NYC Weekend Pics

This past weekend we went to visit family in New Jersey and did some day trips to NYC. We walked around SOHO and the East Village (my fave spots) and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I also did a little shopping at J.Crew (moccasins and poncho)and picked up some cupcakes at the Little Cupcake Bakeshop(vanilla vanilla is my fave!).  Overall it was a great weekend and can't wait to go back.

Random pics of things I'm loving ...

Great saying!

New snack I am really loving

Dreaming of these babies!

Necklace I never want to take off!

Well the rain has come and settled in Montreal this weekend.  Hopefully we will have some sun filled days ahead for the long Thanksgiving weekend coming up!  Thus it was hard to get some outfit shots as the weather did not really permit.  So I pretty much stayed indoors this weekend (apart from a beautiful wedding I attended) and watched some movies (Friends with Benefits) and munched on pretzels:)

Have a wonderful week!

Arm candy is everywhere these days and I love it!!  I am a really big fan of piled on jewels but need to keep in mind that the look is not always office appropriate. Also beware of jingly jewelry in the workplace as it can sometimes be distracting. Therefore I usually don't go overboard on the bracelets for work, but simply add a couple of more classy pieces. Above are some great options for those who like silver or gold (or a mix of both). So start piling it on ladies and let me know which is your fave?  

Lazy Sunday getup

(Very comfy shoes!, great for walking)

This weekend was mostly spent relaxing and a great way to do so is by talking long walks.  Montreal has some great spots and one of my favorite is around the Lachine Canal.  It is absolutely gorgeous and  filled with beautiful green spaces.  I kept my outfit simple and just tied my hair in a low bun to really get that relaxed look.  Having to dress up for work really makes you want to be casual on the weekend:)  But that doesn't mean you need to be sloppy.  Some great options are leggings with a great chambay shirt or a simple and casual dress with some great flats.
What do your casual looks consist of?

This was both a lazy and healthy weekend, where I got to sleep in, exercise and just enjoy.  I have been working some pretty late hours as of late and really needed to start a healthy routine.  So to do that I went jogging along the canal close to the Atwater market, ate fresh vegetables from my garden and gave myself a facial.  I also did a little shopping where I bought 2 new shirts (see above), picked up my new nerdy chic eyeglasses and picked my favorite shoes to be worn this fall.

What was your long weekend like??
