Hello ladies!  Happy Monday--hope you had a great weekend and Halloween.  I kept busy and we had some beautiful weather so without further adieu, onto the snaps...

Friday was Halloween and two days before I decided to dress up as a pink flamingo


We had a huge potluck lunch at work which was delicious--so many great dishes brought in by everyone (I made a black bean salad).  The downfall?  Spilling sauce on my pink costume shirt!  #soclumsy


Friday night I went to the gym with a girl friend and we did legs (and butt).  I am working on a few workout posts but to give you an idea of what we did:

I know I'm a little late, but we had a Halloween party last night, despite being the day after, and I wanted to share our costumes.

Marco came up with the idea to be mimes and I was able to mostly pull things from our closets to complete our outfits.  I picked up his striped shirt at Joe Fresh and bought white cream make-up for our faces.

Happy Halloween!  Despite being confused with a ballerina 50% of the time, this pink flamingo costume was a big hit and cute at the same time.  I hadn't planned to dress up during the day today but then I saw Veronika's adorable flamingo DIY for her daughter and it sparked an idea for myself.

We are in full swing Fall here in Ottawa so I've picked up a bunch of items for my favourite season.  This time of year is all about layers, dark and moody colours and natural materials like suede and knits.  Check out my newest video on Fall fashion above to see what I scored.

Outfit deets:
* Old Navy jacket (old; similar)
* Accessories: Laundry by Shelli Segal fingerless gloves (similar texture, similar colour & splurge)  & Call It Spring circle scarf (old; similar, pretty grey option)

Just a quick post today on a couple outfits I shared on Instagram recently.  Not every outfit can be a 'photoshoot outfit' but I still like to share what I'm wearing (even for myself to look back for outfit inspiration!).

I've included links to similar items since a lot of my clothes are things I've had for a few years and I'm constantly re-styling them in different ways.  The boots up top I picked up in the Spring at BCBG super on sale and this was my first time wearing them--finally!  The sneakers below are the ones I picked up in Vegas back in June and something I've been rocking a ton on the weekends to run errands and shop (can't beat that comfort).

Hope you're having a great week!
