We found this amazing sunflower patch and knew we'd have to use it shoot an outfit post. Only days early they were holding their faces high to the sky, soaking up the afternoon sun but by the time we arrived, they were heavy and starting to fall. Still beautiful nonetheless.
Hope you're all having a great week!

September is here and while I can't wait to bundle up in boots, leggings, leather jackets and beanies, I'm secretly hoping for an Indian Summer to prolong the warm weather for as long as possible.
In August I celebrated my nephew's first birthday (in a maxi dress I made last summer), shared my recipe for Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and filmed a quick and easy hair tutorial on my go-to bun. I bought a cool earring cuff (from H&M), went to a cottage with 15 friends for a weekend (see the three-minute video recap here) and participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (and yes, I donated too).
I showed you my secret to making dresses appear longer, tried ramen for the first time (meh), and shared my looks for Back-to-School in a video. I celebrated my bestie's birthday, bought a couple pairs of heels and shared an outfit with a top that's been on repeat all summer.
Marco bought me a hat, I took full advantage of the rooftop garden we have here (hello basil!) and we hosted am all-night party at our place to round out the Labour Day weekend.
Happy September!

Saturday morning gym sesh: arm day.
I usually do arms (biceps & triceps) on Friday evening but had a birthday party to attend so skipped my workout. I didn't take any photos at the party, but it was a really cool home-wine-tasting get together with plenty of delicious food as well.
Post workout brunch at Salt.
We spent Saturday afternoon at our new friend's pad, on the rooftop pool soaking up the last days of summer. As excited as I am for Fall, I am not looking forward to putting away my sandals and what comes after that (snow, ack!).
We decided to try out Salt yesterday for brunch, after the gym with a friend and I hadn't planned on sharing this eating out experience, but figured why not.
First off, the restaurant is gorgeous inside and if you're from Ottawa, you know this was formerly a Broadways and very casual. It's now transformed into a velvet-and-crystal-chanelier chic lounge with beautiful, moody decor, plush arm chairs, a grand piano in the front bar, an open kitchen and completely overhauled bathrooms.
Heading back to school? I've got three chic yet comfortable looks that you have you looking your best for the new school year. However, if you're like me and not heading back to school, these looks will take you into your weekend and make getting dressed a cinch.
As always, thanks for watching! xo
