Friday night laundry night with my hand-me-down cart. #lifesaver
Once I finished hanging all my laundry, I started to clean my room and ambitiously decided to start a pile of clothes I'm ready to part with… and the pile and closet haven't been touched since then…
(more details coming soon).
Sidenote: I haven't seen this much space on the bar in my closet since before I moved in over two years ago.
Tacos with friends at 10pm.
Saturday morning Marco forced my butt out of bed at 9am--too early--to hit the gym. That said, a slight motivation was knowing I had some new workout clothes to wear--I said slight.
Photoshoot sesh on Saturday during the day--looks coming this week.
On Saturday night we had a horrible snowstorm and I had dinner plans for Melissa's birthday outside of town. I left early and took my time and was only a few minutes late.
We ate at Babbo's and I had a gnocchi, which was pretty good--I have this dish maybe once a year and always feel weird not having veggies or meat in my pasta, but always really enjoy the splurge.
…no, I literally woke up, brushed my teeth, threw on a beanie and went home.
Sunday was my best friend's family baby shower and I played photographer.
See the shower I threw for her HERE.
Outfit deets: Fun & Flirt top, Sirens pants (they are maroon), Liliana wedges (new!), The Bay necklace & Joe Fresh bangle.
On Sunday evening I went to a Superbowl party where the food and drinks were a plenty and everyone was cheering for the Seahawks and in turn, a very happy party.

Friday night dinner out with my boo. We grabbed some Vietnamese an impromptu Vietnamese dinner at Ox Head.
I picked up one of these wallflowers plugs from Bath & Body Works after work on Friday because while I love lighting candles almost nightly when I'm at home, I want the place to smell great to come home to. I picked up two bulbs in a spiced pumpkin scent (can't remember the actual name) that were on sale for $3 each, and allhough this plug is chic enough to be out on display, where my plug is, it's hidden.
Goofing around at the gym on Saturday.
I hit up Marshalls and ended up walking away with a ton of new workout gear--one item being this sports bra. I filmed a haul video on Sunday afternoon so that will be up soon. Are photos of interest to see the items too?
Saturday evening snowstorm.
We had a birthday dinner on Saturday night for my Grammy at their residence, which was amazing--the food is always top notch there. She looked amazing in her new top and jewelery. My Grammy is such an inspiration as she's always so positive, her life motto is to 'live each and every day to the fullest'.
I picked up this New York tee from Walmart, in the men's section for $7, and cut out the neckline and took off the sleeves. I will probably cut the hem aysemmetrically and wear this to the gym--I made it scoop low in the back--or under a blazer as a cool graphic tee.
Post gym #acolookdowns. It's been so. freakin'. cold. lately, I have been living in my Uggs to keep my feet warm and dry.
Sunday brunch--it's been a while.
I spent Sunday late afternoon and evening filming two videos: a make-up tutorial with the Naked 2 palette and the workout clothing haul. I'm trying something new with my set up since a friend has let me borrow a backdrop.
The final look after I finished filming the make-up tutorial.
Sunday night dinner with my chef boyfriend.
After dinner I edited my video and painted my nails. I used this new NYC Matte Crazy topcoat which was $2 and works well. I ended up later adding a French-tip-like strip of shiny clear at the end of my nails, which looks subtly cool.
Friday night pedicures with my bestie--so needed.
I threw on my favourite boots since it was dry outside with no sign of snow nor ice to head to my man's place later on.
A mishmash dinner on Friday night of take-out pad thai & Bourbon chicken.
Saturday early morning gym sesh; I ran for the first time in a while. My calves still hurt.
The fresh pedi with an awkward foot shot.
I spent the entire day on Saturday running errands in preparation for Sarah's baby shower that I was throwing on Sunday… except for a two hour break in Winners. I loved the cut and fit of these sweatpants--to wear with heels--but I couldn't get past the colour as I would really like these in a charcoal heather grey instead. I did, however, purchase the top I'm wearing (it's Vero Moda).
My favourite steeped tea getting me through the day.
Much, much later on Saturday night, once all baby shower preparations were finished, I slipped into some OTK boots and had an impromptu date night with Marco.
We went to Lonestar and on a whim, and at his suggestion I got a lime Margarita… and then I got a second one.
Sunday was the baby shower and it went perfectly. I was so please with how the table turned out, I worked so hard on creating and designing all the decorations. More pictures and detailed shots to come.
My outfit for the shower.
Outfit deets: Spense top (new!), Urban Planet leatherette leggings, Liliana wedges (new!) & Auslini bangle.
A sweet treat while watching Breaking Bad on Sunday night; a Wendy's frosty--mmm!
On Friday night I stopped by my sister's place to visit my nephew--ahhh, those cheeks.
Then it was over to my parents house for (home-made) pizza night. We used to have these every Friday when I was in high-school but bonus, I didn't have to grate the cheese this time.

After the gym on Saturday morning, I spent the afternoon prepping for the baby shower I'm throwing for Sarah next weekend. I had a friend come over and later she did my hair--even though I ended up staying in; who doesn't like having their hair played with, right?
Gloomy, rainy January. I'll take this over the -40C temps we had earlier this week.
After seeing a picture of potato wedges on Pinterest on Saturday night around 10pm, I decided to try my hand at them--because I needed to be eating that so late. I used this recipe but swapped in sweet potatoes out of preference. They turned out so good and I'm slightly ashamed to say I ate the entire batch.
Sunday morning post-gym sesh.
Outfit deets: Old Navy tank & Ardene shorts.
Sunday afternoon outfit.
Outfit deets: Dynamite leather jacket, La Senza tee, Sirens pants & Aldo boots (read about how I had the wedges on these shortened HERE).
Home cooking on Sunday night and multiple episodes of Breaking Bad--I'm hooked!
Friday evening selfie--let the weekend begin!
After work on Friday I took my time at home, made a chicken salad, edited some photos and relaxed.
Saturday morning at the gym.
Outfit deets: Tina Turner top, Lululemon sportsbra & Walmart leggings.
Post-gym panini's at Chuck's.
We popped into Space Man guitar store in the afternoon.
Role reversal: patiently waiting for him to try stuff on.
Outfit deets: Garage beanie, TNA parka, Zara pants, Spring boots, Aeropostale scarf & F21 cross-body bag.
I scored a few things super on sale at La Senza. Ladies if you need bras or sexy lingerie, now is the time--all their pretty, and fancy holiday items are deeply discounted.
Surprising find at La Senza, this cute gold embossed tee--love this under a blazer or as I wore it on the weekend: with leather leggings & a beanie.
Sunday morning at the gym.
I went to Marshalls afterwards to grab a couple things and impulse bought these by the cash--they are gluten-freee, organic and vegan mounds--so good, but pricey.
Late afternoon breakfast.
I picked up this L'Oreal Infallible gel liner as I find my Maybelline MasterPrecise liquid liner runs out super quick and am hoping I can use the pen from it in the gel liner. I gave it a go with the brush it came with on Sunday and while it will take some getting used to--as does liquid liner--I can see myself liking the gel.
Hope you had a great weekend, mine was pretty low key and relaxing and things you didn't see? About 12 episodes of Breaking Bad and pizza at 11pm on Saturday night. Cheers!
