Bring on March and the last few days of my twenties! (whoa)
In February I celebrated Sarah's bump with her family, visited Marco's family in Kingston and made few H&M purchases while there. I bought a couple pairs of boots (in an attempt to replace old, worn out ones), new to me-but last season Zara shoes and finally wore my OTK boots more than a few times (hoorah for dry pavement).
I showcased several outfits (maroon leather jacket, tweet + fur coat) and became a Style Ambassador for Clearly Contacts. I purged my closet big time & had a sale, spent the day at Place d'Oleans thanking shoppers & received an early birthday gift (Vince Camuto & Michael Kors bracelets, yo!).
My family & friends surprised me with an intimate early-birthday celebration, I got super sick with a sinus cold at the end of the month and stood up for #PINKSHIRTDAY with another Clearly Contacts collab.
And the most exciting news of February, Marco and I decided to move in together, found a place and signed a lease. We shared a special 'first meal' picnic, I showed you my new kitchen--and love for faux leather pants--we furniture shopped (see my outfit here) & I goofed around in our new space. Can't wait to move in next weekend!

I feel like almost everyone & their mother owns these Zara beauties from last summer and I specifically made a point not to purchase them--not because I didn't want them, simply because I didn't need them.
Well, enter Zara semi-annual sale and one pair left in my size for $19.99.
SOLD!
And so, these sweet sandals came home with me. That said, if you're still hung up on them, there are still a bunch kicking around on eBay and while you'll pay a pretty penny unlike myself, you'll likely end up with a pair without a pen mark on the back side... unlike myself.
* I know I shared these in my Weekend Snaps, but I feel all new shoes--that are pretty enough--deserve their own post.
* Here is this year's version of the sandal, with a slightly thicker heel.
Souchi sweaters
These sweaters look the same, don't they? So why the huge price difference, you might ask. The Claudia, on the right, is hand loomed 100% cashmere, made in the USA. The Patrizia, on the left, is kind of like a less expensive baby sister; she is made by machine, still cashmere, and still in the USA.
I found this little gem of a sweater on Pinterest and immediately went to the Souchi site to check out what else they had to offer. Beautiful pieces at higher price points, but after browsing around, this is still my favourite--I would take Patrizia, because I'm frugal like that. #dreaming
I know many of you are wondering what the heck is going on with my condo!? Well, I finally have some news to share as they have finally broke ground... sort of. They're clearing the way to break ground and have fenced off the area, so, that's the same, right?
When I purchased my condo in July of 2012, it was planned to be ready for this coming November. However, since it's a new build, it's not uncommon for these things to be pushed back--which it was, until June 2015.
This past Fall, I went in to see if there was any way to get out of my contract and ultimately get my money back. I even had my Lawyer confirm that it was not possible and so, the best way to look at this in an optimistic way, which is as an investment property.
About two months after I signed on the dotted line, I met Marco, and as you know now, we are moving in together. I don't see us moving into my condo once it's ready, as it is significantly smaller than the place we are going to in just over a week, but I'm hoping I will be able to rent it out instead. If that is not financially feasible when the time comes, then worst case scenario I will sell it. Either way, I just have to wait (and of course document the progress on here with you guys) for another year an a bit.
Here are a few photos from last weekend and the 'progress' so far...
Remember when it was summer & this was a field behind me?

As a Style Ambassador for Clearly Contacts, we've teamed up again in support of Anti-Bullying Day (February 26th) to spread awareness.
The cool frames I'm sporting are the Derek Cardigan--which I got in sunglass form--but any frames you purchase today, Clearly Contacts will donate $5 to CKNW Orphan's Fund in support of Anti-Bullying.
Happy shopping for a great cause. #PinkShirtDay
