Emily Valentine Cochin Necklace with Boyfriend Jeans and a Blanket Scarf

Guys. It’s freezing outside. Again!

I realize that I sound a bit like a broken record, because I’m constantly complaining about winter, but I can’t help myself. After all, we’re getting towards the end of February, and it’s been a rough one. February 2015 is (un)officially the coldest month on record in Toronto. It’s no wonder that I’m “over it!”

I’ve always been a warm weather girl, but since I’ve become a fashion blogger, my distaste of the cold weather has only grown. Winter and outfit photos aren’t exactly a match made in heaven (unless you’re sharing a look like this).

Every now and then, I’ll venture outside for a few minutes to take some photos. After all, I recently discovered Emily Valentine Jewelry, and I had to share! Aside from wanting to own everything in the collection, I love that everything is hand crafted here in Toronto. Her jewelry is all made with gorgeous combinations of natural stones and crystals, as well as mixed-metals. Think, “statement,” since each piece in the line is unique and edgy. Since receiving one of the necklaces from her new collection a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been wearing it almost daily.

I’d love to say that a gorgeous statement necklace can help us fight the winter blahs, but that’s probably not true. That said, it really cheered me up when my necklace arrived. Nothing some retail therapy can’t fix, right?

      I’ve heard about all of the snow you guys have been getting. I’d imagine it’s worse, just because you’re not as prepared for it as us.

    You make the snow look good girl! We’ve had an unusually warm winter here in Calgary.. it’s weird! I just know it won’t last, we will definately get winter 2.0 in April probs. Also, thanks for always commenting on my blog girl.. I appreciate it! 🙂

      Yeah, I’ve heard about the warm weather out west….but I’ve also seen your crazy snowstorms that pop up super early or late in the season.

      And of course – I love your blog!! 🙂

    That is a great blanket scarf – can’t believe how many layers you have to wear (you poor freezing fashionista!) to stay warm! Cool necklace and jeans too 🙂

      The layers are essential, but I do have more fun putting outfits together when more elements are involved. At least, that’s how I try to convince myself that winter in Canada isn’t all bad 😉

    Okay, so KC had ONE warm 50-degree day, and now we’re back in the single digits. I shouldn’t complain, because it’s better than nothing- but the spring tease is uncool! Ha!

    I love this look, and that necklace is gorgeous! I have a weakness for gold jewelry. 🙂

2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all r 2020 has without a doubt been a year we will all remember. It’s been a big rollercoaster, but there’s no one else I’d rather ride it with than @woodley.matt 🥰

We’ve endured so.many.challenges this year...but we’ve also had some of the best and most exciting moments of our lives this year.

I still can’t believe we bought a house, got engaged AND got a puppy this year (all within a month)! 🤯

Nobody knows what 2021 will bring, but what we do know is, it will start the same way 2020 ended: at home.

I also know we will finally be finishing and moving into our new home in early 2021, and I CANNOT WAIT!! As for wedding plans...ehh, it’s a little tricky to plan these days, so we’ll cross that bridge a little later 😜 

Wishing you all a safe and happy new year at home! 🥳 (which I’m totally okay with - I’m a 👵🏻 anyways)

I picked up knitting needles for the first time in 10+ years (maybe more?!) at the start of the pandemic. I bought a DIY unicorn kit and it took me months before I got around to finishing it. Still, I enjoyed it. 

So, this year, I thought it would be fun to knit up a few gifts for Christmas presents. 

My next project? I’m going to attempt to knit myself a cardigan. 🤭😲🤗

Christmas 2020 - like many things this year, not “normal,” but we made plenty of memories. 

We had a low-key Christmas morning, filled with Bailey’s coffee, Miller snuggles (and weird facial expressions) and cinnamon buns. We finished off the day with a Jewish Christmas dinner: Chinese take out!

Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁 Even though it hasn Happy thanksgiving!! 🍂🍁

Even though it hasn’t been a “normal” Thanksgiving weekend, there is so much to be thankful for. 

One (very) small thing I’m thankful for is that I took Matt’s advice on forgoing my usual butter-only pie crust recipe for one that includes shortening. I used the pumpkin pie recipe from @sallysbakeblog - including the mix of shortening and butter in the crust. I think it was my best pumpkin pie yet! 
(The Turkey was fantastic too of course 😏)
