This is a long one, but I filmed over the course of a week. In this vlog, I do some shopping, include my bff, share some outfits, show you how to prepare corn on the cob for the BBQ and a late night snack run with my boyfriend.

My casual Friday work outfit; I liked it more and more as the day went on--does that ever happen to you?--so thought I'd share. I typically post my daily looks on Instagram under the hashtag #acolookdowns.
Outfit deets: American Eagle top, H&M denim skinnies & Diva Lounge wedges.
Friday night date night at Miko Sushi; if you're looking for good sushi, please don't go there. If you're a bit of a sushi snob, like us, you won't like it. The fish was not terribly fresh, portions were small and there was nothing special about it. To top it off, the service was terrible. Needless to say, we won't be back.
Outfit deets: Jacob sweater (new!), DIY denim cut-offs (thrifted men's pants turned shorts), Zara heels & Mossimo clutch (old).
Saturday night dinner: sausages & salae (one splurgy bun for me!).
Saturday night Walmart run to get some treats for a movie night. Earlier that day I realized we were rockin' a twinsies look; the cashier at Walmart loudly pointed it out too.
Sunday morning breakfast: 3 egg whites + 1 egg over easy on toasted ww multigrain & left over turkey bacon from Saturday morning with a peppermint tea.
I spent the day on Sunday doing me. I took outfit photos, filmed a haul video, edited some of my vlog, went shopping--I decided to return the Zara heels I recently purchased--and hit the gym.
Outfit deets: DIY'ed Tina Turner shirt ("Live in Concert!", thrifted), H&M skirt, Aldo wedges, F21 bralette & Ardene cross-body bag.
Did some editing on Sunday morning before heading out. Will have a vlog up tonight from the past week! See my other vlogs HERE.
I worked out on Saturday and Sunday; I recently joined a new gym and love the facility, that said, it's still difficult to get there, but I got it in this weekend.
Sunday night BBQ once again at #Skybox2013; always a good time. Marco made us steaks and mine was perfectly cooked the way I like, rare. This was also my first corn on the cob of the season. Last week, Sarah and I had a conversation about corn on the cob, and really, it's non-health benefits despite being a 'vegetable'. Despite all that, it still tasted delicious and like summertime.
My new favourite wine, Apothic Red; a blend of shirz, merlot, cab sauv & zinfandel. Amaze.
Enjoying another beautiful sunset; Summer please don't go.
Outfit deets:
* Nine West dress from The Bay (new this summer) which I love. I showcased it in my, 'What to Wear to a Summer Event' video. The a-line silhouette is not my typical pick but I love how I feel in this and it is very figure flattering. I've only worn it a couple times in a few months because it's so unique looking but it would be perfect for picnics, a baby or bridal shower, a lunch date and as I wore it: for work.
* Gap cardigan (old) in navy.
* BCBG nude peep-toe pumps (old).
The quality of these pictures turned out terribly, and because I was using my point-and-shoot, I didn't realize until I was exporting them off my camera.
Ugh.
Whatever though, I wanted to share because the outfit was pretty and I felt good in it. Additionally, I post fewer than few outfits so really can't afford not to share this one.
The good news is the weekend is almost here and tonight is my last volleyball game before the tournament in a couple weeks. I joined a beach volleyball league for the first time this summer (I've only ever played indoor before) and while I have enjoyed it, the get-sand-in-place-UOENO, has run it's course. Basically I'm sick of having a permanent hair-washing date every Thursday night so cyanara beach v-ball.
And a fun one from the 'gram...
I think my earliest memory is meeting my new sister in the hospital when she was born. I remember wearing a blue and white mini-checkered pattern dress and being totally enamoured with her tiny feet. Apparently I held her and didn't want to give her back.
Thinking back on this feels so special; my first memory is of my sister, what a sweet one. And now that she is a mother herself--as of just over a week ago--it's almost surreal seeing how small we once were in these photos.
What is your earliest memory?

I hate that everyone is talking Fall--summer is so short, why are we rushing!?--but at the same time, I can't help but get excited for some Fall fashion. I have a distinct idea in my mind of what I want to wear this Autumn, providing the weather cooperates--so not likely--and it involves a lot of dark colours (mainly black, grey, navy & burgundy), chunky moto-style boots, oversized scarves and sweaters--nothing new for me--and getting a cute hat with a big pom-pom on it.
