Dirty Laundry

Hey lovelies!  We are changing things up today on the blog with a lifestyle post--hope you enjoy!  While I was on a leave from the blog, I took a spontaneous trip to visit one of my best girlfriend's in Kelowna, BC.  Growing up, Kelowna was somewhat of a second home to me as my grandparents lived there.  We often spent a lot of time there during the summer and winter months.  If you've never been, I'd highly recommend visiting.  It's an extremely breathtaking city with a nice relaxed vibe.  There are a lot of great things to do there from water sports to shopping to skiing in the mountains to golfing to some extremely tasty dining.  One of my favourite things to do there is visit the beautiful wineries.  Fortunately, my girlfriend Victoria took me out to the beautiful Dirty Laundry Vineyard in Summerland (a short drive from Kelowna) for some wine tasting and some breathtaking views.  This winery has quite the background story -- an entrepreneur of the early 1900's decided to start up a laundry matt which was also secretly a brothel. That's how the winery got it's name & theme. If you're ever in the area, I would definitely recommend checking out this winery.  With it's corky theme it sets itself out from the others.  Here are a few snaps Victoria and I took while visiting the winery.

Have a fabulous weekend,

Layered Up

There's nothing I love more then going on an adventure, whether is around the city I live in or someplace I'm vacationing, it's always so much fun to experience my surroundings.  The other day a girlfriend and I decide to check out some vintage shops here in Toronto.  Finding a really cool piece of something vintage is always so exciting to me!
I've been layering my wardrobe quite a bit lately because the Toronto weather has been pretty unpredictable, even the weatherman can't get it right.  It's definitely better to have more layers then not enough when it comes to hot sun, rain and wind.  Sheer layers have to be my favourite part of this outfit and any summer layering for that fact--get ready to see more of them throughout the summer months.

Wearing: Leggings similar here, Top borrowed, Bracelets made by me, Scarf similar here, Rings vintage, Sunnies [Forever 21], Earrings [Alexandra Jewellery] c/o.

Bundle Up!

Toronto! Why are you SO cold right now?  It's seriously SO FREEZING cold here.   It's been a challenge for me to find a good time to shoot pictures outdoors this week due to our cold spell.  So, this equals me in many warm layers, including this fab faux fur vest I got for Christmas, and obviously a warm parka, which is not pictured.  When it's cold like this, you can't help but dream of Spring temps and Spring colours, which led me to wearing this pop of hot pink--my favourite!
What are you up to this weekend?  Whatever you do, I hope you stay warm--you better BUNDLE UP!

Wearing: Faux Fur Vest gifted, Shirt old, similar, Jeans [American Eagle] similar, Lip Pendant [Forever 21], Crystal Necklace [J. Crew], Rings [Aldo Accessories], Boots [The Bay] similar.
