September was the worst month of the year, as we lost Marco's father.  I talk a bit more about it here, but wanted to share that right away before getting into a few happier moments that were had before that.
 
We celebrated our anniversary in Montebello at the beginning of the month, which was really special.  We stayed overnight, had massages and a great dinner.
 
We watched our close friends get married and danced the night away (remember the engagement party, bridal shower & bachelorette?), I tried out Pure Kitchen with a friend (#yum) and met up with my out-of-town cousins for dinner one evening.  I shared a video on what shoes to wear with flares, worked out and cheered on the Jays.

O U T F I T  D E E T S :  PLAID TOP  |  URBAN PLANET BLACK SKINNIES (LOVE THESE)  |  HEELS  |  BAG  |  SUNNIES

Plaid is everywhere for Fall and it's the one pattern you need to jump on board with.  I'll admit, this isn't my usual go-to, and it feels a little more cowgirl than I tend towards but I love how the fabric is soft and flowy and the variety of colours this year!  I was drawn to a red one below but once I tried on the blue, it was a done deal.  It reminds me of this much pricier version.

To rock the plaid, try pairing it with some skinnies or boyfriend jeans, but pair with heels to keep the look chic.  I could also see this tucked into a pencil skirt with the tails out at the back for a playful, office look.  To dress it down, my girl friend ties hers around her waist with leggings & a muscle tee, throw on some sneakers & you're out the door.  





Hi ladies--happy Monday.

We are finally back in town after being away for a week for Marco's Dad's passing.  The weekend was very busy, but not very photo worthy and obviously lots of sad moments.  We did, however, have a beautiful celebration of his life and so many friends and family came to support us and share their love and stories.

Thank you all for your messages, tweets, comments and more during this time.  Your support is so appreciated.




We had several of our friends come down for the service, which was so wonderful.  Seeing those faces was really special.  We actually had an hour afterwards, for the first time in a week, to go and grab a drink with them before they headed back home too.  We sat on a patio, on the water in Kingston, and it was a really nice, brief, distraction.




Hope you all had a great weekend, thank you again for the kind words and virtual hugs and I'll see you tomorrow with a new outfit post!

Cheers xo

O U T F I T  D E E T S :  DYNAMITE SWEATER (SIMILAR)  |  SCARF  |  ZARA DENIM (UNDER $50, UNDER $100, SPLURGE)  |  SNEAKERS  |  MAT & NAT BAG (SIMILAR)  |  JOE FRESH LUGGAGE TAG (SIMILAR, SPLURGE)  |  SUNGLASSES

When I'm traveling, comfort is key and while I want to look somewhat put together, sneakers are always a given.  

These are my second pair of Pumas (the first pair I ruined during the trip to Italy back in April) and they are by far the comfiest tennis shoe I own.  I seem to be turning to them--and sneakers in general--not just for travel, but on the weekends for running errands and casual get togethers with friends.  As long as they are fresh (ie. clean), you can pretty much style them with anything and get away with it right now.

To up the chic-factor, I like to add an oversized scarf which pulls double duty as a blanket if it gets too cold, and works as a stylish third-piece to outfits during your trip.  If you're going to go denim, tons of stretch is key, minimal jewelry and lose the socks to earn cool-girl points.


Hi ladies, I know I've been MIA this week, and didn't get the Friday Finds up last week, but it's due to some terribly sad news.  Marco's Dad passed away suddenly and we've been out of town all week.  It was a total shock and we are completely devastated.  He was taken from us far too young and our hearts are broken.  While I did bring my computer with me, I couldn't bring myself to write anything, until now.

I wasn't sure how to bring it up here, but didn't want to not share it as I consider you my friends.  I've been doing my best to stay in touch via social media, but blogging was something my heart just couldn't get into this week.  That said, I thought today would be the best way to share the sad news, but also spread a tiny bit of happiness with some fun links around the web.

Thanks for your understanding & hope you have a great weekend.
