{Christmas Week} Spots & Dots...

Leopard print might not exactly come to mind when one considers holiday prints (with plaid, argyle, heck, even polka dots seeming more appropriate), but for whatever reason, I'm loving it for Christmas Week. Paired with oxblood and some faux fur — not to mention a festive church backdrop — I'm holiday-ready... Four more sleeps!

{Christmas Week} Festive Details...

You know me and my accessories... I can't live without 'em. Here's a round up of my favourite sparkly bits and bobs this holiday season, including Meows' swanky new collar. Happy Thursday, lovelies! xx

{Christmas Week} Seeing Red...

I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I always seem to revert back to eight-year-old Vickie in both mind and dress. Alarming maybe, but let's just chalk it up to the holiday season. Take this outfit for instance; I'm pretty sure I look like a kid who's watched too much Madeline, am I right? The barrett and school girl-inspired gettup aren't helping matters, but what can I say, these things happen. Now all I need is hot cocoa and day 19 of my chocolate advent calendar, and I'm good to go.

PS- Notice the atypical laughing photo at the end? That's because some random dude decided to photo-bomb me... How could I not include that?

{Christmas Week} Plaid Details...

For most of us, the holidays come complete with a chill in the air and that pesky Jack Frost incessantly nipping at your nose... Soooo not sexy. Thankfully the winter gods throw us a bone every now and again, allowing for cold weather accessories that — joy of joys — actually look cute! What a concept.

These Quill & Tine driving gloves are by far my favourite new winter discovery, as their luxe materials (wool, lambskin and cashmere lining, what!) and dreamy print (because really, what's Christmas without a little plaid?) look damn good as they shield my delicate digits from the elements. The best part? They seem to like my smart phone as much as I do — a glove rarity, to be sure. Let's just say my phone and I are very, very pleased.

Outfit details: blazer- H&M; polka dot dress- Forever 21; woven leather belt- thrifted; touchscreen-enabled driving gloves c/o Quill & Tine; necklace- Forever 21

{Christmas Week} Merry Making...

Ho-ho-how excited are you guys for another theme week?! Can you guess what it is? Well if the presents, baubles and gigantic bows didn't give it away (or, let's face it, the title of this post), let me help you out— it's Christmas week, y'all!

To kick things off, my homegirl Kastles and I wanted to spread some yuletide cheer with a festive little shoot... And although we froze our buns off and dealt with many a strange look along the way (two dudes actually stopped to laugh and take pics of us), it was totally worth it. Hey, they don't call it the most wonderful time of the year for nothing! xx

On Kastles: plaid shirt- Joe Fresh; dress- Jason Wu for Target; necklace- Anthropologie; polka dot tights- J.Crew; pumps- H&M; bow- made by Kassie // On me: plaid dress- The Pretty Secrets; polka dot tights- Forever 21; booties- Aldo; bow- made by Kassie

Wardrobe Wednesday...

One thing that I really wanted for Christmas this year was a leopard print Wilfred scarf... It's one of those things that I've meant to buy for years (no exaggeration!) but somehow never did. Well it's a good thing Mr. AIF reads my blog, because he got me one this Christmas! *happy dance*

What was your favourite gift this year? I wanna know! xx
