Some Classic

 

 

I had a totally different outfit on this morning.. starting with the pants. I had an outfit in mind.. put it on and it was frumpy so then I pulled stuff from the closet.. big heap of discards on the bed and finally came up with this.  Very simple, yes, lots of  black.. but I like it. And the pants are comfy-- the boots are made for walking so I am one happy girl!!

And to start my week having an exceptional Monday: 1 hour yoga/weights, good strong americano coffee, organic grapefruit and egg whites for breakfast, brisk walk to work. Oh yeah, and feeling sassy in my outfit!

And, for a photo of Saturday night.. I am in the back (since I am tall).  Julie's dress was hot.. was totally made for her!!  Thanks to Benny for the group shot!!

Sunday Wear

 

 

Almost dinner time here at home.. a very relaxing day. I went for a run on my favorite run route with a good friend I haven't seen for quite awhile.  Did some grocery shopping at this really awesome fruit and veggie market and then came home and just did some light housecleaning and overall  relaxing!!

Last night was totally fun. There were about 28 ladies for dinner and 20 in a limo afterwards for Julie's stagette party.  We had a 'man hunt' and had to drive around town looking for a range of different guys (DJ, cowboy, bartender.. etc) and Julie got her photo with each one of them.  Not the kind of thing I have ever done before so it was an experience alright!!  I unfortunately was having difficulty with my camera so ended up not being the photographer and not getting good photos- sorry-- I dont have any to showcase this time around!!

I hope you all had an awesome weekend.. and here's to one of the best weeks you could ever ask for. I mean really-- what if you took on making this upcoming weeks one of the BEST weeks of your life so far?  What would you be doing? How would you be being??  I don't know about you, but thats what I  am taking on!!!

MWAH. xoxo J

Pink and Leopard

 Woo hoo its friday and I have 2 girls outings this weekend. This means the opportunity to come up with 2 evening outfits!!  And I can't wait to showcase some of the girls on my blog also!  Today is casual day- I am in the office doing paperwork and getting alot done.  By the way, I love pink and leopard together.. have seen some good ideas on various blogs and can't wait to come up with some other combinations!!  Happy Weekend everyone!!  Hugs, J

Fall is HERE

I went to the beach at lunchtime. Good thing too cuz I needed to decompress from a project at work. Nothing like the sound of waves to bring peace to ones life!!  For some reason I love this blouse. I got it several years ago off the sale rack at Macy's for like $5.00 or something.  Not like I have gotten compliments on it or anything, I just love wearing it. Maybe because the fabric feels good, its a bit flowing and I like the neckline. Any way, I have to find something  else to wear it with since I have lost weight and this skirt is now too big (you can't see the back with all the gathers from me hiding all the extra waist line there :)

Apologies for the dark photos.. I had my camera on the wrong setting and realized it too late.  Not much else to share today except I had a totally awesome weights workout this morning.  I am doing alot of Bikrams Yoga and weights these days and as result am starting to see the results physically and am liking it. EXCEPT it means I have to buy new clothes.. (oh geeee... tooo bad!!)

toodle doo for now!! xox  J

Time for Boots

Okay, what happens when it rains in October??? Well- I pull out my boots! YEHAH. Boots are my fav of all times! BUT. The rain makes my hair go crazy. This is what it looks like at the end of the day after walking around outside with an umbrella.. it goes all fuzzy and big!!  I can't believe I have like Farah Fawcett hair, or some flashbacks of the 80's here.  That said, I am actually liking my hair these days... OH BOY!!  I got this funky laptop bag at a thrift store recently and was excited to find something stylish. Now I can match my laptop bag to my outfits. Yes, very important.

We have a Stagette party this weekend for a friend and we all have to wear black except her. I am so excited because on my walk home from work I came up with an outfit idea--a combination that I haven't worn before-- promise to get photos of us all!!

Hope you had a super day.  All I can say is I'm glad the work day is over!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend (Jodi Unplugged)

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!!  I got home from New Brunswick totally exhausted and it took a few days to get back to normal after a 4 hour time difference!  My commitment this weekend was to relax and I have accomplished this so far!! We went for a drive out to a local farm and got some good veggies and a pumpkin to carve for Halloween.  Sunday I spent the day raking the leaves up and washing the exterior of the house. What's with those stupid t-shirts they give out at races anyway? They are always cotton and never the kind of top you would wear running!! So, as you can see, I make use of my old runners and race shirts while I  work in the yard. Go Jodi Go!!  LOL

This morning we drove out to our favorite lake to run the 10km loop around it... as you can see it was pretty rainy on the way out there so we stopped in for a coffee and waited for the rain to pass.  Well the rain didn't stop so we ran anyway and got really wet and dirty.  Now at home taking it easy. I actually wish I had 1 more day off but hey, what's a girl to do!!

I hope your'e enjoying your weekends!!  MWAH Jodi

Lobster Land

I had to stop and take some Lobster photos, how could I NOT?  You can't really see my cute plaid top but I love it and it's the perfect adventuring shirt. You get Day 2 of Jodi Unplugged ala New Brunswick style.  Please note that I do know that the red and pink are a fashion statement :)!!!
Rainy day today, got some shots with me and my zebra umbrella but the were blurry (my friend didn't have her glasses on so most of the photos she took of me weren't in focus.  OH I had better not say anything or else I will be jinxed with having to wear glasses one day!!

Having fun at any rate. Catch you tomorrow!!!  I had a visit from COLETTE.. wooo hooo miss you babes!! xoxo J

Hi from Eastern Coast of Canada

Reporting live from eastern Canada. Today was beach walk exploring and it was very windy as you can see. My hair was crazy and not so stylish outfit but OH so comfy!  We walked all along the boardwalk and along the beach.  Likely a similar looking outfit for tomorrow but can you blame me, I am on holiday (at least for the weekend :).

Good night from New Brunswick!! And YES I had seafood for dinner!!!

Blue Spots

I am leading a storytelling workshop for youth today so thought I would dress a little sassy. This scarf makes me feel sassy alright. Of course, Animal print always has that effect on me.  So I was hamming it up in the park today.. bored of my same old poses so was goofing off.  I was even trying to get some action shots by throwing the scarf up in the air  but it didn't really work out and then I realized I should get my butt to work!!!

Off to the east coast later this week so I hope to get some fun photos and outfit shots in good locations for you.  I love this time of the year for photography- the light is perfect and of course, its time to pull out the boots and scarves so I am a happy girl!!

Hope you are all well. Someone asked me on the weekend if I was a model. I laughed about that, but then realized I guess  I actually am. For myself!! LOL She said she thought because I was so tall and graceful and that I had such nice clothes that I must be a model. Well. Nice compliment. But only a model in my own mind.

Do you get crazy compliments like that ever??    xoxo J

Leather Skirt

Hanging out in the school yard ... I felt weird going there with my camera and tripod but it was a good location on my way home from a meeting today.  I LOVED this outfit.. my leather skirt that I haven't worn to work before and got lots of compliments on was totally comfortable.  I need to find a few more things to wear with this baby.  I read INSTYLE while waiting in the grocery store line up today so got some more ideas for this fall. I love that magazine. I used to buy it as a treat to read at the airport while I was traveling but now I just read it in line ups in the store. Save the environment, I say :)  I love fall and winter colors and styles so bring it on--cant wait for boots and scarves!!!

Hope you are enjoying your summer/fall transitions!!   xoxo Jodi
