moments & details #4 {Hometown}

Over reading week, I got the opportunity to go back to my hometown for a few days. My mother still lives there, as well as many dear friends. Here are some moments and details from the visit.

Happy Saturday!

A Black & White Christmas

12/25 {Happy Merry Christmas}

A very, merry Christmas to everyone! What a wonderful day!

This is my go-to Christmas dress. I think I've worn it around this time for the last three years now. Why fix it if it isn't broken, right? {P.S. Can I just say that spending time with Dad and Siblings is the best thing to do in the world?!?!?!}

Hairclips: Rikki's // Earrings & Necklace: Forgot
Dress: Rikki's // Bracelet: Etsy // Tights: Joe Fresh

Many happinesses to all of you on this day of Jesus' birth! I'll be back tomorrow with a raving description of Les Miserables. Merry Christmas!

Christmas Vignette

Don't worry, I'll be back later today with the 18th installment of Dressember {two posts in one day, wow}. First, I am participating in the Christmas Cheer Link Up over at A Thoughtful Place!

Not only do I get to hang out with lovely bloggers, but I get to feature my themed bedroom shelves (check out previous decor themes here, here, and here).

Today's theme is, obviously, "Christmas".

My favourite thing about these shelves is the fact that I can change them up whenever I want and however it suits me! Plus, this latest arrangement adds just the right amount of Christmas Cheer to my bedroom :)

Can't wait to see some of your entries!

Happy Tuesday and Merry Christmas!

Halloween Recap

What a fun party we had! Brother and I hosted a young adults costume party, and everyone delivered {didn't have to use my stash of costumes after all}. Lots of pictures to come on Facebook, but here are the highlights.

Best Individual Costume goes to . . . Isaac {Brother}/Two-Face

Best Couple Costume goes to . . . Sheri & Sarah/Despicable Me

Here are some shots of my costume {Katniss Everdeen}.

Also some decor shots . . .

 

In the end, it was a success and so much fun!!

Fact Is . . .

At the Kaos 91.1 skate party on Sunday afternoon.

Morning, kudos to Nicholl at The Chiffon Diary for this linky party!
Here are the facts on this snowy Saturday morning.

Fact: I am getting really excited for my Halloween party on Wednesday. I hope it'll be super awesome and full of fun costumes.
Fact: Don't even ask me how many times I have listened to Taylor Swift's new CD Red. Don't even. No shame.
Fact: I often travel all by myself. I have flown by myself so many times, that the couple of times I have been with people, I didn't know what to do with myself. Do you make constant conversation? Do you sleep on each others' shoulders? What are the rules?
Fact: Tomorrow is a very special day on the blog *insert big, mischievous smile*.
Fact: The best three female roles in Broadway are as follows: Eponine from Les Miserables, Hodel from Fiddler on the Roof, and Christine from The Phantom of the Opera.
Fact: I miss playing classical music on big, grand pianos. However, I don't miss the amount of time and effort that went into piano.
Fact: I often sing very loudly when I am by myself at home, which is a lot during the day. Hopefully, the neighbours can't hear . . .
Fact: I love the snow. Sorry, but I do.

Around the House {Halloween Style}

On Friday night, I had the house to myself, and I decided to have a little party-of-one decorating party. Remember that craft night I had last week? Well, here is the finished product.

Also an outside-the-house shot for your viewing pleasure.

What have you done in preparation for Halloween??
