A make-over for my site has been a long time coming and while I will eventually switch over to another platform and get more customized, I'm really happy to share with you a more streamlined version of my blog.

So what's changed?

|  There are navigational pages at the top, so if you're new--or not--you can easily find your way around.

|  The search bar has moved up to the top and you can easily access all my social media links below it.

|  The formatting is a little different, and I'm really pleased with how my posts align now, with the title front and centre along with the date.

|  Another cool option, you can share all posts with one click!  Below each post, there is a Facebook / Twitter / Pinterest option for sharing, which will open up a share window for you to easily post to your favourite social media site--that is, if you want to share something.

|  I created a new header to be congruous with my business cards, Style Consulting business and other social media platforms. 


And finally, the design was done by Mlekoshi Playground & offered by Luvly.co.

As always, thanks so much for coming here and checking out what I'm up to.  I hope you like the new layout and find it more pleasing to the eye and easier to read.  Feedback is welcome as I want this to be a place you want to come, enjoy and like looking at.

Friday night pedicures with my bestie--so needed.


I threw on my favourite boots since it was dry outside with no sign of snow nor ice to head to my man's place later on.


A mishmash dinner on Friday night of take-out pad thai & Bourbon chicken.


Saturday early morning gym sesh; I ran for the first time in a while.  My calves still hurt.


The fresh pedi with an awkward foot shot.


I spent the entire day on Saturday running errands in preparation for Sarah's baby shower that I was throwing on Sunday… except for a two hour break in Winners.  I loved the cut and fit of these sweatpants--to wear with heels--but I couldn't get past the colour as I would really like these in a charcoal heather grey instead.  I did, however, purchase the top I'm wearing (it's Vero Moda).


My favourite steeped tea getting me through the day.


Much, much later on Saturday night, once all baby shower preparations were finished, I slipped into some OTK boots and had an impromptu date night with Marco.


We went to Lonestar and on a whim, and at his suggestion I got a lime Margarita… and then I got a second one.


Sunday was the baby shower and it went perfectly.  I was so please with how the table turned out, I worked so hard on creating and designing all the decorations.  More pictures and detailed shots to come.


My outfit for the shower.
Outfit deets: Spense top (new!), Urban Planet leatherette leggings, Liliana wedges (new!) & Auslini bangle.


A sweet treat while watching Breaking Bad on Sunday night; a Wendy's frosty--mmm!




I'm so behind in sharing these on my  blog but the truth is, I took far longer than I hoped to edit them and get them up… and Sunday's vlog is still in the editing queue.  Trials and tribs, I tell ya; I'll post it here once complete though so check back.

Thanks for watching! xo

Curled hair & pink lips for the work day earlier this week.
Outfit deets: H&M dress, Swarovski earrings & Maybelline Coloursensational in Fuchsia Flash.


A pic that wasn't included in the full outfit post.


I shared this photo on Instagram with my new shoes--having a major ankle strap moment--and asked you guys to weigh in.  While I love both, I'm digging the yellow more.

Off the shoulder for a night out with my man and his friends.

We ate at Izakya, which we have been really excited to try, unfortunately it was a major bust.  We were so disappointed with the food.  On that note, if you're looking to try it out, Wednesday night is 50% off night on the entire menu.


Apres dinner.
Outfit deets: F21 coat, Joe Fresh gloves, Parasuco denim, Aldo boots & clutch.


When I can't share an outfit on my blog, I often post it to Instagram under #acolookdowns


I made pulled pork sandwiches--with a paprika rub, some maple syrup, a can of Guinness and the crock pot--on Thursday evening and home-made 'slaw.


I'm the newest Style Ambassador for Clearly Contacts--more to come on that--and the glasses I picked out arrived yesterday!  So excited about these Dolce & Gabbana specs.

Happy Friday!  Yipee!



I saw this tag and thought I would bing-bang-BOOM and filmed it asap.  What do you guys think of the new backdrop?  Like?  Dislike?  I'm trying new things and switching it up.  

As always, thanks for watching! xo
