Outfit deets:  Smart Set top, H&M denim & Liliana wedges.
I share my casual Friday outfit on my Facebook page.  I love taking advantage of wearing jeans on Fridays but my real faves are distressed denim (which I save for weekends).

After work on Friday I hit the gym and did triceps, then rushed home to meet up with Marco who had the day off.


We went out for Vietnamese food--my fave--at Pho Thi, which was a first for a Friday night (it's usually such a casual dinner that we grab it during the week, if anything).  

I decided to dress down with...

My friend Melissa has been super gracious to stay at our place while we've travelled to Punta Cana and Las Vegas recently, and so instead of having her over for dinner to thank her, this time we decided to go out.

I have been to El Camino many times, it's safe to say it's in my top five, but it was still on her bucket list.  So, off we went to chow down on tacos and amazing deep fried goodness.

The hipster taco bar is located in downtown Ottawa and has quickly gained popularity for it's phenomenal tacos and fresh made margaritas.  The wait time is often over an hour, but worth it in my opinion, to at least try it.  Since we were meeting after work, we didn't have to wait but despite it being only 5:30pm on a Thursday, the place was already buzzing.


We sat down and got straight to business both ordering our fave local organic beer (Mill St).  I love me some tequila but it's hard to beat tacos and beer for me.

I vlogged this past weekend so thought I would share what I got up to.  In this video I lose my phone, show you our new couch and meet up with Sarah (and her lil' babe) for brunch.
 
As always, thanks for watching! xo

Happy Canada Day everyone!  Today we celebrate Canada's 147th birthday.

This morning, after a minor sleep in, I hit the gym and then made breakfast for Marco and I.  He's been working a little bit this afternoon while I have done some cleaning around the condo and made a salad for the BBQ we are attending shortly.  It's a beautiful day here, with some crazy humidity so minimal clothing that's comfy is key.

If you're in Canada, hope you're having a wonderful day & sporting your #redandwhite.  Cheers!

 
Holy smokes, here comes July!  Doesn't it seem like every month we all claim, 'OMG, can you believe it's (insert month here) already?!'  It's hard to believe the longest day of the year has come and gone but summer is just kicking off (thankfully, because we had one helluva long winter here in Ottawa!).
 
In June I shared the finished (ish) result of my closet - office room.  Marco did an amazing job building a beautiful space for me and I will film a video tour in the coming weeks (aka, as soon as I clean up all my clothes off the floor).
 
I kicked off the month with a week-long trip to Vegas where temperatures soared above 100F; I did a ton of walking, some shopping and plenty of eating.  I shared what I packed, a Vegas Photo Diary, and some snapshots via Instagram
 
When we got back, my Dad had generously spent two days polishing my car for me--something I did on my last car when I first bought it, which took me six hours straight.   He knew how much I was dreading doing it again, but I seriously owe him huge and am so thankful.
 
The following weekend Marco and I popped down to New York state for the day to do some shopping and pick up my new Iro shoes (ordered online in Vegas after trying on the sand suede version).  I also grabbed a few make-up items from Walmart and to recap am really loving that Neutrogena lip gloss (in #40 Gleam).
 
I shared my pretty-basic skincare routine, rocked some full length overalls and attended the wedding of a good friend (where Marco played the bride down the aisle with his guitar!).  We got our new couch that we had been waiting four months for, I sold my old furniture, worked out almost every day and tried out the slouchy pant trend (spoiler: I'm converted!).
