Finally got to sit down and edit videos from both my New York and Toronto trip last January. These are way overdue, obviously but I'm slowly getting used to doing these videos. Maybe, I might incorporate these more in future posts (especially that the weather is finally getting nicer out). Hope you enjoy!

- a short post, an ootd and a life update -

The mural here is by the talented people of Synonym Art Consultation which is a local arts initiative bringing together talented artists of Winnipeg to collaborate and design public spaces. 

Here's a more recent ootd from this season wearing a Uniqlo top, Only faux fur vest, Hollister jeans, Lifestride boots and Givenchy bag.

Since getting married, life has had its way of making me even busier. Work has been hectic with the year-end deadlines. Moving to a new place required some adjusting in terms of doing chores and establishing routines. And we all know with the holidays just around the corner, things are going to get a little bit crazier. 2016 has been packed! Needless to say, I have been juggling a couple of things and trying my best to keep organized that the blogging has taken a step back. However, good news is I'm travelling to Toronto in January and I'm taking suggestions on what to do, see and eat. Comment below if you've been to Toronto or currently live there.

For my 400th post, I'd like to share some snippets of how summer has been going for me. Most of this came from this season's blog posts and adventures, so I hope you enjoy this little video I made.

With the new role I have at work and the ongoing wedding preparations, it's been such a busy summer for me. I wanted to write this post to say that I'm taking a bit of a break in the blog to focus on those things. I will definitely be back here after that hecticness, but for now, you can follow me on my Instagram (as I'll remain active there!). I hope everyone has a great summer. 

See you later, lovelies!

Let me preface by saying that the ootd pictures and brunch spread didn't happen in one day. My friends and I were supposed to have an outdoor picnic at the park a few days ago; But, the rain got the best of us and we ended up setting this indoors. I think we were still able to pull it off, yes?

For those interested, here's a list of what we served:

- Baguette and Fruit salad from our local grocery -

- Quiche & Bacon-wrapped Asparagus made by Erika - 

- Beet chips & Grape Meringue from Chew/The Store Next Door -

- Maple & Sour Cherry tarts and Eclairs from La Belle Baguette - 

- Cantaloupe & Milk juice made by yours truly - 

After the hearty brunch, we ended up cozying in front of the television and finishing the entire season of Stranger Things on Netflix. Tell me you've seen it too! I'm totally hooked!
