As I mentioned, my weekend kicked off on Friday as I spent the day at Place d'Orleans mall with a small crew handing out candy and gift cards--basically spreading the love--to shoppers to thank them. It was a long day for the feet but so much fun. The entire thing was filmed which I will share as soon as it's finished.
These were the treats we gave out to shoppers in the mall.
Since I had a few minutes to spare after we finished, I popped in to Target to discover they still had a few Peter Pilotto pieces left, including this bikini top (I didn't like the bottoms). What luck! I didn't even try it on as I was feeling lazy, but it fits fairly well (size medium).
A sweet treat from a coworker--handmade to boot.
Friday night Valentines' dinner with my boo.
Marco took me to Luxe and I had the pork belly on lentils. It was okay but the sweet-potato coconut soup was amazing (two of my favourite things).
I wore the same denim and blazer from the day but swapped in a low-cut silk blouse & my Asos feather clutch.
Outfit deets: Vero Moda blazer, F21 top, H&M denim, Le Chateau boots & Asos clutch.
I splurged and had dessert; a deconstructed tart that was tangy and crumbly.
Saturday morning breakfast--what I eat every morning at work, but rarely on the weekends; oatmeal with flax, chia seeds, thawed berries & a ton of cinnamon (no sugar) + a peppermint tea.
I hit the gym solo on Saturday morning.
On Saturday night, my parents surprised me with a birthday dinner one month in advance--just like last year! They made my favourite meal: a full turkey dinner. My sister, brother-in-law, nephew, grandparents and best friends and her husband all came to celebrate with me. It was so nice.
It's been a long time since I've gotten balloons and despite that being a pretty special number on them, it felt so nice to get them!
Peanut is our family dog who lives with my parents. She is fourteen (!) and I love her so much. She's lost her hearing and we were recently informed she had a stroke a while ago so walking is a big troublesome, but it's a neurological issue, not a pain issue, fortunately.
Sunday morning gym sesh with my main squeeze.
Splurge! Breakfast out at our favourite spot and I got over-easy eggs instead of my usual scrambled #thingsthatneverhappen
I spent Sunday afternoon at the new condo, taking photos, and I filmed a tour of the place empty which I will eventually share. Later on, I met up with Marco and we decided to go back to the condo together after 10pm and bring a few things--I brought the snack.

Here is a little behind-the-scenes peek at my day last Friday at Place d'Orleans giving out candy and giftcards to spread to the love and thank the shoppers. A 'real' video of our day is being produced and I will share it with you here as soon as it goes live. Until then, here is a sneak peek for your enjoyment.
Today I'm going to be at Place d'Orleans mall all afternoon spreading the love--hello Valentines Day--as a thank you.
Come out and get a special treat; I'd love to meet you all! I'll be wandering around with a fun crew of people, so you surely won't be able to miss us (hello coordinating t-shirts).
Hope you have a great day and spread the #PDOLove
Outfit deets:
* Forever 21 coat (old) which I'm wearing layered a thrifted jacket I have (which you've also seen in an outfit post)--see how I layer my jackets HERE.
* Urban Planet leggings which you've seen here and also in olive green.
* Accessories: Ardene glasses, Aldo cross-body clutch & Joe Fresh gloves.
Yipee, today is my Friday! I took tomorrow off as I'm going to be shooting a video with Place d'Orleans at the mall and will be busy filming all day. I'm excited that I get to sleep in a little though beforehand and catch up a bit.
What are you all doing for Valentines'/Singles Awareness Day? I personally am a fan of the day, but I know not everyone is. Marco and I are going to keep it fairly low key this year since we have some big expenses coming up with the move, and I'm hoping for one of his amazing home-made meals with a bottle of wine... and maybe an episode or four of Breaking Bad.

I'm so excited to share with you all that I'm moving! No, my condo is not ready yet--more on that later--but I'm moving to a bigger, and better space and am so excited. I have been in my small, one-bedroom apartment for two and a half years now, and while I never planned to stay that long and have been frequently frustrated over the lack of dishwasher and in-unit laundry, I have really loved living here. I'm not so much as sad to leave, but it will be a transition for sure.
That said, things have happened a lot quicker than expected, but a wise friend said that when things fall into place as they are, with no hiccups, it's meant to be, and this case is no exception.
The search for a new place to live started several weeks ago, and I saw many places. When I saw this place, I couldn't stop thinking about it for days and almost two weeks later, it was a done deal! The move in date is on March 15th (my birthday!) but the keys have already been handed over, and the place is vacant so it will be a gradual move over the next few weeks and then one big moving day for the larger items.
I have been busy adding more items to my closet sale and will begin purging other items from my apartment. I'm going to be selling several pieces of my furniture as there just won't be space for them, and I'm looking forward to a fresh start.
I plan to take photos and a video tour of the place empty this weekend, and then of course vlog and share the moving and decorating process, and ultimately the final outcome, so stay tuned!
And the most exciting part of all, my new roommate...
