Hey guys, thanks for popping in to hang out for a minute. Some of you have been leaving me some really nice comments lately while some people have not been following the, 'If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all'-adage.
I love blogging and connecting with you all. I have said it before, and I'll say it again: my life is not perfect, I have hardships, emotions and difficult days. What I share here is meant to be positive, uplifting and generally enjoyable for anyone who might stumble over here (or check in on the daily because I know some of you are simply awesome like that). I don't expect everyone to like me or agree with what I'm doing or how I'm living. That said, I do expect everyone to be respectful and kind. I try to treat everyone I encounter with respect and kindness and if my blog isn't your cup of tea, no need to be nasty, simply move on to something that is.
On the flip side, to the reader friends who have been here for a long time, or a short time, and leave the sweetest comments, sometimes even defending comments, or simply enjoy my blog silently, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Putting yourself out there on the Internet is going to cause some drama, at some point, and I love that you have my back and enjoy this space. That makes me want to continue and share and be here too.
For now, I have changed the comment settings so you will have to sign in if you would like to comment. I know a lot of you leave positive comments under anon, so I'm sorry to remove that option for the time being. You can always send me an email or tweet me (@acoest1984) if you'd like. BIG HUG and thanks for reading.

I'm finally got around to editing the vlog footage from a couple weekends (July 4 - 6) ago so here we go. In this vlog Marco and I go out to eat, we hit the gym, have my parents for dinner and I show a bit of my messy closet. We head out to a movie and sing a little in car (cringe!).
Thanks for watching!

On Friday night I got home and had a headache and a pretty awful day, so I got into my comfy clothes and watched some YouTube in bed. I decided to whip up some thai chicken lettuce wraps (recipe coming soon!) since I had some chicken in the fridge once I started feeling hungry.
Outfit deets: 90 Degree by Reflex tank, MPG leggings, Velocity sports bra & Nike Free 3.0.
I chatted with a girlfriend and since Marco was away for the weekend with some friends, I decided to lift my spirits and hit the gym. I had a good workout and came home and edited my Katy Perry footage into a mini recap video of the concert.
More photos after the jump...
Outfit deets:
* Garage kimono sweater which you've seen in a sand colour and on the weekend (in the sand colour).
* Joe Fresh tank.
* Vintage leather skirt (thrifted years ago & made in Canada which I thought was pretty cool).
* Iro heels.
* Accessories: Urban Planet necklace, Gucci sunglasses, Aldo & Michael Kors bangles.
I know I'm wearing these shoes a lot, which is pretty unlike me as I like to rotate through as much as possible, but I can't get enough of them. You know they're good when you wear them multiple times per week and want to pair them with everything.
This is what I wore when I went out to Tennessy Willems the other night, but was coming from work so there was no outfit change. I cannot get enough of black on black and while I used to feel so strange wearing it in the summer, now I can't seem to get enough. Lately I have been gravitating towards neutrals and simple silhouettes; it's all I want to wear!
That said, I love being able to pair some of my warmer weather neutral pieces together to achieve a summer appropriate look. For instance, leather shorts (or a skirt like this) with a tank or white pants with a grey sleeveless blouse. I used to poke fun at my mom's wardrobe which is chronically black and white, and now, it seems I'm following directly in her footsteps!
