On Friday afternoon my bestie and I hit up Montana's for lunch and I ordered the steak salad (my fave because it comes with these little crusted-deep-fried jalepenos on top. And steak, of course).
Friday night I did some shopping and picked up the things you see above plus more (which I will share in an upcoming vlog). See me in the denim jacket HERE.
On Saturday, we played in a pairs volleyball tournament. We played six games and went to the finals. We won our sixth game and placed first and got gold medals (such a surprise!).
...afterwards, we went out for burgers to celebrate.
"Lettuce, tomatoes, mustard & extra pickles please."
On Saturday night I went to a wine & cheese party... sort of... I say sort of because it turned into more of a wine & UFC party.
Outfit deets: Marshalls top (can't remember the brand but it's new), Roxy denim (old) & H&M necklace (old).
A friend made these amazing canapés with fois gras, goat cheese, cherry tomatos and a few other decadent ingredients.
On Sunday morning my bestie and I had plans to meet for breakfast. She suggested we invite my parent's along since we were in the neighbourhood. I didn't eat that toast.
Afterwards we hit up Value Village and did some scouring. I'm going to vlog what I bought but here's what I wore (yes, those pants again, but I misplanned, ran late, wasn't home and blah blah blah. I never re-wear items without washing them--kind of anal like that--so not sure what got into me here).
Outfit deets: Men's G21 (Walmart) tee with rolled sleeves, Roxy denim, hi-top wedges, Urban Planet belt, H&M necklace & Pier 1 ring.
Sunday night was a rooftop and a BBQ and some new friends which was really fun. Summer and warm weather is finally here and we all took full advantage of.
My guy's best girl pal lives in a beautiful condo downtown and her balcony is awesome.
Outfit deets: Old Navy tee (old), Max Studio skirt (I wore almost this exact outfit while picking up myu impounded car last summer. Read that story HERE.) & Alfred Sung shades.
Grilled zuchinni, roasted potates & BBQ chicken. #whodoesntlovesummer

Sorry for the delay on today's post, I was out for volleyball last night and then drinks and food afterwards and the night got away and next thing I knew it was 2am and I was still awake with an 8am workday ahead of me! On top of that, work was insane today and I continued the busyness into the evening and well, here we are, almost midnight!
So I thought I would share with you a mini recap of this week because... well, why not? Plus, I love sharing with you all and some interesting things happened, so, here we go...
On Monday, during our lunch hour, my bestie and I decided to forgo our usual lunch hour workout in favour of shopping--who doesn't love that?!--and I ended up picking up these cute diamante skull earrings from Payless Shoes in a six pack (we split the pack, sort of, as I only wanted these ones so she kept the others).
On Tuesday, I took Kiki to the dealership for a planned appointment and they sent me on my way with a loaner for the day (yes, I call her Kiki). When I picked her up, she was driving smooth, but just a couple hours later all panic ensued while on my way home when she started to break down on the highway just before midnight on my way home. I managed to get off the highway safely and since I could not drive her (over-heated), I got a tow back to the dealership I was at only hours earlier.
So. Frustrating.
This is a picture of her being dropped off at 1am. Oh what a night.

The next day I was so happy to have her back, I took a celebratory pic on my way to work. Haha, I'm still so excited about my car, but then again, it's only been two months since I got her.
On Thursday, Sarah and I finally got our acts together and hit the gym (not sure why, but we've been totally slacking this week!) and had a really good (ie. difficult & sweaty) workout. Later that evening we played volleyball (as we normally do on Thursday nights with our men).
And tonight I hit up Place d'Orleans to do some shopping and hunt down a few items for my next vlog. I ended up returning the denim vest I got from Garage in my last vlog and exchanged it for this washed out denim jacket; I love it!
Oh, and the reason I returned the denim vest? Because I found one I love even more (despite being $25 more) at Boathouse that we used for the PDO photoshoot. I love, love, love the wash on it and the pink inner lined cuffs and the distressing; perfection.
Outfit deets:
* American Eagle men's button down (on sale!) which I showed in my PDO Hottest Spring Trends vlog (I'm wearing a size small).
* Stitches neon skirt which I wore a ton last summer and will again this summer.
* Aldo wedges (new!) which you've seen with distressed denim and also in a different PDO Spring Trends vlog.
* Accessories: Gucci shades, F21 bangle, Aldo leather cuff, BCBG 'Picses' beaded bracelet, Suzy Shier leather strap & F21 bangle.
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?
