Runs on Coffee and Cream

It's cold and snowy and winter is officially here. To top it off, we've had furnace issues so our house has been extra cold. I'm living in extra thick socks, sweatpants, and giant sweaters. I'm finding every excuse to snuggle under blankets and I'm coaxing Seymore to come snuggle on my lap.

I've been on the lookout for comfy sweaters to add to my wardrobe for the upcoming cold months I have ahead. These are my favourites:


Clockwise from top right:
1. Meowy Catmas from Look Human
2. Cat's All, Folks from ModCloth
3. Shawl-Collar Cardi from Old Navy
4. Merry Xmas Things from Look Human
5. A Cozy Touch Sweater from ModCloth

I hope you're staying warm!

It's the weekend before Halloween! Time for pumpkins, mini candy bars, and dressing up!

To celebrate this holiday, I put together some of my favourite Halloween things right now:


Clockwise from top left:
1. Spell on Wheels - a new comic book series that just sounds absolutely fantastic. It's described as "Supernatural meets Buffy and The Craft".
2. Dark Night Leggings - I think this pattern from Sweet Legs is gorgeous and would be perfect to wear with a witch costume and then with every dress I own.
3. Haunted Castle Mug - Davids Tea released a great Halloween collection this year and I'm so loving the Haunted Castle mug and travel mug.
4. Current Mood: Halloween Pullover - As usual Look Human has some fun Halloween-inspired designs which are perfect for this time of year. I would definitely wear this sweater throughout October.

What tops your favourite Halloween things now?

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Look Human designs. Their love of cats, wine, cuddles, and coffee have won my heart over. 

Happy first day of Summer! This past weekend has been a scorcher. We spent Saturday evening eating ice cream and hanging out at the beach. I went into the lake, but only up to my knees because the water is still incredibly cold.

With Summer here, I decided to make up a Summer wish list - s'mores, sunglasses, iced tea, cross-body bags, and flower vases definitely top my list right now.


1. S'mores tank from Look Human
2. Sunglasses from Kate Spade
3. Vase from Chapters Indigo
4. Ceramic mason jar from Davids Tea
5. Star Wars purse from Dooney & Bourke

What tops your Summer wish list?

This upcoming weekend is a long weekend for Canadians and it symbolizes the beginning of Summer for most people. A lot of people head to the cottage or trailer for barbecues and campfires. Then you typically end the weekend with fireworks. We don't always have plans for this specific long weekend but this year we have some fun things planned and I'm really looking forward to it.

Because of the long weekend coming up and the beautiful, sunny weather we've been having, I'm in a Summer-mindset. I'm so ready for it!

These are just a few things that scream 'Summer' to me. I'm ready for camping, bonfires, road trips, cold treats, and sunny days!

Are you ready for Summer?

5 Fandom Friday Info

This week's 5 Fandom Friday is a fun one because I'm constantly looking for geek clothes, accessories, and gadgets!

Let's get to it...

1. TeeFury



I'm sure you've heard of at least one of the many websites that sells geeky t-shirt designs for a 24-hour period and then they disappear (until another site sells the same design at a future date). I've been addicted to these sites for years now and have bought some super awesome geeky mash-up shirts. TeeFury tends to be the site I buy from the most. I'm always squeeing at their designs.

2. Hallmark



A little weird, right? Not anymore! In the last couple of years they've started carrying geeky things - Itty Bittys and housewares (mugs, picture frames, etc.). And they're all SO cute! Their Star Wars merchandise and Itty Bitty line keep me coming back.

3. Teeturtle


Teeturtle is a Canadian company that makes cute geeky designs to print on t-shirts, hoodies, and socks. Their designs are super adorable and I kind of want everything on their site.

4. Look Human


I was introduced to Look Human a couple of years ago through social media. One of my twitter friends would post the cutest Sailor Moon-inspired tanks and I had to know where she got them. Look Human! They have an amazing collection for cat lovers and coffee addicts so the company has won me over. But their fandom designs are what grabbed my attention initially. I also finally got one of their Harry Potter-inspired 'Always' tanks for Christmas this year!

5. EB Games aka GameStop



My husband has a video game addiction and I also dabble in video games myself. This has me visiting an EB Games location almost weekly. I'm pretty sure our local store employees could recognize us anywhere. Slowly they've been bringing more items into the store besides video games.... Pop! Vinyl figures, board games, Nintendo Christmas ornaments, t-shirts, blind boxes. So now the store has become even more appealing to me.

What are you favourite geeky stores? I'm always looking for new places to check out!

5 Fandom Friday Info

Hello! This past weekend was Toronto ComiCon and what do comic conventions usually do? Make me want to buy all the things! I was pretty good in controlling myself with purchases but I have a giant wish list for future conventions and for my birthday this Summer.

1. There were so many girls (of all ages) dressed as Rey at the convention and it has me wanting to try her hairstyle and wear this dress from We Love Fine.

Companies really know how to market to their customers. I've been receiving emails from Look Human, Davids Tea, Bath and Body Works, and Old Navy (to name a few) with Spring-themes! From light and fruity teas, to shorts, to floral candles, and camping t-shirts - I'm wanting everything!

Look Human

The latest email from Look Human was their road trip/camping collection. And as usual, I kind of want one of everything.



Davids Tea

This past week I went to the mall and stopped into Davids Tea to smell and check out their Spring Collection. The teas I thought I'd want from the collection initially weren't the ones I came home with. It's funny how smelling the teas in person can make a huge difference, rather than basing your picks off the name and description. I cannot stress enough how amazing White Nectarine is. The smell and taste is exactly like a ripe nectarine. The other teas I fell in love with were Melon Drop and Fruits of Paradise. Maybe it's because I'm wanting Spring so bad, but all the fruity teas were winning me over.



What are you loving now?

One of my favourite things to do is to try different coffee and bake shops. This is because of a couple of reasons: 

Christmas is two days away and I'm feeling pretty excited about it - all the family visits, eating yummy food, exchanging gifts with Adam, stockings... it's always a fun couple of days.

Now, if I could pick out my ideal Christmas Day outfit, all of these items would top my list!

This week the weather turned to Fall. The last couple of nights have dipped to the negative temperatures and the daytime highs have been quite chilly. We went outside a couple of days ago in jeans and sweaters and we were both still cold.

I'm not complaining though. I love snuggling up in giant sweaters and blankets when I'm at home. And using the cold weather as an excuse to drink as many hot drinks as possible makes me happy.

Tomorrow is September and that means Fall is around the corner! Eeee!

One of my favourite things about Summer is camping and being forced to spend time outdoors. Yes, I say forced because even though I love being outside, I get distracted indoors by my computer and television and couch. So when we go camping, I spend all my time outside, unless it's bedtime or raining.

These are some of my camping essentials as far as clothing and accessories go. I wouldn't mind adding some of these exact items to my wardrobe too...

It's no secret that I'm a cat lady and love my two furbabies like crazy. Both ModCloth and Look Human only feed my cat obsession with their cat-themed clothes and accessories.

I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!
