accessories people) the other day (although I hadn't heard of the contest until I saw she entered us!). 

The real surprise?  Making it to the top 5 of all the entries (Goody chose the top 5).  So exciting!

Now, this is where we need your help.  If we win, we will be whisked away to Toronto on a BFF weekend trip, pampered at the spa & sent out to dinner.  They would be sending us for two nights; so cool!  The winners are picked by whichever best-friends get the most votes.  We are currently leading, but not by much, and we need your vote!

Please click on over and vote for us.  It takes three seconds and we would so appreciate it!

I'm really excited to share with you guys my fourth video for my Fashion Vlogger gig.  For this one, I'm showing you four very different ways to wear a sequined skirt.

I personally think this is my best video/vlog to date, ever.  I've never shown the full outfits in a video before and doing a talk-over was something new for me.  I also managed to keep this video under four minutes (fourth video, four outfits, four minutes... what the wha!?) which is great because we are all busy.

My favourite outfit is definitely the last one; it's edgy, young and fresh but I am also a fan of number one and two as well.  Ha, so hard to choose.

Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans FB page), the next one will be out mid-December and I'll have some great New Years Eve looks for you.

Friday night mini dinner party:  Fajitas & Coronas

This weekend was really, really relaxing and low key.  It was mainly spent at home, inside, cuddled up in blankets.  Since my weekends are normally busy (or at least busy looking), although I don't have many photos to share, I thought I'd still share what I have just to reaffirm I am normal.  Ha.

 Cuddling (she's not mine, but she sure is cute).


Saturday night ordering in.


Saturday night movies; getting into the Christmas spirit.
