THINK PINK: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and when I logged into ShopStyle the other day they had a feature page with tons of pink items which in turn sparked my idea to create a set of pink items I'm currently coveting.

* Chloe Paraty Salmon Python purse (dream bag alert!).
 


I'm over at in the fashion lane today and talking about being single, living life and all the positives that can come along with it (should you choose).

Come on over and get in on the discussion!

Outfit deets:
* Zara sweater (with La Senza bandeau underneath) which you've seen in a cream colour with a black skirt and also with my chartreuse lace ruffle shorts.
* H&M pants, worn in the same spot two years ago with white and wedges again (and one of my favourite outfit posts).
* Aldo wedges (love these) which you've seen with a hunter green chiffon top & skirt recently and with denim and an unbuttoned button-down.
* Accessories:  H&M belt, MK watch, A.Co Designs bracelet, Suzy necklace, Gucci shades & random bangle.

Do you ever feel like you're running on half a tank?  That's pretty much how I've been feeling for the last three weeks or so.  It's been busy, to say the least with my trip to Vegas and then my sister's wedding.  Additionally work has been crazy and I stayed two hours late Monday through Wednesday last week.  Throw a personal life into the mix and half a tank feels more like a quarter tank.

Tonight is exciting though; I'm heading to the mall where I am the new Fashion Vlogger and we are going to be filming a b-roll for my upcoming videos.  This will be the little 'intro' that goes at the beginning of each haul video I produce, which is pretty cool.  My first haul video will be up soon and it will include all the items I purchased during the shop-off challenge that I competed in and that ultimately won me the contest!  I can't wait to share with you all.

In other news, I've joined a volleyball league with some friends that plays on Thursdays and I'll be starting tomorrow.  I'm kind of nervous.  It's been three years since I played organized volleyball so not sure how my skills are going to hold up!

Hope you're all having a great week!





Swoon.


Swoon.  Swoon.  Swoon!


My sister got married on Saturday and it was such a crazy, busy but extremely fun weekend.  This post is wedding heavy but there is just too much to not share.  You can find more photos on my Instagram.  

Cheers!
  
The bridesmaids, my mom and I, spent Friday morning preparing these 
tasty red velvet cupcakes-in-a-jar favours for the wedding.  
We ran out of cupcakes so my sister was baking more that morning!


Sweet champagne flutes the bride designed for her bridesmaids.  
We took these to our hair appointment the morning of the wedding to have mimosas.


Caroline, at Noir Salon, did my hair and killed it.  
I was so pleased with how it turned out, even better than my inspiration photo!


 The finished product.  Ah-mazing (I even slept on it and wore it to brunch the next day).


From the salon, we went back to my sister's place to get dressed.  
I did my own make up (the bride requested a smokey purple eye), 
the bride got dressed and we headed to the ceremony.
Outfit deets:  Alfred Sung dress, Paris Hilton heels (similar), Silk flower bouquets from Morgann Hill Designs.


 Married!


During photos, the Best Man and I came up with a plan to switch shoes to enter the reception.  
The photographer caught the moment (haha!).


We hit up a skate park after the formal photos and the newlyweds 
switched their shoes for some more fun shots.


We rode around in style, thanks to the bride & groom's excellent taste (and budget!).


 In the limo celebrating with champagne.


 First dance.


 The favours turned out so well (missing: the thin black ribbon & black spoon tied to the jar) and were a huge hit.


 Bride & Maid of Honour


 Having fun in the photobooth.


 Three words:  midnight. poutine. buffet.


Stealing a moment during the busy reception...


Congratulations Lisa & Adam!
