THE HUNT FOR THE BIG BLACK BAG

I'm a fan of massive bags. I have one that I got from H & M a year and a half ago but I'm on the hunt for a real leather one. I'm not the crazy impulsive shopper I once was (and my finances are thanking me, speaking of, soon I'm going to be sharing some posts on budgeting..yahoooo!) so I'm in NO rush....that's right sales girl, I won't cry if that bag sells out. If I won the bag lottery, I would choose this Celine bag in a second. But there's no such thing as a bag lottery, and I will never fathom spending that kinda $$$ on a bag. 

So here I am patiently stalking some online stores looking for my glass slipper of big black bags....I haven't found mine yet but these ones are kinda cute....

Funny story...I was this close to buying the Aritzia one when it was on sale ($75 off regular price) but they were sold out everywhere and my only option was to order it online and get it in March...I was soooo close to doing it but the delay and the fact that it doesn't have a zipper (aka one big open bag) made me change my mind...good grief lol

Got any fun weekend plans?? I DO! We're heading to Van for the day tomorrow to go to West Elm and IKEA!! Soooooo stoked. One thing I'm not stoked about though is this stupid virus that I have...I got tested for strep, but the doctor thinks I just have a virus...but the worst thing of all is I have NO VOICE....it was going yesterday and today I could barely speak a sentence.. PTL for text messaging!

Happy Friday!

FRIDAY FAVES // BACK TO BLACK

Happy Halloween!

Today's Friday Fave is all about my absolute favourite colour to wear which happens to go perfectly with today. 

I want it all! And how cute are those scalloped flats?

1. Sweater

2. Fur Vest

3. Bag

4. Nail Polish

5. Flats

6. Pants

Well I hope you have a fun AND safe Halloween! If you're still stuck on a costume, may I suggest wearing clothes and opting for a more creative costume choice? We're hitting up the corn maze this morning and then plan on watching a scary movie at home. Last night I had some girls over to watch Hocus Pocus...I need to watch that movie every single year. What's your favourite Halloween movie?

Happy weekend!
