Pretty in Pink

Friends

As you now I was at a bridal shower this weekend. And if I do say so myself, the Bride-to-be was a great sport with all of the games we played. We had a great time at Smokeless Joe's where we spent the better part of the afternoon and evening eating and drinking : ). An excellent way to spend a Saturday if I don’t say so myself!

My dress for the bridal shower was a pale pink/nude colour. I paired it with a great wedge heel from aldo as I figured I would be in them for a long period of time. Hence the ankle support. And I think they look pretty darn cute!

What I am wearing

Dress: Marciano
Shoes: Aldo (on sale now)

Smokeless Joe's

Friends,

I am heading to Tdot this weekend (for those of you who don't know that’s Toronto for short)….I am affectionately allowed to call it the tdot, or t.dot.o as I was born and raised there (though I don’t judge if you want to call it that too :P).

I am heading down for a bridal shower. I am SUPER excited for it (and I'll be honest, I don’t really like wedding hullabaloo) but one of my best friends from high school is getting married! I mean how can you NOT be happy to share some joyous moments with a friend who taught me how to drive, who's let me crash at her place after I may have had one drink too many, She even held my hair when, at age 16, I unglamorously made her life I am sure a living hell (we will not get into details of a spring break vaycay)…

But one thing that is unbreakable is our bond. After 12 years of friendship, SK and I can call each other out of the blue or everyday and its as if no time has passed between us.

So getting back to the original reason for the post is the Bridal Shower! Its being held in this amazing little bar (Grunge (bar) meets Sex and the City (the girls all dressed up)). And to bring back even more memories SK worked there once upon a time!











They are known for their wide range and array of beers on tap (both local and international) ANDDDDD the one thing I am still allowed to eat (for now)….OYSTERS!

I am a sucker for them and can't wait to indulge (but still staying on the diet) this weekend!

Hope to post pictures from the bridal shower and my dress later on this weekend. If not when I am back on Monday.

Have a great weekend (enjoy because its going up to 20 degrees!)

Tenacious Tea

As many of you know, I am preparing for a fitness competition. With that comes many restrictions to what I can eat and drink.

One thing that I have rediscovered is Tea. Tea has been a part of my life since childhood. For many people, while alcohol was the centre of meals and get-togethers, our family came together over tea. When I was really young, I remember my grandmother giving me small sips of tea, letting it cool by placing a small amount in a Tea saucer for me. Even to this day, a meal is incomplete without Chai Tea. My family thoroughly enjoys the comfort that the warmth brings (mind you there are always great goodies that are accompanied with it)  along with the abundance of conversation, laughter and pure joy.

Tea is inspiring. So many different flavours and combinations to choose from. For example, today, my treat will be the Coconut Mango Oolong tea by STASH. Really looking forward to the tropical flavours - a change from the common English Breakfast, or Pekoe Tea.

 

Today's post will be short, but I wanted to leave you all with a little food for thought….

As a great friend told me "Women are like Tea Bags, you never know how strong she will get until she is in hot water."

Have you had a cup today?
