I heart summer!

As my husband pointed out, today was my first real day of summer vacation. He was back to work and I was on my own. I had a great day. DH took me out for lunch (his idea). He works downtown and has many places to choose from for lunch. He also gets a full hour lunch hour. I sometimes get bitter. My lunch is often 5 minutes of me shoving something down my throat and I rarely get the opportunity to leave school for lunch. So his invitation made me happy.

After lunch, I hit the mall and treated myself to a five dollar coffee at Starbucks. I picked up a new pair of sandals that I ordered earlier this week from SoftMoc. Clarks sandals for under $30; can't beat that. I also stopped by Gap and picked up some new underoos for myself and DH. I love Gap under-things. The day was full of "me-treats".

Tonight DH and I are BBQing and relaxing outside with a couple of beverages. It's been a great starting day to summer.

Here is what I wore today.



And in real life:

Skirt: J Crew
Top: Walmart
Shoes: Naturalizer wedges
Purse: Coach
Headband: Forever 21
Sunglasses: Aldo

  1. Hey!

    I found your blog randomly by clicking other people's blog's - I really don't remember how I got here. Sorta creepy hey? :p

    So I've gotten that you're from Canada too, but how do you get stuff from J.Crew? Do you go to the states a lot, or do they actually ship to us Canadians??

  2. What a cute outfit! Looks great with your new purse. It sounds like a nice day for you.

    I remember those days -- teachers don't get time to eat or use the bathroom! Not fair.

  3. Hi Spiffykerms, welcome to my blog.

    Canadians can order from J Crew. If you place an order, just make sure you have it shipped by Canadian Post not UPS. UPS charges a lot of duty upfront. With Canada Post, you have a 1 in 4 chance that they will catch you and charge duty.

    We also go to the States twice a year for our semi-annual outlet shopping trip. The next trip is coming up soon! Yeah!

  5. ^ and I believe that for us Canadians there is never any duty if the purchase is under $60??

    Congrats on being on (well-deserved) summer vacay!!! Yes, a Starbuck's treat was definitely in order. My treat of choice is a skinny vanilla latte!

    I love your skirt and wedges combo btw!!!
