I love holiday weekends. I love the tradition that encompasses them, the extra time spent with family, and the chance to catch up on important things such as sleep. It worked out well that the weather cooperated for part of the weekend, a side of sunshine with brunch is so much more enjoyable. Easter always feels like the official kickstart to spring and I’m officially in a spring-like mindset.

Sometimes anything more complicated than jeans and a tee is too daunting to take on in the morning. Thankfully there are ways to dress up your denim, without having to put too much thought into it. Throw on a fabulous little jacket or blazer, a killer pair of heels and an armload of bracelets and out the door you go. I can’t tell you how often I revert to this little uniform of sorts, and how often it’s saved me as I’m running behind and out of options. So the next time you are about to utter the words ‘I have nothing to wear’, pick those jeans and tees up off the floor and jazz them up a little bit.
There’s certain treats from childhood that leave a mark, Oreo cookies definitely fall into that category. When I was young I remember breaking the cookies apart to eat the icing alone, usually stashing the cookie bit where I thought no one would find it. As my palette developed and I got older, that changed, and I still get a little bit nostalgic when offered an Oreo. This recipe for Homemade You-Know-Whats from the Butter Baked Goods cookbook takes it to an entirely new level. Delicious chocolate cookies sandwiched between homemade icing, each cookie sandwich is large enough to share, and you’ll have to break it in two in order to dunk it in a cold glass of milk. I don’t know whether you’ll be thanking me or cursing me, having this deliciousness at your fingertips.

I’m getting an early start on the weekend and heading up north to play hockey in the Western Shield tournament taking place. I’m looking forward to reverting back to childhood when driving around Alberta for tournaments, getting to share a hotel room with teammates and devoting an entire weekend to playing hockey was commonplace. Getting a chance to step back in time is such a treat, especially when I’ll be sharing a hotel room with the same friend that I did from the ages of eight until eighteen, my parents will be there to cheer me on, and our hotel is situated above the country bar. Enough said.

As Calgary tends to be a city that has more winter-weather days than not, I tend to stay away from making shoe purchases that can only be worn part time. I couldn’t, however, take a pass on this sexy pair. Due to their neutral colour, I’m able to pair them with everything from a body con dress to a pair of ripped denim shorts and tee. I love when fashion and practicality rendezvous.
