#sweaterweather is more fun when there are nice sweaters to wear. #lclaurenconrad #kohls #ootd #sweater #staywarm

I realise I’m pretty lucky to have my partner since he doesn’t judge me too much for my #shopaholic ways. My #lclaurenconrad for #Kohl’s order was waiting for me when I arrived at my father-in-law’s!

You're in my heart, always, Ottawa. #OttawaStrong #OttawaShooting 📕🍁📕

Thinking of you, #Ottawa. Hard to imagine that such a terrifying thing could happen in my hometown. My prayers are with you all, and my heart, too. Always. #OttawaShooting #OttawaStrong

It's a headband kind of day, today. #socold #winteriscoming

It was a hard decision, but I said no to Aritzia's Talula Park Slope vest that I've been coveting all month, and opted for this more wallet-friendly version from H&M that retails for 55% less!

Thankful for so much this year! I am grateful for my family, my friends, my job, but most of all, this year, I am thankful for my husband. #Thanksgiving #Canadian #TurkeyDay #GiveThanks #GobbleGobble #Fall #foliage

A new obsession of mine is #lipstick, and particularly, #MACcosmetics lipsticks! These shades are Flamingo and Snob. #makeup #mac #cosmetics
