Friday night dinner out with my boo.  We grabbed some Vietnamese an impromptu Vietnamese dinner at Ox Head.

I picked up one of these wallflowers plugs from Bath & Body Works after work on Friday because while I love lighting candles almost nightly when I'm at home, I want the place to smell great to come home to.  I picked up two bulbs in a spiced pumpkin scent (can't remember the actual name) that were on sale for $3 each, and allhough this plug is chic enough to be out on display, where my plug is, it's hidden. 

Goofing around at the gym on Saturday.

I hit up Marshalls and ended up walking away with a ton of new workout gear--one item being this sports bra.  I filmed a haul video on Sunday afternoon so that will be up soon.  Are photos of interest to see the items too?

Saturday evening snowstorm. 

We had a birthday dinner on Saturday night for my Grammy at their residence, which was amazing--the food is always top notch there.  She looked amazing in her new top and jewelery.  My Grammy is such an inspiration as she's always so positive, her life motto is to 'live each and every day to the fullest'.

I picked up this New York tee from Walmart, in the men's section for $7, and cut out the neckline and took off the sleeves.  I will probably cut the hem aysemmetrically and wear this to the gym--I made it scoop low in the back--or under a blazer as a cool graphic tee.

Post gym #acolookdowns.  It's been so. freakin'. cold. lately, I have been living in my Uggs to keep my feet warm and dry.

Sunday brunch--it's been a while.

I spent Sunday late afternoon and evening filming two videos: a make-up tutorial with the Naked 2 palette and the workout clothing haul.  I'm trying something new with my set up since a friend has let me borrow a backdrop.

The final look after I finished filming the make-up tutorial.

Sunday night dinner with my chef boyfriend.

After dinner I edited my video and painted my  nails.  I used this new NYC Matte Crazy topcoat which was $2 and works well.  I ended up later adding a French-tip-like strip of shiny clear at the end of my nails, which looks subtly cool.

I threw my best friend a baby shower last weekend and I wanted to share some of the details with you.

I started planning in November, and began with designing an invite.  Since Sarah is having a boy, and loves grey, I chose the colour scheme of grey and turquoise.  From there I kept the theme cohesive by using the polka dots and the picture of the stylish, pregnant stick woman--a perfect emulation of Sarah.

I wanted everything to look very Pinterest, as Sarah had pinned and mentioned several things she liked in conversation of the course of several months.  As she is very creative--hello weekly chalkboard preggo pics--I wanted to do her proud and really focus on small details that make a big impact.

I'd love to share some photos with you if you'd like to see...

Since Sarah doesn't like cake, I special ordered 24 mini pies from Life of Pie in Ottawa in her favourites: strawberry-rhubarb, blueberry & pecan.  I displayed them on a cake stand and stuck in little toothpick decorations I made.

More pictures after the jump…

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!
