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.

Stay Cool My Friends

Stating that it’s hot out, would be an understatement. I chose a mall for a shopping adventure rather than the streets of Toronto (a mistake every time) just to stay out of the unbearable heat. My tips for staying cool during these summer days are: we know that  layers are usually your friend, on days when less is more pick one great piece, in a natural fiber preferably (linens, silks, and cottons will keep your skin breathing). A summer dress in a light colour is basically perfect. Beauty Tips: waterproof makeup is your friend, a little bit of sun goes a long way for clearing your skin of any imperfections, and SPF! SPF! SPF! SPF! We aren’t even aware of the damage the sun will have on our skin as its effects get stronger!
