Black, Green, & Railroad Tracks

This outfit is from my first day at WCFW. I bought this Caitlin Power romper at the PARK designer sample sale a few months ago, and was waiting for the perfect moment to wear it. My favourite detail is the leather shoulders. 

In other news, I started school, and I ran my first half-marathon in Kelowna last weekend! I am ridiculously excited about school, and am loving the program so far and the half-marathon went really well. The whole weekend was a lot of fun. My brother ran with me and JP and my brother's girlfriend joined us on the trip to Kelowna to cheer us on. We both finished our runs in the amount of time we expected which was around two and a half hours. Unfortunately we don't know the exact times of our runs because both of our time chips didn't activate for some reason. Next time around we plan to do more speed work to bring our time down.

Joe Fresh Autumn Nail Polish

As you all know I love everything Joe Fresh, so when I was asked to try some of their fall beauty products, I was overjoyed. First up is the nail polish. Nail polish is always a fun way add some of the new season's colours to your outfit. I've always loved nail polish and have kept a pretty big collection since I was in Jr. High. Out of the Joe Fresh polishes, I'm especially loving Mulberry, a deep purple with subtle sparkles. I wore it all last week, and then switched over to wearing Terracotta over the weekend, which I am also loving. In the photos the Terracotta polish turned out a little red, but it has more brown and orange tones in it then red. Joe Fresh nail polish is such a steal because it $4 a bottle, goes on smoothly, the colour is rich,  it dries in good time, and I've found on myself it can last 3-4 days without chipping. I'm definitely not careful with my hands after applying nail polish, so 3-4 days is excellent for me. In the last photo I did one had with two coats of Terracotta and the other in one coat. I prefer two coats, but if I were in a hurry I think I could definitely get away with one coat.

Little Black Dress

This is what I wore on my birthday. I had a pretty laid back birthday this year. JP and I went out for steak dinner and had froyo for dessert on the Saturday. On Sunday JP and I went out for breakfast, then I stopped by the Home and Design show with my cousin and aunt and took in some ideas for my new home (we are moving in late November!). It was also my dad's birthday so we celebrated later in the week with angle food birthday cake.

Hearts and Pyramids

This is what I wore to PARKSALE a couple weeks ago. If you missed my post on the sale you can check it out here. Life is going to start getting pretty exciting in the next week. I will be starting school (finally!) and I'm running my first half-marathon! Unfortunately these exciting events are happening the same time as PARKLUXE so I won't be able to attend this year, but if you are in Calgary don't miss out! It's going to be an amazing show. 

Last week I was lucky enough to catch a last minute ride to Western Canada Fashion Week in Edmonton with Aleem designer of Bano eeMee and KD. It was seriously such a fun two days! Watch out for photos from the shows coming up later this week.
