Hi ladies!  Hope you had a great weekend--I meant to get these snaps up sooner but it's just been 'one of those weeks' thus far but here we are so onto the recap...




On Saturday morning, I was up and off to New York state to pick up several items at the post office I had shipped there.  Normally Marco and I make the trip together--it's about an hour drive--but he was in a golf tournament and I couldn't wait any longer for my items.

It was a beautiful day and the drive was great. 


Hi ladies, hope my American friends had a great Memorial Day long weekend and hope it was a great weekend for everyone else.  Apologies on the delay for the Weekend Snaps--this weekend seriously zapped me of energy and I think I need a weekend to recover from my weekend!  Sheesh.  With that, onto the Snaps!



On Friday evening, I had full intentions of going to the gym, but after several hours of (successful) shopping, I wanted to just head home and unwind.

I went to the mall & also the outlets and grabbed a few new pieces which I'll share in my upcoming Spring/Summer Haul (just waiting on a couple items to get delivered!).




KIMONO  |  CAMI  |  SKINNY JEANS -- OLD (SIMILAR)  |  LACE UP HEELS

Happy Monday ladies!  I'm still in weekend mode, with it being a holiday in Canada, but I know a lot of you don't have a long weekend until this one coming up, so wanted to get the Weekend Snaps up today.

I shared this photo on the A.Co Facebook page on Friday with the details to the kimono.  I just scooped it up and wanted to share the link while it is still available.  I often share that sort of thing there, and always share different things on each social media channel, so follow along if you'd like.

Hi ladies!  I know these snaps are so late, it's been a bit of a busy week but I'm sharing what went down since the weekend, so grab a coffee and tuck in...


ALDO SUNGLASSES (SIMILAR)  |  CHOKER


On Friday night, I went to the Justin Bieber concert with my bestie, but first we stopped at Central Bierhaus for dinner on the patio, which didn't disappoint.




H&M TOP  |  SKINNIES (SIMILAR)  |  IRO WEDGES -- OLD (SIMILAR, SPLURGE)

Happy Monday ladies, how was your weekend?  On Friday night I had full intentions to hit the gym but ended up spending much longer at the mall--and buying nothing #womp--so went straight to my spray tan appointment and then home for dinner.  

Thanks to all you girls who weighed in on this dress I tried on.  I didn't end up going back for it but might have picked up some new shoes at Saks instead... #shhhh


Happy Monday ladies!  Sorry for the slight delay in the snaps, I was helping a friend unpack her new home last night, got home late and then Game of Thrones (!!!)--need I say more?

Onto the snaps...



We tend to eat out quite a bit, making time to cook hasn't been a strong suit of late, but after indulging in Mexico for a week, I was determined to get back on the clean eating train.  That said, we agreed if we ate healthy week, we'd get a special dinner on Friday! 

We got Thai take-out, and while this isn't my personal fave (it's totally Marco's though!), I especially enjoyed this time--perhaps one too many chicken + salad combos all week.


More photos after the jump...



Happy Monday ladies!  It was a super busy weekend so let's jump into the snaps!

On Friday night, I met up with my Blogger friend, Katrina for drinks at Supply & Demand.  We had a couple drinks and some great conversation.  No photos because I totally dropped the ball like that.

On Saturday, I was off to host an event...




Hi ladies, and happy Monday.  If you follow me on Snap (I'm acoest1984) or Insta, you saw that I was in Toronto for a long weekend with Marco.  We had such a great time, it was such a nice mini getaway. 

We walked a ton (like 10kms a day!  I started using the Pacer app to track my steps, it was fun to check in at the end of the day--definitely don't walk anywhere near that much at home), saw a lot, met up with friends and more.  I'd love to share a huge photo overload, if you'd like to see...

DENIM  |  HEELS - ON SALE!

Hi ladies--it's a new week and sorry for the delay on the Snaps.  It's been a bit of a whirlwind weekend (good and bad) and I finally had a minute to sit down and pull this post together.

Friday night was one of those nights where nothing was truly planned so naturally we went out for Vietnamese food.  Afterwards, my worst nightmare came true...




Happy Easter Monday!  We celebrated last night with dinner at our place, but more on that in a bit.

