Outfit deets: 

* Forever 21 jacket (last year) which you've seen with pastel skinnies & also with a different pastel and neon all at once (which I ended up really liking as a combo).

* Dynamite top (last year).

* Laguna jeans (old) which you saw years ago when I purchased them and again in one of my favourite outfit posts ever.

How is everyone's week going?  We're halfway to the weekend so that's always pleasant and today, after a car appointment, I will be heading to the mall to start my shopping for my next video.  I'll be showcasing some holiday looks, so I'm hoping to have some luck tonight.  

I love shopping for holiday parties and am hoping to get the chance to wear the special dress I purchased last year--the same one I wore for the PDO Christmas Campaign photoshoot--and never got to rock.  Sequins, black & gold scream festive if anything but.  At this point, I have no Christmas party to attend, but I suppose that could change.  What about yourself?  And, have you chosen what to wear yet?

See you tomorrow!

Friday night I made Epic Fish Tacos for Marco, as a surprise, and greeted him at the door with a bottle of beer, which went over really well.  The dinner turned out really well and I made everything from scratch--well, except the tortillas.

Saturday morning was brunch with my family and some shopping.  Later on though, we went out for Sri Lankan food--a first for me--with Marco's best girl friend.

Outfit deets:  Dynamite jacket (old), American Apparel leather-look leggings, Aldo cross-body / clutch, Ardene shoes & Joe Fresh circle scarf.

After dinner, the three of us headed to a friend's place for a UFC watching party which involved tons of food, an impromptu game of limbo that was caught on video (notice I am the limbo stick), beer, swapping specs & of course, UFC.

Sunday morning I slept in big time and took a slow start to the day.  I went to the gym…

…and then out to breakfast with my main squeeze.

I sent Sunday afternoon doing a bit of shopping but the evening was uber quiet and relaxing and chilling with this furry friend #eveyabish

Sunday evening chicken fajitas (we love Mexican food!).

Outfit deets:

* Urban Planet sweater.

* Seduction jeans (old) which you've seen with a black oxford and wedges.

* Spring boots (from last year) which I've worn to death and refuse to give up because (1) they are so comfy, (2) totally my style, and (3) hidden wedge with an option to wear the boot shaft up or rolled down like seen here.  Love love love them--they were my go-to last winter every weekend.  Get a better look at them this time last year not folded down with magenta skinnies.

* Accessories:  Garage fingerless gloves (new!), Spring headband (new!) & Aeropostale circle scarf (new!).

It's almost Friday, it's almost the weekend!  Picture me singing that because I'm so excited to sleep in and do whatever I want for a couple days in a row.  

I stopped by H&M tonight and was seriously disappointed the Isabel Marant for H&M collection is apparently not coming to Ottawa.  What?  Dislike.  That said, I meandered around and tried on six things and walked away with something I was actually looking for: a snug, black dress with sleeves.  I pinned a picture recently of an inspiring photo and found an almost identical dress--for $15  (hello)  so naturally I bought it.  

Normally I don't go for tight, tight, tight, but this was an exception and inexpensive so less guilt.  I can't find the actual dress on the H&M website but it also comes in navy (they didn't have my size or she would have come home with me too) and orange. 

And in other news, these photos were taken during filming of my most recent video, Bundling Up (for winter).  Some of the pictures came out so I thought I'd share them on here as an outfit post--why not.
