I know I say this pretty much every month, but I'm really excited to share my 17th video as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger with you. For this video I purchased seven key Fall pieces and mixed and matched them all to create several different outfits (I'm sure you could even come up with more!). Additionally, I had help shooting this video making it way more awesome than it would have been if I had used my tripod.
I love all the pieces I picked out and am showcasing in this video, especially the black sweater. The combat/moto boots I picked up from Aldo are like nothing I own...and a little outside of my comfort zone, to be honest! All in the name of fashion, though, plus I like pushing my own fashion limits; why not? By the end of shooting this video I was kind of in love with the boots and am looking forward to roughing them up a little so they look even more bad ass (and to contradict that point, I bought black shoe polish when I purchased them...hmmm).
Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans Facebook page).

What a week! It's been a busy one and it's only Wednesday but I wanted to check in to let you know I'm still around and kicking. Sorry for the lack of posts but I thought today, instead of doing a Let's Chat--especially since there hasn't been much chatting in the comments section lately--I could just chat and catch up with all of you instead.
So this week I'm acting in a different position at work, while doing my current job and it's kind of wearing me out. I get home and I'm a bit of a zombie and have been hitting the sack early (kind of bonus, actually, because I for one need my sleep).
I've been vlogging a bit this week--are you guys enjoying the vlogs?--and last night I did some major closet tidying, which will be including in the upcoming video.
As far as my evenings have gone, I've taken advantage of having two me-nights in a row to recharge my batteries, be home solo and get stuff done. I did all my dishes--I tend to let those pile up, and don't have a dishwasher!--got four loads of laundry done, cleaned my closet, caught up with my favourite YouTubers and tidied my apartment. I keep wanting to do an apartment tour or a closet tour, it's been requested a few times, but since I'm in such a small space, it tends to get messy frequently. That said, since I got a good chunk of my closet tidied (the messier part, that is) last night, I might be ambitious and film it next week.
Otherwise, I'm counting down until the weekend. We are having a BBQ for my sister's birthday on Saturday and my out-of-town grandparents are coming, which I'm ridiculously excited about! Add that to sleeping in, hopefully beautiful weather and a new-to-me romper I plan on wearing and the weekend is looking good.
Happy hump day!

This is a long one, but I filmed over the course of a week. In this vlog, I do some shopping, include my bff, share some outfits, show you how to prepare corn on the cob for the BBQ and a late night snack run with my boyfriend.
My casual Friday work outfit; I liked it more and more as the day went on--does that ever happen to you?--so thought I'd share. I typically post my daily looks on Instagram under the hashtag #acolookdowns.
Outfit deets: American Eagle top, H&M denim skinnies & Diva Lounge wedges.
Friday night date night at Miko Sushi; if you're looking for good sushi, please don't go there. If you're a bit of a sushi snob, like us, you won't like it. The fish was not terribly fresh, portions were small and there was nothing special about it. To top it off, the service was terrible. Needless to say, we won't be back.
Outfit deets: Jacob sweater (new!), DIY denim cut-offs (thrifted men's pants turned shorts), Zara heels & Mossimo clutch (old).
Saturday night dinner: sausages & salae (one splurgy bun for me!).
Saturday night Walmart run to get some treats for a movie night. Earlier that day I realized we were rockin' a twinsies look; the cashier at Walmart loudly pointed it out too.
Sunday morning breakfast: 3 egg whites + 1 egg over easy on toasted ww multigrain & left over turkey bacon from Saturday morning with a peppermint tea.
I spent the day on Sunday doing me. I took outfit photos, filmed a haul video, edited some of my vlog, went shopping--I decided to return the Zara heels I recently purchased--and hit the gym.
Outfit deets: DIY'ed Tina Turner shirt ("Live in Concert!", thrifted), H&M skirt, Aldo wedges, F21 bralette & Ardene cross-body bag.
Did some editing on Sunday morning before heading out. Will have a vlog up tonight from the past week! See my other vlogs HERE.
I worked out on Saturday and Sunday; I recently joined a new gym and love the facility, that said, it's still difficult to get there, but I got it in this weekend.
Sunday night BBQ once again at #Skybox2013; always a good time. Marco made us steaks and mine was perfectly cooked the way I like, rare. This was also my first corn on the cob of the season. Last week, Sarah and I had a conversation about corn on the cob, and really, it's non-health benefits despite being a 'vegetable'. Despite all that, it still tasted delicious and like summertime.
My new favourite wine, Apothic Red; a blend of shirz, merlot, cab sauv & zinfandel. Amaze.
Enjoying another beautiful sunset; Summer please don't go.
Outfit deets:
* Nine West dress from The Bay (new this summer) which I love. I showcased it in my, 'What to Wear to a Summer Event' video. The a-line silhouette is not my typical pick but I love how I feel in this and it is very figure flattering. I've only worn it a couple times in a few months because it's so unique looking but it would be perfect for picnics, a baby or bridal shower, a lunch date and as I wore it: for work.
* Gap cardigan (old) in navy.
* BCBG nude peep-toe pumps (old).
The quality of these pictures turned out terribly, and because I was using my point-and-shoot, I didn't realize until I was exporting them off my camera.
Ugh.
Whatever though, I wanted to share because the outfit was pretty and I felt good in it. Additionally, I post fewer than few outfits so really can't afford not to share this one.
The good news is the weekend is almost here and tonight is my last volleyball game before the tournament in a couple weeks. I joined a beach volleyball league for the first time this summer (I've only ever played indoor before) and while I have enjoyed it, the get-sand-in-place-UOENO, has run it's course. Basically I'm sick of having a permanent hair-washing date every Thursday night so cyanara beach v-ball.
And a fun one from the 'gram...
