As we end the month of May, temperatures are feeling like July, and I’m loving it. From the sunshine in the morning, to the warm breeze during my evening walks, these last few days have been beautiful.
A very common question I get asked each spring is about shorts and how to make them work for different settings. I most often wear my shorts, when I’m by the pool or camping up north, like I styled last summer. But today I wanted to show you how to style shorts for more fashionable affairs and settings (parties, drinks, shopping) by wearing a light weight cropped sweater, and contrasting printed shorts. I added chunky suede mules, that I’m completely obsessed with, so be prepared to see plenty of them this summer.

Dress: Staring At Stars (available at Urban Outfitters) Moccasins: from a powwow in 2011
I had the privilege to vacation away in the Kawartha Lakes for a week with my boyfriend’s amazing family. We had an amazing time celebrating our summers, recent achievements and the fact we could all watch Canada go for the gold in such a beautiful part of our great country.
I am someone who loves being outdoors though I rarely get to go, and I usually am dressed inappropriately for my adventures, so packing this time I planned a little better. I packed with the intention of no photos for the blog this week. I knew if I planned to make a great outfit, they would end up being made up of my favourite pieces, and I rather keep my silks away from bug sprays and sunscreens.
I picked up this dress at Urban on sale a few weeks back, and actually love it, it was so easy to wear for a walk along the beach or hanging around Orillia, and I imagine running around Toronto in it on the weekends

Skirt: Joe Fresh Runway Collection Tank: Old Navy Belt: Vintage Silver Creek Collection Shoes: Browns Bag: Roots
I love volume in a skirt. The bigger the better! So when I saw this one on the runway of Joe Fresh I knew I had a game changing piece. This skirt is so glamourous, and yet I feel like it can be worn casually. I can’t wait to mix it in with a few pieces in my closet!
HAPPY {belated} CANADA DAY
