Hello friends! I'm back from a weekend of pool parties and boating and am completely zonked. Sorry for the radio silence but yesterday was a holiday in Canada (hello Canada Day!) and I was off frolicking with friends in the 1000 Islands.
I will post more this week about how my extra-long weekend unfolded with all the pictures to share it.
Hope your weekends were wonderful.

I recorded this video back at the beginning of May but haven't had the chance to upload it. Since I tether my Internet connection with my iPhone, uploading videos to YouTube takes days. Seriously. So, the other day while at my sister's place, I used her wireless to upload this video and my thrifting haul. This one is a little late, but hey, better late than never, right? Happy weekend!
I ended up returning a few of the items shown in the video:
* The reversible orange/pink dress
* The black hi-low dress
I have been ogling the Isabel Marant's Gava heels for a while now but they aren't in the budget. I love the thick ankle strap and decided to make my own. Here's how I did it:
Supplies:
* Faux leather or vinyl (find this at your local craft/bead store or cut up an old flimsy belt)
* Velcro
* Scissors
Cut your faux leather as thick as you'd like. After cutting one, trace the other and cut.
Measure around your ankle to ensure the length is good.
Measure out your velcro pieces, just slightly less wide than your strap.
Attach the rough pieces of velcro to the outside of your leather.
Attach the fuzzy side to the underside.
Voila!
If you have straps already on your shoes, you could wear both together for a different look...
Or cut some suede cord and wrap it around...
Don't forget to try pairing your new leather ankle straps with various shoes...
Outfit deets:
* American Eagle cardigan, fairly new but was on super sale & you've seen once before with a skirt and my neon orange Louboutins.
* Sirens top (new!), I picked this up about a month ago and have already worn it twice (including the day my J.Crew bubble necklaces arrived in the mail). I love the colour, the ruffle and there is a zipper detail (and another ruffle) on the back.
* H&M white denim pants that I've worn with lots of colour on Easter.
* Sam Edelman 'Sophie Low' wedges (new!) that I've already worn at least four times since getting less than two weeks ago.
* Accessories: Suzy necklace, Gucci shades, Old Navy (green) bangle, garage sale charm bracelet & F21 faux diamond bangle.
