On Friday night I went to a little get-together with some of my man's friends.  It was somewhat of a potluck with the most delicious food in the most beautiful house.  Since we got a crazy snowstorm that day, and my favourite boots had been soaked from all the puddles, I opted for my rubber boots over my skinny jeans.  I rarely wear these but boy was it nice to have dry feet!

Here's a little known fact: I am not great at picking out wine.  While I love it, I don't always choose the best ones.  This wine, picked by yours truly, ended up being amazing so I took a pic so I'd remember to purchase it again.

Afterwards, I decided to do some shopping on my own, but not before grabbing a Booster Juice and putting my feet up for a rest (I love the Funky Monkey smoothie).

I'm still covetting the black Nixon The Time Teller and but The Camden, above in black,caught my eye on the weekend.

A successful day of shopping!  I picked up a white tee, a beach hat (seen here at the photoshoot), a floral printy floaty top, a gauzy mint sweaty and a few other things.

 That night was thai with my boy.

 My parents made spaghetti, ceasar salad and garlic bread for lunch...

 ...and an angel food cake with lemon icing (a family favourite).

We decided to go out for a late Sunday night dinner date, and afterwards did groceries.  #keepinitreal

Outfit deets:  Old Navy jacket (old), Ardène pashmina, Almost Famous denim (old) & Deux Lux bag.

Come back later for a recap of the photoshoot from the weekend!

Have you guys heard of FIG Clothing?  I hadn't either until a coworker friend told me about the Canadian company based out of Montreal.  Fast forward a few emails later and we were exploring the possibility of working together.

FIG Clothing is a line of clothes for women on the go.  Their pieces are meant to take you from airplane to  business meeting and everything in between--I wore mine out to dinner in Mexico, but could totally see myself wearing my Nev dress with a denim jacket and sandals for brunch or even over a bikini as it's a quick drying fabric. 

Their clothes are meant to flatter and celebrate the feminine body and believe me when I say I felt feminine and confident in this dress (that added ruching in the tummy area is so flattering and forgiving; trust me, I ate a ton that night and while on vacation in general).

Everything is made in Canada and (best part!) they offer free shipping or you can check out the various stores they sell at in Canada and the USA.

What does one wear to Fashion Week?  I didn't know, and to only go for two days, not know what your itinerary is, nor what shows you're seeing, I am please with how well I packed--in a small rolly suitcase, might I add!

For my twelth video as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger, I'm sharing some great Spring Trends and finds that I picked up while shopping.

I'm loving neon again for this summer and definitely scored some great hi-lighter hued items, but for the rest, you'll have to watch!

Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans FB page).

I had never thought of this before until someone mentioned it, but, does it bother you when people use a 'couple photo' as their profile picture?  For instance, a boyfriend/girlfriend duo that posts a picture of the two of them for the photo?

The argument I heard was that everyone has their own, for example, Facebook account, so why would you use a picture of two people when it's your own profile.  Similar to your driver's license, it's a picture of just you, not you and your husband, etc.

Personally, this does not bother me, I think it's sweet and the person is who owns the profile is still in the picture and you can clearly distinguish who is who.  On the other hand, I do find it kind of strange when someone uses their baby or child's photo as their PP; that clearly isn't you and you likely have an entire album, or six, dedicated to your child (I know I would, who's with me!?) so why not use your own face for the main picture?

This is a weird topic but how do you feel about it?

Hello!  I'm back from a beautiful, sunny week in the Mayan Riviera, and what an amazing trip it was.  We filmed while we were there, so I'll let you know when I finish editing and uploading that.

We did so much while on vacation from climbing the Coba ruins, playing tennis, enjoying the beach, eating a ton and much, much more.  I would love to share some pictures with you, but it's pretty photo heavy, so click the jump if you're game...

Hey everyone! Sorry for the radio silence but the past couple days have been a whirlwind and I don't have wifi where I am (currently writing this post from my iPhone!).

In short, my bestie won a trip for us to World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto via Maybelline! They flew us here Wednesday night, put us up on a swanky hotel (The Thomspon) and sent us backstage at Fashion Week and to two shows. On top of that, gave her a cheque for $1000 to spend freely (we've had some great meals and done a bit of H&M shopping).

Yesterday, we got to the tents around 4:30 and were taken backstage. We had professional Redken hair stylists do our hair and Maybelline make-up artists for our faces. Backstage was craziness and so hectic. Models and people everywhere rushing around between shows! Once we were all ready, we were taken to the VIP lounge for a drink and professional photos then onto the shows! We saw the Soia&Kyo show and then the Rudsak show. Both amazing with beautiful outerwear. Tons of leather and fabrics mixed, fur lined hoods, vests and chunky boots. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to fall or at least incorporating some of this into my wardrobe now (via shopping my closet, mainly) before Spring hits (it's still snowing here).

Today we are going back to Fashion Week but don't know which shows we are seeing. We fly home tonight so are hoping to get some shopping in during the day today.

I'm Instagraming as I go and live-tweeting too so keep up with me there. Will have a full recap soon and we are vlogging this trip so ill have a video for you once I'm back from Mexico!

Have a great weekend!
