These are a little late, as they are from the September 14 - 16 weekend, but it was such a great one I couldn't not share these pics...
We had a bake sale for charity at work; I made Peanut Butter Cookies and won third place!
Friday night comedy club & drinks outfit.
Outfit deets: Winners top, Sirens leggings & Bumper booties.

Getting my hair coloured on Saturday morning...
...the aftermath.
Saturday I worked a modelling gig for Renée Levesque boutique (like I did back in May).
I took home that top on the far right and am in love.
Stuffed chicken with a pesto reduction and toasted pine nuts, garlic roasted mini potatoes,
asparagus and a caprese salad. Go me!
Sunday was the big Vlogger finals/shop-off (here I am as they announced I was the winner!).
Celebratory drinks afterwards.
Ah-mazing penne alfredo with fresh scallops, roasted red pepper and mushrooms for Sunday night dinner.

It was a whirlwind of four days in Las Vegas with my bestie. We did a lot of shopping, walking and eating. The I Heart Radio concert was amazing and I'll have a full recap for you all coming soon. Till then, here are some pictures I took from the plane.
Waiting at the airport at 4am and very excited.
Hello from Vegas!! We arrived yesterday afternoon after a long 12-hour day of traveling, but we are so happy to be here. We are up early to head out for breakfast and then shopping. Tonight is the I Heart Radio concert, which we are really looking forward to.
Just wanted to share a few photos with you to keep you in the loop and wish you a very happy weekend! Full Vegas recap next week. xo

Woke up (at 5am) before sunrise this morning and snapped a couple shots from our hotel room as the sun rose.
Tan tattoo & milk on the plane (my fave!).
Upon arrival and sitting pool-side.
Outfit deets:
* Urban Planet top (new & purchased during the shop off for the Vlogger contest).
* Smart set cami.
* Dynamite ruched tube top worn as a skirt.
* Aldo wedges (last year but still available!) which you have seen with denim skinnies.
* Accessories: Aldo rose gold leaf necklace, Gucci shades & MK Watch.
Life is cray cray (crazy) right now & I feel like I'm going a mile a minute!
Sorry for the lack in blog posts this week thus far, I haven't even done my Weekend Recap yet despite having an amazing and busy weekend because I wanted to post about winning the Vlogging Contest first and farmost and I seriously am running from one thing to the next!
Work has been nuts, my personal life has been hectic and I still haven't packed my bags for Sin City yet (and um, we fly out at 6am tomorrow... less than 24 hours!).
I will be bringing my laptop with me to Vegas in hopes to stay in touch and promise to have some fun stuff lined up for next week (and my sister is getting married next weekend too! Eep!).
I'm cutting right to the chase: I won the Vlogger Search contest yesterday!
In an exhilarating, competitive and super fun day, I came out on top for the Fashion Vlogger search that was happening at my local mall. I couldn't be more excited!
So after all of you amazing people voted for me on Facebook, and placing first (thank you!), I was called back yesterday to compete in the finals against nine other Fashion Vloggers. Upon arriving at the mall, we collected our name badges and signed in.
We were called to the stage at 11am and took turns introducing ourselves in front of the judges and audience (I was totally nervous). From there we were given our challenge:
They gave us $200 gift cards to shop and find the following fall fashion trends:
* Shape
* Texture
* Colour
* Pattern
Then we were off. We had an hour and a half to complete our shop-off before returning to the stage.
My strategy was simple: find an item for each category, and then go back and 'beef up' my haul with additional pieces and remaining money.
I picked up key pieces: peplum & envelope (shape), waxed jeans (texture), polka dots & leopard print (pattern) and hunter green, rose gold & burgundy pieces (colour).
Once we all returned, we took the stage to take turns pitching our findings to the judges and growing audience. The order of presenters was randomly draw and guess who was picked to go first? Me. Cue the butterflies!
We had five minutes to talk about what we purchased, as if filming a vlog, with a microphone and a small chair to put our items on (should we choose). I gave it my best and although I forgot to say many things (like how I only had 33 cents remaining on my gift card; talk about stretching your money!), I must have done okay as I was chosen to be the next Fashion Vlogger for the mall. So exciting!
So here's the deal: for the next six months I will be given $300 per month to shop and vlog twice per month. These vlogs will be posted on the Place d'Orleans Facebook Page and I'm hoping I can post them here for you all as well (if not, I will certainly link up).
Thank you again to all of you who voted, sent kind messages, congratulated me and more! You're awesome & I couldn't have done it without you!
Now, onto some photos!
The judges deliberated and then each spoke about the winner, without revealing her (me!)...
...and then they announced that I was the winner!
I will admit I did the 'dance of joy' as per my Grammy, on stage:
Outfit deets: Fun & Flirt top, Sirens jeans, Sam Edelman wedges, Charles Jourdan bag, Joe Fresh belt & F21 necklace.
Here is a list of the girls who participated that have blogs:
(And a few more fun photos on Instagram, if you'd like).
