'Twas a fabulous weekend, indeed.

A bit of a chill, but the sun was shining and as long as the sun is out - I am a giddy gal!

The b/f and I went to an antique show on Saturday and this is what I wore. I've never really been antiquing but have always been fascinated by the thrill of the find. I was quite surprised at the price of most items - very expensive. The best deal we got was 4 Vogue covers from 1925 - for $5. We're going to mount them to hang in the powder room.

Then my patient b/f accompanied me to a shopping mall where I was looking to purchase a skirt for church. I treated him to ice cream for his good deed :) And it was the first ice cream cone of the season! Even better.

shopping.

shoes (Winners); headband (Simons); sequin blazer (Simons); top (H&M)

This is what I bought in Montreal. The very best part is that they were gifts for me from my mom. It's my nameday on Sunday so she said I could treat myself. Yay mom!

The shoes have a removable ruffle which then makes them look like 3-strap Mary-Janes. Love.

I have a little obsession with cute headbands at the moment so this one fits nicely into my collection. I don't go for demure and sweeet. I choose statement pieces. Swoon.

The sequin blazer was a STEAL. It was regularly $185.00. I found it on a clearance rack for $9.99. Yup. And when I tried it on - everyone was scouring the racks to find another. I love those kinds of steals. Sweet.

I saw this top on a blog and then when I was in the store, spotted it on the rack. I knew I'd love it even more in person - and I do. Zing.

Have a terrific Thursday peeps!

*hugs*

end of week.

jeans (Reitmans); jacket (Ricki's); top (Winners); black tank (Fairweather); necklace and earrings (gifted); shoes (Winners)

I always feel very chic and polished with this jacket. And normally I would wear it over a solid top but I had a lunch date on Friday and felt this would work really well. The top had similar colours to the jacket. I love how it turned out.

Side note: I saw the host of one of our television morning shows wearing this top on her show!

I went shopping in Montreal this weekend and hit up stores we don't have in my city (ie. H&M, Forever 21, Simons) I only bought a few items (I find the stores are very in between seasons right now) but the most amazing items which I will photograph and post this week.

Happy Monday!

to golf or not to golf....is that the question?

denim capris (Zellers); black tshirt (from the office); gold flats (GAP); pearl studs (gifted)

The question isn't really whether I should golf or not, because I like golfing, the question is what to wear when I'm golfing. There is an entirely new world to golf attire. I made due today with my nice dark denim capris and an office logo'd tshirt, plus my cute yellow Nikes. I've decided to keep my outfits simple: khaki capris; solid coloured tshirts; a cute hat and cute shoes! I don't do plaid at all, let alone well, so that's out and forget about sporting a skirt. It gets wet and mucky out there.

I love dressing for the occasion!

Tonight I am having a kind of dress swap with one of my best friends. We're pretty close to the same body type though she's taller. We're both well-endowed; she's got fantastic legs so while I wear my dresses below my knee, they fall perfect on her. We have a mutual friend's wedding next weekend and instead of shopping for new stuff...we're going to try each other's on and see what we come up with. We did this last time we went to NY together too. We pretty much liked what the other person had brought with them so we wore each other's clothes. I love when that can be done. My sister is a size 2 while I am safely 6 times larger than that so needless to say - we don't swap often. Ha!

It's Thirsty Thursday and the sun's out! Enjoy all it has to offer!

*hugs*

finally fabulous friday!!

trouser jeans (Reitmans); white top (Banana Republic); navy heels (Nine West); clear bead necklace (Banana Republic); studs (Banana Republic)

I almost wore Banana Republic jeans today too! But was too lazy to get them from the laundry room. Then today would have been a BR day!

My birthday was wonderful. No exclamation needed. It was perfect. The new manfriend met the best friend and they got along great! Definite exclamantion needed.

Tonight I have a date night with him and have chosen to eat at a burger place called The Works. There are like 100 toppings you can put on your burger! My coworkers have been telling me about their favourites...everything from mac'n cheese to peanut butter and cream cheese to peppercorns and horseradish. I'm super psyched! All about a burger joint. Ha!

I went dress shopping with my mom last night so she could find something to wear to my goddaughter's wedding in a few weeks. While she didn't find anything for herself, I bought myself another dress. I was super proud of myself...I tried on a bunch of stuff and styles I never would have thought would look good! I found way too many things I liked and showed great restraint while shopping...I have to save for Greece so I keep that in the back of my mind. Plus, am thinking of a winter getaway to a beach someplace so need to save for that too. And...NY in December. Rockefeller Centre here I come!

Have a fantastic weekend bloggers!

*hugs*

hello!

brown capris (Suzy Shier); magenta top (Charlotte Russe); brown wedges (Sears); earrings (Dynamite)

I'm back!! I know how you missed me so :)

I really missed this though I've gotta admit. Seeing what's going on with your blogs, outfits, ideas, laughs...I really understand how this is a community.

The past 2 weeks have been the busiest I have ever had! It was great - media launches, hospital tours, sponsor visits...but it left me utterly exhausted. I am gearing up for our Telethon in one month and am excited because this is the BEST TIME to be me at my job! And look good while doing it!

I never repeated an outfit - in fact, haven't since I started the blog in January. I think that's pretty awesome.
This past weekend, a girlfriend and I went shopping to Watertown, NY which is a 3 hour drive for us and I wasn't planning on buying much of anything. Then I walked past Charlotte Russe. We don't have it in Canada and my girlfriend who lives in NY once took me there - and it was great. It was just as great this time around too! I only brought $100 US with me to spend and I did - successfully! 7 tops and 3 earrings. And the very best part is that no one else here will be wearing what I have on! hehehe It's not that I'm vain - but I hate when everyone is so cookie-cutter and doesn't think to make an outfit their own. Anyways, I digress...

Great shopping in the States...wish I could go there more. Oh wait, am going for the long weekend in May! Hooray!!

*hugs*
