"Fridays" are always enjoyable: the last working day of a 9-to-5'er, the possibility of staying up late with no repercussions and of course, breaking out a more casual lineup.  Since it was a short week this week, I broke out the jeans for the last day of this week, Thursday.  As posted yesterday, I hurt my back.  Well today I went and got a massage, and while that was great, of course, now I'm  feeling the consequences.  I feel stiffer and more sore all over... small pain for large gain (and no pain tomorrow ... or Sunday ... hopefully!).  Have a great weekend!

Something happened.  While at the gym yesterday, I hurt my back lifting.  Not exactly sure where I went wrong, but it's still hurting.  Not good.  Clearly,  you cannot tell I'm in discomfort (here) as I'm getting my pose-on in these pictures, but rest assured, it's not fun.  Fortunately, my sister insisted we go hot tubbing at our parent's house, which was exactly what I needed... and I'm sure an extra long weekend with rest and lots of chocolate should cure it... and perhaps be what the Doctor would prescribe.



Gladiator sandals have been going strong for about three years now, and this summer will be no different.  Chic enough for a business-casual office, perfect for brunch and a great way to stay stylish while running errands around town.  In a variety of styles and colours, you can find them now at all price points and you can't go wrong.  Which pair would you wear?

I love coming home to a home-cooked meal, and this day was no different.  Not only is it extra special when my fiancé is home during the evenings (we mostly work opposite hours), but when he's home and cooking?  Amazing.  On the grill, he bbq'ed up some delicious chicken breasts that he'd marinated, and I helped with the veggies.  And since he's my (amazing) photographer, for once, he wanted in on the action.
