LAST #OOTD in May

Wow, what a month.

Everyday in May outfit of the day was probably one of the coolest things that I have ‘had’ to do lately.  I really, really enjoyed it.  It made me feel accountable for what I was putting on my body daily because it forced me to think about what I was wearing rather than just throwing something on (like leggings or sweats).  I’m proud of the fact that I never once reverted to lulus which I have been known to do, and I also really appreciate the fact that I didn’t post something that was ‘un-authentic’. Don't get me wrong, I'll be doing leggings or lulus in the very near future, but it was nice to actually CARE about my clothing and what I was wearing for an entire month, every single day. 

We’re travelling again to Las Vegas this weekend which means that I need to pack (ugh_).  It’s tricky having a blog and intsa account but I really do love doing it and this month (to date) has the largest amount of ‘hits’ and ‘pageviews’ ever which means that at least I’m pleasing a few of my momma friends (and others) out there with these posts.  Not that it matters, but it is nice to see some growth for some of the ‘work’. 

It's very freeing to be able to talk and be creative and have fun.  I found myself saying that to my daughter yesterday when she was worried about being stressed to get to nursery school on time.  I said to her:

 "it’s ok if we’re running  a little late cause in life we are meant to be having FUN!  That’s what its all about".  

No financials, no sponsorships, no likes, no follows, no page hits, no views, just enjoying the moment.  Enjoying each other.  Less stress, less hardships.  We need to chill.  ALL of us.  So chill.  CHILL FRIENDS and enjoy the life you were given.  

Love you, thinking of you, thank you so much for all of the love and support over this month of clothes and see you soon.

Everyday in May OOTD #30

 Today’s look is just comfy and casual.  We’re back into the school run with errands and shopping in the middle followed by playdates and then dinner.  Our weekend was jam packed so I’m happy to say this Monday isn’t going to be too nuts.  

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!  See you tomorrow for my LAST OOTD Everyday in May!

Everyday in May #29

 Today we’re going back to my parents house for some more birthday party celebrations.  I’m wearing head to toe Vicidolls because (I’m clearly obsessed with them), but also because these three pieces are casual, dressy and totally comfy which is exactly what I need on this Sunday.  Hope you have a great day!

Little Red Dress

 Funny enough, this is actually my third outfit of the day.  I wore casual cozy Saturday clothes this morning to do chores, then I changed to a cute middle of the day outfit for a matinee that I attended and then this is what I wore to my Dad’s birthday party tonight. 

It’s a super simple piece from Zara that I just love and it was cheaper than the organic pre-made dinners that we have purchased in the past.  I feel really classy in it cause it’s high in the front but then interesting in the back, and I LOVE the colour.  Need more red in my wardrobe.

Anywho, hope everyone had a great Saturday night!  XO

Teaching Dance (and eating sushi) #OOTD 27

Baby boy wanted to be a part of the pics again.  I'm thinking I might have to do a 'what-my-kids-wore month' soon.... hmmmmmmm.  Thoughts?  Would you guys WANT to see something like that?

This is what I look like AFTER teaching four dance classes today.  Haha.  I was so happy that one of my friends was in a hoodie when we went out for sushi lunch so I didn’t feel like such a ‘scrub’ but hey - this is Calgary, not Paris so we can get away with things like this.

I’m in: 

Leather Jacket: Zara

Tee: Vicidolls

Wrap: Armani Exchange

Leggings: Zara

Sneaks: Asics

Tomorrow is my Dad’s very fancy birthday party so get ready for Kate in a dress.  I’m pumped though, cause I really like the piece.  I only have to quickly sew one up for Scarlet for tomorrow night so that will be a challenge in a way.  But still - I’ve always loved a challenge ;)  Hope you have a fantastic friday night!

Nate is laughing at me from the kitchen - and this is me pre-burst out laughing right back ;)

Relaxed denim

 Well, we’re back to reality here as you can see.  I’m in some serious boyfriend jeans and a tank to do hard core travel laundry all day long.  But guess what?  I don’t mind too much .  In fact, it’s nice to have a ‘down’ day at home were all I have to worry about is the wet laundry sitting for too long before I transfer it to the drier.  It’s good...

I’m teaching dance classes tomorrow all day and then doing a 'friends' date (with two awesome-sauce ladies and a fab boy ;).  I’m loving being back to a schedule but the truth is, I’m still thinking about that balcony view like 24/7)  If you want to get romantic… can I suggest

 a place?  DM message me.  ;)

Tank: Vicidolls

Denim: Zara

Happy Thursday kids.

Last day here :(

Its sad.  I’m sad.  All good things must come to a end.  This is my outfit on the morning of the last day that we’re here in Mexico.  I’ve converted a kimono into a morning (mourning) housecoat and sadly have shed a tear at this view that I’ll be missing for the next…well…very long time.  It's been such an incredible trip in so many ways but it's time to say goodbye. 

BUT, the happy news for our squad is that we have a trip planned for a very special BIG CITY VACAY in September!  My bro is getting married in NYC so I’m pumped to get back to the big apple.  The last time I was there I took 13 high school kids for a field trip in Feb of 2012 so it’s been a while.  Luckily they were the coolest and best teenagers I’ve ever known so my memories are all amazing and very positive.  In fact, I still keep in touch with almost all of them cause they are just so incredible.  

ANYWAYS, so yah.  Reminising a little I guess.  I’m just so thrilled and pumped to be going.  See ya back in Calgary!!!

William takes over #OOTD

SOMEBODY loves the beach almost as much as his momma!  This little cutie is taking over OOTD for me today because sheesh when you’re this adorable you just have that type of power (and I KNOW you guys are probably sick of looking at me everyday - I know I am - everyday in May is HARD!   

So I thought I’d break the rules just for one day and post Williams threads today.  Super cute, super styling’, he’s a little super dude.  

Top: HnM

Shorts: StellanCove

Fedora: The Children’s Place

(Oh - and there is probably about three layers of SPF 60 on that fair skin of his reapplied every hour I think…)

OOTD #22

By far - the hardest outfit of the day pics I’ve taken thus far.  First, I threw this outfit together in about two seconds and upon review, I think I look like a little bit like a Lady of the Night and a wanna-be Disney princess mixed together.  Ugh.  I almost didn’t post these but I did agree to everyday in may good, bad and ugly.  Then, the light kept changing on the deck and the kids just wanted my attention like nothing else as soon as they heard the camera snapping so it made it really tricky.  Haha.  Life with kids for sure.  Oh, and that wind?  It was pretty calm and then I wanted to take a few nice pics and blammo - gusts galore.  First world problems right here...

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  XO

Like I said - Lady of the night and wanna be disney Princess mixed together...

Easy breezy ootd

It’s all about comfort today.  We’re going into town as a little clan to check out a windsurfing competition and then we will eat dinner on the beach.  We’ve already had a pool swim this morning and William is just getting his afternoon nap.  Then we’ll be on the move.  Happy Saturday!
