Staycation, didn't get away

Day two of my staycation, and it was finally hitting me that it wasn't just a long weekend, but I was off work for ten days.


Needless to say, I was excited.


And, jumping for joy.



Coco Rocha makes it look so easy, Tyra would be so disappointed with my hands in these photos. She and Andre Leon Talley would be calling this drectitude to the extreme.


But, all of that critique wouldn't stop this Petite Adventurer. I was on vacation - nothing could take that away from me.


Day two of the staycation was much like day one. Lots of work, plus a trip to IKEA to pick-up all the essentials - you know, ironing board, shoe boxes, wine glasses, etc. the things you *really* can't live without. IKEA around labour day is hell. It's a zoo of aggressive families and there is no cart etiquette whatsoever. 

Like I said, hell.


To conquer hell, and dodge all the people and carts moving haphazardly through the aisles, one needs to be grounded; so, I threw on my TOMS, a pair of bermudas and a top that makes me feel cute - something to balance out the bermudas.


This outfit was the ideal choice for such a day. 


I managed to get in and out of Ikea in less than an hour getting almost everything on my list - although, they didn't have the step stool I was looking for - yes I need a step stool, it's one of the many joys of being 5'2".


Even though I went to hell and back that day, I was still smiling at the end of it all.

Who doesn't love organizing their closet, especially while being on vacation?!
