From Fall To Summer

One of my absolute favourite colours this season is by far, cobalt blue. There was a very similar colour in style back in the fall, and the fact that it has lasted through the weather change and can now also be a "summer" colour really makes me happy. It looks good on pretty much everyone, and you can pair it with just about any colour (pink, yellow, light green, and of course the beiges, greys, blacks, and whites, and countless other colours). I have shorts, pants, tops, and tons of accessories in this colour and I don't see myself stopping wearing them anytime soon. I find pairing maxi skirts with crop tops very effective in balancing out the different lengths.

As well, one of my favourite pieces this season is the big hat. Not necessarily a beach hat (you know, straw coloured and woven), but a wool hat that you usually see for fall (albeit, a light wool for the hot summer weather). It looks amazing for a bohemian look, which is my favourite, with a kimono and boots (check out my Instagram to see how I wore it here), but also goes well with numerous other outfits. So here is my cool summer look utilizing fall colours and pieces; it just goes to show how versatile fashion can be!

Long Weekends

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been crazy busy the last couple weeks. Last weekend was the Canada Day long weekend. I worked all weekend and on Monday my family and I went down to the beaches with our dog. It was the perfect day to sit on a patio and have a beer (which is exactly what we did). We had lunch at the works, an amazing burger joint in Toronto. Check our their website and mind-blowing menu here, I highly recommend!


I went very boho and did an olive green maxi skirt with a striped crop top. I paired the outfit with a long gold necklace and brown gladiator sandals, and to top it off I wore a cute floral side purse.

What did my Canadian readers do for the long weekend? And what do my American readers plan to do for their 4th of July long weekend?
