Blankets

I know I know, when I posted pictures from the BeautyMark and Joe Fresh events you were all really upset that I didn't post outfit photos from that day. Well wipe away those tears my friends, because here they are.

This skirt is like a blanket. Why haven't I been wearing blankets as clothes my entire life? I think I need a snuggie to wear to Christmas dinner.

Joe Fresh Gets Festive

 I don't know about you, but to me, the fact that Christmas is only 35 days away is both exciting and scary. I always love a few new sparkly pieces to wear over the holidays but I know that buying gifts for others is the priority and staying on budget is a challenge.

Luckily I'll have the opportunity to attend some holiday shopping parties in the upcoming weeks and I'll get to share with you all the amazing deals I find. Today I'll be sharing what I discovered at the Joe Fresh Holiday Preview and trust me, it was gold (gold sequins to be exact)

 {Nail polish $4 (3 for $10), mini lip gloss set (6pcs) $10, individual eye shadows $4, more prices available on joefresh.com}

 The holiday makeup palettes were stunning. I had no idea that Joe Fresh makeup was of such great quality and the colors were beautiful.


{PC Holiday serveware with silver pine branch decal: Rectangular platter $12, Set of 4 small round plates $10, sugar or creamer $3 each, Set of 4 mugs $10, cake plate $10, star salt & pepper set $3, square dessert plate $2, set of 4 embroidered napkins $9, Metallic printed placemat $4. more prices available in store}

 {Holiday pillows $8 each, Solid color decorative pillows $14, slippers $9, more prices available in store}

To allow us to see all of the holiday products PCHome and Joe Fresh had to offer this season, the penthouse in False Creek's Kayak building was decorated solely with these pieces. Aside from it being obviously stunning (the view? I mean come on), the holiday decor resulted in such a cozy and inviting atmosphere that a few of us bloggers were tempted to move in.

I ran into Jen (pictured above) while exploring all of the goodies in the bedroom and closet and Olivia (below) while drooling over the makeup.


 {Clothes: nordic sweater $69, gold sequin shorts $69, silk shirt $49, sequin striped tee $29, metallic sweater $29, cashmere v-neck sweater $69, nordic leggings $29, puffer jacket $79. Shoes: bow flats $39, gold brogues $79, lace up wedge bootie $79. more prices available at joefresh.com}

I loved that all of the Joe Fresh clothing was hanging in the closet because for some reason it was easier to pretend that everything was in my closet look at. The men's, women's and kid's collections were all of really high quality and the colors will be perfect for winter.

If you're like me and looking to finally start decorating your apartment for Christmas like a grown up or want to get dolled up for the holidays without breaking your holiday budget, Super Store will be the place to shop.

I think my favorite part is that I can walk in and buy a Turkey and a pair of gold sequin shorts at the same time. Amazing.

BeautyMark Holiday Shopping Party

 {find candy cane here}



I'm a huge fan of BeautyMark so I was excited to explore their new location in Yaletown. It's two floors of everything a girl (or guy) needs to look their best. I was especially excited to start my Christmas shopping. I stopped by their Holiday Party with Jen (of Prairie Girl in the City) and we both found some fantastic gifts for our loved ones. I spoiled myself with a pair of fleece lined tights... my legs are going to be toasty warm this winter!

If you're in Vancouver make sure you stop by BeautyMark's new home. You'll never be able to believe they fit all their amazing products into their old location!

If you're not in Vancouver don't fret. You can order their products online at beautymark.ca and there is US and International shipping available.

Did I just give you all the easiest (and best) way to get all of your Christmas shopping done online? I think I did.
