Hi ladies, hope my American friends had a great Memorial Day long weekend and hope it was a great weekend for everyone else. Apologies on the delay for the Weekend Snaps--this weekend seriously zapped me of energy and I think I need a weekend to recover from my weekend! Sheesh. With that, onto the Snaps!
On Friday evening, I had full intentions of going to the gym, but after several hours of (successful) shopping, I wanted to just head home and unwind.
I went to the mall & also the outlets and grabbed a few new pieces which I'll share in my upcoming Spring/Summer Haul (just waiting on a couple items to get delivered!).

LACE UP FLATS -- ON SALE!
TGIF! Who's excited for the weekend? We are heading to Toronto for something exciting so follow along on Snap to see it play out (I hope!) -- I'm acoest1984.
Hope you have a great one and here are some fun links from around the web to kick it off...
Man perms are a thing. #braceyourselves
And lastly, Uber Eats just came to Ottawa, and we have no-joke ordered it four times in the last two weeks! #ramenfix That said, here's $10 off.

O U T F I T D E T A I L S : F21 BLACK DRESS (SIMILAR) | SKIRT (WORN BACKWARDS) | PEEP-TOE BOOTIES (BUDGET FRIENDLY) | H&M CHOKER (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS)
I'm a sucker for neutrals, and black is one colour I'm not willing to give up despite the temperatures rising. I love Summer-izing my black pieces and it's the perfect time to show a little skin and also keep things edgy.
I've had this flowy shift dress for a year and while the tail is long, the front is a little on the short side for me, so I always pair it with a body-con style skirt underneath for a bit more coverage. Depending on where I'm going, I can pull the skirt down to offer more coverage, or up like here for a night out.
The key to making your black pieces work for Summer is to keep the fabrics lighter--think crochet, linen, chiffon & lace--and looser and show a little leg or bare the shoulders, etc. Work with the warm weather, not against it.
April was a busy month for travel and work and so better than late than never, here's what went down...
At the beginning of the month, I did a morning segment on CTV Live for the first time--I was so nervous, but it went well, and I presented some Spring trends and shared an upcoming event that I was hosting at the mall I work with. A couple weeks later, I styled and hosted the shoe fashion show that took place.
I shared a crochet crop top with high-waisted denim (did you see the super similar option I posted on the A.Co FB page last week? Such a great price and comes in black too), a 70's inspired look with flared denim and a DIY off-the-shoulder top (love that post).
I picked up some new heels, which I've been wearing a ton, shared my must-have shoe for Summer and Marco and I took a weekend trip to Toronto where we took in a Raptors game and Jays game.
I shared a look on how to style a long-line vest in a more casual way, a video tutorial on how to use Snapchat & celebrated my Grandfather's 89th birthday!
Finally, Marco and I were able to take a trip to Cancun for a week doing literally nothing, which was totally needed. You can see a full recap of our trip + all the outfits I wore and details.
Happy Monday ladies! I'm still in weekend mode, with it being a holiday in Canada, but I know a lot of you don't have a long weekend until this one coming up, so wanted to get the Weekend Snaps up today.
I shared this photo on the A.Co Facebook page on Friday with the details to the kimono. I just scooped it up and wanted to share the link while it is still available. I often share that sort of thing there, and always share different things on each social media channel, so follow along if you'd like.
