Typical Weekend

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Elaine

I don’t have many of those anymore 😛  Weekends these days are filled with little errands here and there, visiting family, star stalking (did you see my video of Jennifer Garner on facebook?!?  If not click here!) etc.

My idea weekend would be to  just trek downtown, see what we can see – there’s ALWAYS something going on in Toronto! Maybe browse the stores, try a new restaurant and catch a movie!

One weekend the husband and I were able to do just that.  It was a nice sunny day out in Toronto so perfect for strolling!

I even got him to shoot a couple pictures for me 🙂

Top Vero Moda XS
Gap Always Skinny Cropped Jeans size 00 (vintage tint – faded wash)
Shoes: Browns ID size 7
Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff (from Dealuxe)
Turban Head Band: Dara Dot Designs
Necklace:  mark by Avon (no longer available!)
Sunglasses: Coach 
Earrings: Birks

This blouse was my other surprise and lovely find from Vero Moda.  I can’t seem to find this blouse online which is strange because I saw it last week in the Vero Moda section of The Bay, a Canadian Department Store.  But I picked this up at the Vero Moda store at the Bramalea City Centre (ha, I KNOW!!  GTA folks I’m sure will be equally surprised)

My version of the “top bun”

Since my hair is curly and has so many layers in it a true top bun is hard for me to achieve.  On top of that, when I put my hair up it NEVER looks the same way twice!  I pretty much just gathered the hair into a pony tail without pulling the “tail” part all the way through and bobby pinned all the stray ends into place.

I love my turban headband, I never thought it would suit me, but I love how it looks casual but put together AND keeps my frizzies out of site 😛

Ring:  Avon size 5 (here in Canada, here in the US)

Cute inexpensive Ombre “statement” ring I picked up when it was on sale for about $9.99 (plus my rep discount!)

    Do you get to do fun kid stuff with Kayla? We always do some typical kid/family stuff just the 2 of us and we get funny looks b/c we don’t have any kids with us LOL!

    Yes go look! I should get a book to you too!

    It’s so true, that’s the one thing I had to get used to living close to the city, paying for parking! Luckily my husband’s work pays for his parking and we can sometimes get free parking on the weekends too! And yeah I hate the TTC!

    Thanks Dani!!! Definitely one of my favorite pairs of jeans, I was so surprised to find them at the Gap last year! And these are my favorite flats that are sadly being completely worn out – I need new ones but these are sooo comfortable!

    LOVE the ring and the turban headband, so chic!

    And I don’t really do much on weekends – mostly roll around watching tv, play lacrosse with my bf, go shopping or drive to see friends. My ideal weekend is about the same (preferably with nice weather) so I am living the dream. 😀

    Woohoo! Loving the outdoor pics. 😀 I love trekking the streets of Toronto, but parking is either too expensive or unavailable. And I don’t enjoy riding the TTC.. bleh

    Hi Elaine, it’s great that you and your husband got to enjoy the city. Toronto is so awesome, there’s always so much to see and do here. My typical weekends are filled with tons of kids stuff and very few adult stuff. The ideal weekend for me is to go to a spa (I can dream, right?). Your outfit is great, I especially love that Rebecca Minkoff clutch and the Avon ring. You have great taste 🙂

    That clutch is beautiful! My weekends are always different it can range from playing sport to catching up with friends to doing nothing. That’s why I love weekends!

    Lovely outfit and hair, Elaine! As for me, a typical weekend in the summer usually means jersey dresses/sun dresses and sandals. As the weather is getting colder now, I’m more leaning to jeans and sweaters with knee high boots (standard weekend outfit in the fall/winter).

    Great outfit, love the top and your hairband! We were talking about turban-style hair accessories in last night’s class – apparently it’s very ‘on-trend’ for this season!!

    CUTE hair and outfit, Elaine! Is this the first we’ve seen of the RM clutch (forgive me if I’m wrong)?! I remember you wanted it and am so glad that you got your hands on one! The leather looks scrumptious.

    My typical weekend consists of running errands, watching TV, reading books, catching up with friends. As of right now, that’s my ideal weekend too, minus the running errands part, haha.

    Love the hair! You look super cute and casual for your weekend outing 🙂

    My typical weekend involves cleaning, laundry, groceries- you know all that mundane boring stuff. My IDEAL weekend would be to sleep in, go to the spa, have good food, and then sleep again!
