Friday night was a bit of a mish-mash night. I got home from work and ended up taking a nap. I ended up meeting Marco at the gym around 7:30pm for a great workout and got a (spray) tan afterwards. Then we went to Montana's for a super late dinner, but it was delicious. I asked for the steak with veggies but our server came back shortly thereafter and told us they were out of vegetables--what?!--so I opted for the loaded baked potato. Naturally.
Saturday afternoon post-workout for shopping.
Outfit deets: Mexx top, Winners leggings, Aldo boots (my newly modified ones--yay!) & purse.
Fall is in the air....and on the leaves of trees.
Saturday evening turned into an impromptu shawarma date & later two movies (Argo & Parker).
I hit the gym--again--on Sunday morning and did cardio for 35 minutes while catching up on my YouTube. My butt was burnin' by the end of it but better than just sitting on my butt watching YouTube instead.
Post-workout breakfast at the Arrow & Loon; we sat on the patio too which was so nice--minus the wasps--as there won't be too many of those opportunities much longer.
I spend Sunday afternoon doing laundry and cleaning my apartment. I made a kale, tomato & avocado salad for a make-shift dinner and several healthy snacks afterwards to tide me over till bed time.

Outfit deets:
* Old Navy jacket (old) which you've seen with black skinnies in the Spring, with a sweater & boots in the 'winter', and a couple years ago in an outfit I still love with the coolest snood I own.
* Vintage top (thrifted).
* Mossimo pants that I picked up in Florida a couple years ago; you've seen them with this jacket before (which I was referencing when I got dressed) and on the weekend.
* Aldo wedge boots (Givenchy inspired) which I'm competely obsessed with and showcased in my most recent Fall Fashion video.
* Accessories: Joe Fresh necklace (old), G21 sunnies, gifted square bangle, Suzy leather wrap bracelet & F21 bangle.
I know I'm kind of bombarding you with posts this week, but, I'm trying to make up for being so slack last week, and also, sometimes the inspiration, ideas and writing comes, and sometimes it doesn't. I was so beat when I got home from work last night but I told myself, 'No, we're going back down and shooting these photos'--as well as the photos for my 'new' boots.
How is everyone's week thus far? Mine has been fine, my evenings have been busy but last night was a total relax night (aside from doing dishes for an hour). Speaking of relaxing, how anti-climatical was the ending of Dexter on Sunday. What. The. Fudg..sicle?! I'm sad it's over, but not nearly as sad as I would of been had it been a heart-wrenchingly upsetting ending. I just feel kind of meh about it. Like, oh well. That ain't right.
I'm talking Fall fashion for this Place d'Orleans Fashion Vlogger video and I'm actually excited Autumn has arrived and is in full swing. Normally I'm so sad to see Summer go, plus equally or more depressed about the impending arrival of Winter, but this year, I'm just embracing the cooler weather the best I can. Additionally, since we are experiencing cooler temps so soon, it's exciting to purchase items that can be worn without a heavy jacket and shown off.
In this video I show you some key Fall trends and how I'm wearing them. I filmed this video and edited in a way I've never done before--I'm learning!--but you'll have to watch to see what I'm talking about. I know a lot of you loved the Aldo wedge boots I wore in my Weekend Snaps a couple weeks ago and they are making their official debut in this video, so watch to get all the nitty gritty.

As always, thanks for watching & stay tuned to the Place d'Orleans Facebook page for more videos!

If you've been following along on my boot-lowering/heel-shortening process, you know about these boots. If not, you can read about it HERE.
I finally picked up my boots after having the heel shortened on them at Bells Corners Shoe Repair in Ottawa. Alex and Tony did a great job and I'm so pleased as these boots were basically written off to the land of decorative shoes for almost four years. You can see me wearing them--the one & only time--HERE.
As promised, I took photos of before and after to share here as I've never had boots lowered before and didn't even really know if it was possible. It is and I considered it well worth it to do so since they are brand new, real leather and boots that I'm still loving many years after getting them.
Read on to see the before and after transformation (also note that the photos I took before were pre-DSLR-photography class and my post photos are much better, if I do say so myself).
* Note: it says on the website they are 5 inch wedges but I measured my measuring tape before taking them in to be modified and they were a solid 6 inches.
