Usually I look longingly at the weather app for New York, which is almost always a few degrees above Calgary. So it was a welcome change to come back from NYC to spring-like weather in YYC. This kind of weather is such a tease, as I know there will likely be more snow to come before actual spring. But until that snow falls again you’ll be seeing me in dresses, tights and my favorite suede boots.
I took some time off last week while in New York, brainstorming how to get a visa for a conference. There was some slightly unfortunate timing coming home with snowstorm Nemo and needless to say it was an incredibly long journey. The best part of arriving back home, aside from my insanely comfy bed, was having the girls over for a decadent dose of sweets. Cupcakes, cookies, cinnamon popcorn and heart shaped candies were on the menu, washed down by delicious David’s Teas. This could be one of my favorite days to celebrate based on color palette alone, and it was so nice to spend time with some seriously amazing ladies I get to call my friends.
It’s been years since I’ve had a rice crispy square. It’s never the first thing I go for when given an option. The cookie, brownie, slice of cake or all of the above seem to make the cut ahead of the rice crispy square. When I came across this recipe from the Flour Bakery for Brown Butter Crispy Rice Treats, I knew I had to give it a go. I cannot quite explain the deliciousness of these treats, but they are definitely not the same treat you had growing up. They are so much better.

This weekend warmed up nicely, and I made an effort to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. There was some zoo time, football, an interesting documentary and some serious packing. This week will be a busy one and I’m hoping I’m prepared, here’s to a productive Monday.

There’s nothing quite like a coat that has a feminine touch without compromising clean lines and style. I knew instantly that I would be able to wear this coat a multitude of ways, including on its own. Done up, or left open over top a dress and tights as I did, is the perfect recipe to feel a little extra lady-like. We should all have at least two one of these pieces in our wardrobes, right ladies?
