2016.10.17 Three Things

Did you know we are in the 42nd week of the year? Where did time go? We only have 10 weeks left of 2016. Here are a few things I have been googling lately.

Breakfast 
I'm in need of new breakfast ideas. I like these ones:

Look at all the Seeds and Nuts!

Make breakfast for all week in 5 minutes?

I also still make Pantry Granola and love it! I'm just trying to cut down my dairy intake and the granola goes just so well with yogurt!

Pillows

It's the season to get cozy, so I have been searching high and low for pillows (aka. I have bought and returned over a dozen). These are my favs:

Love the design and the muted colours.

Shibori all day

Pattern and pink? Yes please. 

Come on Hmong

Ski Sweater Pillow

Winter Boots

Here I'm at a total loss. How many boots are too many? What do you look for in winter boots? What do you wear to work? I really like the following boots, but I'm not sure which one(s) are the most practical...

For getting around the city... and to work?

Are these considered winter boots? Mild winter boots maybe.

Snowshoeing Adventures?

Wedge Winter Boots? Are these allowed?

I can't decide if the fact that these are called pillow boots make up for the look?

Coral Inspiration

Check out these beautiful coral inspired jewellery pieces. As long as they don't come in coral the colour I love them! (I have heard rumours that the colour coral is coming back....noooooo!)

The beautiful bracelet and necklace are from Nervous System....

These are from Esty seller LemonGrove

Via I'll Seen, I'll Said

These pieces are by Canadian (Toronto based) jeweller Alexandrea Schleicher...

Find these on her website here

For Every Girl on Your List.....

Since I can't shop up here at work, and I still have a few presents yet to purchase I have been browsing etsy for some ideas, so that when I return to town, I can make one quick and effective shopping trip and put my present woes to an end!

Here are some of my favorite etsy finds for all the wonderful women in your life....

For your nature lover friend who is calm and serene and always has candles burning, especially while doing downward dog every morning.

Billie Candleholders by jeanpelle

For your mom who can never find anything in her purse and ends up taking all the contents out just to find the right lipstick.

Purse Organizer by emidesigns

For your said mother who doesn't want a big purse because she can never find anything (see above solution) but walks out the door with a purse so full she can't close it and an old shopping bag full of 'other stuff'.


Sunset Leafy Tote by Mareri


For your hipster cousin, who claims that she can't pull off the plaid or the scarf look....


Cotton Scarf by cipolla

For your best friend who always rallies and comes out with you on Friday nights, even though it is pouring out and she has worked a 60 hour week. And she still manages to look fabulous!

Aliexis Clutch By ao3designs

For your grandmother who has a great sense of humor...

Wall clock from nakeddecor

For your cousin's wife who always shows up at family events, with fresh baking, hand made gifts, and a beautiful handbag that she 'just stitched' together the night before!
Amy Butler Fabrics from fabriccloset

For your best friend, who has a few too many nicknacks, and who wants to travel the world to evoke change...

Recycled Map Treasure Box by HocusFocus

For your sister who landed her first great job, and has rapidly made the transition from university bum to stylish professional.

Bubble Earings by visionquest

For your friend who stops you mid sentence to write down that 'oh so neat' thing you just said on the back of a receipt that also has her grocery list and the phone number of a guy from the gym. Or for your brother who keeps on getting marks taken off his assignments because of the doodles in the margins.

Moleskin Cahier by shoofly

For the confidant who always orders tea and constantly asks if you feel that chilly draft...

Pemproke Cowl by Yokoo

For your crazy friend, who meets you to go shopping wearing 1970s sweatpants (stylishly rolled up), 2-3 different coloured layers, an 80s purse....she makes comments about how expensive buying new is, and how much better fabricated items from 'back in the day' are, but still encourages you to buy those flats, because they look so good on you!
