it's christmas week!!!  

(this is what i've been running around squealing to everyone for the past 2 days)

yesterday we had our staff christmas luncheon, where we all bring in a gender neutral prezzie, and draw names.  it's a chinese gift exchange (i think), where you can either take a wrapped present, or steal someone else's.  it's a hoot.  i scored an awesome Second Cup gift basket full of hot drinks and chocolates.  which is the gift i wanted.  it'll keep me nice and warm over the upcoming cold weather months.

have i mentioned i'm totally smittin' with this bow in my hair?? i could wear it everyday.  i have a feeling i'll be ordering it in other colours.  had some difficulties getting it to stay in place when i first tried it out, but with a bit of practice (and back-combing), i've got it now!  you can look forward to seeing it appear in this weeks upcoming christmas week posts. :)

ps. it's hump day. we've made it past the first half of the week that leads to my favourite day of the year: christmas eve! whoop!!

could i BE wearing any more clothes??
i'm basically in love with layering, if you haven't noticed. teeheehee

as i'm sure you can tell, i had a hair appointment last night.  i know, it's obvious every time i have one, because something is always different.  my bangs are shorter, due to the fact that i'm terrible at trimming them, and i wanted them to be a decent length for next weekend.  and my ombre bottom is a bit darker.  which i love.  i've been going a shade darker for the past few times, slowly getting braver and getting it smack on this time!  

also, i received me double velvet bow from red velvet yesterday!  had a bit of an issue getting it to stay in my fine hair, but after a helpful email from sweet emma, i got it!  it looks yellow in these pics, but it's just the lighting.  it's a nice cream, perfect with my green dress for christmas eve!! (my favourite day of the year).

happy wednesday!
