Friday's Fancies

It was really great getting to learn that little bit extra about each of you in my previous post. To be honest, I didn't think so many of you would come forward to reveal what a major role books have played in your lives, so thank you for sharing.

Another week has come and gone, despite the four day weekend, this week has felt exceptionally long. It probably had something to do with the frigid weather we've been experiencing and the early onset of cabin fever. This weekend is going to be all about eating, sleeping and exploring. Who's with me?


Dark and gloomy mornings call for a breakfast by candlelight naturally. Lately I've been waking up craving hummus and pretzels, I mean it does fulfil all the requirements for a complete meal am I right? Protein (hummus)... carbs (pretzels)... dairy (coffee)... am I forgetting something? 



A pretty jeweled Ted Baker collar from my sister that I've yet to wear. I can't wait till it warms so I can layer it over tees and sweaters without the added bulky coat. 



Too cold to leave the house this week and today was no exception. Has the thought of licking icicles ever crossed anyone's mind? ... not that I spend every winter thinking about it. Really!



I couldn't help ordering Kate Spade's new coffee table book for myself.  I must admit, the gold gilded page edges was what originally sold me, but when the book arrived in the prettiest pink tissue paper that was custom designed for the book, I knew I was onto something. Packaging does makes everything. 

 

































Sometimes I think my toddler has a better wardrobe than I do. She's been clashing prints and colourblocking ever since birth. Never mind the mixed matched socks, corny slogan tees, and the odd food stains.

Wardrobe Diaries: Playing House

If you had asked me where do I see myself at this age five years ago, never would I have imagined myself happily married with two gorgeous little girls. Yet here I am in small town USA, living the life of an Army wife and raising our precious children. A world of difference from my previous life of city dweller/architect/foodie/urbanite. It's true what they say, "life happens to you when you're busy making other plans."  I love this crop top I picked up recently from Nasty Gal, the fabric is luxurious and the lace and silk combo gives it a vintage vibe. When it comes to clothing, I do believe in quality over quantity. Well-cut pieces in beautiful fabrics will never go out of style.

Friday's Fancies... Mother's Day Edition

Continuing on with the theme of Mother's Day I thought I'd dedicate this week's Friday's Fancies to the two sweetest little monsters to have graced my life and made it oh so eventful.

It's amazing how we all start out the same way- tiny, pink, swollen, and screaming for dear life. 


Flaunting my belly, yes I contemplated whether I should share this photo or not. I was known for not hiding under loose tops and baggy pants during my pregnancies. 


Sweet smiles from my little girls make all the sleepless nights and endless cleaning worth it.


My mum bought me this Tiffany & Co. pave ring to celebrate my passage into motherhood. I wear it on my pinkie as a constant reminder to set a good example for my girls.
