Hey guys! Do you ever wake up and wish that you could extend your weekend by just one more day ..even though the day has not even started? That's kind of how I felt waking up this morning … it was raining .. the coffee was ready (thanks to a wonderful invention called the automatic timer).. and I just wished I had one more day in bed to look forward to that involved a little bit of lounging and sleeping in…. don't get me wrong.. I love going to work but sometimes when you get a little taste of a long weekend … haha… aka having Thursday off…. sometimes you just wish you could have one more! Anyways, it felt good waking up today to a less cluttered life considering I had done a massive cleanup which involved a lot of reorganizing and packing up things to donate … opened up my laptop this morning ....marvelled at how much “junk” I had that I really didn't need … all the while eating my glazed donut and double double coffee in bed :)
Around lunch time J and I grabbed some takeout Thai food and of course… I am like a kid in a candy store when I see a Starbucks … J pulled over his car and I ran in to get my peppermint mocha … I have to enjoy it while its here because after the Christmas rush… no more :( ..but than again, that may be one of the reasons I love it so much … a semi-exclusive drink that comes with Christmas time!
I finally got out of my “lazy clothes” and decided to put on something with a little bit of colour ..I found this poncho at Value Village …its funny because when I was younger I would tell my mom that I would never wear a poncho… and here I am … I love the length and size – its not too long or oversized so I dont feel lost in it…I might look around for a couple more! I also rarely get the urge to bring out the red lips but today after going through my makeup drawers I rediscovered my Revlon Crimson lipstick (the one that comes in the black quilted looking packaging)– which has become my favourite red – it is not too bright and garish which I find a lot of reds are .. this one is so perfect! I think I will be wearing it a lot for the holiday season – it just “gets me in the spirit/mood” if you know what I mean! I am putting the tree up next week – I know its soon but I want to drag out the season as long as I can – so it starts with next week – we have already started talking about who is bringing what to the Christmas potluck which my family and I do every year
Hope you all had a great weekend!

The lipstick looks really good in this post. :) I don't know if it has to do with the colors in the poncho going well with it or if it's the change in lipstickcolor.
The world 'poncho' usually strikes fear in to my hear but despite all my preconceptions, this one is absolutely delicious. I am a huge fan of all things tartan so this knitted number really hits the spot. Overall an immaculately chic winter look. X

Great outfit,you are always so stunning.
your hair and poncho look amazing! That lipstick is now on my need-to-buy list next time I pass by the drugstore
your make up looks amazing, you look great with red lips. i had no idea they even made chains like that for boots! i'll definitely have to look into that further. hope you had a good weekend!
I felt the exact same way about the weekend last night! And it wasn't even Sunday. One more day would be so nice!
I love your poncho and your makeup looks lovely. I really like the red lipstick you're wearing!

I just want to start off by saying I love your blog! :) Also, I love the peppermint mochas too! I wanted to let you know as a fellow lover, that they do have them year round. I found that out last year. You just have to ask for a shot of peppermint. If you so choose, you can have the magic year round! :)
That second picture of you is stunning. I love the way you're connecting with the camera.
You look beautiful. Gorgeous lip color on you! I'm now wanting a peppermint mocha! I'm addicted to those. Hope you have a great week!
Great look! As a fellow Torontonian, I love to see where you pop up. Next time you're at Riverdale Park (that vista is one of my most favourites in the city!), you should try the Rooster Coffee House right across the street. Fantastic indie spot that us neighbours love to visit.
gorgeous outfit!
Lipstick looks awesome x
I love the poncho and I especially love the fact that it is thrifted! As soon as I saw it, I quickly scrolled down to see where it was from. Did you get your hair dyed too? It looks a little lighter and I am loving it!
I know what you mean by extending the weekend by one more day. I woke up this morning excited because next week is a 3 day work week & 4 day weeked (it US thanksgiving). lol.
I love how you've mentioned the peppermint mochas in the last 3 post haha...they must be AMAZING!
i do like your scarf and it is fashion
Soooooo gorgeous. I love the red lips (but am too chicken to try it myself) - it goes so well with the whole look. To me, the poncho looks like a high end vintage piece. LOVE!
And I thought of you when I was at Starbucks the other day. I was inspired to try one of their flavoured lattes - I went for the caramel brulee but I think I will try the peppermint mocha next time!
Simply amazing!!! I like the chain of your boots.
I'm not too sure if you would consider this good or bad news, but I also would wait for Peppermint Mochas to come out for Christmas time. That is, until a friend of mine started working at Starbucks and told me that you can order this drink any time of the year. The ingredients are always around!!
Ciao ^^
I like the poncho.
kisses from Italy, and if you want, visit my fashion blog, u'r welcome

Poppy - its a little sad isnt it - haha... why does it excite me so much?!
anon 1:33 - a couple of you guys mentioned this to me and my "exclusive" Christmas drink I gues is exclusive no more :p.. haha... I am still thinking about whether this is a good or bad thing... I will probably still only get it at Christmas :p ...its tradition - thanks for letting me know :)
i think ponchos great. Those gloves are totally rad! Your hair looks really good too.... I like your expression on the second pic
You look fabulous! I love that poncho!
