Happy Canada Day everyone! Today we celebrate Canada's 147th birthday.
This morning, after a minor sleep in, I hit the gym and then made breakfast for Marco and I. He's been working a little bit this afternoon while I have done some cleaning around the condo and made a salad for the BBQ we are attending shortly. It's a beautiful day here, with some crazy humidity so minimal clothing that's comfy is key.
If you're in Canada, hope you're having a wonderful day & sporting your #redandwhite. Cheers!

Holy smokes, here comes July! Doesn't it seem like every month we all claim, 'OMG, can you believe it's (insert month here) already?!' It's hard to believe the longest day of the year has come and gone but summer is just kicking off (thankfully, because we had one helluva long winter here in Ottawa!).
In June I shared the finished (ish) result of my closet - office room. Marco did an amazing job building a beautiful space for me and I will film a video tour in the coming weeks (aka, as soon as I clean up all my clothes off the floor).
I kicked off the month with a week-long trip to Vegas where temperatures soared above 100F; I did a ton of walking, some shopping and plenty of eating. I shared what I packed, a Vegas Photo Diary, and some snapshots via Instagram.
When we got back, my Dad had generously spent two days polishing my car for me--something I did on my last car when I first bought it, which took me six hours straight. He knew how much I was dreading doing it again, but I seriously owe him huge and am so thankful.
The following weekend Marco and I popped down to New York state for the day to do some shopping and pick up my new Iro shoes (ordered online in Vegas after trying on the sand suede version). I also grabbed a few make-up items from Walmart and to recap am really loving that Neutrogena lip gloss (in #40 Gleam).
I shared my pretty-basic skincare routine, rocked some full length overalls and attended the wedding of a good friend (where Marco played the bride down the aisle with his guitar!). We got our new couch that we had been waiting four months for, I sold my old furniture, worked out almost every day and tried out the slouchy pant trend (spoiler: I'm converted!).

On Friday night I hit the gym and went home to relax on the new couch with my fave beer. Hello weekend!
I picked up a few things to make this snack-y plate since we were both not looking for a huge meal. The dips are hummus and tzatziki, I had roasted turkey, genoa salami, cucumbers, walnuts, olives, grapes and white pita for Marco. We spent the night just hanging out, and ended up watching Lone Solider later on (such a good movie, and based on a true story so a real tear jerker).
The next morning I...

While I would love to photograph all my outfits, it's slightly unrealistic so I often take a daily pic and share them on my Instagram under the hashtag album #acolookdowns.
I thought I would share a few of this week an last week's outfits here, as seen on Instagram (I'm acoest1984).
Outfit deets: Max Studio sweater (new!), Vero Moda skirt & Liliana wedges.

I love looking at flat layouts so thought I would start a new series of sharing what I wear to workout, depending on the activity.
For today's post, I'm sharing what I would wear for a typical leg day. I tend to wear leggings (over shorts) since I'm doing a lot of squats, lunges and general bending over-ness (ha). I love wearing bright colours to the gym so these purple pants and neon orange sports bra fit the bill. I tend to alternate snug fitting tops to bubble tops depending on how I'm feeling.
More recently, I've started wearing skate shoes for leg day as typical gym shoes--like my Nike Free 3.0's--are made to lift your heels and push your weight towards your toes. When squatting, it's important to keep your weight in your heels and it's recommended to wear a shoe that is flat; Converse would work well, and I often see heavy lifters going bare-foot.
Lastly, pumping music is key for me and I like to switch it up between the music on my iPod and the music I stream on my phone via Soundcloud playlists I create.
