I'm so excited to share with you all that I'm moving! No, my condo is not ready yet--more on that later--but I'm moving to a bigger, and better space and am so excited. I have been in my small, one-bedroom apartment for two and a half years now, and while I never planned to stay that long and have been frequently frustrated over the lack of dishwasher and in-unit laundry, I have really loved living here. I'm not so much as sad to leave, but it will be a transition for sure.
That said, things have happened a lot quicker than expected, but a wise friend said that when things fall into place as they are, with no hiccups, it's meant to be, and this case is no exception.
The search for a new place to live started several weeks ago, and I saw many places. When I saw this place, I couldn't stop thinking about it for days and almost two weeks later, it was a done deal! The move in date is on March 15th (my birthday!) but the keys have already been handed over, and the place is vacant so it will be a gradual move over the next few weeks and then one big moving day for the larger items.
I have been busy adding more items to my closet sale and will begin purging other items from my apartment. I'm going to be selling several pieces of my furniture as there just won't be space for them, and I'm looking forward to a fresh start.
I plan to take photos and a video tour of the place empty this weekend, and then of course vlog and share the moving and decorating process, and ultimately the final outcome, so stay tuned!
And the most exciting part of all, my new roommate...

Saturday morning at the gym for shoulder day. I was so annoyed being there so early, but of course, so glad I went.
On another note, this is a new top and I felt so yucky in it--despite the picture looking good--which just reaffirms me that if you look good (in your mind), you feel good, so workout clothes you like and feel good in, make a big difference.
Saturday morning something exciting happened, and I know this is a total teaser (like I did on Instagram) but I will be sharing some exciting news tomorrow!
We grabbed Dirienzo's for lunch and had a little picnic with our Tim Hortons drinks.
Elevator selfie with an unsuspecting boyfriend in the background--or perhaps he was aware and just doesn't care.
Later Saturday afternoon we drove down to Kingston to visit Marco's parents. We spent the night and visited with his family.
We hit up H&M and I tried and bought a few new pieces, including this t-shirt and those faux leather leggings.
The next day, before heading home, Marco insisted I try my very first Hoagie. It was super messy but uber delicious.
I purchased these boots last week to replace the three pairs of completely worn out boots I have on rotation. I don't love them as much as the others, but the price was right. I promised myself I would throw out the others if I purchased these, since I needed them... and I have yet to throw any boots out #lightweighthoarder
Once back in Ottawa, we grabbed Nando's and ran some errands.
We ended up at Ikea and I insisted on getting ice cream cones (in -10C weather, no less).
Taking a rest.
When I got home, I added 30 pairs of shoes to my closet sale on my Facebook page, including these boots I've never worn.
And finally, a sneak peek at the items I bought on the weekend from H&M. I'm loving black, navy, and grey lately and don't want to wear much else. These pieces feel so effortlessly me.
Left to right: Navy thin-knit sweater, black t-shirt, black faux leather leggings & black faux leather (front) and fabric (back) leggings
Hello everyone and happy Monday! I know this isn't my usual Weekend Snaps, but half my photos from the weekend are on Marco's phone and I'm waiting on him to send them to me (saw-rayyy); I will get that up by tomorrow.
In the meantime, I had a really great and exciting weekend and also travelled out of town to Kingston to visit Marco's parents. More on all the weekend shenanigans shortly.
In the meantime, tell me what the best meal was that you ate this weekend? Mine was a little indoor picnic with Marco and our Dirienzo sandwiches. Le yum.
Get. In. My. Closet (preferably in that plum colour... but I'd take black too).
Gah.
And here a cheaper alternative for all us common folk.
