This Week’s Reads, Eats and Buys

in Blog Talk on 03/19/17

Memories from my prom night

Thanks to the #SQ1Prom event at Square One Shopping Centre, I took a trip down memory lane.

Happy Sunday! For most of the past week, I’ve been sick with a cold, so my week was incredibly uneventful. Aside from a trip to Mc Donald’s for Mc Nuggets, I didn’t really leave the house until Friday. It’s almost embarrassing to type that out, but it’s true. Even now, I’m feeling a lot better than I was, but I’m still not 100% myself. As you can probably imagine, I’m completely over it!

Favourite Reads:

  • Why I’m Forgiving the Woman Who Bullied Me at Toronto Fashion Week – I can’t believe someone had the nerve to be so rude to a complete stranger, but Kayla’s take on the situation is refreshing.
  • 6 Benefits of Instagram Insights for Bloggers – I was really surprised by number 6. Now I need to figure out a way to use the information!
  • Dressing Room Diaries – Without realizing it, I did a similar dressing room diaries from my trip to Smithery Style last week, but in video form. I think I want to do more of these. Thoughts?
  • My Best Tips for Working From Home – I have a lot to work on…

Favourite Eats:

  • Flourless Peanut Button Chocolate Chip Brookies – These look and sound delicious!
  • Roasted Asparagus With Lemon, Feta and Pistachios – Even though I love plain roasted asparagus, it can get a little bit boring. Why not try spicing things up a bit?
  • White Cheddar Stove Top Mac and Cheese – Have you ever made mac and cheese from scratch?
  • Peanut Butter Swirled Brownies – Since I’m craving peanut butter this week, I want to make these too!

Favourite Buys:

  • Madewell Side Lace-Up Cardigan – I love the detailing on this cardigan!
  • 7 For All Mankind Josefina Jeans – One of my all-time favourite boyfriend jeans, in a perfect medium wash.
  • J.Crew Ruffle Sleeve Top – This top is not only adorable, but it’s also a really great price point.
  • Topshop Alexa Bit Mule – Coming in at well under $100, these are a great Gucci dupe.
  • Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick – Yes, these live up to the hype!

    Great picks! I did see an identical black mule at Winner for $24.99! Didn’t have my size though! Boo!

    I love that you have a list of reads. There is something incredibly charming to me about a woman that reads!!! I love the first one about the girl who got taunted at Toronto fashion week. Funny enough the SAME thing happened to me (except I wasn’t as forgiving) at NYFW!

    Have a great week!
    xx, Belle

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!

2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card 2020 is the year of the handwritten, handmade card - at least, at my house! Actually, it’s more than cards being handmade these days 😌

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 🤪

I love how these little toques (aka: beanies) turned out. I also had a couple extras in a different yarn, so I added string and threw them on the tree!

BY THE WAY...I did that foot mask the other night and I’m eagerly awaiting what promises to be some satisfying results. #ifyouknowyouknow 😬

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 😏)
