Dress to Impress

Ok! So it's that time of year again where everyone starts thinking about the new year. The buzz of potential new years resolutions are being talked about, and the stress of trying to figure out what to do and wear for New Year's Eve begins.

Everyone who knows me, knows I absolutely love Christmas! I'm one of those annoying people full of holiday cheer who wants to share it with everyone! Personally I'm not a huge fan of New Year's Eve celebrations, it's a little overrated.

But on the upside of things I love any excuse to get over the top dolled up because I can...
it's NEW YEAR'S EVE!! Really all I care about it having my friends around me, a glass of champagne in my hand, and fabulous outfit on (forget the fantasy parties and resolution stuff)!

So what to wear on New Year's...

The holiday's is all about sparkle, and being "playful" with patterns. Black is a classic colour for a New Year's dress, but why not dazzle it up with some holiday colour?!?

Don't forget to finish your outfit off with some frosting...

Perfect time to get creative with make up, and use some colours you wouldn't normally use.

Don't forget your fingers.

I'm all about up-dos for the holiday parties

Hey Holidays!


Kat here!

I have been waiting for this day for weeks! The end of Fall semester {well, I still have one more exam on the 17th, but we'll just ignore that for now} and the beginning of DECEMBER!!

You all know what this means!!!

Now that school is finally over I can catch up on some {much needed} ZzzZZZzz's, crawl out of the hole that I've been living in {yes, that includes spending the whole entire night AWAKE at UBC at one point} and spend some much needed time with family, friends, and of course, our beloved blog.

We have so many new and exciting things coming up that we can't wait to share with all of you!

Life has been moving at an incredible speed {we're talking Mach 5} these past couple of months - I've met amazing new people, set some serious goals, and I could not be happier!

Wait I take that back...

Let's not forget that Christmas is just around the corner {*I've got some great posts planned!} and Vancouver is absolutely buzzing with Christmas cheer - from events to decorations to insanely busy shopping malls - the only thing we're missing is a little snow!

A very brief list of what I L-O-V-E about Christmas holidays...

- Family {my wonderful brother comes home for the break!!}
- Friends - glamorous ugly sweater XMAS parties!

- Treats {recently discovered Candy Cane Hershey Kisses.... I once ate a whole bag... yeah, I know}
- Robson Street

Enough said...

- EGGNOG - with chai and gingerbread from Starbucks {hi there, would you like Christmas in a cup?}
- Giving is better than receiving {that feeling when you find the PERFECT gift}

- Wonderful Christmas cards

Check out these beauties...

- Helping out {the holidays can be a particularly difficult time for others, but there are plenty of ways we can lend a hand... stay tuned}

- And how could I forget... Christmas music!!!

I know, I know, gimme a break I had to!

An oldie but a goodie:

What do you love about the holidays?


 Kat, xo.
