Sweater Weather- The Perfect Fall Sweater

 Well the last few nights have definitely been a brisk reminder that it's that time of year- sweater weather!

Rain Rain Go Away!

All of this rainy and cloudy weather is really starting to get me depressed! So what better day to wear all black! We're missing out on days to the cottage and relaxing in our pool but on the positive side we've been getting lots of errands done lol!

I'm still having fun and enjoying summer but it would really be nice to get to the beach! We haven't been there once yet and I'm really looking forward to Carter's first time at the beach! I can't wait to see how he reacts to feeling the sand for the first time.

Too bad we can't give all of this rain to California! They could definitely use it! Hopefully we get some sun soon but looks like we're going to have to start swimming in the rain!

Pops Of Pink

There is something so girly and lovely about lace dresses. When I was pregnant I really wanted one just like this to wear to my baby shower but I couldn't find one.

I stumbled across this one as clearance at Forever 21 the other day and it was exactly what I was looking for last year! I love it, I think it's so beautiful!

It may need to be taken in a bit but I might leave it in hopes that the next time I'm pregnant it fits lol!

I think the pops of the pink accessories really add some more girly hints to this look and just make it look so much more glam, all while the Louboutin booties make it a little more chic!

50's Glam

How friggin gorgeous is this dress?! It reminds me of a 50's housewife dress. I love it so much! The colors are just so fun and bright and I love how puffy the skirt is! I feel so glamorous and girly in this dress, I feel like a vintage Barbie lol :)

What better place to wear it than the colorful Eastern Passage Boardwalk?! I love it there! The little shops are so cute and fun! Definitely one of my favorite spots in Nova Scotia.

The Lazy Girl's Guide to Looking Fab in 15 Minutes!

Today was such a beautiful day! I really didn't want to do anything except lay in the pool all day with Kyle and Carter! I really had to kick myself in the butt to get moving and get ready.

Here are my tips for looking fab when you are in a rush or just being lazy!

1. Dry Shampoo- This is probably every girls best friend! All I did to my hair today was spray it with some Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo (smells delish, you can even skip perfume and just go with this!). Dry shampoo is the perfect way to skip washing your hair for a few days and keeping that gorgeous style for just a little longer!

2. Updo or Braid- A beautiful bun or a quick little side braid can really do wonders for any outfit! I rarely braid my hair since I'm not very good at them but I'm starting to learn, so I decided to do a basic braid today. So so easy and so damn quick! I think it turned out pretty nicely.

3. Floppy hat or a Fedora- If you really don't have much time, a hat can make a huge difference. Especially if you're having a bad hair day! Fedoras go with pretty much any outfit!

4. A Jumpsuit/Romper- I've said it before and I'll say it again. There really isn't anything easier than a jumpsuit or a romper! One piece, thrown it on and no need to worry about matching! I find jumpsuits just look so classy and glam and you can wear them with pretty much any shoe and even pretty sandals!

5. A pretty pair of shoes- Heels ALWAYS take an outfit up a notch! Even a cheap pair like the ones I'm wearing can really make an outfit look so much more put together. These were only $19 from Wal-Mart. You can't really see the details but they are like a snake-skin and they have a wide ankle strap. And they're surprisingly very comfy!

6. BB Cream, Brows, and Lashes!- Sometimes I just really hate wearing make-up and if I'm in a rush I'll just slap on some BB cream to cover any blotchiness or blemishes. I always fill in my eyebrows! Even having just your brows done really makes a huge difference. And last but not least, a few coats of mascara. If I'm not feeling like mascara #7 is definitely my go to...

7. A great pair of Sunglases- Especially a pair like these Dior ones that cover half of your face lol! Today was one of those days were I wasn't feeling mascara, so I just grabbed these babies and away I went!

8. Accessories- Grab a few bracelets, necklace, and some earrings (if your ears aren't showing, don't bother!) and your look is complete with easy added style!

9. Lipgloss/Lipstick- Throw on a little lip gloss or some lipstick for some added color.

10. A beautiful Smile!- Last but not least! A beautiful smile and you are ready to rule the world!

Get it girl ;)!

Gloomy Days and Chemical Reactions!

Today was such a gloomy day it was perfect to get some errands done! I'm obsessed with anything that has a mustache on it and when I found this sweater last year I fell in love with it! I completely forgot about it and just found it the other night while cleaning out my closet!

I don't know if you guys remember me telling you about how I wanted to open my own nail salon and take a nail course. Anyway, I gave up on that idea but have been doing (ok, trying to do) my own acrylic nails at home.

Well tonight I just kept making a huge mess and spilled a bottle of nail glue all over my desk. I grabbed a piece of paper towel to clean it up and started "soaking it up"....

Next thing you know it started getting super hot and burning my fingers so I dropped it. Then it started smoking. OMFG I freaked out and ran to the bathroom next door and threw it in the toilet! It was crazy! Thank god nothing happened but it was definitely very scary. Geez, I have all these acrylic powders and liquid chemicals everywhere, it could have been really bad!

Anyway after that crazy s&*t I decided to throw out all that nail stuff I ordered from ebay lol and stick to a professional! Not to mention, my beautiful new glass top office desk is royally f*&^ked!

And ladies, that's why you should always treat yourself to getting your nails done at the salon!

Halifax Food Truck Party

Man, who doesn't freakin love food trucks?! Seriously, anytime I see a food truck I NEED to go and get something. When a friend posted on facebook about this party tonight, we just had to go!

It was mayhem! The lines were insane. A few spots weren't too bad but we waited in line for tacos for an hour. Oh my god. They were so worth it! My fish taco had some pineapple sauce, it was so amazingly delicious.....man I want another one soooo bad!

We had the best damn grilled cheese, delicious gourmet mac and cheese (they had pulled pork, brisket, and traditional), and some waffles on a stick, yummm. 

We showed up an hour before they closed so a lot of the trucks were sold out. We missed out on some really good ones unfortunately but at least we can check their usual schedule and go try them!

(Sorry for the blurry pic but this was the greatest fish taco ever!)

Flower Power!

There is nothing prettier than when all the flowers are in full bloom. We have a huge rhododendron bush in the front of our house that I have been cutting and trimming for the last year. It's such a beautiful plant but it is HUGE! I'm debating on cutting the whole thing and just landscaping with some little hostas and mulch but the flowers are just so pretty, I'm afraid I might miss them!

Carter is 8 months old today! I can't believe in just 4 months I have to go back to work :(. I'm absolutely heartbroken! I wish I could stay home with him everyday! It's just insane how much has changed since last month! He is now just crawling (I guess more like dragging himself lol) all over the place! He somewhat feeds himself with his spoon and eats little Baby Mum Mum cookies. And does he ever love Bentley! Lol he must think she's a fluffy little lion. He just goes crazy for her! He likes the Precious our Chihuahua too but he just adores our little crazy Pom.

I went and picked up some more beautiful peonies the florist ordered in for me :). They're are seriously the most beautiful flower! And I love the smell! Kyle thinks they smell kind of minty. I'm not sure what they smell like lol, just fresh I guess! I think I'm going to get some bulbs and try to plant some.... not that I will have any luck with it anyway. My 3 rhodos I tried to plant in the back yard bloomed for a couple days and now they look completely dead....I don't know what I did wrong!

My outfit for the day was perfect for today's whole "floral theme"! It was so bright and fun, and super girly!
