A Very Green Winter

We had our very first Green Christmas this year, which was a little disapointing, however, my closet was certainly happy. Prolonged layer weather means less time bundled up under a stuffy coat and more time to play around with different pieces! I love how well this slip from UO and dress by Free People work together! "Layer Weather" suits my style and creativity most because it allows for the most options! Getting creative while keeping warm makes getting dressed fun and gives my wardrobe more use than any other time of year. I always start with basics: tights with socks and boots. Then I begin layering, for example here I have an eyelash lace slip from Urban Outfitters underneath a floral dress by Free People. To keep the wind at bay, I added mix-matched plaid with this red plaid jacket and plaid infitity scarf and a hat for good measure! Layering allows for the mixing of different patterns and textures that make for more lively outfits !

Forest's first Christmas

Forest's First Christmas is certainly one I will always remember. Christmas Eve brought the most intense winds of the year coming in at 90km/h but with no snow in sight (I had my very first green Christmas). Storm warnings were being broadcasted and we ended up losing power right before dinner...my parents ended up finishing our Christmas Eve dinner on the barbeque and we ate in the soft glow of Candlelight. The air seemed eerie, but Christmas magic returned when the power turned back on later that night, right before we siblings exchanged gifts. We were all completely emotional, especially being touched by my brother Jager's heart and kindness. Having the whole family together, on this completely bizarre yet wonderful day made this Christmas one of the very best one's yet. Forest so enjoyed being surrounded by the love everyone has for him and we can't wait to see what next Christmas has in store for us!

Light snow & 90's florals

There's something about this floral maxi from DressLink that I find irresistable. Perhaps it is the way it is reminiscent of my parent's old wallpaper from the 90's? Regardless, it was a welcome piece in my closet and I look forward to seeing the many different ways it can be styled with passing seasons! We are finally getting snow, though the air remains mild enough for sweater weather and minimal to no layers. This is my favourite winter weather!

His eyes: still that baby blue but seem to be darkening

Hair: Golden Brown, his eyebrows are more noticeable and he has his dad's thick beautiful lashes!

I can't believe how lively and hilarious he's getting to be! He is so full of life and love, his positive energy is wonderfully  contagious! Playing with him is so much fun, and he loves making us laugh! He's started sitting up on his own, mastering flipping from front to back and vice versa as well as his crawling movements. He still treats a bottle like a teething toy and is obsessed with his Dad which is simultaniously adorable and annoying, haha. He is a drool machine and is cutting his very first tooth at the bottom front! Every day is new and happy and wonderful, watching him grow and become this full functioning tiny human is so entertaining and rewarding. He is so beautiful!
