Friday night date: Indian food.
The man snapped this shot of me on Saturday morning in my new car, from his car, while we were stopped at a traffic light. Good thing for sunglasses as I had zero make-up on!
Saturday morning simple breakfast: easy omelet wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla & a tea (I didn't win. Again).
On Saturday afternoon, I spent the day sewing and filming (with an assistant!) and working on my next two PDO vlogs. It was a lot of work, and many, many hours but the outcome is awesome and I'm so excited to share with you soon!
A sneak peak at what I'll be showing you in the video.
Ripped denim for Saturday night (last seen HERE).
Saturday night take-out: Chicken ceasar salad from St. Hubert.
On Saturday night, I went bowing with the man, my bff and her hubby. The girls won, but mainly because my bestie is a closet pro-bowler! (Who knew?!)
Sunday morning breakfast (haha, there it is. Again).
Sunday's outfit.
Outfit deets: Zara sweater, F21 tee, Sirens leather-look leggings, Ardène pashmina & (faux) Bekket wedge sneakers.
Sunday afternoon was spent filming, filming, filming.
Taking a break from filming, I worked on a personal project for someone special with the most beautiful ombré fabric I found.
I basically spent Sunday evening and night at my dining room table editing four videos and sewing in between while waiting for footage to be imported. I finally hit the hay just after 1am and while I was exhausted, I seriously can't wait to share these next few videos with you all!
I'm back with my ninth video as the Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger and am so excited to share some Spring fashion with you guys! I'm so tired of winter and just dying to slip my feet into some sandals and leave the house without a jacket, what about you?
In this video, I'm sharing some of my awesome finds this month and some hot trends for Spring. My favourites are definitely neons and floral prints (but there's more, so watch the video; ha!) and summer cannot come soon enough!
Stay tuned for more videos (specifically on the Place d'Orleans FB page).

Just popping in to share my newest creation: a chiffon printed top with serged-ish edges; so don't go thinking I'm all fancy or anything. I didn't use a pattern, I just used my head.
I made this for a friend who lent me her vehicle for a week while I was in transition between selling my car and buying a new one while she was in Mexico, to say thank you.
This top was mimicked off this mint top I made in the summer (also seen on the mannequin via Instagram HERE).
Outfit deets:
* Alfred Sung top (from Zellers). I wore this outfit for the Superbowl party I went to where everyone was rooting for the SF 49'ers (I couldn't care less, actually). Sadly, even my outfit couldn't help them win.
* Joe Fresh pants which I purchased almost a year ago and am wearing them for the first time ever (and can I just say I will never wear these pants again! They are so freakin' tight I can't even get the button done up and they have zero stretch. Wah wah).
* Ardène flats (which I DIY'ed a cap-top using THIS method) that you saw in my Wardrobe Classics vlog.
* Accessories: Expressions necklace.
I started writing this post two years ago, but didn't get very far. Something triggered my memory and I went to search for that draft post and it was dated February 14, 2011 (almost two years to the day!) and thought it would be interesting to Define Myself.
So let's get a little superficial; I mean, what life doesn't involve those sorts of things to a certain extent? I'm not talking the deep stuff that matters, I'm talking the silly, little, small things that make us who we are (just put aside the deep stuff for a minute, kay?). As I think back over the years, things have definitely changed but some things remain the same. Here's what defines me today:
Shoes (lots of 'em); usually heels.
A two-door car (with a manual transmission).
Shopping.
Blogging.
Travelling (more than ever).
Home-made lunches.
Skinny pants.
Doing things on my own (like buying a condo, paying bills and being independent for kind of the first time ever).
Sleeping in on weekends.
Flowy tops.
Workin' 9 - 5 (ish).
Birth control.
Bangles & big necklaces.
Milk.
