Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone and happy holidays!  The weather cleared up briefly this morning so we decided to go out and walk our dog Carmichael - the fattest Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever you'll find.  I love this area of New England because although it's very urbanized, there are little pockets of nature like the park we go to for walking the dog.  It's such a fantastic break from the exhausting hustle and bustle of downtown Montreal where I live.




Today I'm wearing a dress I recently picked up second hand for $15 (I'm a big fan of getting things second hand) and my old shrug that I love dearly.  The jacket in the photos is also my mother's - one of my favorite parts about being home is the ability to steal my mother's clothing and jewelry!  I give them back afterwards...normally.

So, I decided to try out this outfit combination the other day thinking that I wouldn't freeze my legs off.  I mean, they stayed on.  But I was itching to go home and throw on some pants, or like twenty blankets.  I have a low tolerance for these kinds of things - don't ask me why I moved to Canada. Speaking of my legs, were they always that white? (thanks, mom and dad) Also, can I just say - why is it ...

OOTD: North Carolina Vacation

I'm not sure which is more nerve-wracking: having your father meet your boyfriend or your judicious little sister meet your boyfriend.  This past weekend, I was down in Wilmington, North Carolina with my boyfriend Isaac.  Though my dad had met Isaac a few years prior in Montreal, the rest of my family had only encountered him through the wonders of Facetime.  So, this past weekend was a very exciting time given the fact that I have three younger half-siblings, grandparents, aunts, and cousins who all had to meet Isaac.  Thankfully (and not surprisingly) they all adored him as much as I do. On Saturday night, after a beautiful day on the beach we went to dinner downtown with some more family.  Isaac and I went for a little walk before dinner to snap some outfit photos.  Since only my extended family lives in Wilmington, I hadn't spent much time in the area on my own.  As we strolled along the tree-lined streets, I fell in love with the old houses a...
