Recent Finds...Hautelook Jbrand and Bansri

Some recent purchases from Hautelook...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I recently received my order from Hautelook and ended up keeping just the necklace. The jeans didn't work out so back they went. As for the necklace, the picture doesn't do it justice. In real life it sparkles quite a bit(Swarovski stones)  and is rose gold plated(marking is 925 as well). Price wasn't too bad, so another success story for Hautelook.

Recent Finds...Winners - Moschino

Moschino Jacket 

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Another great find from Winners this past weekend. It seems I have the best luck at the Park Royal location. It's my go to for designer pieces. I also find many baby items at great prices. Check it out before you pop by Babies R Us.

Chapters Richmond Closing...

What I came home with...

Other books I liked but didn't purchase;

Color me confident

Living In Style

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. I had just received the email Sunday morning and stopped by in the afternoon. To my surprise there were shelves completely bare and of course haphazard sections. There was a constant line up and the children's area was unrecognizable. Nonetheless I managed to pick up some great finds during my time there.

Recommendations:

Bring a friend - either to wait in line while you shop/vice versa. Also to divide and conquer!

Hydration - it is boiling hot in there and way to many humans breathing with no aircon. Do yourself a favour and bring water. Or a portable fan:) both is even better!

Recent Finds...Stuart Weitzman

While killing time at the mall recently, I stumbled upon a great find!

Sneak peaked on Instagram

Stuart Weitzman Mezzamezza 50/50 boots

Leather front, stretch back 

Below the knee with a 1.5" heel

Back height 15", front 15.5" approx

12" top opening, not stretched

These fit perfect in the calf, but are still a bit loose in the ankle...

No helping that as I have chicken ankles :"(

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. For those of you who have the same trouble as I in finding a pair of knee high boots fitting in the calf look no further. I was killing time recently in Brentwood Mall and popped by Ingledews Clearance store. I first spotted these and immediately tried them on. A perfect fit! I had wanted the thigh high version but could never find my size. They also had the SW almond toe pointed high heeled version, but not in my size. I did try on several pull up leather knee highs but all were loose in the calf(there were Cole Haan ones that were super comfy and had your usual high heel). I got these on sale for half off, they are on the expensive side but you do get what you pay for. The leather is butter soft and they are super comfy. These will be perfect with skirts, shorts, leggings and skinny jeans!

I LOVE...Groupon

6 Course tasting menu at Brock House

L to R-Scallop and Bacon on Toast

Crab Cake with Thai Sauce

Mushroom Soup

(Super well done:( ) Steak, veggies and poutine

Butternut Squash Ravioli and Veggies

Chocolate Mousse

"Old man" usually is the one to peruse Groupon, and sometimes the restaurants he picks I'm left thinking no wonder they're on Groupon. '_' 

This time I'm happy to report, was not the case. I've heard of Brock House before from someone's wedding, but have never been. While we were there, there were countless wedding tours. I can see why brides and grooms to be would pick Brock House for their wedding, it's beautiful! (the view is stunning) But very small...imo

Anywho back to the food...
Normally I would never eat 6 courses, but the sizes were just right and I left with a happy belly:)
My faves were the mushroom soup, scallop and bacon on toast, and crab cake. I could do without the steak and squash ravioli. They kinda ruined the first delicious courses...O well...

So thanks to Groupon I was able to try something I normally wouldn't at a fraction of the price:) Tres pleased with that!
