VICTORIA DAY LONG WEEKEND

Today Monday, May 20th is Queen Victoria Day which turned this past weekend into a long weekend, having Monday off to celebrate. We have a vacation coming up in July to Vancouver, but it was time for a mini getaway here in our own backyard. We headed out to "cottage country" here in Ontario, and enjoyed the abundance of nature. 

First night we stayed in the Honeymoon Suite at the Inn At The Falls. There was a mix up with reservation so we were upgraded both nights, but stayed in different styles of rooms each night.

On the second night we stayed in a room in the Mews Building. 

Looking across the way that balcony and top peak of the Inn was where we stayed the night before. 

We ate at the Fox & Hounds restaurant that was located at the Inn At The Falls. We also ate at The Old Station, and The Griffin. 

This is the staircase in the back of the coffee shop we frequented during our stay in Bracebridge, ON.

TARGET SPRING 2013 LOOK BOOK

Recently my friend Shiori from "Editorette" tweeted about Target's Spring 2013 Look Book online to view at FLARE.com. I'm currently in the mindset of saving money for our next planned trip which is Vancouver this July! But if I need any updated staple pieces and can't break my bank, I'm going to check out one of the new Target stores opening in Canada this March.

Above and below looks: It's the blouses and skirts that caught my attention.

Above and below looks: Blouses and Patterned pants are to die for!

Above: Love this sweater and skirt combo, especially the sapphire blue colours.

Below: I don't think I would wear all three pieces together but I would definitely wear all three pieces shown here.

Below: My favourite colours and loose cuts the clothes are an update of other pieces I currently have.. But what really tops this look for me are those fabulous shoes!

PARTS OF MY SATURDAY ROUTINES

Above: Art inside Shanghai Cowgirl 

Below: Graffiti tags spotted while we were out doing errands

Above: N8 found the hottest Hugo Boss vintage inspired, wool blend blazer and naturally I encouraged him to purchase it for a sophisticated 'everyday' use blazer. I love the colour and pattern blend too.

Below: One of my bi-weekly tasks is taking special pieces of our clothing to the dry cleaners. I'm so happy I dropped off my new Malene Birger jackets they will be ready Wednesday to wear! 

Below: I went to nail salon, "manipedi" in Toronto and the best shellac manicure of my life! I chose CND Shellac colour, "Fedora" a dark-dark-dark oxblood. I'm obsessed with colours of black cherry and oxblood this year. As well as emerald green is coming back in a big way. These are my personal style remarks, I'm not trying tell anyone what to wear. Unless you ask..

I'm wearing my; "I LOVE Paris" T-shirt from Paris, Joe Fresh 100% Cashmere Cardigan, and Jason Wu x Target Scarf. Accessories not in pictures; Vanities Bracelet purchased at Collette in Paris (see below), and my new Franco Sarto Black Leather Boots.

Below: My new hair salon in Toronto, the Alcorn. I have been following my Hair Stylist, Tyler Marr for approx. 4/5 years now and last Summer he started working out of the Alcorn. It's a beautiful salon, with wonderful stylists and products. My favourite product to purchase at the Alcorn is Moroccan Oil's Curly Hair Styling Creme. My go-to curly hair styling product is AG's Curl Activator which I can only find at the Beauty Supply Outlet here.
