Fabulous Friday’s Linkup Party- Back to School and Another DIY!

Uhmm, I know I can’t stop September but, back to school already?? I’m still in flip flops (or barefoot) and wanting to hang out. Meanwhile, my two youngest daughters started classes already. They’re taking them online- no choice. But, that in itself required its own prepping and space-making (and time slots to boot!). We’re all adjusting!

As for me, I’m preparing! I don’t begin teaching until late next week. And on a very happy and excited note, I’ve begun a fantastic collab with a wonderful company here in Montreal. You’ll be hearing more about this very soon!!

**Besides the barefoot look, I’ve been living in jumpsuits and flip flops.**

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_1461_facetune_19-08-2020-16-37-59-1.jpg — Here’s another jumpsuit fave (I know it looks similar to the top polka dot one- but this one has little darts instead!) Loving my famous (coz I wer them all the time) camelia flip flops. Summer please don’t go!!

Also always fun for me, I’ve done another DIY! The cold shoulder dress that was revamped (maybe you already saw the post or IGTV on my Insta feed?). If not, here’s the pic and a little video clip for your enjoyment😊

I have a bunch of things waiting for me to revamp. So, I’ve pledged to myself to do at least one a week. They aren’t all worthy of Insta or blog posting (as a lot of it is mending lol!!)- but I will share what I think you might like and want to learn to do as well.

This week I was also featured on Michelle’s blog: My Bijou Life Online!! Thanks so much Michelle for featuring me- I love the ladies you placed me with!! How we wore white!

Now- Let me take a moment to THANK ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN LINKING UP!!! Honestly, you don’t know how much it means to me!! And although I may not always comment, I do read every single linked up post- I promise!!!

And from those linked posts, see here which were my picks for this week:

My Favourite Linkup Fashion Diva of the Week: Gail of Is This Mutton

**I’m a goner for a great polka-dot!! And this Styling is Superb!! How darling does she look!!!!** **She added a lime green collier- and that exquisite touch seals the deal for me!**

My Favourite Real- Life- Talk- Linkup Read of the Week: by Shelbee of Shelbee on The Edge, for her post: Love Your Body, It’s the Only One You’ve Got.

**This post was so on point and very real on all levels- It’s a must read for all women. Thanks for writing about this and on your own personal note as well.**

My Favourite Informative Linkup Read of the Week was by Lizzie of : Lizzie and Lace, for her post on : Hidden Crown Extensions Review, Update and Comparison

I loved reading this so much because I’m such a girl who’s all about her mane (you could never tell, right?!). I love reading this type of info regarding anything that has to do with hair or enhancing it!

Thank you So much Ladies for the wonderful blog posts that you’ve linked up!

Ok! Let’s kick of this weekend thing with a Fabulous Friday Linkup shall we?!!

Linkup Party! Fabulous Fridays- and-The Weekend is here!

I don’t know why it is that every single Friday for as long as I can remember, I get so excited about the weekend (like it’s a special one-time event or something)…why is that?

This week was super fun with plenty of styling challenges (more on that on next week’s post). And, I finally corrected my Fashion Students’ last final! I guess you could say I’m officially off for the summer (although we start again in a few weeks lol!).

So far it’s been a good summer; lots of cuddles with grandbabies, lots of BBQ’s, new upkeeps to the grounds, great weather, fun birthday…and also lots of puppy love- check out our sweet Charlie:)

**Here he is with my youngest- pure love!**

I’ve also enjoyed so many tete-a-tete dinners with my husband- like dating all over again (except at home!)

**And…not sure why I have only one plate setting shown here…but yeah, you’re gonna have to believe me when I say we weren’t quite sitting tete-a-tete, but rather: side by side lollll!!**

Oh and we did finally attempt ONE restaurant for a pizza- and they were super Covid-ready in terms of cleanliness and sanitation…so that was a relief! Loved the pizza and Aperol Spritz of course!

Fun times!

I also want to start mentioning my features up here again (I usually put them on my Insta stories- but want to add them here too. It’s just that sometimes my post gets written up before I get to see the feature- it’s not that I forgot someone.

I want to thank Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood for featuring me alongside these Fabulous Divas!

And NOW…MOving onto my FAVOURITE Link-up FASHION DIVA of the WEEK:

by: Jacqui of Mummabestylish!

And- my FAVOURITE LINK-UP READ of the WEEK:

by: Adventures in Weseland: Watching the Sea Lions

Fabulous Friday Linkup Party…and My BDay Recap!

Hope you’re all ready for the weekend my lovelies! Last Sunday I finally got to celebrate my Bday and cut a cake! And- the weather was the worse!! BUT…just as we were about to sit down inside, the sun came out! So out we went and set it all up – we were given a two hour window and we got it done! Got to cut my cake and open some cute and very thoughtful presents!

Take a look:

**Jean Claude Poitras’ book! He is our famous Montreal Designer Legend!! I missed the exhibition at the Museum (thanks Covid)- but now I have his book!**!

**Y’all know how much I love to cook and entertain- how cute is this personalized cheese platter!! (Love anything with my name on it lol!!)**

My husband did the BBQ and I cooked the side dishes- love doing it!

This is how you blow out candles the ‘Social Distancing’ way!

My daughter, her husband and the newborn baby couldn’t make it (again, thanks Covid)- but we still celebrated and had a great time…while the weather lasted.

That same evening there was a horrible thunder storm and we ran out of power! Oh well!

