Tartan































Tartan:

Plaid, tartan and checkers… I associate all of these prints with the holidays, as my house is always decorated with colourful christmas motifs and ribbons in red and green. This outfit is the epitome of Christmastime for me, with a cozy fisherman sweater and my favourite piece, tartan pants. The pants are from my mother’s infamous pant collection, where I can always be sure to find an array of j. Crew trousers in an assortment of textiles, colours and prints. Although I am quite a bit taller than my mom and these pants are probably supposed to be full length on someone petite, I think they look just as cool as capris. Throw a black fur collar into the mix, a Langdon Hall forest background and a sprinkling of snow, you have a perfectly casual Christmas outfit. Happy holiday season!

Black, Gray and Red all over












Black, Gray and Red all over:

First semester is complete! It feels like I just started and now I'm already halfway through my first year of university. Even though time has flown by, so much has changed and grown in my life in these past months! I miss the city already, but it's really nice to be comfortably nested at home. A big change is driving again (as opposed to only walking and transit for the past couple of months), and I've already driven down a one-way no-entry hill and cut a man off in traffic so you could say I'm just getting used to it again (although admittedly, I've never been the best of drivers and have ran my fair share of stop signs). This shaky driving is evident in the pictures above as my little brother photographer tried to take pictures on the way home, which actually turned out. My outfit is pretty basic with a knit turtleneck, black high waisted jeans and a felt hat but it's practically my uniform at school so I figured it was a must-blog.
