White Christmas

{LittleFindsforChristmas}

White is one of my favorite colour, especially for holiday decorating. It's clean, it's light and it's delicate. The key, however, to avoid the cold boxy feeling is textures. Sparkly pillows, fluffy rugs and smooth ornaments keep the seemingly boring colour interesting and warm.

The Gentleman

Unfortunately, the art of being a Gentleman seems to be slowly dying. However, I never met a women who preferred if a guy didn't open the door for her, or one that hates a man in a well tailored suit. The Rule of a Gentleman gives men tips and tricks on style and character to become perfect gentlemen.

Cutie Pie

All exaggeration aside, I think this is the cutest kid I've ever seen. All I have to say is I hope my kid has as much style as this one.

Cozy Interiors

{Steven Gambrel}

If there's one thing I wish my house apartment would be is cozy. Maybe it's because I live in Canada and it's winter almost 10 months out of the year (I might be slightly exaggerating), but the last thing I would like to come home to is a boxy white ultra-modern interior. Brrr! Bring on the comfy blankets and fireplaces!

Cookies

It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I love the holidays! My absolute favourite part is the food. More specifically, the cookies. When I lived in Germany, they literally made 20 different kind of Weihnatchsplätzchen and gave them as gifts to holiday house guest. In our house, classic sugar cookies are a staple. Though we tend to limit our cookie baking to about 5 different kinds, sugar cookies are always a favourite.

Yum!

Festive Films

There is nothing better to put me in the holiday spirit than watching a Christmas movie. Although I'll enjoy almost any holiday flick you present to me, I do have some favourites.

My all-time favourite christmas movie has to be Home Alone. After I saw this movie, I thought it was wise to devise a plan in case some bad guys tried to break into my house. Luckily, I never had to resort to it.

Everything about The Santa Clause reminds me of my childhood. If my life was a movie, Tim Allen would undoubtedly play my dad.

Elf is probably the funniest holiday movie I've seen. "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite colour?" It makes me laugh out loud every year.

I find the holidays to be perhaps the most romantic time of year, and The Holiday illustrates this sentiment exquisitely. I mean, who wouldn't love to spend christmastime in a picturesque english cottage with Jude Law?

Love Actually gives me that warm fuzzy holiday feeling inside. Being a psych major, I love watching all the different relationships develop through out the movie...even though some of the story lines may be a little surreal.

The Ballerina Project

There is just something about the juxtaposition of the gracefulness of the ballerinas and the hardness of the city that captivates me. I mean, how many people do you know that can hang themselves from a fence so effortlessly or drape themselves over posts so attractively?

Golden Times

I am normally pretty plane Jane in my dressing, but the holidays have me wanting to go a just little bit over the top. Whether you feel like going bold with a golden sequined strapless dress or subtle with a simple but eye-catching cuff, gold seems to be the perfect choice to add a festive touch to any outfit.

Eat, Laugh, Sea

Welcome to Eat, Laugh, Sea. As I am currently going through some happy life changes, it seams like a good time to start my very first blog. This is a place for me to share things in my life that make me happy...because there is often too much unhappiness in our world.
