I can’t believe Christmas is less than a week away! Adam and I were both saying yesterday that we haven’t felt the holiday spirit this much in eons. I definitely spread the festive cheer VERY early on (we’re talking beginning/mid November) but this is the first time in many, many years that we’ve had a proper snowfall in Vancouver. It has been the perfect amount too, as we’ve so far still been able to maneuver through with our car when needed. Although, we just had another surprise dump of white powder overnight and Adam just informed me that it was so heavy that it snapped one of our windshield wipers. So today’s commute to the studio/office should be an interesting one. Fingers crossed that it doesn’t rain.
The only thing I do not enjoy with these freezing temperatures is the ice. If you follow me on Snapchat, you probably already heard the long winded version, but I slipped on the ice last Tuesday trying to get into my car. I was on a hill, ONE step away from the door handle, when my feet came up from underneath me, and I slammed onto the road with my tail bone and then my head flew back and my sunglasses and toque flew off. It really was something out of a movie, all very dramatic and painful. Of course no one was around to witness it, which I can’t decide if that was better or worse, and I was left to pick up the pieces alone. I’ve still been feeling the effects of the fall all week, will have to venture to my chiropractor and/or an RMT soon.
Right, but it’s not all about snow and ice, it’s also about holiday parties! My go-to look this season has been a mix of comfort and dressy, which these separates create when paired together. A cozy grey sweater tucked into a comfortable flared midi skirt is still flattering but allows room for dessert. With the amount of snow we’ve had, I’d likely wear this with black tights and snow boots and bring the heels! Hope you all had such a wonderful weekend and are enjoying your Monday so far xo
