Saturday night my girlfriends and I headed to a club where they were having, 'Grind', a once monthly party featuring hip-hop and reggaeton. They had four DJ's mixing and my goal was to dance... so I wore my skate shoes... (ha!)... and dance we did!

There are two days in every week about which we
should not worry.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes
and cares,
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.

We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
The other day we should not worry about is
tomorrow.
With its possible adversities, Its burdens,
Its large promise and poor performance.
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow’s Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds,
but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This just leaves only one day . . . Today.
Any person
can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity’s -
yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad.
It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday
and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore live but one day at a time.

Outfit deets:
* Urban Og dress (old) and seen with nude wedges and turquoise earrings (I sense a sub-concious theme here).
* BCBG heels that have been worn with white skinnies, a pretty turquoise strapless dress and white blazer, outdoors with a red pencil skirt, grey denim & with one of my favourite (and girliest) grey tiered skirt.
* Accessories: J.Crew bubble necklace, Swarovski bangle and vintage (thrifted) clutch.
I wore this to a baby shower last weekend and it felt so pretty. I purchased this dress over a year ago, wore it once (on Canada Day, last year, with red flats) and washed it. The netting part at the top got kind of ruined in the wash and I threw this dress in the, 'To be altered (or fixed)-pile'. Well, I finally stitched all the loops back together that had come undone with my sewing machine when I was making a top for myself and can now wear this (and always use a lingerie bag to wash it now).
Thankfully when I was getting dressed (in a rush), the sun was beaming into my room and I noticed that the dress is completely see-through! OMG. I quickly pulled out a long tank and bandeau top and made a make-shift tube dress to rock underneath to ensure full coverage. Imagine showing up at a baby shower, not realizing you're pretty much flashing everyone and having nothing to rectify the problem with? Eep!
Happy weekend!
Nail Polish Canada sent me a Konad Nail Stamping kit to try out. I love trying new things but wasn't sure how I'd feel
about this as I'm not big into designs on my nails (unless it's like an angled neon french mani
There are seven designs to choose from on the disc that are each super intricate. The process is pretty simple:
1. Paint your nails, let them dry.
2. Paint the disc/design with the polish that comes in the kit.
3. Scrape it off with the provided blade.
4. Pick up the design with the rubber stamp.
5. Transfer it to your nail by simply rolling the stamp across your nail.
Voila!

Simple and looks so great. I don't like the idea of stamping each
finger, so I just stamped one on each hand. This would look great on
toes too.
So yesterday my BFF won an all-expense paid trip to Vegas for four days and to see the iHeartRadio music festival. How cool is that?! They called her on live radio and told her she won at 8am yesterday morning. They woke her up. What a way to be woken up!
Naturally she was taking her husband with her...until he realized the dates conflict with something work-wise and he can no longer attend.
So she picked me to go with her instead.
WHAT!?
We are going to Vegas in a month!
I. Am. Stoked (and grateful!). Can't wait! I've never been to Vegas and this cannot come quick enough. How crazy is this? We are officially on a shopping ban until then. Wish us luck.
Vegassssss.
My weekend began Thursday night (I took Friday off) with Fish 'n Chips, beer & a girl friend.
...but not prior to doing a little damage at the mall with my other girl friend.
On Friday, I slept in, blogged and ate breakfast. Then I cleaned my apartment like crazy.
Later that afternoon I ran some errands in my chevron-printed maxi.
Friday night date.
Outfit deets: Walmart top, Dynamite shorts, Kelsi Dagger wedges, Auslini bangle, A.Co Designs bracelet & Dollarama hoop earrings.
One of the best burgers (and sweet potato fries) ever on Friday night.
Home-made pickled beets!
On Saturday morning, I brought my girl friend breakfast because...
...she lent me her Lincoln MKX for my sister's bachelorette party (ridin' in style!).
Pole dancing for the bachelorette (yes, those are feathered devil horns).
Getting the party started.
The bride and me.
Outfit deets: Dynamite blazer, Louben skirt (thrifted) worn as a dress & Costa Blanca belt.
Bachelorette dinner out.
On Sunday I ran some errands in the morning.
Outfit deets: Joe Fresh top, Material Girl skirt & Promise sandals.
I attended a Baby Shower for a good friend in the afternoon and the decor was killer.
I brought cucumber/cream cheese roll-ups...
...and wore an Urban Original dress (outfit post coming).
Sunday evening view from my apartment.
Sunday dinner for one.
This summer, for the first time in my life, I have gone out almost every weekend, spent countless hours with my girlfriends, and experienced heart ache as well (it's not all roses, that's for sure).
I never really went out a lot when I was younger; I was in a serious relationship, and happy (with no regrets), but as that has changed, and I'm single, it's like I'm making up for lost time. It's nice to get dressed up and hit the town with my girl friends. Dance. Laugh. Have some drinks. (Make videos). Enjoy the summer nights.
As I will be going out tonight, I compiled a post of most of the summer night outfits I've taken out on the town (which I typically post on Instagram and sometimes you see in my Weekend Recaps). Some were for going out dancing, some were for simple girls dinners, nights in or dates. Cheers!
Outfit deets:
* H&M top.
* Wet Seat crochet shorts which I've posted on Instagram for a night out outfit.
* Vince Camuto 'Kastern' sandals (new-ish!) that I've worn with a peach tiered skirt.
* Accessories: MK watch, F21 wrap bracelet & Gucci sunnies (looking at these pictures I'm thinking, 'Where is my necklace?!').
Happy Friday! So glad the weekend is here. I have a super busy weekend lined up and I am actually off work today (hoorah!). Initially we were going to Mt. Tremblant for my sister's bachelorette this weekend, hence why I took today off, but the plan has changed and we are staying local (but it's going to be a wicked time).
Today I have a bunch of boring stuff to do, errands, cleaning and running around, but tonight that all changes which I'm excited for. Tomorrow is the bachelorette and Sunday is a Baby Shower for one of my closest friends. Busy right? Thank goodness for day's like today to get it all organized.
Have a great weekend!
