stay indoors.


shirt.vintage.leggings.aa.shoes.asos.scarf.forever21.

the season of the glorious holiday parties.

I think up until christmas I have about 4 or 5 to attend!
SO much wonderfulness in one night.
friends. food. fun. laughter. christmas carols. nostalgia. cheer. hot drinks. fire places...

Everyone just seems that much happier.


And the fashion.
I think only so many holiday dresses can be purchased and worn.
I am also someone more into separates then one blingy dress.
That way I can take a simple pair of grey trousers and play around with them.
Some parties also lend themselves to a more casual attire ( chunky holiday sweaters + sequins anyone ??? yes. please.)
Therefore this year I am going to use my limited holiday wardrobe and re-use, accessorize and spruce things up with make-up!


I also bought the most glorious evergreen jacket the other day - so I am sure I will be putting it into good holiday use!
and this gucci-Esq scarf.
oh and my first time wearing leggings.
:)


My bestie snapped this on a splendid afternoon at chapters + starbucks.
With the temperatures coming to a halt outside, what's better than friendship. cozy couches. bountiful books + magazines & holiday sips!

leeselooks said...

mode junkie: yes coffee and couches! Thanks for your sweetness. the scarf is massive & so cozy.

stephanie: they do fit a tad small but I am hoping they will stretch a little. But other than that they are really stable + comfy!!!!

I am so spoiled with warm weather winters, but sometimes I crave some chill. It's hard to cozy up to a gingerbread latte when it's so warm outside.

Quality over quantity, huh ?

simplysteph said...

you are sooo going to have to post your outfits for them Christmas celebrations. Agreed with everyone. The shoes are killlaaa. and it is tres interesting... you are one of few I encountered that actually enjoy mall crowds. I had to read "christmas shopping. asap. i love the crowds!" about 3 times because of that comments rarity.

leeselooks said...

THANKS LOVELIES!!!

the shoes are super-pumps.
and i bared them walking to and from the store!!! ;) crazytown. only a Canadian!

they might still have them at asos.com so check them out!

oh and the jean shirt- super 90's and I got it at a vintage shop for 3 dollars. yay.

50two: The SCARF is from forever 21!!! And it has glitter interwoven in it. Subtle sparkle. Go check it out.

simply steph: THANKS GIRL! I am a tad crazy.
I think I just love the CHRISTMAS RUSH + hoiday spirit more than the long lines & crowded bodies. But it is only once a year so I remain cheerful through it all.


thanks amazing bloggies.
you guys shine like no other.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
have fun last minute shopping ;)
LIKE ME!!!

Jordan said...

Jenny Cindy said...

Wow, those shoes look so hot on you. I don't think I could walk 10 meters in them so kudos to you for being able to wear them out an entire afternoon! You look lovely dear, I love the fact that the oufit is so simple and comfy and then -dang!- there come these killer shoes which add a nice touch of glamour to it.

I wish my best friend were here to come to starbucks with me and have cozy afternoons >.< She's currently overseas so I have to do with my male friend who are not that into fashion magazines and coffee =P

M. said...
