We grabbed some Booster Juice on the weekend, which was the perfect cure for the super hot weather. We strolled around an outdoor mall until we couldn't handle the heat and headed back to the sanction of central air!
I bought this dress on Wednesday evening after work, and was so pumped to find it. I got it from the thrift store for $8 bucks, but it's originally from GAP. I remember seeing this dress two summers ago, but passed it by - I sure am glad I did since I found this gem at a deeply discounted price. I washed it immediately so I could rock it right away. Score.

While perusing the Martha Stewart wedding site, I came across these lovely tissue paper pom-poms. Not only are they easy, but they make a statement, especially when you hang several, like in the picture above. Below, I've outlined how I did my own.
What you'll need: tissue paper, florist wire, scissors...
...8 sheets to be exact
Fold the sheets accordian style on the longest side...
Once you're done folding...
...Round the edges...
...Voila
Snip a bit of wire...
...Wrap it around the centre of the folded tissue
Pull apart each layer...
...Until you have a 'bouquet'... then pull apart the other end/side and...
Voila!
String with fishing line or more wire, pin into ceiling and you're done.
A baby version of the one above, in a darker purple.

For Canada day our friends had an awesome party at their condo in a happening part of town. They have the most amazing roof-top patio terrace which served perfectly for the warm day. There were tons of people, great food and a great time in general. HAPPY CANADA DAY!

While the temperature in these pictures might look nice, it was quite the opposite. I froze when I took my jacket off and for this time of the year, that's very surprising... and not enjoyed! C'mon summer. We only get what, three months of you to begin with, get this cool weather outta here!
On a side note, these are my favourite flats ever. I've had them for a couple years and cannot give 'em up. I've tried to purchase other black flats, basically to enable a switch up and prolong the life of these ones, but always go back. They are my tried and true. Comfy, stylish... comfy. But then again, why would you wear flats if they weren't comfy?
