On Friday night I went to a little get-together with some of my man's friends. It was somewhat of a potluck with the most delicious food in the most beautiful house. Since we got a crazy snowstorm that day, and my favourite boots had been soaked from all the puddles, I opted for my rubber boots over my skinny jeans. I rarely wear these but boy was it nice to have dry feet!
Here's a little known fact: I am not great at picking out wine. While I love it, I don't always choose the best ones. This wine, picked by yours truly, ended up being amazing so I took a pic so I'd remember to purchase it again.
On Saturday I spent the day doing a photoshoot for Place d'Orleans for an upcoming Spring Promo. The day consisted of meeting with a stylist in the morning, shopping for several hours for the shoot, and then the actual photoshoot in the afternoon. It was so much fun and I will share more later today.
Afterwards, I decided to do some shopping on my own, but not before grabbing a Booster Juice and putting my feet up for a rest (I love the Funky Monkey smoothie).
I'm still covetting the black Nixon The Time Teller and but The Camden, above in black,caught my eye on the weekend.
A successful day of shopping! I picked up a white tee, a beach hat (seen here at the photoshoot), a floral printy floaty top, a gauzy mint sweaty and a few other things.
That night was thai with my boy.
My parents made spaghetti, ceasar salad and garlic bread for lunch...
...and an angel food cake with lemon icing (a family favourite).
I spent the afternoon and into the evening editing the video from our trip to Mexico. Hopefully will have this uploaded by tomorrow!
We decided to go out for a late Sunday night dinner date, and afterwards did groceries. #keepinitreal
Outfit deets: Old Navy jacket (old), Ardène pashmina, Almost Famous denim (old) & Deux Lux bag.
Come back later for a recap of the photoshoot from the weekend!

For my thirteenth video as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger, I'm sharing the hottest trends for Spring 2013!
They are:
They are:
* Floral
* Pastels
* Chambray
* Black & white
And exciting news! This was set to be my last video for my contract with the mall but they have asked me if I would stay on and continue as the Vlogger for the mall and I could not be more excited! I have learned so much with this experience and my videos and editing are getting better and better. Additionally, we have some fun things coming up soon which I will, of course, be sharing here.

I'm completely obsessed with strappy sandals / heels for Spring and Summer this year. Normally I love wedges and something less dainty, but this year, strappies are all the rage.
I am still really debating these Express ones (love the thicker and higher ankle strap) as I kind of know I shouldn't, but really really want 'em!
Are you feeling the strappy heel trend?
I'm terrible at taking outfit photos, especially since it's been winter here for the past, oh, I don't know, six months. Outfit photos inside kind of suck--bad lighting, boring scenery--but it's too cold to take them outside (except these ones turned out pretty good in my apartment). I wish I had the balls (ie. warmth) to take outdoor winter outfit photos, but I don't, so until it warms up, well, you know the deal (did I mention it's snowing as I type this?).
On the other hand, I do try and take a pic of my outfit daily and post it to Instagram (I'm @acoest1984). I post all of these under #acolookdowns if you're interested.
So what is everyone up to this weekend!?
Tonight there might be a party and tomorrow I'm doing a photo shoot for Place d'Orleans (via my Vlogger gig) for an upcoming contest. Very excited about this and will of course share photos with you on Instagram and all the details afterwards here on my blog. Sunday is up in the air, but something always comes up!
Have a great weekend!

Have you guys heard of FIG Clothing? I hadn't either until a coworker friend told me about the Canadian company based out of Montreal. Fast forward a few emails later and we were exploring the possibility of working together.
FIG Clothing is a line of clothes for women on the go. Their pieces are meant to take you from airplane to business meeting and everything in between--I wore mine out to dinner in Mexico, but could totally see myself wearing my Nev dress with a denim jacket and sandals for brunch or even over a bikini as it's a quick drying fabric.
Their clothes are meant to flatter and celebrate the feminine body and believe me when I say I felt feminine and confident in this dress (that added ruching in the tummy area is so flattering and forgiving; trust me, I ate a ton that night and while on vacation in general).
Everything is made in Canada and (best part!) they offer free shipping or you can check out the various stores they sell at in Canada and the USA.
* This post is sponsored by FIG Clothing. I was given the opportunity to shop with them but the dress was chosen by me. All opinions are my own and know that I truly love this line and would not share with you otherwise. As always, thanks for reading & for supporting my sponsors!
