I took a trip this past weekend to Toronto to visit my very best friend. She moved there just over two months ago, and while it's for a great reason, it sucks being apart. This is my first time visiting her, and she has been back home three times (but I only saw her one of those times) since her move. I left on Thursday (Remembrance Day) and took the train. It was so fantastic having an extra long weekend and spending it with her. Her place is awesome and located in a great hub within walking distance to great shops, restaurants, etc. We ate out every night, did a ton of shopping, went dancing Friday and Saturday and had an amazing time together. It's nice to be home, but I miss her already, and am counting down the days till Christmas holidays when she's back here.

My most recent pair of kicks. Picked these up in Toronto on the weekend while visiting the BFF. We went to the Aldo Outlet on Bloor Street, and what an amazing store. They have so much selection, and the best part: a huge clearance area. I saw shoes from years ago. Wild. I was so pumped when they actually had my size in these (it's so hard to get my size, often, as they don't make many 10's and 11's). I wore these out the same night I bought them and was pleasantly surprised that not only could I dance all night long, but they stayed put, without the ankle strap (unlike these which are beautiful but suck to walk more than three feet in, sadly).
These new wedges might give my favourite wedges a run for their money!
Speaking of, did you see my faves are super on sale now?
When you look at these Steve Madden pumps, they are sparkly, but to me, so-so. However, when I saw them on Sharon's feet, eep! Totally died. They look so good!
And a peep-toe version...

On Wednesday I had a jewellery show. As some of you know, I have a side business, A.Co Designs, in which I design and sell jewellery. I mainly sell online, in person and at home-parties. This was the first time selling in a business / public setting. Unfortunately, it wasn't as successful as I expected, but still worth it. I gave out a ton of business cards and sold a several pieces. I even got special visits from my Poppa, Dad and sister. Aww.
The jewellery below is all hand-made by me, I'll include prices underneath and if you are interested, you can email me. I also accept custom orders if you have something specific in mind.
Bangles with charms or special stones, $8

Long pendant necklaces, $18
Feather headbands, $5 / Feather hair-clips, $3
Earrings, $5

I have these pants for maybe a year. They are yoga-style pants, but super long (and for me, that's uber rare), so long that I can't really wear them for the gym because I'd be tripping over them. So, I mainly wear them around the house while lounging etc. However, I thought it would be cool if I could style them up and see if I could make that work. I loved being comfortable in these 'snack pants' (as my Dad calls 'em) yet looking pulled together in the heels and leather jacket. It also worked out well as I was able to run errands get a spray tan afterwards. I always hate putting on tight clothing after that (and it's not really recommended, either) so this fit the bill.
