Outfit deets:
* Dynamite faux leather blazer (new!).
* C'est Moi tank (old) which you've seen a long time ago with my favourite scarf and on the weekend almost a year ago during a photography course.
* Boathouse leggings (new!).
* Accessories: Dolce & Gabanna glasses.
After Marco and I filmed my next video for Place d'Orleans on the weekend, he started to snap a couple shots of me sitting on the couch... turns out the man has a serious hidden talent! While he won't be replacing Serena anytime soon, I had to share these shots he got of me on our new couch. There are even a few that would make great head shots... if I ever needed that sort of thing... with my hair up.
Also, I'll be sharing these items in my video later this week but PDO has the blazer and leggings in store right now, so run, if you're in the area and looking to scoop them up. This blazer totally reminds me of the olive green/faux leather one I picked up this time last year (see it in an outfit post here)--such a great silhouette and price point.

On Friday night I went to Nature Nocturne at the Museum of Nature; a once monthly event where they turn the museum into a night club with multiple rooms with different DJ's and sounds and more. Since it was the kick off to Pride Week here in Ottawa, this one had a burlesque and drag Queen show which was so fun to watch.
There was this huge octopus that hung from the ceiling and changed colours; trust me when I saw it was a huge photo-op to anyone with an Instagram account (ha).
This week has been busy--my own doing--with something happening every night. I don't usually jam pack my schedule, but this week just ended up that way and now I have a weekend with very little plans planned and that's quite alright with me.
On Monday and Wednesday I met up with a friend and we worked out.
I painted my nails with OPI's, 'Mod About You' which is a milky pink that's really pretty but, it's similar to an opaque white where, once it starts to chip, it looks really bad, really fast.
More photos after the jump...
Last week, Marco took me out for my first Ramen experience. We went to Ginza in Chinatown for a casual meal to round out the long weekend.

A few weeks ago I had a really bad day.
Like, really bad.
One that ensued multiple sessions of tears and I just felt emotionally drained. I briefly touched on it in a blog post and someone scoffed commenting something along the lines of, 'Yeah, like your life is so stressful'.
I wanted to talk about this today because like anyone else, I have heartache, emotional ups and downs and while things might look just rosy here, it's not like that all day, err day.
So yes, I had a horrible day, and I cried and it sucked. I vented to my friends, to Marco and had to ride the wave until I decided to push it out of my mind for the next couple days and try to enjoy that weekend.
I'm sharing this because while I try to keep it pretty positive here, there are definitely days where I wake up and kind of just want to stay in bed. I'm not going to post misery and negative rants on here because that's not what you come here for, and that's not really me. I want to share enjoyable experiences, a cool shopping find I'm loving or mini success moments in hopes it inspires someone. I love hearing that you enjoy coming here and hanging out--I know for me, reading blogs is a big happiness part of my day, every day.
All that aside, I want you to know that you are important, and good, and special and we all experience pain and sorrow in our lives, and you are not alone. I have been so low before it felt I would never feel happy again. I have had a hard time picking myself up, getting dressed, and just leaving my apartment. A hard time talking to someone, anyone, without crying. Being so low I could barely crack a smile.
The best part? It was temporary, all pain is. So, if you're having bad day, a bad week, a bad month, or maybe it feels like this just isn't your year, I'm sending you a BIG HUG through the Internet. A big, freaking bear hug. You don't have to smile today, maybe not tomorrow, but know that your smile will soon return, naturally and this too, shall pass.