And now- Onto my Favourite Fashion Diva of the Week:

Shelbee from Shelbee on the Edge for her post : An Exercise on Self Confidence

**Isn’t she absolutely stunning! And her article is unbelievably relatable- go check it out.**

And- for my Favourite Linkup Read of the week:

Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood posted a heart-wrenching post on human trafficking, and along with it was a poem by Jennifer Morrison: Innocence Lost.

**Why are we not doing more against these atrocities?? Shouldn’t this BE NUMBER 1 IN ALL POLITICAL AGENDAS??**

AND NOW…Are you ready for the Link Up Party?!!!

Fabulous Friday Linkup Party…And This Weekend is For Celebrating!

Friday means the weekend is here and I’m about to celebrate! On Monday I turned 59- and this Sunday we’re gonna try to celebrate that with my family…let’s see how the social distancing thing will allow us to do that lol!

Birthdays are always a fun time and this year I’m not really feeling the closing off of my fifties…Believe it or not, I can’t wait to turn 60. I’m not gonna try to savour 59 as much as I can- I want it to go by fast- is that weird?

For me, I find the older I get, the more I get to do what I want to do. I’m getting closer and closer to freedom and dreams coming to reality. Not that I have super idealistic dreams- I’m just tasting all the possibilities; which actually involve doing the things that I’ve waited so long to do (or have the time to do!). I think my sixties are gonna be fun…so for now, 59, bring it on because this girl needs things to move fast- loves a change and turning pages for the new. I’m on board!

Stay tuned next Friday for a little recap of my Bday weekend!

And now for my Favourite Fashion Diva Linkup of the week:

Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style Blog

**This black and white look is everything!!**

My favourite Linkup read of the week was by Grace of Graceful Rags Blog for her post: Packing for College in the Age of Coronavirus

Fabulous Friday’s Link up Party- and I’m Back Home….

I truly never thought that a grandmother’s love could be this immense. It feels like my grandchildren (I have two now! 10 months and the other 6 weeks)- are twice my children. Is that weird to say? Because that’s how I feel…My babies had babies, so doesn’t that make me double the mom? Wtv the case- I never knew I could love this deeply!

After a month and a bit, of helping out with the newborn over at my daughter’s, I’m now back home. Have to get back into my styling, because honestly I lived in comfy-sloppies and flip flops for that whole month! But it was so worth it spending time with them- I feel privileged and this will be precious moments I’ll cherish forever.

Before leaving I did cook up a storm so they’d have plenty of meals ready (we all know how there’s no time for anything when you’re a new parent!) Check out what I prepared:

Now time to get into this Fabulous Friday and the Fashion Diva of the Week:

**How darling is she in this white romper?!**

Favourite Blog Post Link up Read of the week:

By Grace of Colour and Grace for her post on: Turning Grief into Growth: Celebrating my Wedding Anniversary

**Such a touching and inspiring post- when all hope seems gone for good. Loved it so much**.

Fabulous Friday’s Link UP: A Holiday A Week…

On June 24th we celebrate La St-Jean Baptiste (also known as La Fete Nationale), here in Quebec! We’re lucky to have back to back holidays with Canada day being next week on July 1st!

Usually what you can expect on a non-Covid year…

That usually means fireworks and cook outs, get together s and fun. This year, La St-Jean was very quiet for me- as you know, I’ve moved in with my daughter who’s had a baby; I’m on Nonna duty! And next week will be the same. (Can’t help but wonder how social distancing will work out though…)

As you may have noticed, I’m a little low on the Insta posting and with good reason: Family comes first. But I do want to tell all my blogger friends that it’s not that I don’t want to drop by and read (I do when I can!), there’s just no time. How is it that these little bundles of joys call all the shots, and rule?

Ok so little time! Let’s jump right into this!

Here’s my Favourite Fashion and Lifestyle Link Up Post of the Week!

by Suzanne of Crazy Blonde Life‘s post: Summer Fun With Cabana Life + My Favourite Summer Entertaining Tips

How gorgeous is this girl! Check out her fun and delicious recipes as well.

Fabulous Friday’s Link Up: Reflections, More Styling…and a Lip Plumping Trick!

Reflection is an ongoing process…but of not much use unless you push it forward with some action. I’m pushing myself to learn more and make a difference. It’s a work in progress. But I am hopeful. The key reminder is that we are ALL God’s children.

I’m so happy that this message gets passed along throughout our blogging community – it’s so important!! So I want to thank Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge for featuring it as well!!

As for styling- well it’s been such a fun week of print mixing and color smashing (been keeping my Styling Students on their toes!!). You can read my post here.

Last Week’s LINK UP FAVOURITES:

I picked 4!! INSPIRATION, HISTORY, FASHION, and Most Clicked!

1- For an amazing heart-felt, inspirational and urgently needed read– head on over to Ashley’s Blog: Le Style Rouge

2- Do you know the history of Kimonos?? If you don’t you should head over to High Latitude Style and read Nicole’s post. It is so interesting!!

3- And for my favourite fashion look: Check out Shelbee on the Edge’s post here. Should she really say good-bye to this look…OMG- please keep this and REWEAR, darling, it’s just too good!!

4- Most Clicked site on the Link Party last Friday was: Nicole’s post, from High Latitude Style: 9 Bloggers Reveal Their Secrets How to Get Bikini Ready Such great tips you’re gonna wanna read!!

I can’t tell you how happy I was to be featured on My Bijou Life Online this week…and the reason being that once again the fabulous WOC I wrote about got another shout out!! If you haven’t read my article- check it out here:

And then… I also remembered that I never shared my Lip Plumping Trick with you my fabulous Divas!! How can I forget this. Honestly, it works like a charm (without injections…well at least so far!). Here’s the clip for this.

Let me know if you try it and how you like it!
