Cozy Cottage

Cozy Cottage1

Alone in her tiny home the cottage owner sits and drinks her tea. While many would question her station in life, she cannot be more content. She spends her days busy with her work and puttering around the little cottage. She listens to the chatter of her fur babies as they meander in and out of the house seeking their own adventures. Her nights are filled with quiet solitude as she prepares a meal or two and then sets to working once more on the next days tasks. Looking around the cottage one can tell the home is filled with love event though it is may be small. Alone she sits drinking her tea.

Nostalgia

Nostaglia

Oh how I love this room, it reminds me of something I would have seen while my parents were growing up at home with their parents. It reminds me of a time when life just seemed simpler. It makes me feel nostalgic as I seek out pieces of furniture from the 70s. Perhaps I am just an old soul seeking the memories of my youth, but I could spend all day in this room imagining what it would have been like to grow up during a simpler time.

Just for a Moment

I have not been feeling overly well and yet I still push through my day not complaining or telling anyone. I am the individual you will ask are you ok and with a smile upon my face will tell you yes, while inside I am not well. I have been exhausted and fighting a bug and today decided to sit for just a moment or planned to at least. I ended up falling asleep for an hour or so. So much for resting for a just a moment.

Overall Opinion:

I fell in love with these pants the minute I saw the advert and knew they needed to part of my closet. They scream comfort and relaxation. I paired it with a favourite comfortable top to pull together a relaxing look as I just snooze away the hours in the arm chair. The pants come in a number of colours and the top comes in three other colours as well. You will not be disappointed.

The Sitting Room

The Sitting Room_main

Down a dirt road, over a covered bridge nestled off the path stands a cozy brick house. At first glance the home looks no bigger then one floor, perfect of the solitude life of a country hermit. If you are lucky enough the owner will invite you in for a drink where you will be amazed by the space inside. Inside the house, I was impressed with the sitting room and the carefully laid out decor.

In Your Eyes

Another day comes to a close as we prepare for another Christmas party, this time out for drinks with friends before we depart for our various family events over the next two weeks. I stole a few moments to enjoy your embrace and to get lost in your eyes. It was our moment before we got lost in a sea of smiles and well wishes. Before we lost sight of each other as the men gathered before the television and the women chatted about the lack of attention from the men.

Overall Opinion:

This is the perfect cocktail dress for over the holiday season, festive green and super cute. I decided to paint my nails a dark green to match the bottom of the skirt while highlighting the lighter green in my jewelry. I topped the look of with an equally adorable pair of heels (that have become a new favourite of mine).

Have You Seen My Slippers?

Fall nights beside the fire hearing the embers pop as they are heated and burnt away is a soothing sight. Reading a good book and getting lost in the pages as you travel to far off lands and meet new individuals that spark strong emotions. As the book ends and the fire dies down, you make your way off to bed to dream about the things you long for. Morning comes to soon and I am left sitting on my bed thinking about what is to come and where my slippers may be since my feet do not wish to touch the cold floor.

Overall Opinion:

I have a certain level of comfort for what I put on myself. When I saw this thermal set I was not overly sure what I would think or how I would feel. I was thrilled when I put it on and realized it was more to my personal taste. I love how it has a fall feel to it. The little leaf pattern reminds me of warm fall days watching leaves fall to the ground. They are warm and super comfortable.

Out for Drinks

I was invited to spend sometime with friends recently. I took this opportunity to just spend time with others and enjoy the conversation as it unfolded. We talked the night away as we reminisced about how we met, what we have been up to and how long it has been. We enjoyed our conversation over drinks and a great amount of laughter. I need more days like this with the people I love.

Overall Opinion:

I absolutely love this outfit. It is simple and cute, not over powering, but elegant in its’ own right. It shows that I am concerned with how I look daily and that I take pride in presenting myself well even for just a drink out with friends and family. The shoes are stunning and give just of adventure; that I am ready for whatever life may throw my way. Now the necklace gave me just the right splash of colour that draws you in to see the tiny details that the designer put into this gorgeous piece (also comes with earrings that are not seen here).

I Believe in Monsters

I am trying to get into the Hollowe’en spirit this year, but having a very difficult time. Hollowe’en is my favourite time of the year, so I am finding this rather upsetting. I have tried shopping for new decorations, visiting areas for inspiration and looking at displays on Google. Nothing seems to be working. I find everything cute and scary, but I don’t feel the same this year. Maybe I need a need a good scare to jump start the thrill.

Overall Opinion:

I love when clothing is versitile and can be used in a number of ways not just with the intended outfit. For example the pants I am wearing were originally part of an outfit that I was not overly keen on. Instead of getting rid of the entire set, I realized that while I did not like the top I loved the pants and kept them tucked away for the perfect time to wear them. Along came my monster top and I grabbed those pants and a new outfit was born. One that is seasonal, but fun and comfortable at the same time now that the weather is cooling off.

Sorting the Mail

I am a creature of habit and I am not sure how many people realize it. I like things to be the same every day, with the same routines taking place. I am like this even on the weekends, with a few exceptions that I do not engage in like going to work. Every Sunday, I walk down to the mailbox and bring it home to sort. I put each item in a pile and toss the flyers and random junk letters you receive. I grab a nice warm tea and head out to the back room to read over the letters and various bills. I am a creature of habit.

Overall Opinion:

I love this dress! After a few body modifications, I got the right size to fit me with out having odd gaps. It is perfect for work or play. I personally chose to wear it around the house while I tended to my pets, plants, and enjoyed some alone time while I did work from home.
