March has been one of the best months of the last year and I know I said February flew by, but March did as well!
In March I showed you how to turn your too-short maxi dress into a maxi skirt, I filmed more vlogs than ever and also did a kiss-print DIY. I added some fun summer trends to my wardrobe, went bare-legged and belted a top for the first time in forever (usually I feel this is just so restrictive).
I celebrated my 29th birthday with surprises (a trip to Mexico!), gifts, wonderful meals, a birthday peom and an overall fantastic weekend.
Then Sarah and I travelled to Toronto (courtesy of Maybelline) to attend World Mastercard Fashion Week (my first Fashion Week ever). We attended three shows and toured the city of Toronto over the course of two days. We visited the CN Tower--I'd never been--which was so cool and drank some fun drinks.
The best part of the month though, was travelling to the Mayan Riviera with my man for a beautiful week in paradise with lots and lots of coconut ice cream (and other great food).

Hello! I'm back from a beautiful, sunny week in the Mayan Riviera, and what an amazing trip it was. We filmed while we were there, so I'll let you know when I finish editing and uploading that.
We did so much while on vacation from climbing the Coba ruins, playing tennis, enjoying the beach, eating a ton and much, much more. I would love to share some pictures with you, but it's pretty photo heavy, so click the jump if you're game...
Hey everyone! I'm currently on vacation in the Mayan Rivera, Mexico with my boyfriend adn we are having a great time. We arrived at midnight on Saturday night (our time, so it was actually 10pm Mexico time which enabled us to get a late-night dinner snack, which was good as we were so hungry) and have been soaking up the sun, drinking colourful drinks and just relaxing (or trying to relax; does anyone else have that difficulty of just 'shutting down'? I know it always takes me a few days).
Things will be a little slow around here this week, but I'll be back to regular posting after Easter. We do have free wi-fi here--what a treat!--but I don't want to spend hours logged on, if ya know what I mean. I will have a full recap when I get back, plus more on Toronto Fashion Week and more.
Keep up with me on Instagram (I'm @acoest1984) while I'm away; talk soon!
Hey everyone! Sorry for the radio silence but the past couple days have been a whirlwind and I don't have wifi where I am (currently writing this post from my iPhone!).
In short, my bestie won a trip for us to World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto via Maybelline! They flew us here Wednesday night, put us up on a swanky hotel (The Thomspon) and sent us backstage at Fashion Week and to two shows. On top of that, gave her a cheque for $1000 to spend freely (we've had some great meals and done a bit of H&M shopping).
Yesterday, we got to the tents around 4:30 and were taken backstage. We had professional Redken hair stylists do our hair and Maybelline make-up artists for our faces. Backstage was craziness and so hectic. Models and people everywhere rushing around between shows! Once we were all ready, we were taken to the VIP lounge for a drink and professional photos then onto the shows! We saw the Soia&Kyo show and then the Rudsak show. Both amazing with beautiful outerwear. Tons of leather and fabrics mixed, fur lined hoods, vests and chunky boots. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to fall or at least incorporating some of this into my wardrobe now (via shopping my closet, mainly) before Spring hits (it's still snowing here).
Today we are going back to Fashion Week but don't know which shows we are seeing. We fly home tonight so are hoping to get some shopping in during the day today.
I'm Instagraming as I go and live-tweeting too so keep up with me there. Will have a full recap soon and we are vlogging this trip so ill have a video for you once I'm back from Mexico!
Have a great weekend!
Guess what you guys?! I'm going to Mexico! My boyfriend is taking me to the Mayan Riviera for my birthday and I could not be more excited (who gets a trip for their birthday!? What!).
I started packing the other night and put a pretty good dent into it. My suitcase is being filled with a lot of bright colours, wedges and bikinis (and cover-ups because I didn't pack enough of those for my trip to Punta Cana).
We are staying at the Aventura Spa Palace in the Mayan Riviera which is a five-star, adults-only resort and it looks beautiful. I can't wait to relax, spend some QT time together and indulge in a carefree week.
