I know I'm a few days late but I couldn't not share this recap.  October just might be my favourite month of the year (provided it doesn't snow, which it didn't) with the fashion/layers, cooler temps, changing leaves and the ability to cover up a few extra desserts underneath said extra layers (hehe).
 
In October I finally finished our bed by purchasing decorative pillows which I spent weeks searching for, I put the gym in our building to use several times and picked up some new burgundy heels.  The most exciting part of last month was visiting Barbados with six friends for over a week.  We had such a great time and since our friend is Bajan and his now fiancĂ© (they got engaged while there!) had been eight times, we were in great hands to see more than anyone would otherwise (even more photos here).
 
Other than that, I shared some new boots in a layered up outfit post, we bought a new chair for our living room (see the full condo tour here), and hosted a dinner with three other couples.  I rocked some new booties, cooked my first turkey for my family, got back to the gym and celebrated Halloween with two costumes: mimes & a pink flamingo!

Hello ladies!  Happy Monday--hope you had a great weekend and Halloween.  I kept busy and we had some beautiful weather so without further adieu, onto the snaps...

Friday was Halloween and two days before I decided to dress up as a pink flamingo


We had a huge potluck lunch at work which was delicious--so many great dishes brought in by everyone (I made a black bean salad).  The downfall?  Spilling sauce on my pink costume shirt!  #soclumsy


Friday night I went to the gym with a girl friend and we did legs (and butt).  I am working on a few workout posts but to give you an idea of what we did:

I know I'm a little late, but we had a Halloween party last night, despite being the day after, and I wanted to share our costumes.

Marco came up with the idea to be mimes and I was able to mostly pull things from our closets to complete our outfits.  I picked up his striped shirt at Joe Fresh and bought white cream make-up for our faces.

Happy Halloween!  Despite being confused with a ballerina 50% of the time, this pink flamingo costume was a big hit and cute at the same time.  I hadn't planned to dress up during the day today but then I saw Veronika's adorable flamingo DIY for her daughter and it sparked an idea for myself.

We are in full swing Fall here in Ottawa so I've picked up a bunch of items for my favourite season.  This time of year is all about layers, dark and moody colours and natural materials like suede and knits.  Check out my newest video on Fall fashion above to see what I scored.
