Play Ball

Just keeping the baseball theme a chuggin'.  I received this sweatshirt in the mail the other day & let me tell you, it's one of those off-duty pieces I appreciate when I'm feeling less than inspired (i.e. standing in my closet with a blank look on my face).  I decided to keep this black & white look in black & white, look out I'm trying something new over here...

-11/-22

Last week, temperatures dropped to -11 C and felt like -22 C with the wind chill factored in.  Today you're seeing an overly-layered outfit, but hey- I like to show you what I actually wear on a daily basis...

That's the Way Love Goes

I wore this out for pizza & beers over the weekend.  I thought it seemed important to distinguish this as a 'valentine's day appropriate look' simply because valentine's day does not have a specific dress code.  I have found that few people dress for the place or activity and instead, completely focus on the occasion.  For instance, if you're going to a family restaurant and you're wearing a skin-tight bodycon dress with sky-high heels & everyone else is donning casual attire (see below), you're probably a culprit of the aforementioned.  With that said, I'm all for wearing what makes you feel beautiful/good/confident/etc., but let's use our judgment ladies...

Wild Child

What better way to kick off the week than with a bit of unexpectedness?  This blazer is one of my favorite pieces when it comes to wearing something bold & out of the ordinary, but it can be difficult to style.  I'm prone to pairing dressy items with heels, but this time I grabbed my sneakers instead...

Endless Summer

Wore this last Saturday, when it was so warm in the sun that long sleeves & pants were unnecessary.  Those days seem to have disappeared & been replaced with cloudy, grey skies...

Where the Light Is

How appropriate that the last long weekend of summer was experienced with both bare arms & legs.  The sun was out in full force & I'm very pleased to have taken full advantage of it, as the clouds seem to be rolling in as I type this...

Rained Out

We're receiving gallons of rain it seems like lately, which means super simple outfits & a great excuse to wear these sneakers on a daily basis...

Summer Ready

Sometimes all you want to wear are sweats & sneakers.  I make a real effort to leave those items for home-use only, but occasionally I'll run to the grocery store or on a coffee run (i.e. when I'm sick, hungover, in a hurry, or just plain lazy).  This dress is the next best thing to sweatpants & when paired with my hidden-wedge sneakers? Pure comfort without looking sloppy...

Photo Friday

Going to be a crazy weekend, filled with a wedding rehearsal & BBQ tonight, a wedding that I'm so honored to be a part of tomorrow & of course, a baseball game on Sunday.  Just a few photos from my week before I finish a half day of work & head for my pedicure this afternoon :)

The combination of my samudra clutch & my mono & me bracelet is a new favorite...

Iced coffee galore!

Photo Friday

Photos from the long weekend last weekend (Victoria Day) that went by far too quickly.  However, I happened to give myself another long weekend (3 days) this weekend by taking today off to spend some time with my gal-pal.  Enjoy!

Discovered Buffalo Wild Wings in Canada...it's been here since September, we are so uninformed!

Beers on ice!

Jackets & Sneaks I packed...they didn't see the light of day due to the hot weather.

Night game in Ottawa (the manpanion is the catcher)

Accessories galore.

My lifesaver loafers, ideal for lots of walking :)
