Friday night I hit the gym after work and then decided to take a little trip out to Orleans to start my shopping for my next video. I found a few things, but this jumper was not one of them. Being tall has plenty of downfalls, one of them being it almost impossible to find rompers that are long enough in the body!
Jumpsuit: Dynamite
Saturday morning.
More photos after the jump...

I arrived yesterday--after pulling an all nighter--at 11am Vegas time. Dropped off the bags in the and went out to explore. Ended up eating some great Mexican food at a place called Javier's in the Aria resort and then took a 6-hour nap! Clearly pulling an all-nighter is not ideal, but when you have to leave for the airport at 3:30am, it almost seems pointless to go to bed--that and I'm a horrible last-minute packer.
Speaking up packing, I will be sharing what I've brought on this trip tomorrow, along with my weekend snaps later today. Hope you don't mind on the delay. Additionally, I edited a new haul video on the plane so expect that sometime this week too.
It's only 8am here and I'm up and off to the gym, then to find breakfast. Today will be an exploring-the-strip kind of day, I'm thinking. Was so excited to fluke and catch the fountain show last night at the Bellagio so I can check that off my list. Thanks everyone so much for the fabulous suggestions for the city on my post last week--so helpful and can't wait to check some of them out.
May has come and gone and it was the first month we finally felt settled in our new place. After two months of living in boxes and trying to figure out how to amalgamate two places into one, it's finally feeling organized.
Marco's parent's came down at the beginning of the month and we spent the day in Chinatown. I filmed a video for Clearly Contacts about why I became a #StyleAmbassador and how to pick the perfect frames. We finished my closet - office room (I'm sharing photos this week of how it looks now!) and I grew my nails out again (which have since all been bitten off--wah wah).
I shared a sneak peek of our bedroom (which has a ways to go before it's done) but we did get some new pillows that fit the new bed, so that's pretty nice. I wore a new palm printed coat, got flowers from a friend and created a new way to store and display my shoes.
I played a tennis a bunch of times--and have improved a little but might need actual lessons--was sent some really nice flowers and shared my Spring Trends video. We went to Taco Fest in Ottawa, I shared my new favourite jeans, I purchased some really cool new wedges & kicked my workouts into high gear by going almost daily for the last two weeks of the month.
As always, thanks for being here and reading along. I love connecting with you, so with that, tell me your favourite May memory in the comments below.
Outfit deets:
* Dynamite jacket which you've seen with a sweater dress & booties, with waxed denim (an older favourite outfit post), and with leggings and a tight top years ago.
* American Eagle top (remember this in my, 'What to Wear on a Date' post?) with Urban Planet cami underneath which I wore on my birthday (here in black).
* Parasuco denim which you've seen with a purple flawy top.
* Liliana wedges which you've seen with a white dress, with a printed sundress, during a night out with girlfriends, with a 'Nurse' dress & with a pencil skirt and a peplum top last summer.
* Accessories: Swarovski & Old Navy bangles, H&M rings with gifted chain bracelet.
I'm not sure what has been going on with me lately, but I have been facing a serious creative block. I've been unmotivated to blog, film or edit videos and just be in this space. This is something I genuinely enjoy--if I didn't, why bother continuing--but lately I feel so... blah.
A fellow creative-type friend and I were chatting about the slump and offered some wise words:
"You will find slumps in creativity extremely dreadful. You want to create and when you don't, it makes you feel terrible. It's a cycle, but the slump will pass. In the meantime, do what you are currently doing and that is to push through. It sucks for now, and you might feel antsy, but then all of a sudden, BOOM! The damn breaks and your back in the swing of things."
Here's hoping my upcoming vacation is just what I need to break the damn, so to speak. Happy Thursday.

I finally pulled together all the footage from my trip to Punta Cana last month off both our phones, my iPad and the GoPro and there is a lot of footage. I started sorting through it all, but put together a 15 second trailer for the interim.
I hope to get the full video up by next week, which is always posted on my YouTube channel first, so subscribe there if you'd like, and see you tomorrow!
