Outfit deets:  
* Vintage top (thrifted).
* Mossimo pants that I picked up in Florida a couple years ago; you've seen them with this jacket before (which I was referencing when I got dressed) and on the weekend.
* Aldo wedge boots (Givenchy inspired) which I'm competely obsessed with and showcased in my most recent Fall Fashion video.
* Accessories:  Joe Fresh necklace (old), G21 sunnies, gifted square bangle, Suzy leather wrap bracelet & F21 bangle.

I know I'm kind of bombarding you with posts this week, but, I'm trying to make up for being so slack last week, and also, sometimes the inspiration, ideas and writing comes, and sometimes it doesn't.  I was so beat when I got home from work last night but I told myself, 'No, we're going back down and shooting these photos'--as well as the photos for my 'new' boots.

How is everyone's week thus far?  Mine has been fine, my evenings have been busy but last night was a total relax night (aside from doing dishes for an hour).  Speaking of relaxing, how anti-climatical was the ending of Dexter on Sunday.  What.  The.  Fudg..sicle?!  I'm sad it's over, but not nearly as sad as I would of been had it been a heart-wrenchingly upsetting ending.  I just feel kind of meh about it.  Like, oh well.  That ain't right.




I'm talking Fall fashion for this Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger video and I'm actually excited Autumn has arrived and is in full swing.  Normally I'm so sad to see Summer go, plus equally or more depressed about the impending arrival of Winter, but this year, I'm just embracing the cooler weather the best I can.  Additionally, since we are experiencing cooler temps so soon, it's exciting to purchase items that can be worn without a heavy jacket and shown off.

In this video I show you some key Fall trends and how I'm wearing them.  I filmed this video and edited in a way I've never done before--I'm learning!--but you'll have to watch to see what I'm talking about.  I know a lot of you loved the Aldo wedge boots I wore in my Weekend Snaps a couple weeks ago and they are making their official debut in this video, so watch to get all the nitty gritty.

And, if you don't know how I came to be the PDO Fashion Vlogger, CLICK HERE and that should answer any questions.

As always, thanks for watching & stay tuned to the Place d'Orleans Facebook page for more videos!

If you've been following along on my boot-lowering/heel-shortening process, you know about these boots.  If not, you can read about it HERE.

I finally picked up my boots after having the heel shortened on them at Bells Corners Shoe Repair in Ottawa.  Alex and Tony did a great job and I'm so pleased as these boots were basically written off to the land of decorative shoes for almost four years.  You can see me wearing them--the one & only time--HERE.

As promised, I took photos of before and after to share here as I've never had boots lowered before and didn't even really know if it was possible.  It is and I considered it well worth it to do so since they are brand new, real leather and boots that I'm still loving many years after getting them.

Read on to see the before and after transformation (also note that the photos I took before were pre-DSLR-photography class and my post photos are much better, if I do say so myself).


* Note: it says on the website they are 5 inch wedges but I measured my measuring tape before taking them in to be modified and they were a solid 6 inches.

Thanks for watching!
I wore my new shoes two days in a row last weekend since (1) I gave myself a pedicure, and (2) the weather is really cooling down and it will be too cold to wear these soon--okay and (3) I love them a lot.


Pretty flowers from Mel.


At the Catalina Wine Mixer on Friday night; an annual party that took place at a different location this year.  See our picture from last year--when we first started dating.


The semi-spread; which grew over the evening with samosas and more yummy treats.


Finally getting together with Melissa from Welcome to Planet MelMac--and giver of flowers.
Outfit deets:  Suzy Shier top (old), Foxy jeans, thrifted belt & Ardene flats.


Saturday was a complete write off but I managed to go to Five Guys with my guy and chow down on the most delicious fries ever... and a really great burger.  I'm not much of a fry person, I like them, but rarely eat them.  Saturday though?  I practically wrestled Marco for my fair share of half the cup.


Sunday morning breakfast.  I didn't eat the sausage, it just wasn't agreeing with me.


Sunday morning get-up: comfy & very casual.


Sunday afternoon I pulled myself together to film my next Place d'Orleans video!  It's all about Fall Fashion Trends and I picked up some wicked stuff that I'm excited to share with you.  This was one of the looks.


Sunday late afternoon I finished filming and spent the evening editing.  Afterwards, I watched the season and series finale of Dexter--ummm, wtf?--which I'm so sad to see end.

Happy Monday!
