Friday was a gorgeous, sunny and warm day that I spent inside sick. In fact, I'm still fighting this ridiculous cold that started over a week ago! Can you believe that? I went to the Doctor mid-week and she said this new strain of colds are hanging on for up to two weeks, so, it's not uncommon that mine is sticking around. That said, I'm getting better and better by the day and coughing less and less. The above photo is a pic of the beautiful sunset on Friday night.
On Saturday morning, this furry girl woke me up super early and since Marco was still suffering from minor jet lag, I got up and then she proceeded to ignore me... unless I left the room where extreme meowing ensued. And so, we hung out in the sunny living room.
Outift deets: C'est Moi tank, Paige denim, Bamboo sandals & F21 cross-body bag (available here).
On Saturday afternoon I decided to put on make-up, real clothes--goodbye sweats!--and leave the house for the first time in a week (beside's my Doc appointment). I took it slow and just poked around Home Sense and Winners and grabbed a couple necessity groceries. I definitely felt it when I got home and had to lie down for a couple hours although it was really nice to get out.

As you know, I was supposed to travel to Vegas last weekend for four days but had to cancel my trip due to falling ill. Since I was all packed and ready to go, I thought it could be useful to share how I managed to pack everything into a carry-on suitcase!
As someone who tends to overpack, I can honestly say I was pretty proud of myself for narrowing it down to just one small suitcase and a duffle bag. I discovered a few tips and tricks while packing for this trip too and wanted to share.

After sharing this photo on Instagram and having it blow up, I figured I had to share this super simple, gluten-free, dairy-free, healthy pancake recipe that I discovered it through Blogilates.
These pancakes are light, fluffy and best eaten stacked with some fruit on the side. You could use syrup but I found the fruit was enough sweetness and I wanted to keep it as guilt-free as possible.

If you're already subscribed to my YouTube channel, you've already seen this video; I upload new videos every week too, so worth clicking over. However, if you haven't seen this, here is a quickie two-minute recap of my trip to New York City this month.
Outfit deets:
* Ashley B jacket (old) which you've seen with raw-hem denim and with a skirt and booties.
* Jacob thin-knit sweater from my Back-to-School Lookbook.
* Nitrogen pants (old) which are actually olive green and you've seen with a cognac leather jacket and a cozy sweater cape.
* Maxgreat boots (new!) from Marshalls.
* Accessories: Dynamite scarf (new!), Aldo bag, F21 necklace & Michael Kors sunnies (similar).
I'm the kind of shopper that when I see something I like, I will usually debate it by walking around the store for a while, ensuring I don't find anything I like more before rushing to the cash. Also, while I love to shop and do shop often, I frequently leave empty handed. That said, sometimes there are items that you see and it's like an instant click; you know it's coming home with you.
That can be said for these boots I recently picked up at Marshalls. I was sub-conciously looking for a pair of tall, black, leather boots with a chunky heel that would be work-appropriate, but also comfortable enough to wear on weekends. When I spotted these, I tried them on immediately and did a little happy dance when they fit knowing there was no question, they were coming home with me.
I have since worn them multiple times, including to work, out shopping and running errands and have to say, despite being a pretty simple looking boot, they get tons of compliments. I couldn't find a link online, but if you're in Ottawa, run to Marshalls at Trainyards and scoop yourself a pair.
