I'm living in a bit of a chaotic mess, currently, but that's kind of expected with move day only four days away, right?
Four days you guys!
I'm so freaking excited, but did have a big of an ugly-cry-meltdown in front of Marco on Monday night. I like to keep it real here so I think with all the happiness and excitement, the stress of moving and such a big change was suppressed and it just bubbled up quickly and had to come out. That said, I feel so much better and understood and just, ready.
So we've had a few hiccups this week, with regards to the move but I'm trying to stay positive. Basically we were all set to move in this coming Sunday and have been advised that we are not allowed to move on the weekend, according to the condo Property Manager. Additionally, we have to pay a fee to move in--does this sound ridiculous to you? It sounds a little ridiculous to me. However, chins are up because ultimately this is exciting and by this time next week I'll be moved in with a glass of wine in hand (likely while continuing to unpack, ha).
I have been doing some slow packing this week, and am taking a load to the consignment shop tonight, which will get rid of some of the clutter. I have five garbage bags sitting in my front foyer to be donated and a kitchen that hasn't been touched, as far as packing goes.
However, I've packed up more than half my clothes, most of my decor and trinkets, and shoes. I feel like when you start packing though, you realize how much more you have than you thought. So, in a sense I feel like I'm doing good with the packing, but know I have a ways to go. With that, the next few days are open and dedicated to packing. C'mon Monday, I'm excited for you!

Outfit deets:
* Vero Moda blazer which I purchased on Boxing Day and you've seen with a pretty floral dress.
* Jules & James fox top which you've seen with hot pink shorts in the summertime.
* Jacob jeans (thrifted) which I don't wear often because they stretch out quickly but I love the knee and back details on.
* Aldo Baulch heels which you've seen with red leather pants. Considering I was torn on spending the $40 bucks on these and wear them at least twice a week, I'd say I've easily gotten my money's worth.
* Accessories: Limité necklace, Bijoux Terner cuff & vintage (via garage sale) clutch.
I picked up this cute fox top almost two years ago at Zellers and it's been a favourite in these summer and winter time. It has spaghetti straps but the neckline is pleated and the fabric is a thicker, matte satin finish--all around goodness. It feels good and looks good considering it was such an inexpensive find. On top of all that, the print is cheeky and unexpected and always makes people giggle--I like that.
One of my favourite tips to share with friends when rolling your jeans is to keep it messy, 'Like you didn't try, but you actually did'. It looks effortless despite the few minutes it took to get those messed up cuffs juuust right.

Since I was sick all last week, my weekend was pretty low key and these weekend snaps are pretty boring with a lot of restaurant food--a nice change from five days of home-made egg-mcmuffin breakfasts, apples with cheese snacks and soup for dinner. We had our new bed delivered, cable installed, ordered our sectional and found a mattress. Read on to see basically what I ate...
Friday night on my own I had no groceries and did not feel up to going out so I ordered Greek on Wheels and edited some footage (if you'd like, see Sarah's baby shower video here).
I slept in Saturday morning and then did some light packing. I used some winter accessories & pashminas to wrap up a few fragile items. I am moving this Sunday!
On our way to the new spot, we stopped for chicken sandwiches and I splurged on fries (I never get fries but had a hankering).
I showered, got dressed and did my hair for the first time in a week. I didn't feel great, but improved, which was a nice change from being so sick with a terrible sinus cold. Here I am with our new bed! We had scheduled the delivery over a week ago so it was a real week brightener.
The view from our new place--will be so nice in the summer with the water.
A sneak peak at the closet in the second bedroom with a few things. I still have so much to bring but have purged a lot.
Quiet Saturday night in, resting more with some Carribean take-out.
Sunday morning I was woken at 8:45am by a call from the cable guy who was going to be at our new place, 'in five minutes'. Panic! I jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, tossed my make-up in a bag and rushed off. I called Marco immediately and he showed up just minutes after me with Tim Hortons in hand--so perfect.
It took over three hours for the guy to install the cable and Internet and we just sat around on our phones--isn't technology grande? Afterwards, we ordered our new sectional and found a mattress which is being delivered on Tuesday. Then home to rest for a few hours.
Later in the evening we returned to the new spot and did a few loads of laundry. The fact that we have some fresh towels ready to go for when we move in makes me happy. Plus, four fewer things to move.
The rest of the night was spent assembling our new bed since it's the only chance we have before the mattress arrives. I'm so pleased with how it looks and can't wait to see it in the daylight. Still need to buy a duvet, bedspread and throw pillows. I've already purchased a set of sheets which I'll have to wash this week prior to move day. Exciting time!
For my video lovers, here's a repeat on my life update. Move date is next weekend; can't wait!
