Last night I was on a sewing mission and I knew it was going to take me all night so I needed something quick, easy and healthy for dinner to fuel me in between pinning and stitching. Enter this amazingly easy and delicious dish that I made up spur of the moment.
Ingredients:
* 1 Chicken breast (or more if you're feeding others);
* Your favourite veggies, sliced; I did mushrooms & zuchinni because I had it on hand.
Directions:
1. Pre-heat over to 350C
2. Pour a quarter size amount of coconut oil in your cooking dish
3. Sprinkle with pepper
4. Add your veggies around the perimeter
5. Spread some grainy dijon mustard on your chicken
6. Place the chicken in the centre
7. Cook for 30 minutes & devour

On Friday night, parent's of friends invited us to their place on the water outside of town. We drank delicious Jack Daniels lemonade cocktails, went boating, explored their beautiful property (above) & ate like Kings. What a fun evening!
Outfit deets: Winners top (old), Wet Seal shorts (old, from my trip to Florida in 2012), Ardene flats, Expressions necklace & Material Girl sunnies.
I took this photo around 8pm (no filter, you guys!) when the sun was starting to set and the relection on the water was pretty much perfect.
The next morning several of us went to a friend's place for a home-made breakfast and the best eggs benedict ever. The hollandaise sauce is actually bernaise sauce from the dinner the night before. A-mazing.
Saturday's outfit.
Outfit deets: Costa Blanca top (old), Celebrity Pink shorts (new!), Bamboo sandals (old) & Payless sunglasses (last year).
Saturday afternoon was a girls' BBQ at my girlfriend's new home. We had a blast eating, drinking, chatting and soaking up the sun in between bouts inside with the air conditioning. She got fancy on us and broke out the champagne later in the afternoon.
Saturday night I spent the evening cleaning my apartment, which was a huge disaster. I showered and threw on some clothes around 10pm to head out to grab food with my boyfriend once I was finished.
Outfit deets: Okay denim vest, unknown brand dress (super old, from Winners), American Eagle for Payless sandals & Ardene clutch.
Late night Pho.
On Sunday I didn't take any pictures (what tha wha... I know.) but spent the morning with my sister and her husband shooting some maternity photos (she's due any minute!) and the afternoon with my mom putting the final touches on the shower we are throwing for my sister next weekend. Later that night I took in Dexter which is my favourite show and I'm pumped it's back on; but so sad it's the final season #wahwah.
HAPPY MONDAY!
Mesh is an up and coming trend so when I spied this super on-sale Vero Moda top I scooped it up from The Bay with this DIY in mind. Speaking of sales, Place d'Orleans is having a huge side-walk sale next week, July 11 - 14 and I can guarantee I'll be hitting that up to score some great deals (you should to!).
Back to the skirt, I love the idea of pairing this mesh overlay on top of a black skirt to add some interest to an outfit. You might remember this peplum top from my Fall Fashion vlog--peplum is still going strong so if you haven't jumped on the band wagon yet, the time is now--and these wedges from my Spring Trends vlog. I've also thrown in a few newbies that are currently in store like this Limité pink statment necklace & the white studded Ardène cross-body clutch down below.
Scroll down to check out this easy, no-sew DIY.
Try it with neon... or other fun items found at Place d'Orleans:

Outfit deets:
* Lola sweater.
* H&M jeans (old).
* H by Halston cap-toe heels from Bakers (picked up in Vegas) which you've seen with maroon waxed pants, with a sequin skirt & when I went to Toronto in March 2013 for Fashion Week.
* Accessories: A.Co Designs key necklace & MK watch.
These photos are actually from months ago and I just realized I never posted them! Nothing too special, a simple metallic sweater I picked up during my trip to Vegas and some skinnies for a casual Friday during the winter. Definitely not wearing this sort of thing right now with the heat, thankfully.
How is everyone's week going? Mine is pretty awesome (even at times when it's not so awesome, let's be honest, we can all be a little more grateful for what we do have, than what we don't) and I'm counting down till the weekend. Love that it's a short week!
Happy 4th to all my American readers! Thanks for your continued support, comments, likes on FB and Instagram and tweets. And not just the Americans, but all my readers. You guys really make blogging more worthwhile and more enjoyable so thank YOU.
