Tank: Lush    Mint Denim Shorts: H&M   Thongs: The Gap   Sunglasses: Kate Spade

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.

Top: Joe Fresh  Belt: Banana Republic  Skirt: Central Park West  Necklace: Topshop  Shoes: Browns

So the weather here in Toronto has been unbearable, making many of my outfits as I say it, “unpostable”. Though we do get those few days in-between this heatwave, where it cools down a bit and we can really show some summer style.

I am falling head over heels with polka dots and lucky for me they are huge right now! I got that great pair of pastel blue cropped pants from Topshop @ The Bay (that are now on sale), I’ve picked up a perfect polka dot blouse from Joe Fresh (Joe Mimran is clearly loving them too for fall) and this great pleated skirt, which is super flirty and yet a classic piece.

Skirt & Shirt: Joe Fresh     Shoes: Browns      Rose Gold Bracelet: DIY   Purse: Roots

I know everyone doesn’t suffer like I do, I must have crazy sweet blood or something, but mosquitos love me, so summer nights outside, I make sure to cover up a bit. The rose gold DIY bracelet is really something I threw together while shopping in a hardware store, it’s really a simple piece of thin metal. I clearly have purchased most of the Joe Fresh SS12 collection as I’m loving the colours, prints and entire line!
(oh and it’s all on sale now! go kittens go!)
