Fall seems to come in as quickly as it goes out so I was thinking I'd put together a little check list of things I'd like to do before that first snowflake falls.

* Eat pumpkin pie.

* Wear over-the-knee sockscomplete

* Take some photos of the changing seasons, putting my new skills to the test.

* Wear heeled boots once per weekend (I find once winter comes, I'm stuck in flat boots in fear of slipping on the ice and falling in heels; now is the perfect time with dry roads).

* Make a cauliflower soup (I've done broccoli before).

* Put together as many weekend outfits as possible from my 2013 Fall Inspiration Pinterest board (tons of layered black & effortless-chic looks).


Friday night date.
Outfit deets:  F21 jacket, DKNY tee, Urban Planet pants & necklace, Aldo wedge boots (my newly modified ones) & vintage clutch


On Saturday, as some of you know, I hosted the Place d'Orleans #MYVIPNIGHT at the mall.  You guys know that I am the mall's fashion vlogger--and create monthly videos for them--and so it was really exciting when they asked me to host this cool event.  Tickets were $20 and all the proceeds went to Dress for Success.  There was a fabulous chocolate table, cocktails, music, a photo booth, it was catered and mini-make-up applications were being done too. I'm going to do a full recap of it this week, so stay tuned for more photos.

Part of the evening was a shoe fashion show with these lovely local bloggers.  I pulled three pairs of shoes for each girl from various retailers at the mall that agreed to participate.  The shoes ranged from boots to pumps to flats & it went really well.  This is a shot of us all afterwards, at the photo booth, in our own shoes.


Post #MYVIPNIGHT at Montana's with my man & my bestie; burgers for everyone!


On Sunday morning we hit the gym then travelled to Kingston to visit family for the day and have an early Thanksgiving meal.


This is my not my favourite picture but I wanted to show you the apple tree in my boyfriend's parents' back yard!  Here's a fun fact: this tree grows five different types of apples--what?!--and I have no idea how, but I saw it with my own eyes.
Outfit deets:  unknown faux leather jacket (from Winners), Joe Fresh sweater dress (last year), Sirens leggings & necklace, Rampage boots, Ardene over-the-knee socks

Finally relaxing at 10pm on Sunday night with a veggie stir fry & YouTube.  What a busy--but enjoyable--weekend!

Happy Monday!


#MYVIPNIGHT is happened on Saturday, October 5 from 5pm - 7pm at Place d'Orleans Mall in Ottawa. Thanks to everyone who came out and I met; it was great evening!
