Outfit deets:
* Dynamite faux leather jacket (old) which I packed for Toronto Fashion Week (almost a year ago!) and with a red pencil skirt in an old outfit post that I still really love.
* La Senza tee (new!).
* Sirens camo pants which you've seen at Halloween.
* Aldo wedge boots; modified as they originally had a huge platform that I had removed in the Fall.
Happy Thursday--we are getting super close to the weekend which is always a plus in my books.
This week has super cold, like -35C cold… like can't-go-outside-without-mitts cold…. like your-nose-doesn't-run-because-it's-already-frozen-cold… TMI? I digress.
Basically it's terrible to go outside, but life goes on, right? On the plus side, if you have beautiful boots you love, that keep you warm, you can wear them because the pavement is dry and the snow is hard. If you live in a warm climate right now, and have no idea what I'm talking about, you can bite me. Just kidding, but seriously, do you have a guest room?
Have a great day friends & see ya tomorrow.

A make-over for my site has been a long time coming and while I will eventually switch over to another platform and get more customized, I'm really happy to share with you a more streamlined version of my blog.
So what's changed?
| There are navigational pages at the top, so if you're new--or not--you can easily find your way around.
| The search bar has moved up to the top and you can easily access all my social media links below it.
| The formatting is a little different, and I'm really pleased with how my posts align now, with the title front and centre along with the date.
| Another cool option, you can share all posts with one click! Below each post, there is a Facebook / Twitter / Pinterest option for sharing, which will open up a share window for you to easily post to your favourite social media site--that is, if you want to share something.
| I created a new header to be congruous with my business cards, Style Consulting business and other social media platforms.
And finally, the design was done by Mlekoshi Playground & offered by Luvly.co.
As always, thanks so much for coming here and checking out what I'm up to. I hope you like the new layout and find it more pleasing to the eye and easier to read. Feedback is welcome as I want this to be a place you want to come, enjoy and like looking at.
Friday night pedicures with my bestie--so needed.
I threw on my favourite boots since it was dry outside with no sign of snow nor ice to head to my man's place later on.
A mishmash dinner on Friday night of take-out pad thai & Bourbon chicken.
Saturday early morning gym sesh; I ran for the first time in a while. My calves still hurt.
The fresh pedi with an awkward foot shot.
I spent the entire day on Saturday running errands in preparation for Sarah's baby shower that I was throwing on Sunday… except for a two hour break in Winners. I loved the cut and fit of these sweatpants--to wear with heels--but I couldn't get past the colour as I would really like these in a charcoal heather grey instead. I did, however, purchase the top I'm wearing (it's Vero Moda).
My favourite steeped tea getting me through the day.
Much, much later on Saturday night, once all baby shower preparations were finished, I slipped into some OTK boots and had an impromptu date night with Marco.
We went to Lonestar and on a whim, and at his suggestion I got a lime Margarita… and then I got a second one.
Sunday was the baby shower and it went perfectly. I was so please with how the table turned out, I worked so hard on creating and designing all the decorations. More pictures and detailed shots to come.
My outfit for the shower.
Outfit deets: Spense top (new!), Urban Planet leatherette leggings, Liliana wedges (new!) & Auslini bangle.
A sweet treat while watching Breaking Bad on Sunday night; a Wendy's frosty--mmm!
I'm so behind in sharing these on my blog but the truth is, I took far longer than I hoped to edit them and get them up… and Sunday's vlog is still in the editing queue. Trials and tribs, I tell ya; I'll post it here once complete though so check back.
Thanks for watching! xo
Curled hair & pink lips for the work day earlier this week.
Outfit deets: H&M dress, Swarovski earrings & Maybelline Coloursensational in Fuchsia Flash.
A pic that wasn't included in the full outfit post.
I shared this photo on Instagram with my new shoes--having a major ankle strap moment--and asked you guys to weigh in. While I love both, I'm digging the yellow more.
Off the shoulder for a night out with my man and his friends.
We ate at Izakya, which we have been really excited to try, unfortunately it was a major bust. We were so disappointed with the food. On that note, if you're looking to try it out, Wednesday night is 50% off night on the entire menu.
Apres dinner.
Outfit deets: F21 coat, Joe Fresh gloves, Parasuco denim, Aldo boots & clutch.
When I can't share an outfit on my blog, I often post it to Instagram under #acolookdowns
I made pulled pork sandwiches--with a paprika rub, some maple syrup, a can of Guinness and the crock pot--on Thursday evening and home-made 'slaw.
I'm the newest Style Ambassador for Clearly Contacts--more to come on that--and the glasses I picked out arrived yesterday! So excited about these Dolce & Gabbana specs.
Happy Friday! Yipee!
