my city is featured on design*sponge

Seeing Edmonton featured on Design*Sponge's City Guides today made me giddy. 

You can check out the comments section for some extra suggestions from me. I love this city so damn much I just had to get my two cents in. 

Not familiar with the City Guides? They're a super starting off point when researching travel destinations. I found the Charleston guide really helpful while planning our anniversary trip back in June. Now I need one for my trip to the motherland next summer!

Once you've read the Edmonton guide, I hope you'll consider visiting. We can hang out!

Have you heard of the term schlurging? I read it in the tome that is the September issue of InStyle (716 pages of fall fashion!). It means you still get the urge to splurge on back-to-school clothes even if you haven't cracked open a school book in years, haha.

Strangely enough, I haven't really schlurged... yet. I did get the Lola wallet and this Anthropologie necklace is now mine, but that's about it so far. If you follow me on instagram you'll know that I tried on this beauty of a dress recently. And I walked away! Frankly, I'm showing some crazy good restraint, peeps.

What about you? Have you schlurged yet?

P.S. Eleventh on my list is anything from these crazy talented Canadian gals who get it right every time.
