I just finished baking a cake for Merle’s 10th birthday which is tomorrow. I can’t believe she will be double digits. Can we freeze it for a bit? Because this time flies shit is insane.

She wanted a chocolate cake with cherry filling between the layers which meant that I had to bake instead of buy. I used this recipe and substituted the icing in between the layers for cherry pie filling.

We shall see how it tastes.

Building winter capsule wardrobe can be an easy way to find your style. If I sit back and reflect on my personal style over the last 2+ decades I see a lot of changes, but the core seems to have stayed the same.

I also notice this same trend when I am building my capsule wardrobes.

There are a certain set of items that I always include because I personally feel they are wardrobe staple pieces.

What I Wore This Week

Roo (my teenager) woke up today with a stuffy, runny nose and a slightly sore throat and of course I am freaking the eff out.

She literally has not left the house since this new lockdown started two weeks ago, and Tom gets tested at work every Monday for Covid, so I don’t know where she would have contracted it.

I’m leaning towards a cold.

The Realistic 2020 Winter Capsule Wardrobe

When I say realistic 2020 winter capsule wardrobe, I know that is not going to be applicable to the life of every single person. That’s an impossible endeavour.

I use realistic loosely, as it applies to the lives of people who work from home, stay at home moms, people that are in perpetual lockdown or tight restrictions, and people who just sick and tired of wearing loungewear for the last 9 months.

It’s still not quite winter yet, although the weather has felt like it for the last couple of weeks.

SHOP THE POST

As I was going through the shops online picking items for the winter capsule wardrobe this week I noticed that a lot of the pieces were on sale.

We have just entered the biggest sale season of the year and it looks to be even bigger this year due to everything that is going on.

It also started much earlier this year than in years past since there are so many places that are still unable to do in-person shopping.

Online has become the biggest christmas shopping drive by default.

SHOP THE POST

Twas the night before lockdown and all through the city…..people were once again hoarding toilet paper. Assholes.

I can’t believe they are doing this again.

Literal lineups for grocery stores all over the city when they are not even closing. It’s funny how people never learn.

Actually it’s not funny, it’s sad. And frustrating.

So here we are again.
