So Much Thanks

One of my absolute favourite colour combos ever - black, white, and red! My room was this colour scheme in junior high!

This was what I wore to a recent work conference. The first day of a conference, I tend to go with the pulled together "smart" look... aaaand day two is usually jeans. Guess which day this was?

Details

Blazer: Ann Taylor

Shirt: Old Navy

Bag and Booties: c/o Nine West

Skirt: Club Monaco

Sunnies: Coach

Whenever I'm in Truro I try to stop at Jimolly's for a London Fog and some bakery treats. I swear a good London Fog will put me into a happy trance-like state.

This is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada! I have so much to be thankful for this year (and every year really). I've had great opportunities to hang out with friends and family lately (showers and bachelorettes galore), and I know the next few weeks will be full of love with our wedding only two short weeks away. Half the fun is the anticipation, so I'm in a really happy place right now! Not to say that it isn't stressful (especially when you throw in the dramatics of building a house)! Deep breaths...

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I'll be back next week!

Shades of Grey

Instead of Fifty Shades of Grey (which I haven't read, by the way), I'll show you four or five.

Longdistanceloving asked us to create a monochromatic inspired outfit. Braving the rain and wind, I recruited my loyal friend Joey and we went behind the train station (sounds sketchy, eh?).

 Details:

Top: Lucky Brand (Toronto)

Skirt: Gap (Halifax)

Boots: Call it Spring (Halifax)

Socks: old and unknown

Bracelet: random shop in St John's

Scarf: Le Chateau (Halifax)

Hat: Element (the late Margolians, Truro)

Before heading out for the blustery photo session, we enjoyed some yummy food and hot drinks at Jimolly's, a fantastic cafe owned by a few of my childhood friends. Check it out on Inglis Street in Truro, Nova Scotia. I had a London Fog and it tasted like hot vanilla ice cream.... soooo good. They serve baked goods from Brookfield Bakery as well. Try the whoopie pies - they were always my choice when raiding the bakery after hours as a kid (it didn't happen often- wink, wink).
