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!
When Me Undies contacted me about their underwear I immediately got excited to try a pair out (they got a great review in Cosmo).
There are three options: thong, boyshort or brief (and men's options too).
I ordered the thong in coral (there are plenty of colours to choose from). Upon their arrival I'm immediately smitten; they fit seamlessly smooth under snug dresses and tight pencil skirts, and if they peek out of the top of your jeans, they look sweet.
On a personal note, I would definitely size up in these as they are a little tiny. For reference, I wear a size 31 in pants/denim, and ordered a large (which was still a little teeny but wearable).

The winners are SpiffyKerms & Sarah!! Congratulations & thanks to all for playing. xo
Outfit deets:
* Costa Blanca top (thrifted) and last seen with black on black.
* F21 skirt (old) which you have seen in the winter with nude fishnets & another black top, also in the rain with opaque tights and a top I made. And for fun, here are some other times I've worn leopard.
* Anne Michelle spiked heels (new!) which are so comfy. They have like, little pillows inside them, they stay put when I walk and everyone and anyone has this inkling urge to tell me that I shouldn't, 'kick anyone' with these shoes on. Similar in black.
* Accessories: F21 square bangle, Emily Elizabeth 'Love' necklace (which I won) & Gucci shades.
How often do you entertain? Before I moved (into my tiny apartment), I loved to have people over and host get-togethers. Now don't get me wrong, cooking for many people stresses the crap out of me, but ultimately I enjoy playing host.
I've compiled a short list of easy things to keep in mind when entertaining to help relieve some of the jitters before the guests arrive:
1. Set the mood with music before the first guests arrive.
Araabmuzik has some great tracks for dinner or simply mingling. I also really like the Buddah Cafe CD or just tune your flat screen to The Chill Lounge, if you have it.
2. Stock the ice bucket; buy it if you didn't make it.
3. Distribute food around the room to keep your guests mingling.
4. Greet each guest yourself with enthusiasm / insist on getting the door (it will make them feel special and important).
5. Mingle, don't stay in one group too long. It is completely acceptable to politely excuse yourself.
6. Do your cleaning prep-work in advance. The bathroom is the one room the guests will spend the most alone time, make it a priority to have it sparkling. Fresh towels are a must.
7. Light some candles to set the ambiance and to have your place smelling sweet.
8. Dim the lights, make it feel swanky and warm.
