Outfit deets:

* Zara sweater (with La Senza bandeau underneath) which you've seen in a cream colour with a black skirt and also with my chartreuse lace ruffle shorts.

* H&M pants, worn in the same spot two years ago with white and wedges again (and one of my favourite outfit posts).

* Aldo wedges (love these) which you've seen with a hunter green chiffon top & skirt recently and with denim and an unbuttoned button-down.

* Accessories:  H&M belt, MK watch, A.Co Designs bracelet, Suzy necklace, Gucci shades & random bangle.

Do you ever feel like you're running on half a tank?  That's pretty much how I've been feeling for the last three weeks or so.  It's been busy, to say the least with my trip to Vegas and then my sister's wedding.  Additionally work has been crazy and I stayed two hours late Monday through Wednesday last week.  Throw a personal life into the mix and half a tank feels more like a quarter tank.

Tonight is exciting though; I'm heading to the mall where I am the new Fashion Vlogger and we are going to be filming a b-roll for my upcoming videos.  This will be the little 'intro' that goes at the beginning of each haul video I produce, which is pretty cool.  My first haul video will be up soon and it will include all the items I purchased during the shop-off challenge that I competed in and that ultimately won me the contest!  I can't wait to share with you all.

In other news, I've joined a volleyball league with some friends that plays on Thursdays and I'll be starting tomorrow.  I'm kind of nervous.  It's been three years since I played organized volleyball so not sure how my skills are going to hold up!

Hope you're all having a great week!

My sister got married on Saturday and it was such a crazy, busy but extremely fun weekend.  This post is wedding heavy but there is just too much to not share.  You can find more photos on my Instagram.  

Cheers!

  

The bridesmaids, my mom and I, spent Friday morning preparing these 

tasty red velvet cupcakes-in-a-jar favours for the wedding.  

We ran out of cupcakes so my sister was baking more that morning!

Sweet champagne flutes the bride designed for her bridesmaids.  

We took these to our hair appointment the morning of the wedding to have mimosas.

Caroline, at Noir Salon, did my hair and killed it.  

I was so pleased with how it turned out, even better than my inspiration photo!

 The finished product.  Ah-mazing (I even slept on it and wore it to brunch the next day).

From the salon, we went back to my sister's place to get dressed.  

I did my own make up (the bride requested a smokey purple eye), 

the bride got dressed and we headed to the ceremony.

Outfit deets:  Alfred Sung dress, Paris Hilton heels (similar), Silk flower bouquets from Morgann Hill Designs.

 Married!

During photos, the Best Man and I came up with a plan to switch shoes to enter the reception.  

The photographer caught the moment (haha!).

We hit up a skate park after the formal photos and the newlyweds 

switched their shoes for some more fun shots.

We rode around in style, thanks to the bride & groom's excellent taste (and budget!).

 In the limo celebrating with champagne.

 First dance.

 The favours turned out so well (missing: the thin black ribbon & black spoon tied to the jar) and were a huge hit.

 Bride & Maid of Honour

 Having fun in the photobooth.

 Three words:  midnight. poutine. buffet.

 First Vegas meal:  Chicken tortilla salad at America in the NYNY hotel.

 A special Moet (and fancy cheese plate) surprise awaited us when we got to our room (!!!).

Bright and early on our first day we woke up at 5:30am and made our way 

to breakfast at 7:30am.  We had steak & eggs (for $5.95!) at Pampas.

 

 After breakfast we spent the day shopping (and walking the strip).

Outfit deets:  F21 romper (that was Sarah's and she gave to me! Yay!), Bamboo gladiator sandals & Foster Grant shades.

 We grabbed a quick NY pizza dinner at our hotel before the concert on Friday night.

 Ready for the I Heart Radio concert!

Outfit deets:  La Senza top, Costa Blanca skirt & clutch and Aldo wedges.

 On Saturday morning we headed out for breakfast and more shopping.

Outfit deets:  Lola romper (new from Vegas!), Spring gladiator sandals & Target bandeau swimsuit top.

We ate a late breakfast at Zingers: worst. french. toast. ever. (for realz)

 The strip from a walk-overpass.

After spending over eight hours shopping, we were too exhausted to go back to our hotel to get ready for dinner, so we just went straight to eat at Diego (in the MGM Grand).  Afterwards, we went to Fiamma for dessert and tea (and where this picture was taken).

Combo plate at Diego:  chicken enchillada, fish taco & beef burrito.

 Dessert & tea at Fiamma (tiramisu for me!).

 On our last day we got up early to get breakfast and take a walk down the strip.  

Then it was onto the airport to catch our 11am flight.

Outfit deets:  Sirens lace top & shorts, Garage tank, Bamboo gladiator sandals & nameless bag (from Winners).

 Steak & eggs (again).
