Friday lunch out with my best friend and her MIL (mother-in-law).
On Friday night I had two parties to attend: a surprise 40th birthday party and a wine mixer. I wore this for the restaurant birthday, part one of the evening.
Outfit deets: La Class Couture jacket, Dynamite top (new!), H&M jeans & Rampage boots.
Friday night dinner: French onion soup + Fish tacos.
The Catalina Wine Mixer started out like this...
...and soon got down to business.
Dancing followed soon thereafter.
Saturday was calm: slept in, did some shopping at Walmart and a late night Pho dinner.
On Sunday I took a good 15 minutes to relax with my tea before getting down to business...
I spent seven hours reorganizing my apartment, cleaning and putting stuff away. I live in a small space and it's hard to maneuver around and switch things up, but I did it (including reorganizing my shoes!).
Sunday night dinner: grilled chicken salad with beats, avocado, cucumber, feta & walnuts.
Sunday nights have officially become Dexter nights and I indulged with some Ginger Snaps.
Hanging out with my favourite kitty in my new hat.
Outfit deets: Joshua Perets hoodie, tank, pants & Walmart hat.

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)
