| Skirt, Shoes & Necklace- Thrifted; Jacket- Gifted (from my Mum); Top- Spoof (Boutique in Toronto); Nail Polish- Storm by Joe Fresh |
After yesterday's aggravations, the mood gods took pity on me and gave me a happy day. Sure, I still worked longer hours than I would have liked to and I had to skip my workout because e-mails were calling my name but here are some of the things that made me smile today:
- Mr. Marley has really embraced the outdoors (after 7 years of being indoor only) and after getting micro-chipped and collared he is now foot loose and fancy free and will prowl the neighbourhood for hours on end, only returning home for food (and I like to think cuddles as well!)
- My man and I spent date night at a vegan cooking class entitled Let Food be thy Medicine (through Credible Edibles), and made roasted broccoli with Brazil nut pesto, 'cream' of mushroom soup, sunflower seed and pinto been loaf & red velvet cake made from beets, apple sauce and cocoa. Mmm Mmm!
-Upon noticing my sock bun, one of the cooking class participants asked if I was Tinfoil Tiaras because she recognized the hairstyle from my twitter account and says she follows along and has made note of different restaurants I tweet about (how cool is that!)
- And drumroll please... thanks to all your support I am a finalist for the Place d'Orleans vlogger search!!! I will be participating in the live shop off and haul video on Sunday where they'll provide us with $200 in mall gift cards and we'll have 3 hours to shop the stores and then share our finds. The vlogger winner will be announced at this time, wish me luck!
Today I'm linking up to Coffee & Cardigan's Thrifter Thursday My abstract dotted skirt is a find that I thrifted for $2 at a Salvation Army sale and I embellished these second-hand shoes by hot-gluing vintage earrings to them!
CUTE CAT! And shoes, and necklace! And also through a technicality, I will also be there on Sunday! See you then!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in this outfit. What a fun skirt! I need to try that sock bun look. I've seen tutorials on it, but haven't made an attempt. Your kitty is adorable :)
ReplyDeletewow, so many exciting news at once! I'm happy for you and I wish you all the luck of course.
ReplyDeletebtw, again I noticed how big your cat looks! is he actually heavy or I'm simply seeing things that aren't there, haha?
btw, great outfit! very classy and spicy!

Best of luck in the contest! You will kick butt :) Mr. Marley is too cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm torn. I don't know which I envy the most: your attractive fashion sense, your delicious culinary adventure, your newly-confirmed celebrity or your exciting competition success. Oh well, I guess I'll just envy all of them!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I am so exciting to hear that the week turned around for you! Getting recognized by a reader, making it into the top ten in the Vlogger contest, and enjoying some awesome food with the boy? Sounds like a good way to end the week. Congratulations! Loving the abstract skirt and bright jacket! Hope you guys have a happy weekend!

Oh Emily you are so crafy with your DIY shoes. That skirt is so fun and a total steal for a toonie. Way to go. I love how the print plays off the buttons on your jacket, which is a piece I think I've raved about before. I can picture the print on the skirt as a set of dinner plates (which I would want to own)...can you?
ReplyDeleteOh my that vegan cooking class sounds amazing! Love reading about your happy days. I think you just might be celebrity status now, lol Love the outfit, have a great weekend dear. xx /Madison
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit! Happy weekend! :)

that jacket is wonderful! I am jealous of wherever you are that you have cute jacket weather! also, I am mentally taking note of that vintage earring hint, that's a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteYour mom is an awesome gift giver.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see your competition haul - good luck!
I'm trying really hard to keep six-month kitten Sasha Jane inside (bonus from my blogger meetup with Megan Mae); she doesn't seem to mind so far.
Best of luck Emily! Terrific outfit. It's striking on you. Hooray for new recipes, & cat adventures. :)
