Outfit deets:
* Dynamite jacket which you've seen with skinnies, waxed denim (a favourite post), with leggings and booties & once upon a time I belted it (which I would never do anymore).
* Winners top.
* Vigoss jeans (via Alloy) that I love because they come in a 37" inseam & last seen almost three years ago with a classic trench.
* Aldo wedges.
* Accessories: Club Monaco scarf & Aldo clutch.
(This outfit is actually from early spring last year and I never used it, I'd totally rock this look for fall though).
I love living in the city. It's been just over a year since I moved out of the suburbs and into an urban area and it's been great. I love being close to work, downtown, shops and stores and how easy it is to get together with my other city-living friends.
So while taking a walk on my lunch break the other day, around the neighbouring neighbourhoods, I was shocked when I felt a little sad about no longer living in suburbia. Surely I couldn't be pining for a lawn and garden to keep up with, not to mention all that extra space a house holds that needs to be kept clean? But yet I was and I envisioned back to what life was like with a yard, and space, and multiple rooms (a far cry from the one-bedroom apartment I now call home).
Then a moment of anxiety set in: will I grow tired of city living before my new condo is ready? Will I wish I was moving back to the quiet subdivisions I always knew and loved?
Nah.
And the moment was dashed because I know one day, when I'm ready, I will eventually move back to the outskirts of the city, where there is still bustle, but is is less congested and where I will have more space, and a lawn, and a garden and separate living rooms... and besides, I really hate gardening anyways.

I finally got around to editing my Las Vegas haul video. I picked up a ton of stuff, hence why the video is a little long (and I blabbed on a bit, obviously) but I did something silly for the first time: added in some out-takes at the end of the video (ha!). Enjoy.

* Vegas recap.
From photoshoot to final product; I'm on the Place d'Orleans (mall) website! It's a little bit surreal.
Later this week I'll share some more photos that are up at the actual mall (so crazy!).
For my third video as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger,
I'm discussing how to bundle up while still looking cool! I purchased some things such as a snood, hidden-wedge boots and more.
Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans FB page), the next one will be out at the beginning of December!

At the airport | On the plane with my friends (we flew West Jet and the crew was amazing)
Hello friends! I'm back and feeling slightly guilty for leaving my blog unattended for a full week (a first in almost three years!) but quite rested from my trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
We left on a Saturday and stayed for seven days at the Sirenis Cocotal resort, a four-star resort with a beautiful beach. I went with my best friend, her hubby and my other close friend. The weather was a mix of beautiful and hot, and crazy thunderstorms with heavy rain. The buffets weren't the best but the a la carte restaurants were delicious! I'd love to share some photos with you...
Outfit deets: Le Chateau hat, Joe Fresh cardigan, H&M tank, Sirens leggings, Walmart flats & Winners bag.
...and then it poured rain.

Yummy slushy drinks | Beautiful pools
One morning on our balcony, we saw a grounds keeper up in a palm tree trimming the palms and throwing down the coconuts. We watched him climb up use a rope attached to his waist and the tree to climb up and down (unbelievable!). We cheered him on and next thing we knew he showed up at our door with two coconuts, cut open, to drink from. We were pretty excited! (BTW, don't do this; although we were excited, the four of us spent the next four days in the bathroom - eep, TMI).
Outfit deets: Target bikini top & La Senza bottoms
Two nights out.

Our night at the Japanese restaurant.
I cut my hand really badly while washing a glass (the glass blew out) two days before our vacation which required a trip to the emergency room and three stitches. I wasn't allowed to get it wet (the entire time!) so had to swim around with my hand out of the pool.
Outfit deets: Rampage hat, Payless shades & Victoria Secret bikini (borrowed).
