Gap 1969 Skinny Cord Leggings in Aubergine - Thanks ShortieK!

I have been looking for these pants since I saw them on Jean's September 30 post. And they were sold out even then - I went to five stores in Toronto and even searched in Manhattan when I was down there for Canadian Thanksgiving.  I probably went to seven or eight stores in total.

Summerlicious with fellow Toronto Petite Bloggers

Summerlicious is always something to look forward to in Toronto. An opportunity to try out different restaurants around the city for a fixed price is something I look forward to every Summer!

You can check out the lunch and dinner options here.
