Friday afternoon and evening it rained and rained. It was such a nice change from the snow and it even got quite mild. I spent the evening in, made a stir fry and relaxed.
Unfortunately the mild weather was short lived because we woke up to a snowstorm on Saturday morning (ugh).
I whipped up some raspberry chia seed jam--my second batch--to stir into my greek yogurt.
Saturday morning gym sesh (chest), then it was onto lunch...

I first saw these leather lace-up heels at Le Cheateau last May (here's proof: I debated purchasing them and asked for your advice on Instagram). I decided to walk away from them, against almost everyone's advice, but haven't stopped thinking about them since--and almost regretted not buying them.
Since last year's lace-up trend seems to be going strong for this year, the hunt continued. When I popped into Le Chateau the other night, I was shocked to see these on the sale rack (for $35, versus the regular $100). I laughingly asked the sales girl to check for my size, knowing full well it was a lost cause...
And then she came back.
With a box.
In my size.
Gasp!
I put them on, again, and pranced around the store knowing they were coming home with me for sure, no questions asked. I wore them the very next day and can't wait for warmer weather to rock them with some bare legs. And, if you want to grab a pair for yourself, the website still has them in the nude-blush colour. Woohoo!
Outfit deets:
* BCBG jacket (borrowed & sold in my former closet sale).
* F21 faux leather top.
* Sirens camo pants which you've seen on the weekend at our new place, with my favourite black boots, for a Halloween costume, during the summertime last year & also in my Fall Fashion video.
* Aldo wedge boots (old) which you've seen with pink pants, with a skirt in my old apartment & also in black with a leopard dress, and a sequin skirt.
* Accessories: Gucci shades (Christmas gift many years ago) & MK watch (also a Christmas gift a few years ago).
While taking these photos, Serena commented the jacket looked like a flying squirrel. She immediately gasped thinking I'd be upset but I burst into laughter--I had never thought of it that way, and it was kind of true, despite really loving the jacket.
Fashion is always in good fun, and I've had a silly Dad who's always made cheeky comments about my clothes; a cropped jacket, 'Hey, your jacket shrunk in the wash', distressed denim, 'Oh, I see you took a tumble and ripped your jeans...', and so on, so it's safe to say, I can handle it.
What are your plans for the weekend? This is the last weekend I have my apartment before I have to give the keys back. My parents are going to help me move the last few items out--some being stored at their place, some to the new place--which will of course be followed by more unpacking. We received our new duvet cover so now the hunt for shams, accent pillows and a few other items can begin too. Otherwise some sleeping in, some breakfast in the new kitchen, and some relax time.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Sorry for the radio silence over the past couple days, I had a bit of blogger's block. Also, wanted to apologize for offending anyone in my previous video--oops, that was not my intention and I'll work on nixing that word. That said, there is no need to be mean, we can have different opinions and still get along. Let's spread positivity and enjoy our time here.
Onto the mid-week snaps! This week has been pretty boring, ha, but I thought I'd share a few photos I've taken. It's mainly been a mix of unpacking, running errands and spending time with some family. I'll let the photos speak for themselves...
Last night, my bestie and I went for pedicures. It was her first outting since having her baby and quite enjoyed. I'm not sure of the colour I'm wearing above, it's a plum-y colour from OPI and I forgot to check the name. I wanted a French pedicure but we went to a place I don't normally go to and they said they couldn't do it. #wahwah
The first piece of art is hung... and my birthday balloons are still going strong!
My parents are back from their month-long vacation in Florida and my mom brought me back a couple Elf blushes from Target. For some reason, we don't have Elf at our Targets in Ottawa and it's an inexpensive brand I like to experiment with.
I have been longing to wear these Shoemint lace-up heels for months, but they they felt so summery, even indoors. That said, I unpacked them the other day and couldn't resist breaking them out--it is the end of March afterall.
Here is the current state of the second bedroom. I've spent a good four hours chipping away at it, since you saw it last. Although it looks cluttered--and by all means, it is--it's starting to take shape and I can actually move around in there now.
And finally, a very special visit to my best friend's new baby last night. He's all of three weeks old and so teeny tiny perfect.
Get to know me a little better with a tag that's currently all the rage on YouTube; the Too Much Information tag. I chat about turn ons, piercings, and the book you must read (ooh, scandalous).
The questions are...
