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

You play Lacrosse?!? How did I not know this???? Ahhh I envy you living the dream LOL! But I guess I can’t complain, I live the dream weekend every once in a while!
Thanks Jen!! You must have amazing weekends as well!
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!
LOL I know, I can’t stop wearing it! It goes with everything
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!
Ahhh thanks Sharon I totally appreciate it! Ummm yeah a spa sounds amazing! Take me with you when you go!
Kid stuff can be fun too, I’m just a big kid myself anyway LOL!
Thanks Kat! Yes I live for weekends! Yours sound so exciting!
Thanks so much Tara! It’s one of my favorite blouses right now – of course, grey my favorite colour LOL!
Oh I an’t wait to wear knee high boots, my favorite part of fall LOL! I need flat ones this year though, I’ve given up trying to be out for more than a few hours in heels!
Oooh how exciting, I’m on trend!!!!! Thanks so much Louise!
Thanks Larie!! Oh yes, how could I forget brunches! If I could just laze around and have brunch every weekend I’d be happy!
Thanks Cee! This is my 2nd post!! I showed it off a couple posts ago
Yeah errands are kind of a bummer, but necessary in adult life 
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!
Thanks Heather! Oh yea, I have the boring stuff thrown in on my usual weekend too. And ahhh a spa sounds wonderful!
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.
Hope you had a great weekend. Your post weekend sounds like a weekend I would love to have too
Loving your turban headband, looks great.
my typical weekend is running around doing errands and going out with my family (mainly so kayla can have fun) so weekends are pretty busy too but i love it.
i have to go to the avon site and look at their accessories! love that ring.
That top is so chic! You sure are getting lots of wear out of that Avon necklace.
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!

I love your blouse, and your hair is adorable!
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!!
I love your top – it’s super cute! My ideal weekend involves yummy breakfasts and relaxing
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 necklace, love the jeans (the button details is so cute), and love the flats!
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!
