First of all I want to thank my readers for all your sweet comments in my last post! I'm so glad you liked the makeup looks my cousin Lisa created. I answered all of your questions in the comment section of that post and if you have anymore questions for Lisa about anything, like what products she recommends, make-up industry questions, etc. please do as I'll be putting together a Q & A with her shortly.

Did you all have a good weekend? Don't they go by way too fast??? I hate that! I'm really looking forward to taking some time off in two and half weeks just to relax and enjoy the holiday season. This is what I wore yesterday to run some errands and do some shopping. It was quite warm and beautiful out, I really did feel like I was in a Winter Wonderland yesterday with the beautiful trees draped with snow, all the Christmas lights everywhere, the holiday music playing in every store I walked into...I love it all! I am proud to announce that I'm done ALL of my Christmas shopping except for one person - my boyfriend - who is the hardest person to shop for. (Anyone else have this problem???) It doesn't help that when I ask him what he would like he tells me to save my money and put it in my RRSP account. Grrrr... I have a couple of ideas though...

So I got this Kensie cardigan at Sears a couple of weeks ago because I'd been eye-ing it for weeks. It was expensive but I was so in love with the fit, the color and the print it I just sucked it up and bought it. Luckily for me, a week later it went on sale for 50% off so I went back to Sears and they adjusted my bill and I got cash back. So I went to Sephora and spent that money on some makeup. Oops.

Have a great start to your week!

That is a great sweater - so perfect for cuddling up in the winter. I've also finished all my shopping except for my husband (who is also really hard to shop for) - but I always have a lot of fun shopping for him so it will keep occupied for the rest of the month.

I like your sweater and omggg yes boyfriends are the hardest people to shop for. because everything they want are like electronics over $300 bucks its not like they're like us who get excited over a coat or a necklace lol

Jessica said...

You look great, Marie! I love that ring. And I have most of my Christmas shopping done as well! Doesn't it feel good to have it done before Christmas Eve? Haha sometimes I procrastinate, but this year I've been on my A-game!

Unknown said...

I'm totally going out to buy that sweater! Love it.

Catita said...

Isn't great getting money back and being able to re-spend it on clothes or make up in your case! And I see the weather seems less chilly or were you just being brave? Cute cardi!

Wow I didn't know you could ask them to adjust the bill and get cash back... probably depends on how nice the people there are but what a great idea. I love jeggings with boots. Do you - at some point when it gets really, really cold - need to wear tights under jeans?

Marie a la Mode said...

Cafe Bellini: Yes, when it gets really cold out (like -25 degrees celsius) I wear tights under my pants. I don't want to freeze my patooties off!

ale said...

it looks like it was such a beautiful sunny day, I love the sunny weekends too, too bad they're too short as u said.
you look very pretty in this outfit and you have a perfect body too, do you work out or have a special diet ?
kisses

I love the sweater!!! Looks great on you!!!

KRISTY said...

gorgeous sweater, M!It's really the center of attention! And your tinkerbell bun pulled the look together. Very clean and chic :D

Yes, shopping for the bf is very challenging (and I thought I knew him inside out!) But thank God we've agreed to not buy each other a Christmas present so we can save up for a puppy next year. Boo yeah :D

Alexandra: Wow, thank you! I do Pilates twice a week and the gym or a Yoga class once a week. I used to teach Pilates - about 8 or 9 classes a week but I haven't taught in a long time...

Tamera said...

LOVE the cardigan!!! And the whole outfit! You look so great!

Kate said...

I love the cardigan! I can't believe you got it at sears!! I had seen it online before (piperlime, and maybe somewhere else) but I never thought to check sears! You look lovely! And good job with the Christmas shopping... I would say I am only about 30% done. I LOVE that your boyfriend says to put the money in an RRSP instead. Hilarious, and oh so practical!

Kate said...

Oh yeah! And meant to comment back re: Joe Fresh! You got the dress! Gah! So jealous! I still haven't been able to track it down, I don't think it's in my province at all. I have my sister in Halifax on the hunt for it! SO pretty, can't wait to see you sport it on here!

this free bird said...

The sweater looks really great on you. I love that cool, comfy look.

Kim Axani said...

Did you really get that sweater at Sears?! WOW! I love it on you =)
That's awesome, I didn't know you could take back clothes that go on sale and get reimbursed - smart!

SiSi Sparkles said...

Always very cute! I LOVE that cardigan :D
It was like 29F today... too cold for me >.<

Love the boots and ring. I got a turquoise ring when we visited CA and I LOVE it! xo

Nikosmommy said...

Great look! Perfect for shopping this time of year when it's cold(ish) but seriously bright and sunny out!

Did I mentioned that you have amazing cheek bones? (was just looking at your makeup pics from the last post again!)

Hope you survived monday ...have a great week!

Love the ring and sweater!

Ashley said...

Apparently our climates this weekend were not the same, because it was absolutely freezing here (and still is)! I wish I could wear this outfit of yours out right now, but I would die. For realz. But you look adorable! Love your booties.

And hey, any money spent at Sephora is money well spent. No oop's allowed!

Anahita said...
