{Wearing: Aritzia Peacoat, Barefoot Contessa Toque}
I guess now that it's finally December I should embrace the cold weather and stop traipsing around in blazers as my outerwear and freezing my buns off (okay, we all know that isn't going to happen).
Last week I spent a few hours at Barefoot Contessa on Main street and put together a list of my favourite gift ideas for the mom's, sister's, best friend's and event hostess' in our lives. I loved my picks so much that I purchased a pretty amazing bundle of gifts for my loved ones (hear that people in my life? you're going to love your gifts!). I wasn't going to buy anything for myself, which is a ridiculously difficult task when you are in a boutique like Barefoot Contessa, but I couldn't resist this darling button toque. It's just so warm and girly. Their entire collection of toques was just lovely. If you're looking for some gift ideas head over to Barefoot Contessa and see what I picked out! And even if your sole purpose for shopping is gifts, I approve buying a toque for yourself... just sayin'.
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have an amazing weekend (I will be at work). What do you all have planned? Any fun Christmas activies?
have a great weekend Melissa even if it's at work! Barefoot Contessa is always a fun place to shop, for yourself or for gifts. I like that their prices are totally affordable and the super girly things they have there.
ReplyDeleteI'm checking out the vancouver christmas market, then dinner party at my house, and brunch at houseguest on sunday.
Such a cute toque! And it has been cold here the last couple days, but don't you agree it's been gorgeous out?!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteThe toque is so cute, love the button detail.
Had a fantastic night out with you last night, you are just the best date!
We will definitely need to start wearing more season appropriate clothing like this toque now that it is actually December and getting sooo cold!

Oh Melissa, I'm going to have to politely ask for you to stop being so insanely pretty and stylish. You're putting the rest of us to shame! ;) I seriously love this hat on you and I'm still in awe of your gorgeous dark hair.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I approve of this purchase;-)

Aw haha so cute. Loving that toque on you, it's such a great little piece! I know I had to majorly restrain myself when I was in there, it was almost lucky I only had a few minutes to figure out my picks otherwise I would have gotten stuck buying for myself. Hope you had a great weekend love!
