Hi everyone!  How are you?!

Here's a look at what I wore to work last week.  Apologies for the lighting in a few photos!  The sun has been coming in at more of a direct angle now that it is rising later, and I (obviously) haven't yet adjusted my timing to avoid it.  I would say I would do it next week, but this will be my last post for about a month!  We are going to Bali next week and won't be back until mid-October.  After that I'll have a week of outfits which I'll blog about around Oct. 21st or so.  I might be able to get my Monthly Outfit Roundup for September in while we are away though ... we'll see!

This weekend we are getting ready for our trip - packing and making sure we have everything we need!  I need to figure out what I need to pack and a few wedding-related outfits. My shoes for the wedding finally arrived yesterday(!) so now I have to hem the maxi dress I'm going to wear to the correct length!  I don't have a sewing machine (although I do know how to sew - thanks Mum!) but I do have hemming tape (you use an iron) which hopefully will work.  I haven't tried the hemming tape on clothes before so fingers crossed!  Originally I was going to wear this dress from Aritzia (which I still love and think is really pretty) but then I was on the Forever 21 website looking for a few fun summery dresses for Bali and saw this dress back in stock (it's since sold out).  I had seen this dress at the beginning of summer and just thought it was so pretty, but decided I didn't really need it so didn't order it.  When it was back in stock a few weeks ago I thought I would just order it to try and it seemed perfect for Bali.  At this point I wasn't even thinking I was going to wear it to the wedding!  But then it arrived and I tried it on and it's just too pretty and perfect for a Bali wedding!  I have to wear it!  LOL  I also ordered this dress for welcome drinks and this dress for the tropical-themed stagette (bachelorette) party.

Well, that's it for now - I better get packing!  I hope you all have a great weekend and next couple of weeks!  Be sure to follow me on Insta while I'm in Bali!!!

Hi everyone!  Happy Saturday!  Here's a look at what I wore to work last week.

Nothing I'm wearing here is new, the newest thing is probably these suede scalloped flats from Town Shoes that I purchased in May.  They are so pretty but the soles are really thin so they aren't that great for walking around in; I don't see them lasting that long :(.  Despite that, I still want to buy them in the fuschia colour! LOL . 

I haven't worn these faux-suede booties from Old Navy since the Spring but they are a nice way to transition a dress from summer to fall I think.  I want to buy them in the new taupe colour, and black too!  They fit TTS in my opinion and I just wear a little sockette with them, not a full thick ankle sock.

Everyone keeps asking me about Fall shopping and while I am doing a lot of looking online, I really haven't pulled the trigger on anything.  We are going to Bali in two weeks (!!) so I am just not in the Fall mindset yet.  Though I know once we get back it will really be Fall and then I'll be wishing I'd bought tights and sweaters in advance!!

I am really crushing on some of the J.Crew New Arrivals.  This houndstooth skirt and these drapey pants, this striped t-shirt, this mockneck sweater in stripe and cream, and this bell-sleeve sweater with ties are all calling my name!  Also, this velvet bow hair tie is so Gal Meets Glam and I love it! (She is everything).

I am also looking for a pair of mules that don't look stupid on me, a rain jacket (boring), a winter parka (also boring), possibly a winter coat in camel or light grey (probably this one), long sleeve blouses and sweaters, and a thick cream or ivory coloured long cardigan that is cozy but not oversized and doesn't shed!

What's on your Fall shopping list??

Hi everyone!

Here's a look at what I wore to work in the first week of September!

The weather was a bit all over the place this week; smoky and humid for most of the week and then the rain started yesterday.  We need the rain so I am grateful for that but I am not ready for summer to be over!

This week I had my Nexus interview and was approved, so I'll get my card in the mail in about 2 weeks!  I also went to the Gordon Smith and Kim Dorland exhibition openings at Equinox Gallery with a couple of colleagues and it was great!  Super busy!  But I really enjoyed the art (Gordon Smith more so) and that's the main thing.

We have absolutely zero plans for this weekend which I can't say I'm mad about.  Last night we opened a bottle of wine from our last Okanagan trip (Mur-Fi's Red from Platinum Bench), made spaghetti for dinner,  and watched The Big Sick.

Today I think I might go to hot yoga (I really wanted to go yesterday but there weren't any with good timing after work), and return the sandals I bought last weekend to The Bay.  I also need to get some new luggage for our trip to Bali (my current carry-on has a broken wheel).

Other than that, I'm not really sure!  We need to plan the second part of our Bali trip, and I could start planning our kitchen reno (!!).  I already know how I want the kitchen to look, the finishes etc. but we need to do all the measurements!
