Happy Tuesday! How was your long weekend? I took an extra long weekend and today am back to the grind--it was a well needed break so let's jump into the snaps...
Canada Day was miserable in the later afternoon, and we just hunkered down indoors and relaxed. We toyed with the idea of having our friends over for a BBQ, but ultimately decided to stay in, get pizza and watch a movie.

O U T F I T D E T A I L S : OFF THE SHOULDER TOP | WIDE LEG TROUSERS (ANOTHER SPLURGE, SIMILAR, BUDGET FRIENDLY) | ASOS FEATHER CLUTCH -- OLD (SIMILAR, SPLURGE)
Happy Canada Day! What are your plans for the long weekend? We are planning to celebrate the day with a rooftop BBQ and maybe make our way downtown with some friends later on. I'm most excited to see Cirque du Soleil this weekend! It's come to Ottawa and I love seeing Cirque shows, they are just mesmerizing, so entertaining and the talent is incredible.
Onto the outfit, I'm loving anything off the shoulder and this pretty blouse ups the ante with it's soft ruffles. Tuck it or wear it loose, it's the silhouette of the Summer. The pants are a huge score that I found at Saks Off Fifth recently, deeply discounted, and had to scoop up. I have the hardest time finding wide leg/flare pants that are long enough for me since I'm quite tall, and these ones actually had to be hemmed--and I'm wearing them with a pair of my tallest heels! #bestdayever
Hope you have a great weekend, whether you're celebrating Canada Day or the Fourth of July on Monday, or just a regular ol' time off, hope it's great and see you next week!
You ladies know I'm a huge sucker for leggings, but the athleisure trend that is happening currently is right up my alley. I know a lot of you work in offices, so is there really anything better than being comfortable and stylish come the weekend?
I find myself, more and more, opting for comfy basics when the weekend hits but I still want to look pulled together. To pull of the look, grab your neutral workout pieces, and then I like to up the cool-girl factor with high-tops. I'm loving these fresh white kicks for Summer--nothing better than a new pair of sneaks #amiright ?!
Last month, we went to Toronto to take in a Raptors game and take a mini getaway. I captured some footage and thought I'd share in a little vlog.
We stayed at One King West, which was right downtown and quite nice--definitely a great spot if you're looking to walk to sporting events, the Eaton Centre, great restaurants, etc. You can see a photo recap of the weekend here.
Hi ladies & happy Monday! How was your weekend?
On Friday night, I went to get my hair done for the first time in almost two years (!!!). If you follow on Snap (I'm acoest1984), you saw the outcome and after living with it over the weekend, I'm not totally happy. That said, she mentioned it would lighten more as I wash it, so I'm going to give it a few washes to see where we stand.
Essentially, I asked to bring up the blonde in my balayage, lighten around my face and in my bang, keep my natural base colour, and used this as my inspiration photo. She did a great job blending, and the blonde came out quite beige, however, I am really bummed there isn't a huge contrast between the brown and blonde. It definitely looks natural, I was just hoping for brighter blonde.
All that to say, I'll keep you posted on how it plays out after a few washes. You can see an after pic in the photo below, which was taken Saturday afternoon.
