Outfit deets:
* Forever 21 coat (old) which I'm wearing layered a thrifted jacket I have (which you've also seen in an outfit post)--see how I layer my jackets HERE.
* Urban Planet leggings which you've seen here and also in olive green.
* Accessories: Ardene glasses, Aldo cross-body clutch & Joe Fresh gloves.
Yipee, today is my Friday! I took tomorrow off as I'm going to be shooting a video with Place d'Orleans at the mall and will be busy filming all day. I'm excited that I get to sleep in a little though beforehand and catch up a bit.
What are you all doing for Valentines'/Singles Awareness Day? I personally am a fan of the day, but I know not everyone is. Marco and I are going to keep it fairly low key this year since we have some big expenses coming up with the move, and I'm hoping for one of his amazing home-made meals with a bottle of wine... and maybe an episode or four of Breaking Bad.

Outfit deets:
* Costa Blanca tweed-ish jacket that I've had for years. Is a snug fit so I have to suck it in to close it, but I love the weight and colour. I've worn it before with blue as well and a turtleneck under a dress.
* Joe Fresh dress (new!) that has a cool 'drapes/curtains' look and feel to it (also came in black and white). The fabric is super heavyweight and the fit is kind of strange (roomy in the mid-section) but I liked the mod-ness of it, plus it has pockets.
* Bamboo otk boots that I have worn as my commute-boot all winter long and previously seen with jeans and a grey, thrifted jacket and also in a shopping post.
* Aldo wedges that can be worn with or without the ankle straps and that I have worn to death since getting them. You've seen them with black skinnies (without the ankle strap), with denim and a leather jacket and with a pretty salsa dresss. I also have them in brown seen here with layered tights and an olive ruffled skirt I love and with white skinnies.
* Accessories: H&M bangle, gifted square bangle, Pandora bracelet & Bay ring.
Welcome back Monday!
That is all.
Have a great day!
I stopped by Value Village a couple weeks ago and had tremendous luck, this jacket being one of (three jackets) I picked up.
It's from H&M and a size 6.
It had a couple stains on it, but I noticed the tag said it was machine washable so figured it could be worth a shot. When I got to the cash, I mentioned the stains to the cashier and she gave me 30% bringing the price to a whopping $10! When I got home, I washed it (without any stain fighter) in the machine and it came out as good as new.
New jacket love all up in this piece.

I'm feeling uninspired so no words today. Hope your Tuesday is great, though!
I'm loving lately mixing my masculine leather bracelets with girly bangles

You guys! Something totally exciting happened to me on Monday night. As some of you know, I do Zumba and have for two years. I absolutely love this cardio work out and as a former dancer, it's awesome to be doing choreographed dance again (unlike when I just randomly dance around the house).
Back to the story exciting-ness.
So I'm in class on Monday, waiting for our teacher to arrive. The class is set to start at 4:30pm, and there are about 30 women waiting. Well, 4:30pm came and went and still no teacher. A few minutes later, an employee of the gym told us our teacher was no where to be found and we could wait, but class would likely be canceled. As we all stood around feeling defeated, one woman pointed at me and said, 'You should teach the class!'. Another chimed in, 'Yeah, you're really good,' and then another, 'Yeah, do it!'. Next thing I know, I'm fetching my iPhone from my locker and hooking it up to the stereo system in the class, jumping on stage and teaching an hour long zumba class. What!? I know.
Urban Behaviour trench
This sweater has been getting tons-o-play. I bought it on Boxing Day (50% off for $50) and it's definitely been a go-to... funny how this is the first time I've photographed it (blogger fail).
So it's about that time of year: I'm seriously craving a winter vacation right about now. Everyone is going away down south to get away from this frigid weather and I'm stuck here. I guess it's getting more and more mild but I can't help but daydream about going somewhere sunny. Even my parents are on vacation saying things like, 'You're sure you can't just fly down?', and, 'It's not the same without you'. Seriously painful.
However, we aren't taking a winter holiday this year as our friends (and former roomates) are getting married this summer in British Columbia and we will be traveling there (side note: so excited for this as I've never been and have always wanted to go), fun 'eh? And get this, the bride and groom are staying in town after the wedding to play tour guide to all of us (aka, the friends) before heading off on their honeymoon (um, thoughtful much?!). Are any of you going away this winter? (Or are you one of those lucky people who live in a warm climate year 'round? PS, I hate you).

The lobby of the hotel we stayed at during our weekend away was so beautiful I asked my mom to snap these shots so I could take advantage. We stopped at H&M on our way into town and despite packing my 'party' outfit, I ended up rocking an entirely new outfit instead. Enter my new H&M finds. Jeans. Dress (worn as a top). Blazer. Yipee!
Today is the day my match-making efforts come into play. I have set up a good friend of mine with someone I work with. I'm pretty excited they are going out this evening, totally cute. Who knows what will stem from this, but either way, a fun night for both I'm sure. I personally have never been set up, have you?
Lastly, I know someone anonymously asked me what these boots looked like IRL on my Christmas Goodies post. While I've worn them quite a bit, I never snapped any shots of them (oops!). Next time maybe I'll just twit-pic the request. Do you follow me on Twitter?
I found the most amazing boots from Aldo that I have begged husband to buy me (for Christmas). These are not them. These are my second place pair. The ones I reeeeeally want are a tad more expensive (and up until about two seconds ago when I checked, they were sold out in my size - but are now back in stock, I'm having a small heart attack right now!). I've dropped every hint in the book to husband about them, and by hint, I mean blatantly telling him how badly I want them, every other second and showing him numerous pictures. I don't think I'm going to get them, I just have a feeling. In other shoe news, I totally impulse purchased these on Monday. Such a great price now and I need a new commute boot (aka what I like to call the boot I wear to and from work while I carry my four inch heels in a pretty little bag... or simply in my hands). Bonus, they are over the knee which is fantastic since I live in skirts even when it's 30 below and the knee-high commute boots I've been rockin' the past two years just are cutting it, as far as keeping the space between my skirt and top of my boots, warm.

It's almost the end of November and, (am I about the jinx this?) there is no snow yet! I'm in absolute heaven. It's so nice to be able to still wear suede boots, heels, open-toe shoes and light-weight jackets (mind you, on Saturday night I did break out the faux fur jacket, it was pretty nippy). I love the look of bare pavement and it's so rare for us to have visible grass at this time of the year. I'm lapping it up. While it is quite brisk, I don't care. I don't have to deal with ruining my shoes, black ice, shoveling snow.... the list goes on. I think the forecast is calling for snow later this week, but until then, I'm going to live it up!

Last night I went out to dinner with one of my bridesmaids (LM) -can I still call her a bridesmaid even though the wedding has already taken place?- and we ate here. It was delicious and I'm telling you the sushi is to die for (so fresh). It was fantastic catching up, talking about the wedding, her birthday and trip to NYC. We were total campers and had a fabulous time.
I bought these boots last year and although the red are no longer available, you can get them in black here.

While over at one of my best friend's houses the other night, she pulled out this fab (brand spankin' new) faux fur vest, and then, she gave it to me (what!). I was super stoked and so grateful, I absolutely love it (thanks KK).
