Wind In The Willows

This past week had me feeling like I was a character from The Wind in the Willows. Alternately fast paced and slow moving; I find myself dashing out of the door to make it to class, only to realize that my clock packed up and I'm an eager beaver who is way too early. I'm eating like a king one day and a pauper the next simply because I don't have enough time to snag something up. With the weather fluctuating between extremely cold to warm and sunny, I'm power walking to get home and get excited over the fact that my heart isn't beating out of my chest; only to end up a couch potato catching up on all my favourite shows a few hours later.       

Today has shaped up rather nicely. With the weather warm enough to not necessarily require a jacket, I've been able to spend some quiet time in conversation, share some meals and unwind with good music. I was even able to squeeze in a few hours at the salon. I'm so thankful for weekends!

Hope you are all having a nice weekend so far. Take care!  

A huge thank you to Monique from Tipa Tipa for the Stylish Blogger Award! :)

Emerald

I've been on a little bit of a hiatus. Not to be a debby downer, but it dawned on me that we are halfway through August, which means summer is slowly coming to an end. As such, I spent most of my time attempting to squeeze in as many "summer activities" as I can while catching up with my father and laughing endlessly with both him and my sister. A refreshing and welcomed after long hours spent at work.

I saw this dress at I Miss You Vintage, and knew immediately that I had to have it. The colour alone was enough to sell me, and I could envision it with simple black and gold accents. What's not to love about a vibrant emerald green that brightens the dreariest of days? Also love the structured shoulders, faux pockets, mid-length skirt and silk material. No effort required here in looking put together.

Photobucket says I've gone over my bandwidth limit. Is there ever such a thing?! Should be back on track tomorrow they say *fingers crossed*

Nothing like sushi on a nice patio to start off the weekend. Hope you're all having the most pleasant week.

Bisous,
