(on sale and heavily discounted!)
Black Eileen Fisher pants
Lace top by Dex
Sweater a vintage Susan Bristol that I have had for several decades!
Vintage Ferragamo shoes
Socks by French Company Berthe
(mismatched hose which are rather fun to wear!)
Putting my best foot forward...
I love the detail at the bottom of the top.
We put up the tree and I unpacked some festive accent pieces.
We like to keep our decorations simple as the cats think they are play toys!
Chester still climbs the tree :-((
Finally had my hair trimmed...
its been ages growing the short style out.
Planning to grow it a wee bit longer still and with any luck it should be where I want it to be by next Spring.
The stylist used a flat iron to smooth out the waves.
We enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at my husband's staff party last evening.
Julie, my friend and recent travel companion, made a 7 course dinner for us all.
It was amazing and there were wine pairings with each course!!!
Hope you are enjoying the festive season so far...

What fun you are having. I like your black ensemble. And I am impressed that someone makes a 7 course dinner!
Ooh... I'm liking the new 'do'. You look tres chic. Happy holiday season.
How pretty this top is, I love lace and this one looks so good with your skin tones. The dinner sounds very impressive!
Happy Holidays!
That dinner menu sounds absolutely wonderful! Love the lace top and your whole outfit. I find that with longer hair, a flat iron is essential to minimizing the frizz!
Your hair looks lovely - I like it straightened like this. Your outfit is chic and elegant, as is your home decor and tree. Happy holiday! That looks like a scrumptious meal!
Julie doesn't do anything halfway she's a very talented cook and her home is an oasis of loveliness as is her garden! She's a wonderful hostess, everyone feels very pampered!
I like it too...I am going to see about buying a flat iron...it makes my hair so much sleeker looking.
The dinner was outstanding!
I gravitate to black clothing...I like being able to mix the different black pieces in my small wardrobe which gives me lots of options for different occasions.
Exactly...the flat iron works smoothing out the frizzy hair which makes it look more "done." Happy Holidays to you!
I like flat ironed hair for a change. Be sure to use a product when you straighten at high heat because grey hair gets a brassy look if its overheated. Your black tops are so pretty! You look girlish with your straight hair.
I love your haircut and glasses, you look like a teenager! Your blog is a place of comfort and joy for me, thank you!
How festive! I love your chic outfit and new 'do', and your house looks warm and welcoming for the holiday season. The menu is a thing of beauty to look at and imagine how delicious it must have tasted. Congratulations!
You look great and your hair looks wonderful flat ironed, so chic. I too love all black, and mixing textures of it. The dinner looks amazing. Glad everyone had fun.
OMG, that hairstyle takes at LEAST 15 years off! You look marvelous with the straight, simple hair. WOW!
Thank you Sheila!
Have you been to the consignemnt shop on Estevan Avenue in Oak Bay?
They have some lovely items in stock!
I purchased a product form the salon that protects hair from the heat by Bumble and Bumble. I like the sound of girlish!
Hope you are enjoying your holidays.
Oh you've made my day!!
Happy that you enjoy my little hobby blogging.
Julie really pays attention to detail...and it shows in everything that she does.
We all had a lot of fun at the party.
I hope to find a few more things to add a bit of christmas cheer to our home...they have to be cat proof items!!
I bought the flat iron this morning...and a thermal spray that protects hair from the heat. Bumble and Bumble have a few products that work so I am trying the Invisible oil and the Thermal Spray.
WOW! That would make me about 50 years old!!!
What a lovely outfit and I love the new haircut!
Thank you Jen! Hope that you are enjoying the festive season.
Wait... What?? I thought you were around 50 already...
Surely you jest!
I am retired and a grandmother of 3 lovely children!
