I whipped up some Chicken Parmigiana tonight on a whim... 

I've never made the real deal before.  

And by real deal, I mean coating it in an egg & bread crumb mixture, frying it in oil, and then baking it to perfection.  

I always take the half-assed route: put chicken in baking dish, pour tomato sauce over, sprinkle grated cheese & bake.

BOR-ing.

This time was gourmet though.

I coated and fried that chicken up 'till it was nice and golden and fatty, and then I baked.  Big hit.  Biiig hit.




And of course to keep things healthy, I threw in some broccoli on the side (and whole wheat pasta).

1.  Tune & a make-shift lunch on Friday at work (tuna, arugula, hummus & feta wrapped up).
2.  Coy fish pond.
3.  Pretty, frozen trees.
4.  Home made beef nachos for Friday night dinner.
5.  Shawarma plate dinner after purchasing a used armoir and bringing it home (phew!).
6.  Saturday morning blueberry pancakes.
7.  Milk-bag utility bag made by seniors at my grandparent's residence (it takes 500 milk bags and approximately 198 hours to make one!).
8.  The mess after one of my shoe racks fell apart while trying to move it.
9.  A new maxi dress from Urban Planet ($20) that is actually long enough for me.
10.  My newest upgrade: 4S (so pumped!).


You don't mind if I just... put my feet up today?
Joe Fresh dress, Qupid boots, American Eagle belt, uknonwn tights, Auslini bangle & Suzy necklace

So I finally put together an outfit so I can wear my new boots and what happens?  Fire alarm at work.  Ya.  I didn't even get to strap these puppies on since I wear a commute boot into work and change shoes when I get there (Canadian winters are harsh on shoes).  I got to work, fire alarm in full effect, so we are moved to another building... where we wait... for over an hour... to finally be told we can go home for the day.  Woohoo!! A real 'snow day' (it was snowing like crazy) which never happens but bummer because these shoes never saw the light of day.  Oh well, next time.

What are your plans for the weekend?  I plan to relax tonight, catch a movie tomorrow night and spend a whole lot of time relaxing.  Oh, and pancakes are on the menu for a Saturday morning breakfast (mmm, it's been a while).

Here are some fun links from around the web:


These closets are nuts.

I would love a pair of these flats in yellow.

Some great relationship tips anyone and everyone can apply.

People.  In love.

I know the holidays are over, but this ornament chandelier is simply awesome.


Have a great weekend! xo


You know when you're out and about or especially going on a trip and you wish you had your perfume with you (but didn't want to lug the big bottle along for the trip)?  Well now you can!  

This little tool (called the Travelo) is around $12 bucks and gives you 65 sprays of your favourite perfume, and it's tiny.  You just take the cap off your perfume, attach the Travalo and pump until it fills.

The best part?  It's the size of a lip gloss and your big bottle of perfume remains safe (at home).  What a great idea!



* I am in no way affiliated with Travalo, just thought this was a great idea and wanted to share.
