Ode to chocolate.

This is totally and completely aside from fashion, but I have a confession to make.

I am in love with chocolate. 

I have always been in love with chocolate since before I can remember. My first few steps ever, as I'm told, were for a Mars bar (side note: I now dislike Mars bars... interesting.) I love milk chocolate, but recently I have developed an appreciation for darker chocolate. There's something so satisfying about the richness in it.  I also love chocolate with other flavours - mint and orange are my favourite pairings. Christmas time bring some of my favourite treats such as Terry's chocolate oranges and After Eights. But aside from those flavours, I love almonds with chocolate, peanuts with chocolate, and even the mixture of white chocolate and milk chocolate.

It's too bad that trying to be healthy does not allow for a lot of indulgences, but chocolate is one of those things I won't be giving up.

Is there any food that you could never ever give up?

The deal with orange.

The lighting is a little weird on these photos ... some weird stuff happened in the editing. It's all a work in progress, my friends! I wore these shoes to work and got a bunch of compliments. Honestly, I'm so so happy I bought them. They make me smile every time I look down at my feet! Is that silly? Neverrrr.

I read an article the other day about whether the colour "orange" is just a trend, or if it's here to stay. At first, I thought "whaaa? It's just another colour...", but then I realized I have never owned as much orange as I do right now. It always reminded me of Halloween and I would NEVER have paired it with black (like I did here). Maybe it's the fact that I'm getting older and am less likely to notice holiday themes in my outfits? Or maybe because "Tangerine Tango" is the pantone colour of the year...

What do you think of orange?
