Hi ladies! A shorter recap than usual after a somewhat low key weekend, so here we go...
Friday night I hosted a bridal shower for a friend with some help of course. We had 10 ladies, and kept the evening chic and non-traditional with gold decor, no games and lots of sangria and prosecco.
The bride-to-be wore this amazing cape dress and I'm wearing the daisy romper--now on sale!--you've seen before. It was truly a great evening with wonderful company (and lingerie!).

Hi ladies! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for several days--the weekend got away from me since I was somewhat out of my usual routine as I was staying at my parent's place. They went away for the weekend so I stayed there to watch our family dog, Peanut.
Unfortunately, she is getting very old and we don't know how much longer she will be around--her quality of life has really take a turn for the worse over the past year, so it was great to spend some quality time with her over the weekend.
So with that, onto the snaps!
My new shoes came in (you saw the red pair) and I love the black even more.
These definitely run true to size but are in half sizes. I'm a size 10 and ordered the 8UK and it's a perfect fit. The one qualm about these, and experienced with the other pair, is that they rub on the heel of my smaller foot as I walk and create a blister. That said, sometimes certain shoes just need to be broken in, and I consider these like that. I'm sure after several wears they will be good to go. Ultimately, I'm super pleased with my purchased.
I stopped at the condo before heading to my parent's place for the long weekend, to pack and get changed into my gym clothes.

On Friday night I was so happy we had no plans and the only thing on the agenda was to get food and catch up on our favourite shows (we are watching Suits & Ballers right now).
We ordered Indian for dinner and I decided to walk there and pick it up to get a little exercise in.
This past weekend was definitely one for the books and one that has been in the works for a couple months. Just like last year, we planned a cottage long weekend with 18 friends in Fiddler Lake, which was a grand time.
I'd love to share a bunch of pictures if you'd like to see...
Good morning & happy Monday!
This past weekend wasn't supposed to be busy but turned out to be such, and the weather was beautiful--we are in full Summer mode, and I couldn't be happier.
On Friday I headed out to my parent's place to stay for the weekend to look after our family dog, Peanut.
We hung out on the back deck, soaked up the late afternoon sun and relaxed. I made that easy tomato-avocado-arugula salad I'm loving and later grabbed some sushi and headed home to get ready for a concert...
On Friday night, after running around and piling groceries and crap into my car, I stopped at Petit Bills to grab the pecan burger to take home for dinner. I haven't had this in over a year but it's so freaking good. I'm a huge burger lover to begin with, and never go for the veggie variety, but this one is top notch.
My new bikini tops came in from F21 and they are super cute. I'm loving the on-trend halter/high-neck look; it's athletic and chic. The fit is definitely small, so size up (I got large).
On Friday night I went for a manicure and got this sleek grey colour, which is super similar to a favourite I shared last month. I had my girl re-shape my nails into a coffin shape and although they are a little short, she pulled it off (she's so good!).
On Friday night I went for impromptu pedicures with my bestie--I got opaque white which looks so fresh for Summer.
Afterwards I poked around a couple stores and the mall before meeting up with Marco for a late night dinner at Milestones. I'm kept it somewhat healthy with the salad but totally indulged in a couple cocktails!
On Friday night, we had six of our friends over for a home-made pizza night. Everyone brought something--salad, desserts, appetizers--and Marco whipped up his signature Italian style pizzas which were a huge hit.
On Friday night we went to a somewhat impromptu house party and had a great time. I wanted to be comfortable and it was a little cool so I threw on leggings (it's been a while!) and this jacket that I've had for at least six years.
Saturday was spent recovering, ha, and so there isn't much to show until later that evening...
On Friday I went to visit my girlfriend and her new baby boy, Lukas (see a pic of us here at her baby shower back in March). What a sweetheart! Although I'm not ready for a baby quite yet, I love holding, feeding and fawning over them. They are so little for such a short period of time, it's really special to meet them brand new.
On Saturday morning...

On Friday night I literally had to drag myself to the gym, but it was made easier when my girlfriend agreed to come with.
Afterwards, a few quick errands and I went home to find Marco waiting with sushi for us #yay!
Happy Tuesday! Yesterday was Victoria Day in Canada making it a long weekend which was seriously just what the Doctor ordered. The weekend was pretty busy until Sunday night, so Monday was a great day to do me and recharge. With that, onto the snaps!
On Friday night I went and got my nails done and chose this neon pink from China Glaze (I normally tend towards OPI or Essie, but there was nothing as fluro as this and I loved it).
On Saturday morning I got up pretty early and had the day to myself since Marco was playing in a golf tournament. It was actually quite nice to have zero plans but plenty of options. Will I clean? Will I shop? Will I sit around in my gym clothes all. day. long. ?!
I hit the gym mid morning and then made a couple of stops on my way home. Then, got super productive and cleaned and did laundry all afternoon, which wasn't very fun but I turned up the EDM and got it done.
I spent Friday evening at the Genuis Bar at the Apple store, attempting to get my MacBook fixed. It's been really slow lately and editing videos has become so difficult and much lengthier due to this. Unfortunately I have to go back tonight and try another route.
New kicks; I've been wanting a pair of black hi-tops and Supras are my favourite. Love the pony hair and gold detail on these babies (they are also men's)--perfect for the gym or an edgier look with leather pants.
On Friday night I hit the gym, took my time and then popped into Winners on my way home where I found this adorable soap dish. It was the only thing I purchased and it felt a little frivolous but I really love it (and currently have my soap in a small dipping pot that is for eating!).

I have always loved flares, and have several pairs in my closet, but skinnies are definitely my go-to--especially for winter and tucking into boots. That said, they are making a major come-back this Spring and I couldn't be more excited! I took the opportunity to rock a pair for Casual Friday.
On Friday I decided to book a massage (the first in over a year) as I had a gift card from my birthday to use. It was awesome. From there I went to the mall to poke around and treated myself to a new Marc by Marc Jacobs wristlet-wallet (full size here)!
Okay, first let me start off by saying I have my eyes seriously set on this Alexander Wang stunner, but, I would really like a designer handbag so am saving towards that instead. Now, that's not to say Marc Jacobs isn't amazing, because it is, and the only reason I 'splurged' on it was because it was super on sale (regular $165, on sale for $67!) and I had a gift card that covered the entire cost (and I loved it).
Additionally, I haven't been using my Coach wallet (which was a gift) for a year--I've been carrying my cards loose, in my purse. Actually, until last night, my old wallet was still jammed with all the cards I've been missing whenever I'm out somewhere and they ask me for my loyalty card or whatever... so, I'm finally back to being organized... sort of.
More pics after the jump...
We woke up on Saturday morning to a massive snowstorm... at the end of March. Le sigh. I guess we shouldn't expect Spring any time soon! That said, it was mild and we were headed up to Mont. Tremblant for the weekend for what might be our last chance to ski this year.
As some of you know, from my Instagram and Facebook page, I'm currently in Las Vegas! Marco is here for work, so I tagged along, which is so nice. It's a great, quick break from the cold, and we go home on Wednesday.
This past weekend was my birthday and there were a few celebrations that were carried out which was just awesome. Last year was a special, bigger birthday, and Marco threw a party for me which was awesome. This year, though, I didn't want to do anything big because I have been so lucky with all I've been able to do over the past year and of course, coming to Vegas, but a couple of my girlfriends took me out to dinner separately, which was really generous.
So, with that, onto the weekend snaps...

On Friday night, my best friend, took me out to dinner to celebrate. We went to Soca, which is a new place in Hintonburg (my old 'hood!) that I'd heard about and been wanting to try!
