CHRISTMAS MORNING IN TORONTO!

This morning I woke up to packed stockings, coffee and my smiling husband. This was our first Christmas celebration in Toronto and we made it fun in our own special way. 

Decorated our stockings with "Space Invader" inspired stickers from IKEA.

Our new "his and her" mugs we found/bought at Chapters/Indigo.

We opened our stockings first and I had two of my favourite UK fashion magazines; InStyle and ELLE January issues. Also packed into my stocking was an aqua business card holder also found at Chapters/Indigo.

I had two presents under our Christmas tree. The first gift I opened was Marc Jacob's latest fragrance, DOT! DOT is a refreshing yet beautifully floral scent made up of; Red Berried, Dragonfruit, Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Coconut Water, Orange Blossom, Vanilla, Driftwood, and Musk. It's to die for!

For our main gifts Nathan and I managed to find each other the perfect leather gifts from Coach. It was really a meant to be miracle, we found EXACTLY what we wanted for new shoulder bags and they were in the same cost range! There was no surprise because we went shopping together, but it was torture to wait 2 days to bust them out!

My new Coach Legacy, Archival Rambler Shoulder Bag in Black Cherry.

I adore this shoulder bag, it's really perfect for me!

In addition to gifting N8 a leather shoulder bag (for work), I also gave him a LEGO Architecture model. I was happy to purchase the Guggenheim model as it's one of his favourite museum's. 

RALPH LAUREN FALL 2012 RTW

Speaking of Ralph Lauren, here are my favourite looks from the Fall 2012 collection.

LAUREN BY RALPH LAUREN PAJAMA'S

Personally for lounge wear there is nothing more sophisticated than matching suit pajama's, if the pattern also matches your personality. I was thrilled to both find these "perfect for moi" new 100% cotton lounge suits at the Bay! New pj's have been on my shopping list for months so I was excited to score this gorgeous lounge wear.

These pajama's are sooo nice to wear that on Sunday's I can justify wearing the top! I wish I was wearing my watch and bracelet in this picture, I feel/look naked!

MY CANADIAN HERITAGE SCARF!

One of the pluses to having your Wedding Registry at The Bay is that if an item is discontinued the alternate options are very comparable. We were suppose to receive two Heritage style pillows from The Hudson Bay collection, but instead we ended up picking out a scarf accessory each from the Fall/Winter 2012 Heritage series. Nathan picked out a 100% cashmere scarf for himself, and I choose this beautiful 100% silk, sky blue, Canadian Heritage scarf :)

ENJOYING THE FALL SEASON IN TORONTO

I can't wait to carve this pumpkin!!! I think N8 and I have decided to carve a scary face where the mouth is big enough to hold a small pumpkin inside it, so it will look zombie-cannibal like. The only Halloween traditions I take part in is pumpkin carving, baking the seeds, and handing out candy to trick or treater's. 

I ate at an Italian restaurant, Mirto this past week and when I was there I spotted a Football shout out to my homeland Saskatchewan :)

Fall dressing, holiday dressing, friends, family, and traveling are my favourite parts of the holiday season. Nathan's birthday is coming up so we are planning a trip to our friends cottage for the weekend. We are really excited about it, can't wait to get out of the city for a few days for extreme relaxation :)