My weekend kicked off on Thursday because Friday is a holiday in Canada (Good Friday).  We had a huge snowstorm out of nowhere so I was bundled to get home.

First stop?  Sally's to pick up...


Happy Monday ladies!  How was your weekend?

On Friday night, my best girlfriend took me out for my birthday.  We hit up Fratelli for a drink at the bar and apps before heading to our final destination, Pure Kitchen...



My weekend started early, on Thursday evening, I was out at Place d'Orleans pulling all the outfits for a fashion show I had styled and was hosting on Friday.  It has been a ton of work since really diving in back in January so it was exciting the time had finally come for it to all come together...


Hi ladies -- it's been a few!  The weekend and leading into this week has been a bit of a whirlwind, and I can explain...
 

Hip hip hoorah it's the weekend!  We have had the weirdest weather this week--first freezing cold, then rain and it's pretty much snowed daily.  What are you up to this weekend?  

Marco has been away for work all week and he comes home tonight, so I'm very excited.  I'm also putting the final touches on the fashion show I'm styling/hosting next week and doing a little closet sale with friends (it didn't pan out about a month ago).  Hope you have a great weekend!

When Mom's away...

Watched this documentary this week finally--eye opening and quite sad (about something we all love!).

How much should a photographer charge?

Made me LOL.

Happy Monday ladies!  How was your weekend?

Friday was super low key--we got a snowstorm, I got a spray tan and we grabbed Greek take-out and watched a movie.  Saturday though, Saturday was awesome; we hosted a small birthday brunch for one of our friends and I'd love to share more photos, if you like to see...



SWEATSHIRT (LOVE THIS ONE)  |  LEGGINGS  | ALDO LEGWARMERS - OLD (SIMILAR)

You guys, this is looking a lot like how last weekend's snaps started off!  I'm not going to lie when I say comfort is winning for me on weekends though.  Since getting these leggings in November, they are basically all I want to wear in and out of the gym.  They are super comfy, thick, they suck you in and they make the booty look good.  Save your pennies and invest in a pair if you can, you will easily get your monies worth.



On Friday night...

JACKET -- ON SALE (MINE IS 6 YEARS OLD)  |  MEN'S SWEATSHIRT  |  BLACK SKINNIES  |  BOOTS -- ON SALE (I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM!)

On Friday night we had planned a date night and then kind of at the last minute just decided to go low key (and less expensive) and head out for Vietnamese food.  Seriously, I could eat this everyday!  I know, I know, all you see are these freaking rice bowls, but they are so good.

Sidenote: this is the boyfriend's sweatshirt which I've made my own.  He also had a navy one, which I've also claimed.  We found them during our NYC anniversary trip (video recap here), but looks like they still carry it.  I love hoodies and sweatshirts, and do have a little collection, but don't tend to wear them out much.  On this night I wanted to be comfortable, warm and casual.  #missionaccomplished 




FOREVER 21 TOP - SOLD OUT (SIMILAR)  |  LEGGINGS

Big smiles on Friday night once the workout is complete.  I've been battling some anxiety lately and working out really helps me turn my focus on something else--it's actually one of the few times it disappears for a bit.  

I got home on Friday night and Marco made us tacos and we just relaxed for a while, and ultimately decided to get a workout in around 10pm.  It was definitely what I needed and then I went home and finished editing my Vlogmas videos.  So, if you're interested, you can see Christmas Eve and Christmas Day videos up now.  #finallyitsdone 



On Saturday morning...

SWEATER (MORE OPTIONS HERE)  |  URBAN PLANET LEGGINGS (SIMILAR) |  BOOTIES  | JACKET

And we're back in Ottawa!  We flew home from Florida on Saturday morning and it was a little depressing seeing the snow as we landed.  I am definitely a warm weather girl at heart, but having a little time away does break up a the winter a bit, so there's that.




Hello ladies and happy Monday!  I'll be honest, I was really not looking forward to the three day weekend coming to a close--I need a vacation!  Who's with me?

The photo above was snapped on New Years Eve--we went out to a club with a big group of friends and had a great time.  The music was awesome and we had reserved a booth so, as silly as it sounds, it was nice to have a place to sit at times!
