Girls Winter Weekend Getaway

Sometimes you just need getaway with your best friends
and enjoy a long weekend doing pretty much, nothing.

We drove north for 2 hours to this beautiful lakefront chalet in Brechin.
It had just snowed and everything was perfectly covered in white,
making for the most picturesque weekend.

 With floor to ceiling windows,
I watched the sun rise every morning
(because I was always somehow the first one up)
with nothing to obstruct my view.
I loved it.

After walking on water (true story) in my winter faves
(my Maje coat, Cougar boots, Nike tights and Toque from HMP boutique)
and exploring the lake,
the girls came out and joined me

We spent the weekend eating, drinking, talking,
relaxing, playing games like Speak Out
(I spent more time laughing than speaking, or attempting to),
playing in the snow -there were at least 3 snowball fights,
and laughing so hard it hurt.

Spending time with them brought me back to me
and gave me abs (from non-stop laughing)

If you’re looking for a mini getaway
a winter chalet is so much fun!

Have you been to a chalet before?
If so, did you just stay in or did you venture out?

Leave me a comment and let me know!

Walkin’ In a Winter Wonderland

There is nothing prettier than a fresh snow fall.
The city is blanketed in white with almost soundproof like snow
and with Christmas Eve exactly a week away,
there is nothing I want more than a white Christmas.

I took a break from the madness of Christmas shopping
to host a dinner for my closest friends.

I headed to the cheese boutique
which is actually my new favourite place and
bought 6 kinds of cheese because go big or go home, right?
From triple cream brie (my new found love)
to lactose free lappi cheese,
I made sure I had something for everyone.

We ate, drank, laughed, snapped
(opting for the deer filter because what could be more fitting),
did the mannequin challenge- successfully
and called it a night at 2:30 am.

We all get busy, especially around the holidays but
it is so important to make time for the people you love.

What are your holiday plans?
Are you celebrating with family, friends or both?

TB

I have said it before and I’ll say it again.
FOR-EVER- a tomboy; I can’t help it
especially with this weather
and on this day in this outfit I felt so damn cute;
finished with a top bun? I mean…
I feel like pebbles from the Flintstones lol
except I live where its -26..

If you look at my feet you will see
my new addition to my evolving shoe collection.

I picked up these MUCH NEEDED Cougar boots two weeks ago
after almost freezing my toes off one morning
in minus 26 degree weather… 😐 – true story; it was painful

So now, I have these stylish, comfy and super
warm boots that I wear with almost everything!
Annddd the lining of the boots on the inside
are red fleece- which may not make a difference
to some but makes all the difference to me!

So there you have it, another Tom-Boy look for the books.
I love this look, do you?
Let me know what you think 😀

Boots: Cougar
Jeans: Kenneth Cole
