While in Italy, we visited Bellagio, a little town up north, on Lake Como.  To say it was an amazing experience doesn't do it justice because the hotel and scenery were so unbelievably beautiful, you'd think it was out of a painting.

We stayed for two nights, and on our second night we spent it at the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni--the only five star hotel in Bellagio.  The hotel is family owned and has been for generations.  Built as a private home in 1853, it was turned into a luxury hotel 20 years later, and regularly quoted as one of the best hotels in the world.  #ibelieveit

The day we arrived, it was beautiful, warm and sunny.  We took advantage by exploring the property and snapping some photos.  I'm so glad we did, because the following day, it rained all day long--however, considering it was the best hotel of our entire trip, not a bad way to hang out indoors (plus their Internet connection was amazing).

Hi ladies, happy Tuesday!  How is your week going?  I'm fighting some serious post-vacation blues, and while I'm happy to be home, settling back into reality is hard.  That said, I think having several days to get back to normalcy before working again has been helpful for the jet lag--they say a day per hour difference and it certainly hasn't taken me six days to adjust (unlike last time!).  Still, I'm not making any plans for this week because I need some serious down time during the evenings.

This jacket has been getting a ton of play lately, I brought it with me on our trip, and it was the perfect balance between edgy and warm when I needed it to be.  It's now available in a few other colours, too, so if taupe isn't your jam, you can find one that is.  Definitely a great investment piece for the wardrobe that you will wear for years to come.

My weekend began on Thursday, as we were heading out of town on Friday, but more on that in a second.  On Thursday evening, we met up with our friends for Thai food and catch ups.  Still fighting some jet lag, we called it an early night around 9:30pm, but it was still great to see them.

On Friday morning, you guessed it...

Happy Sunday ladies!  We are finally back for good, after two weeks of living out of a suitcase--with only a brief 36 hours at home last week between Italy and heading to Toronto--it feels good to be home.  I've missed sitting at my computer and connecting with you!  I hope you've had a great weekend, it's been pretty rainy today for us, but that's okay. 

It's been over a month since I've rounded up some weekend deals, so thought today would be a nice way to finish it off.  I'll be back tomorrow with a full recap of the weekend, see you then!

Hello hello!  I’m writing to you from the plane on our way home from Italy.  We had a wonderful trip and I’ll be sharing all of the photos and outfits in the coming week once I get organized.

Today I wanted to share a look I’m loving because anything with white pants is a-ok in my books!  Although this look is soft, it’s cozy at the same time with the sweater, and I love how this looks more dressed up with the nude pumps.  Throw on a tan or grey bootie, add a chunky scarf, and it would be great for a more casual situation.
