These photos were taken on Christmas Eve in Vancouver, exactly one year after Mr. AiF popped the question (remember?). After the deed was done and I dumbfoundedly said yes, we had a really lovely lunch at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, with me paying far more attention to the new ring on my (shaking) hand than the incredible Indian buffet in front of me — memories. Since then, we decided to make it an annual tradition to visit a Fairmont Hotel in whatever city we happen to find ourselves in that day, pretending to be fancy over tea or (let's face it) the all-you-can-eat buffet. These photos are the before shots from said buffet excursion... You're welcome. xx

So for something completely different from yesterday's post, I bring to you — drumroll please — the back alley. That's right my friends, I like to spice things up like that. 'Wow, how original! What will she do next?!' you ask in disbelief? Stick with me kids and there could such exotic oddities as gravel in your near future. xx

Well here's a sight you probably never expected to see around these parts — faux leather sweat pants. In my defense, I was overcome by the sheer novelty (at least for me) and awesomeness that is these pants while hunting for holiday wear yesterday (but that's a story for another day). I sheepishly tried them on — half in disbelief over my selection, half in shame of my new-found admiration for shiny sweats — and scurried over to the checkout counter before I could change my mind. And you know what? Turns out I'm kind of in love with these ridiculous pants after all... Sorry, not sorry.

Happy Monday, friends! xx

{Style} Layers + Lims...

Six friends, three Target locations and one pumpkin spice latte — that's all it took to score my entire Phillip Lim wishlist, ladies and gents. If I'm not mistaken, I think that's what they call a winning strategy... Either that, or a stage five, point-of-no-return, OCD-fuelled shopping addiction. I prefer the former.

Soooo, did you guys have a little fun of your own on (*ahem*) Phillip Lim Day as well? Fill me in on what you got! xx
