Inspiration: Beat the Heat II

For the most part, it's been a fairly balmy & humid summer here in Southern Ontario.  With that said, I thought I'd share some more summer inspiration that's accumulated on my desktop the past few months.  Enjoy!

Tropical-inspired nails

Endless pools

GI Jane vs. Rainbow Bright

These were taken last week during the heat wave when neon seemed like an appropriate choice.  Neon and camo? A little bizarre I will admit, but I seem to be drawn to unorthodox combinations of print and color...

Glory Days

Such a perfect, breezy Monday morning.  I'm suited up in most things F21, with this scarf being the newest member of the family.  This cardigan, although you can't really tell, is a soft shade of pink that somehow seemed to tone down said scarf a bit & completely fit in with the whole light-shade color scheme I have going on...

Photo Friday: One for the Memory Books

Happy Friday!  This summer has been fantastically busy & last weekend was no exception.  My parents were up for a visit & my liver is the only thing thankful they went back home ;)  Here are a few photos from last week....

Lazy Summer Days

You know those days that are so disgustingly hot that it's a serious struggle to even get dressed? This was most definitely one of them.  I picked the easiest combination of clothing & accessories, most of which only lasted a few hours any way...

Inspiration: Paris

I woke up to an overcast, chilly morning & needed to plan an imaginary vacation.  I've determined that Paris is a dream destination for most of the female population, most likely due to the romantic vibe that is so often portrayed there (the fashion & wine don't hurt either).  For those of you who have actually been, I'm jealous & for those of us who are still awaiting this trip of a lifetime, let's stat saving...

Sophisticated Cowgirl

Just a little western-inspired look for a Tuesday morning.  I've worn this skirt more than I should admit lately- it just seems to go with everything, which is not such a surprising thing when your a border-line clothing hoarder like myself ;)
