For my second video as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger, I pull together some wardrobe classics, or things that you can look for while out shopping that can easily mix and match with things you likely already own.  

Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans FB page), the next one will be out mid-November!

So exciting: I'm currently en route to Montreal to see The Weeknd in concert tonight! I cannot wait.  I have been a big fan for a few years now and unfortunately missed the chance to see him in my hometown when he was here in the summer, so this is a dream.  

I'm going with someone who is pretty awesome too, and a big fan, plus we're staying over night and going to go shopping tomorrow!  Eep!  So fun to get away for a night and just be care free.

If you don't know who The Weeknd is, he's a 22-year old (so young!) R&B singer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada who has been on a scene for a few years but is just starting to blow up (and if you're a Drake fan, guaranteed you'll like this one).  I could go on and describe his smooth voice or pensive vocals but instead I leave you with a few favourite tracks:

For Halloween this year I went as Baroness from G.I. Joe, The Rise of the Cobra.  Although I've never seen the movie (ha!) I think our costumes came out pretty well (and let's be honest, I'll take any chance I can to wear my brunette wig).  

I went to a charity Halloween Party on Saturday and it was a blast.  It's been many years since I've got out for Halloween, despite wanting to for the last few years (but not being able to).  I think it's safe to say I made up for lost time while supporting a great cause.  

Happy Halloween!


* Previous Halloween costumes (including a Sailor, Leopard & more).

Outfit deets:
* Thrifted denim jacket (old) that you've seen with cropped light denim (wow that's an old outfit post!).
* Part Two top (c/o Renee Levesque) that I picked up during my 'modelling' gig almost two months ago (I was eyeballing it the entire time I was there working).
* Garage tank underneath.
* Sirens leggings.
* Aldo wedge (canvas) hidden wedge boots that you've seen with red pants & with a LBD and moto-style jacket.
* H&M zipper snood that I picked up during my trip to MTL this time last year, which you've seen with skinny pants (a favourite outfit post, actually).
* Accessories:  MK watch & Aldo bangles.

What's up friends!?

I took last night to really focus on me and kick it solo.  Things have been busy lately (as I've mentioned) and while I love it, sometimes you need to get shiz done, or simply do things you've put on the back-burner or things no one else has interest in (ha).  

I went to the gym, put in a good run on the treadmill and then made my way home after picking up a baby shower gift.  I made myself a salad, worked on my blog, and just did me.  

This week is going to be nutty busy so I think taking a night to re-group and re-energize will only put me in a better place to fully absorb and take on the week (which I'm very much looking forward to). Happy Tuesday!
