Hi ladies! A shorter recap than usual after a somewhat low key weekend, so here we go...
Friday night I hosted a bridal shower for a friend with some help of course. We had 10 ladies, and kept the evening chic and non-traditional with gold decor, no games and lots of sangria and prosecco.
The bride-to-be wore this amazing cape dress and I'm wearing the daisy romper--now on sale!--you've seen before. It was truly a great evening with wonderful company (and lingerie!).

I'm a little bit late on this recap but August has come in with a rumble and I've been on the go! Regardless, July was awesome and who doesn't love one of the quintessential Summer months?
The beginning of the month came in with a bang with the birth of my second nephew on Canada Day (July 1) -- a week before he was due! I visited him and my sister in the hospital and held his tiny newness, so amazing. From there we went to Canada Day festivities at a friend's place despite the pouring rain.
I picked up a couple halter-style bikini tops (loving that trend from this weekend; want this one so bad), shared an all-neutrals--errthang outfit, looked after Peanut for a weekend and detailed my car for Summer. We went to see Kanye at Bluesfest, I picked up these amazing pointed-toe lace-up flat and started to highlight the crap out of my face #strobingftw
I went to a beautiful baby shower, shared a chic black look for Summer, went wake-boarding for the first time and took a long weekend with 17 friends at a huge chalet in Fiddler Lake.
I picked up some new kicks for the gym, swooned over the palm print romper that I didn't buy, and ordered the same lace up shoes in black. I celebrated a friends birthday and did a bit of shopping at Forever 21, scoring a side slit top (huge trend for Fall!). Finally, I started a new series on the blog called Friday Finds where I share some cool links from around the web.
Hello ladies and happy Friday, we made it! What are your plans for the weekend? I'm hosting a bridal shower tonight and visiting Marco's parents in Kingston tomorrow for the day. We are also planning on checking out Taco Fest in Ottawa, which should be fun like last year. Have a great weekend!
How beautiful are these moon coasters?
I love this video; the perfect difference between empathy vs. sympathy.
How to write a condolence note. This moved me to tears.
I love this commercial.
Loving this for Fall to kick your outfit up a notch.
I'm on a new shoe kick. #seewhatIdidthere
What I wore to Taco Fest last year.
I've been obsessed with this coffee for over six months.
I made a kimono.

Yesterday was definitely a day for the books: I was on set all day shooting with my mall, Place d'Orleans, for their 2015 Fall, Winter and Holiday campaigns...as the model!
As most of you know, I'm the Fashion Vlogger for the mall and create monthly videos for their Facebook page and YouTube channel. I always share my videos here and they are always about current trends, how to style and generally upbeat and easy-going videos. This year, they asked me if I would be interested in modelling for their major, annual shoot and of course the answer was yes!
I'd love to share more plus a bunch of photos if you'd like to see...
Hi ladies! I'm so sorry I've been MIA for several days--the weekend got away from me since I was somewhat out of my usual routine as I was staying at my parent's place. They went away for the weekend so I stayed there to watch our family dog, Peanut.
Unfortunately, she is getting very old and we don't know how much longer she will be around--her quality of life has really take a turn for the worse over the past year, so it was great to spend some quality time with her over the weekend.
So with that, onto the snaps!
My new shoes came in (you saw the red pair) and I love the black even more.
These definitely run true to size but are in half sizes. I'm a size 10 and ordered the 8UK and it's a perfect fit. The one qualm about these, and experienced with the other pair, is that they rub on the heel of my smaller foot as I walk and create a blister. That said, sometimes certain shoes just need to be broken in, and I consider these like that. I'm sure after several wears they will be good to go. Ultimately, I'm super pleased with my purchased.
I stopped at the condo before heading to my parent's place for the long weekend, to pack and get changed into my gym clothes.
