Coffee date #3... Things are getting serious.

Right? Isn't the third date the make-or-break-it sort of thing? If you pass date #3, you mean business? No?
Whatever.
Welcome to coffee date #3.

I will answer some of your questions from our last date, and then I'll ramble as usual.

Emily of Tinfoil Tiaras asked me what my favourite guilty indulgent snack was...

These. These are my favourite guilty indulgent snack. Side note: I know these photos are mirrored and I'm too lazy to correct it. Anyways, at least they're dark chocolate, so I don't feel AS bad. But I have some of these every night. Probably doesn't help that the bag is Costco-sized...

Melody of Happiness & Love asked when I'm coming to the NY area. Well, Melody, it will happen when this happens: When I get ...


Again with the darn mirrored photo... When I have more money I'd LOVE to go back to NY. A few years ago I did a NYC trip and it was awwwwwesome. But it's expensive :(

I've been getting some comments on my iPhone case. I got it from an etsy shop called Scribbles and Stripes. I wanted something a little funky, especially for my (at the time) new iPhone 5. The store sells cases for iPhone 4, 4S and 5 and they rock.

You know it's Sunday when you actually take the time to make a proper breakfast. Weekends are amazing.


This morning I made french toast with Nutella, strawberries and bananas. Is it weird that I didn't make coffee and we're having a coffee date? Should be more like a "breakkie date"...


Either way, I bet I just made you jealous.

Until next time! If you have any other fun questions I'd be happy to answer!
Hope your weekends have been stellar. I get to go paint now. Shoot me. But not actually.

Crayola.



This outfit makes me feel a bit like a crayon.
I think I'm channeling spring with this one.
I better be channeling spring.
Not sure how much cold I can do before I shrivel up and die.

TGIF! 

This weekend's casual.



Oversized shirt.
Jeggings.
Chunky scarf. 
Sweet boots.
Comfy jacket.
Printed hobo bag.

The perfect weekend outfit for running errands.

Man-style.

Living in Ottawa doesn't expose me to much great man-style.
It makes me a little sad.
But when I see a well dressed man on the street, at work, or wherever, I notice.

Men, LADIES NOTICE.
Well, not all ladies.
Some ladies like their men looking like construction workers.
But I prefer mine to be well dressed. Groomed. Looking good.

If you share my like for good man-style, here are some treats that I found on Pinterest.

Oh hey you. Not sure I like the moustache, but I'm loving the earth tones, and that fabulous jacket you got goin' on is rocking my world.

Simple. Casual. Kind of perfect.

Yo dude, not sure what you're doing up in a tree. But you're really working those layers.
Is that plaid I see? This is a total man-yes in my books.

...Do you like your men stylish? 

Guilty pleasures.



All this time I've hated uggs and ugg-like-boots. Hated them.
Until my place-of-work carried their own version of them.
I was asked to try them for fit.
And they were incredible. 
I felt like I was walking on clouds.
There was no turning back.

I still think they're ugly as hell. But on days like today, when it's cold and freshly snowy,
they're the perfect thing to keep my feet cozy and warm.

Single on Valentine's day? 5 reasons why it rocks.



Single on Valentines? 
nbd! 

5 Reasons why it's great to be single on V-day:

1. You can buy yourself a fantastic gift. None of these disappointing "this is for both of us, babe" gifts. Like an extra controller for the xBox, or a grilled cheese maker. Buy yourself a real great gift, one that you know you'll love.

2. You can return the gift. If you decide after a few days you don't really want, or like it, you can return it without hurting anyone's feelings. The freedom to change your mind is wonderful.

3. You can have anything you want for dinner.  If you're totally into the five-course meal deal, make yourself one and drink lots of wine while you do it. If you would like tacos, get take-out. And drink lots of wine while doing it. Its up to you and only you.

4. You can buy an entire cheesecake for yourself. Yep, you can. No man will eat half of it before you get a chance to have one slice. Isn't that the most annoying thing?! Well, as a single girl you don't need to worry about that shiz. Also if you gain 5 lbs from said cheesecake, who's gunna say anything?

5. You can do anything on Valentine's day wearing sweatpants and no one will judge you. That's right. No one. If you prefer, you could wear no pants. And then you'd really be getting the party started! Note: the no pants thing is likely to happen after all that wine. 

Ahhh to be single. This post does not make me anti-Valentines... I would just like to remind the other lovely singles out there that today is a great day for us too. LOVE YOURSELF FIRST.

Have a good day everyone :)

Mistfits.



I liked this outfit.
I pulled out pieces from my closet that I hadn't worn in a while,
put them together,
and voila. 

Except these boots.
I've been wearing them a lot.
They rock my socks off.
But not literally.
That would be cold.
