Something About That

transitions

in Fashion, Outfit Post on 05/04/15

I’m officially out of work and exactly one week away from starting school. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t enjoying the time off, so I’m glad I took the week as a “staycation.” After all, I have a lot to do this week!

I’ve put together a lengthy list of things that I need to get done. None of these tasks are overly interesting or exciting on their own, which is probably why I’ve put them off until now. That said, I’ve already been able to check a few things off my to-do list. Woot, woot!

In addition to enjoying some much needed down time, I love the weather we’ve been having in Toronto. Warm weather means it’s patio season and time to break out my summer skirts and dresses.

Here’s to a week of transitions, to-do’s and relaxation!

    OMG, I absolutely live in my oversized denim jacket, so I’m loving this combo ( obviously! ). I need to get a little denim jacket for layering over dresses this spring/summer. I love the fit of yours! xx

    Sometimes staycations can be just as amazing as real vacations, anytime you get a break from work its a good thing. That dress looks so pretty on you!

      Agreed! I actually find that after a “real” vacation, I tend to need time to unwind and I never can!

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)

Now that these have been gifted, I can share these Now that these have been gifted, I can share these! 

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!

I’m finishing up the last of the gifting projects and then it’s onto baking cookies! 💁🏼‍♀️

I *think* I know what I’ll be baking...but I’m having a tough time committing 🤪

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 😏)
