Here is my first vlog as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger and I couldn't be more excited. We filmed a b-roll (the little introduction part) a few weeks ago and the marketing company did a great job putting it together.
I will be filming two videos per month and will be sure to post them here once they go live.
For this video, I focused on four categories for fall trends:
* Pattern (polka dots, leopard)
* Shape (peplum, envelope)
* Colour (hunter green, burgundy, rose gold)
* Texture (waxed, lace)
Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans FB page), the next one will be out at the end of the month!

Last night I got together with two girlfriends and there was wine, cheese, and quiche. And lots of chatter. And laughs. And good times.
While sitting around, I noticed a neat little box of notecards on Rachella's table and she said they were conversation cards. So we played. The questions were things like, 'If you could spend one year somewhere, which country would you choose?' (Brazil for me), and, 'What would you like to receive as a birthday gift?' (designer shoes), and, 'If you could do one indulgent thing without suffering the consequences, what would it be?' (tanning; haha), and more. We took turns reading cards and answering each one. So simple and yet so fun and entertaining!
Fall is officially here, enjoy it while it lasts (preferably with wine and cheese)!

My family and friends know that my thing is shoes.
I. Love. Shoes.
It's pretty obvious.
I'm not sure where it came from, or how I grew to love them so much (why not bags? Or designer denim? Or something cheaper, like... nail polish?), but I do. People are often surprised by my shoe collection, but I have a small secret: I don't pay a ton for my shoes.
Yes, sometimes I spend more on various pairs and I have picked up a designer pair along the way. That said, for the most part, my shoes are inexpensive. I prefer to have more of a variety and when it comes down to it, and I never 'wear out' my shoes. Additionally, Canadian winters can be harsh on boots so it's almost ridiculous to invest a chunk of change in those when you know come Spring they will be toast.
I mainly shop for shoes online, or at least have in the past, and love the great savings you can find (and I'm in Canada, imagine how much better it is for you US readers). It's always exciting when the mailman comes with a box!
I wanted to share a few of my favourite online stores to purchase shoes from:
* AMI Clubwear (use Ebates and get 5% cashback)
* Go Jane
* Alloy (2.5% cashback)
And a few 'pricier' (but still kind of budget friendly) places I love:
* Victoria's Secret (2.5% cashback & the Uggs are priced really well, if you like that sort of thing)
Friday night home-cooked meal: Potato chicken curry.
My Friday night contribution: Apple crisp!
Best Friday night surprise: new Dr. Dre Beats headphones!
(Have you tried these? They are the best in the game. Love love love.)
Saturday morning breakfast at Broadways.
I test drove the new Scion fr-s but ultimately did not like it (sure is pretty to look at though). Still looking.
Later on, I did some shopping and picked up these two real-stone rings from Dollarama.
Burgers & fries at Five Guys to finish off a great Saturday.
On Sunday I made breakfast and it looked like this.
Testing out my new Solo's...
...and on Sunday evening I actually went to the gym
(I blame the new headphones, I really wanted to use 'em).
Sunday night was Dexter and finished off with a pizza craving that was met at midnight.
(Look at all that delicious food. Sheesh! Talk about an indulgent weekend.)
What are you up to this weekend?
Tonight is a home-cooked meal and some QT time on the couch (I'm making a fall dessert that I will share next week). Maybe some car shopping tomorrow, and spending time with some of my favourite people.
Needless to say it's going to be great, relaxing and just what I need after this crazy and intense week at work. Happy weekend!
