Well I did it, I made it through my first week back from vacation. And I don’t have another full week until the last week of August thanks to the holiday on Monday and taking the next Friday off to travel to my friend’s wedding and honestly thank goodness. Where are the four-day work week crusaders?

I think I’ve already mentioned that my Supergas did not survive New York City, so I’m on the hunt for another white/neutral sneaker, I’m wondering about Vejas, but I’m also wondering if there is any point buying sneakers in August when I live in Northern Ontario.

Speaking of, I’m looking at getting a pair of boots from Duo Boots this fall/winter.

I also started The Summer I Turned Pretty (Prime), but then I paused my Prime subscription because I am trying to make it more difficult to order from Amazon, but now I’m kind of mad because I was really enjoying this show.

Have a great weekend!
