Since I was sick all last week, my weekend was pretty low key and these weekend snaps are pretty boring with a lot of restaurant food--a nice change from five days of home-made egg-mcmuffin breakfasts, apples with cheese snacks and soup for dinner. We had our new bed delivered, cable installed, ordered our sectional and found a mattress. Read on to see basically what I ate...
Friday night on my own I had no groceries and did not feel up to going out so I ordered Greek on Wheels and edited some footage (if you'd like, see Sarah's baby shower video here).
I slept in Saturday morning and then did some light packing. I used some winter accessories & pashminas to wrap up a few fragile items. I am moving this Sunday!
On our way to the new spot, we stopped for chicken sandwiches and I splurged on fries (I never get fries but had a hankering).
I showered, got dressed and did my hair for the first time in a week. I didn't feel great, but improved, which was a nice change from being so sick with a terrible sinus cold. Here I am with our new bed! We had scheduled the delivery over a week ago so it was a real week brightener.
The view from our new place--will be so nice in the summer with the water.
A sneak peak at the closet in the second bedroom with a few things. I still have so much to bring but have purged a lot.
Quiet Saturday night in, resting more with some Carribean take-out.
Sunday morning I was woken at 8:45am by a call from the cable guy who was going to be at our new place, 'in five minutes'. Panic! I jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, tossed my make-up in a bag and rushed off. I called Marco immediately and he showed up just minutes after me with Tim Hortons in hand--so perfect.
It took over three hours for the guy to install the cable and Internet and we just sat around on our phones--isn't technology grande? Afterwards, we ordered our new sectional and found a mattress which is being delivered on Tuesday. Then home to rest for a few hours.
Later in the evening we returned to the new spot and did a few loads of laundry. The fact that we have some fresh towels ready to go for when we move in makes me happy. Plus, four fewer things to move.
The rest of the night was spent assembling our new bed since it's the only chance we have before the mattress arrives. I'm so pleased with how it looks and can't wait to see it in the daylight. Still need to buy a duvet, bedspread and throw pillows. I've already purchased a set of sheets which I'll have to wash this week prior to move day. Exciting time!

For my video lovers, here's a repeat on my life update. Move date is next weekend; can't wait!
I am a shoe lover, and if there is one thing I will splurge on, it's shoes. I have a special birthday quickly approaching, a big one you guys, and while I likely won't buy myself a gift--as some people do--I can still ooh and ahh over these beauties above. I'd love to add any or all three to my collection.
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.
