For Canada day our friends had an awesome party at their condo in a happening part of town. They have the most amazing roof-top patio terrace which served perfectly for the warm day. There were tons of people, great food and a great time in general. HAPPY CANADA DAY!

While the temperature in these pictures might look nice, it was quite the opposite. I froze when I took my jacket off and for this time of the year, that's very surprising... and not enjoyed! C'mon summer. We only get what, three months of you to begin with, get this cool weather outta here!
On a side note, these are my favourite flats ever. I've had them for a couple years and cannot give 'em up. I've tried to purchase other black flats, basically to enable a switch up and prolong the life of these ones, but always go back. They are my tried and true. Comfy, stylish... comfy. But then again, why would you wear flats if they weren't comfy?

FabSugar featured me in their Look of the Week!
for letting me know about this! <3 you girl!
Swatch watch (last seen here), Bay ring & necklace & thrifted clutch
I wore this out to dinner for my Aunt's birthday on Saturday night. Almost immediately after capturing these shots, my necklace broke. Not impressed. I'm hoping I can fix it with some super glue but I guess we'll see. The kicker though, is that it's one of my more expensive (costume) jewellery pieces. I certainly scored it at a deeply discounted price, but initially, it was pricey! It always amazes me when my more costly items break and the cheapie stuff outlasts it. Something is wrong with that picture.
Lastly, this top is another one of my creations, made without a pattern and I have to say, it's probably my most favourite article of clothing I've ever made (not that there are tons, but a few which you can see here, here, here, here, here & here). I've worn it twice within two weeks (which is kind of a record for me - I really try to spread things out), like this, and once to the office tucked into a pencil skirt. The cut is perfect for me (boatneck, cap-sleeve, long in the body, slightly a-line & low back), in my opinion, and it's comfortable. When I saw the fabric, I had to have it. I initially planned to make more of a tank style, but then grew ambitious and this end result was more than I hoped for.
So while doing some grocceries the other day, I of course had to peruse through the clothing department. Yes ladies, in Canada, we have a groccery store with clothes. The line is called Joe Fresh and it's super cute. They carry a variety of items at great price points, including business casual, athletica, swimware, shoes, undergarmets, accessories and more. I saw this necklace over a month ago and fell in love... but I resisted. I didn't need it per-say, as as you know, I'm trying to save for the wedding (August). Imagine my surprise when I saw it for 50% off! It was a no brainer. On top of that, I've been accumulating points (through my groccery shopping) and have been waiting to redeem them - perfect opportunity! So, I didn't fork over any cash, just used my points and left very happy (and guilt-free!).
