Well, as you may have noticed by my lack of blog posts, life has been busy and wedding planning is to blame! Although there is still a lengthy 'to-do' list, we've made some exciting progress... Venue: We're getting married at 99 Sudbury . We researched a lot of venues and the selection was limited for unique downtown spaces that can accommodate 200 guests but 99 Sudbury was the second space we saw and is a big blank canvas. We took our parents to check it out last week and it was so exciting seeing the space again and imagining what it will transform into the night of the wedding. Dress : I've ordered my dress! I'm keeping my cards close to my chest on this one, but it feels so great to have found a wedding dress. We had 8 different appointments and I think I tried on over 40 dresses; and as much fun as it was, I'm glad the search is over and I'm so thankful to have such a patient Momma.  Save the Date : I was so impressed with our Minted engagement par

{ the Haven at Loversland } This weekend passed by quickly, but nevertheless, was very much enjoyed. D and I had a late date night at Midfield Wine Bar on Friday, which I can see becoming a local go-to. Saturday started off with massages and we sort of lazed around and ran errands the rest of the weekend. The weather was so great yesterday that we did manage to sneak in a little time by the pool.  Happy Monday! { the cutest beer glasses at Bandit Brewery } { the biggest bowl of citron act as the loveliest kitchen decor } { buttered popcorn + chardonnay for Bachelorette Mondays } { the perfect napkins for a girls night in }

{ homemade birthday cake baked with love } It was a hot and humid week in Toronto and luckily the rain held off long enough to enjoy D's birthday last night. I planned a surprise party and teamed up with our parents to get him a big new barbecue! I'm so pleased to report I had a very happy fianc� yesterday, and if felt so good to spoil him rotten - I can't think of a man more deserving of the love and attention.  I was up early to go wedding dress shopping ( again ) but am excited that I might have just found the dress...! D and I are meeting with a florist tomorrow and it feels good to be working away at the wedding to-do list.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.xx + + + + +  Here are a few fun link from around the web....

{ wilfred allant pant  } As of late, my work schedule involves regular after hour meetings, which means I'm at the office until late. When meeting, I always make an effort to look professional and put together, but I also like my business attire to be comfortable because I'm in it for 12+ hours. I picked up these pants in black at Aritzia over the weekend when I was browsing their sale. They're loose and comfortable but paired with a crisp blouse, still look sharp and classic. They actually kind of feel like dressy sweatpants.. that look killer with heels!
