SWEATER (ALSO HERE & HERE)

Happy Saturday!  What are your plans for the weekend?  I'm so excited because Marco has been away all week for work and today he comes home!  Tomorrow we are celebrating my bestie's second babe, he's turning one, and otherwise some serious R & R.

Last night, I hit up Marshalls and found this amazing lace up sweater, which is actually available online right now.  If you're in Ottawa, it's at the Trainyards location for $59.

Venice was that one city I was on the fence about--it seemed silly not to go there, being in Italy, and not checking it out last time, but I just wasn't... sold.

Cue the moment we stepped out of the train station: sold.

Something about being surrounded by so much water, the vastness of it and the fact that the city was built on it, was just so incredible.

O U T F I T  D E T A I L S  :  BLUSH SWEATER (SIMILARSIMILAR, SIMILAR)  |  BRALETTE (SIMILAR, SIMILAR)  |  F21 CHOKER  |  SUNGLASSES  |  DARK DENIM SKINNIES  |  OVER THE KNEE BOOTS (SIMILAR, SIMILAR)  |  BAG (BUDGET FRIENDLY)

I'll be honest, I wasn't super sure I'd get a ton of use out of these boots--they are beautiful, but they are not black or tan.  That said, I've already styled them with a dress and in a fun way for fall with a hat and scarf, and that's just on the blog.  Plus, when I started hunting around for similar pairs to share with you girls, there are so many burgundy options out there, these were definitely a great purchase.

This look makes me think of date night, or Valentine's Day--I love mixing pinks and reds, and this is a little easier with the blush and burgundy.  It's soft and pretty, but the denim keeps it grounded.  Also, since this sweater (which is now sold out--I'm sorry!) has such a deep v, I paired it with a bralette which is way prettier if it happens to peek out, plus really comfortable.  I wouldn't say it's the route you'd want to take if you're looking to create major cleavage, but I prefer the subtlety of it when you're showing a lot of skin.

Happy Monday!  Hope you ladies had a great weekend.  Mine was a mix of productive, busy + lazy; and I'd be lying if I said that one extra hour we got for daylight savings wasn't appreciated!

On Friday night, after a few hours of binge watching The Walking Dead, we did a one hour power clean of the condo.  Marco and I divided up the tasks--I took bathrooms and laundry, and he took kitchen and the living room.  I knew we wouldn't have a ton of time over the weekend to get it all done, so it really worked out well.  Seriously, waking up to a clean house on Saturday morning (after sleeping in) was pure bliss!  #adulting

On Saturday, we went to the Ottawa Wine & Food Show, which is an annual event, people get dressed up, walk around a huge venue and buy tickets to try various wines and food.  This year it was held at a different location and it was a little disappointing, actually.  However, we made the best of it and took part in a cool cheese tasting feature they had which was delicious.

Hope you ladies are having a great weekend, just wanted to hop on here and share some great sales happening right now online.  Additionally, Nordstrom is having their fall clearance sale so several items I tried on & purchased during the anniversary sale back in July are now marked down, so I'm sharing my favourites below.  

Bell sleeves are having a major moment this one I've had my eye on is now on sale, love this one that laces up the back and I'm loving this one in the dark grape and oatmeal colours.
