May Long

I know, I know... I'm two days behind, but I couldn't get over the weather we had this past weekend; could we have asked for a better long weekend? I think not.

It was exactly the break that I needed: three solid days of resting, relaxing and sunshine. I figured I would sum up the weekend for you in a list because:
1. lists are awesome; and
2. I love lists.

So, behold... The May Long Weekend Countdown

• 4 - the number of bruises I have on my shins from deciding to re-arrange my bedroom furniture while wearing shorts (I was "inspired" to reorganize my furniture mid-day on the hottest day of the year - can you say stupid?!);
• 3 - the number of days I spent sitting on the Starbucks patio reading and people watching;
• 2 - the number of books I read start to finish (I learned all about being a classy lady from Derek Blasberg, and developed a pretty big lady crush on Mindy Kaling). While it was great to be out in the sun, I was left with...
• 1 - an awkward sunburn on one forearm; and 
• 0 - the distance in kilometres I ran along the canal, according to the Nike + iPod app (in reality I ran 4km. Apparently I'm either too small or too slow for the app to register my pace; I'm pretty sure it's the latter.)
• 0 - is also the number of bike rides I went on, but all of that will change in the next 3-5 days. I've signed up for a BIXI bikes subscription and can't wait to cruise along the canal in the sunshine all summer (and fall, until November) long!

All-in-all it was a fabulous weekend.

To kick-off the weekend I decided to wear two of my favourite trends: cobalt and peplum. It was the perfect ensemble for joining friends on the patio followed by a delicious dinner at Ahora. 

Shirt - Wilfred; Jeans - Mavi; Espadrilles - Aritzia

 

Like I said, all in all a fabulous weekend start to finish.

How did you spend the May Long Weekend?
