I also love dressing up for festive parties and mingling with old friends. I hope you were able to enjoy it as much as I did.

Winter Things - Afternoon Tea and Chirstmas Lights

Hey there lovelies! One of my many holiday traditions is going for a festive high-tea. I feel like high-tea is a great experience to share with your loved ones and during this time it is also great excuse to also dive into the holiday season as many tea-rooms offer a holiday selection. If you haven't tried it before, I highly recommend it! It gets pricy, but is a great treat for a special occasion. 

The hunt is finally over for a warm black coat! I found this one at H&M! During this time of year, H&M releases coupon codes as well as special deals to save some money on regular-priced merchandise! I scored mine for $88CAD! I also love this coat and this one (though they will probably be discounted if you wait for Boxing Day)!

Burgundy Love - Leather and Winter Knits

Hey there lovelies! It is so close to Christmas and I can hardly contain my excitement! I have to say that this time of year is one of my favourites for many reasons. I have a love affair with soft textures for starters. I love filling my spaces with the softest textures one could possible find and snuggling in bed with a warm beverage and soft onsie. I think its the cozy element that these elements bring, who's with me?! 

My wallet may not be happy with me, but I love scoring fabulous deals during this time of year! I also love the feeling of gifting the perfect present for a loved one. Nothing is better than finding something for someone that is unexpected, and they didn't even know they needed.

Fall In Love with the Season

Hey there lovelies! My favourite part about this season aside from warm fluffy socks and hot chocolate is the seasonal colour pallet. Fall is one of the prettiest times of the year and I definitely had to take advantage. My outfit was inspired by the changes of the season. I love faux fur for this time of year as a layering piece and a textural decorative element.

Picking Him the Perfect Gift for Christmas

Hey there lovelies! The holidays are among us and as we are in the midst of fighting to crowds to pick out the perfect gift for that lovely someone I've put to gather a series of guide to take the pressure off of finding the perfect gift. If you haven't already read my post on What to Get the Girl Who Has Everything, go check it out after you read this one.

So you have a man in your life who seems like he has everything or he is a simple guy and needs nothing. Well I got you! I've been in this position for years. When I go shopping for gifts, i happen to buy more gifts for myself than for the person I am giving a gift to. I often wish that guys had just as many options as females do -- like makeup (I have and endless list of favourite products I'd love to gift a gal pal). As a girl who loves fashion and makeup, I did not feel like it was my jurisdiction to tell you what a guy would like so I went to the sources themselves. In this post I have recruited some insightful males to collected ideas on finding the perfect gift. 

1) Google Home Mini - Smart phone lover, meet the smart speaker. This one is just a fun gift and a great conversation starter. "It's like siri for your house!"

2) Casio Men's Black Analog Anti Reverse Bezel Watch - There are very little things a guy can accessorize with; thus, a watch can be a great addition to his wardrobe. 

3) Kindle E-reader -  This one is perfect for the bookworm. For the guy who loves to chill by a winter fire, or lounging by a beach with a book in hand. Its compactness is great for traveling and a perfect companion for on the go or to pass time.

4) CB3 Fit Sport Wireless Earbud Headphones - If he does not have a pair to go with his new iPhone yet, this is a must! A pair of wireless headphones are not only convent, but perfect from the guy who travels or even the guy who likes going to the gym. This is also perfect for the gals too! 

5) Holy Stone HS170 Mini RC Quadcopters Drones with 2.4G 4CH 6 Axis Gyro - Okay, as a blogger and somewhat of a photographer, I even want this myself. Boys love their tech toys, so why don't you get him a something he can mess around with!

6) The North Face Unisex Etip Glove - This is a great one to show him that you knew what he needed even though he didn't know himself what he needed it. I think a scarves, gloves and beanies are a given for this time of year, but why don't you take one step a head and get him gloves he can still use his phone/electronics with. See, I got you!

7) A planned adventure that you guys could do together. My male sources tell me that most guys are simple and like spending time with loved ones most of all. Instead of a material gift, you could plan something for him and you to do all day -- whether it be as simple as ice skating and dinner at his favourite restaurant and then driving around town looking at Christmas lights or something like tickets to a sporting event you both could got together. If you're feeling a little fancier a voucher for a trip somewhere where you could explore a new place together would be a great gift. 

I hope you found some inspiration and some ideas on what to get the guys in your life.
