Pants- Gap; Blazer, Blouse, Shoes & Belt- Thrifted; Yellow Ring & Necklace- Smart Set; Flower Ring- Hawaii; Headpiece- Blue Eyes Bridal; Nail Polish- Ah-a! Moment by Sephora OPI
No Emily-time or relaxation this weekend, it was pure housework.  Cleaning, packing, purging, home repairs and more cleaning.  My man and I have outgrown our 1 bedroom condo so we are putting it on the market next week and have bought a 3 bedroom house! The home inspection is tomorrow so I don't want to jinx it but I couldn't wait any longer to share the news! I will share photos once it's 'official' but there's a lofty space which will be used as my walk-in closet room, enough said!

I found these loafers at my local thrift store for $9.99 and couldn't resist.  Besides the colour explosion, they are also the most comfortable things I have ever worn (which after last week's breaking in shoes & blister pain, is much welcome!)



I feel like a Real Housewife of Ottawa, ready to tackle the household chores while wearing my (faux) pearls, flower sock bun & preppy ensemble! Now all I need is a mini van (although I much prefer my Audi) & 2 kids (do cats count?)

  23. Congrats on the house! Woo! Also I lovelovelove your loafers. I used to have a white pair that I eventually gave up. I wish I hadn't. they were the most comfortable things ever and could have totally be 'upcycled' into something more colorful!

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
