Bumming around in the summer is probably one of my favourite parts. The ideas of “less is more” and figuring out if your straps would give you “good tan lines” all brings me back to my teen years.

As I conclude my style at the cottage for this year (I think) I just want to remind you what I often have to remind myself, dress for where you are going.
There is no point in being all dolled up, when everyone is in sweats, fashion is a part of everything I do, but at times, its function becomes equally as important.

Denim on denim is huge, and although many can probably quote me on hating on this in years past, I have to say with the changes that denim has gone through in the recent years, it’s a fabric that can really be used anywhere. Luxury denims, we all know, can run us a a good chunk of our paychecks, but we should also remember that denim is a classic staple in both the Canadian and American lifestyle. Meaning that there are great and affordable options available at stores like The Gap, American Eagle, and Levi’s.

It’s summer, and as much as I love neutrals it’s time to grab some attention in attention grabbing colours. Looking into the fall colour stories I see a ton of rich dark hues, combined with strong and powerful brights. So invest in these bright pieces now that they are on sale, just be prepared to tone them down for fall. I found this backless shirt and thought how easy it is to wear now, and throw to a cardigan over it in the fall, for a brighter take on stripes.
