What . Cocktails & Dinner for ECFB unleashed!
When . Saturday, April 28th
Weather . Sunny, but cold. Oh-so cold.

I always find it difficult when I have two things I want to write about but they only overlap because of timing and therefore I must prioritize. Why oh why did I not just wear this outfit last night!? Alright it's decided - outfit first, birthday second.

There was so much going on over the ECFB weekend that there was surprisingly very little time to actually snap a few photos of what I wore! Luckily, I did manage to grab a couple of my outfit Saturday night [pre-dinner] and my outfit Sunday morning [post farewell brunch]. Although I loved what I wore out to dinner, I did feel a little too styled for the cooler fall and winter seasons. However, when living in Nova Scotia sometimes thems the breaks of April and May. So I committed to the black accents and revelled in the edge it brought. 


Switching gears. I had SUCH an amazing birthday yesterday! Thank you for all your kind and thoughtful words - they brought sunshine into the otherwise cloudy day [literally not figuratively, it poured all day]. 

So far my birthday week is off to a fantastic start! There was dinner and a movie [The Five Year Engagement] with my parents last Saturday. A sushi lunch with my boss Tuesday and the Avengers [i.e. handsome Robert Downey Jr.] Tuesday night. My actual birthday - Two if by Sea croissants, family & friends drop-in, phone calls, Chabaa Thai for lunch and then gifts and dinner with my guy at Chives Bistro [amazing!!] - all organized by my amazing fiancé, Jack. Today, my birthday week continues with lunch out [more a symptom of an empty fridge than birthday but who cares] and the showing of This American Life live - I am completely nerding out.  


*Full disclosure these heels were swapped out for these ones. After taking these shots I realized I was a little too sleep deprived to test fate and attempt to adorn these into the evening.
