So yesterday my BFF won an all-expense paid trip to Vegas for four days and to see the iHeartRadio music festival.  How cool is that?!  They called her on live radio and told her she won at 8am yesterday morning.  They woke her up.  What a way to be woken up!

Naturally she was taking her husband with her...until he realized the dates conflict with something work-wise and he can no longer attend.

So she picked me to go with her instead.

WHAT!?

We are going to Vegas in a month!

I. Am. Stoked (and grateful!).  Can't wait!  I've never been to Vegas and this cannot come quick enough.  How crazy is this?  We are officially on a shopping ban until then.  Wish us luck.

Vegassssss.



Another summer evening, another night of fun.  

My girl friend and I got together two nights ago and had a bbq chicken quinoa salad (she brought the quinoa salad, I brought the chicken, it was a mish-mash of what we could find in our fridges) and we sat outside and enjoyed the balmy evening weather after work.

No drinks this time, instead we had some refreshing lemon water and for dessert she grilled up some peaches and served them over the creamiest, most amazing vanilla ice cream.  Such a summer treat!


 We went to see Katy Perry 3D on Friday night.  Super good movie & very interesting.  
I could have skipped the 3D part of it, but it was still cool.

 Afterwards, we went out for beer & pizza on a packed patio.

 Saturday I ran around prepping for Sunday's Bridal Shower for my sister.
Outfit deets:  Old Navy top, Sirens shorts (new!), Bamboo sandals & Gucci shades.

 The veggies & dip I made for the shower.

 Special gifts for the bride-to-be.

This happened last week, and I only shared on Instagram
but it's so fun, how can I not share here too!?
 
Ended up going out Saturday night at the last minute with a 
bunch of people & danced the night away. 
Outfit deets:  H&M top, DIY denim shorts, DIY Aldo wedges & Old Navy clutch
 
 My new dress for the bridal shower & J.Crew bubble necklace.

 Amazing lemon-blueberry cupcakes by one of the bridesmaids.

Champagne showers...
 

The tradition in our family at bridal showers (my sister).


Continuing with my Canada Day weekend recap, I wanted to share some cool snaps I took with my real camera including a zodiac ride with just us girls, beautiful scenery, the Canadian Coast Guard, neon pink toes (that we all, by fluke, showed up with) and millionaire mansions along the St. Lawrence river.


Happy weekend!
Continuing with my recap of last weekend, I spent Canada Day (July 1st) and the next day on a boat in the 1000 Islands.  My friend Sheona's parent's have a boat (her dad built it 20 years ago) and we arrived in the morning and spent the day swimming, eating and relaxing.  

That evening, there was a firework show across the river which we watched while roasting marshmellows.  We slept on the boat and went cruising the next day and got to see all the million-dollar mansions along the water (I'll share those photos later).  

This was my first overnight boat adventure and I'd love to share some photos with you:
Outfit deets: F21 top, Lisa Curran bikini top, Star shorts (via TJ Maxx) & Promise sandals

Outfit deets:  American Apparel Le Sac dress (won this), Gap bikini, Walmart (g21) 
sunnies & Rampage hat (via TJ Maxx in Florida)

All photos taken with my iPhone 4s.

...more (camera) photos to come.
