Happy Thursday!
I'm so excited to share with you guys that I finally welcomed myself to 2013 by getting an Inernet connection for home.
I know.
Since moving to my apartment in October 2011, I've pirated a connection and when that ran out, I started tethering my iPhone to my laptop for about a year. Unfortunately, this stopped working many months ago (not sure why). I've found ways around it, but it's certainly not ideal and I had researched getting Internet at home a while back, but the set up and modem and whatever else you need was pricey and I didn't want to bite the bullet (what?! Weirdo.). Anyways, it's done and I'm hooked up and I'm just so, so excited. Seems weird for someone who is as in love with social media as I, but there you have it.
On top of that, this was one of the rare days I did not have a commute shoe (or boot, for winter). I normally wear flats into work and then change into my heels, but on this day, I wore my heels everywhere (to and from work and for a stop in at the grocery store. Booyah). Granted, these are a wedge and wedges that are comfortable to walk in and my foot stays put. I used to wear heels everywhere, even for shopping, but now I cannot be bothered (which makes me feel a little sad and like I'm 'letting myself go', but then I remember that I can't be bothered). It is a rare day if I'm out running errands in heels; I just love being comfortable, especially in my footwear.
This is as close as I'm getting to the chambray trend because I. Don't. Like. It. Okay fine, it's growing on me. Truth is, I purchased a chambray button down almost four years ago when the trend trickled into stores, wore it once, tried dying it darker, it didn't work out and I donated it. Since then, I've been off the bandwagon and the trend has only been growing. I know, I know, 'You can pair it with everything!' but it's not for me.
Watch me bite my tongue in a month.

When I was little, my mom taught me the art that is squatting when using a public washroom. As I got older, I basically said F-this-noise and began covering the seat with toilet paper and sitting instead. I couldn't be bothered to get a leg workout--relalistically, people--while trying to pee.
That said, I would never not at least wipe the seat so it always surprises me when people just run in and sit down. A friend of mine once did that without looking and sat in someone else's pee (ick!), so I always check.
Do you squat or sit? Are you diligent like me about wiping the seat?
I think these might be it, you guys! You know I'm having a strappy sandal moment right now, ones with a prominent ankle strap and have still been debating those Express ones. I think these might be it though; four colours to choose from, the two above are my faves.
Which colour would you pick?

In March 2013 my BFF and I travelled to Toronto, courtesy of Maybelline, to attend World Mastercard Fashion Week. It was so fun to go backstage, get our hair and make-up done and attend the shows. In between fashion and runways we ate a ton, explored the city and did some shopping. Check out the vlog to see the full experience.

As you guys know, I did a photoshoot for Place d'Orleans (the mall I'm the Fashion Vlogger for) the past two weekends for a Spring contest they are currently running. I'm excited to share the details with you and if you're from Ottawa, encourage you to enter because you could win a $500 gift card for the mall!
Entering is easy, simply visit the Place d'Orleans Facebook page and Pin your favourite look (of three) I'm wearing. From there, they will pick one winner per week. We will be showcasing three looks each week for four weeks! That's $2000 worth of shopping up for grabs, so get Pinning! #PDOPinUpGirls
