It's Wednesday! The weekend is almost here!!! I don't know about you, but this week has been going by super slow for me. I'm sure the fact that I'm visiting Brandon in Michigan this weekend has something to do with it. I'm just so anxious for Friday to arrive. So much so that time has decided to work against me!! Isn't that usually how it works?? I suppose I shouldn't complain too much since there are only a few more weeks left of summer. 

On to some fashion talk. Mixing the old with the new is a great way to revive old favorites, like this floral dress that I purchased last summer (previously worn here). If you have a last minute event and you're too busy to shop or you're a girl on a budget (like me), this is the perfect solution. Luckily for me, remixing items from my closet is one of my favorite things to do! It's such a great way to get the most from your wardrobe! 

A few weekends ago, I attended a baby shower. I really didn't have the time to shop for a new outfit beforehand so I mixed and matched a few items from my closet and  . . . Voila!  



This dress always makes me feel so feminine and pretty which I thought was very fitting for a Baby Shower.

As my countdown to Fall continues, what better way to resume wrapping up the Summer season than dinner out with Shenni and a Street Festival? Saturday evening, Shenni and I ate dinner at Bali Restaurant, which is one of my favorite downtown hot spots. Afterwards, we stuck around for some fun on the street at Buskerfest! This is definitely my favorite summer festival. Super fun, super entertaining and . . . it's free! Ha! Of course, I always give money to my favorite performers. :) 

This is the outfit I wore that evening. White jeans are definitely a summer wardrobe staple. They are a bit cooler than blue denim which can come in handy on a hot summer day. Another wardrobe staple is this striped blazer. Stripes are so versatile. They can be casual or dressed up and super fun when mixed with patterns like lace and floral prints. 




This peach lace top is one of the items I purchased for my Florida trip earlier this summer. I fell in love with the color and the scalloped hem. :)




The black ankle strap heels (gift from Brandon) are a new addition to my shoe collection. I am in love and absolutely obsessed with these shoes. Thank you loving boyfriend who spoils me with hugs and kisses and . . . fancy shoes! I'm a lucky gal!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far. Mine is off to a good start. I'm well rested, I have a cup of coffee in my hand and I got my daily fix of fashion inspiration. I'm ready to face the day! Ha! I have a few things planned for this weekend, starting with a Baby Shower this afternoon, followed by some fun in the street at Buskerfest (which is our annual festival  featuring professional street performers from all over the globe). Thankfully the sun is shinning bright so it should be a good day! 

On to the outfit. Fall is fast approaching which means the days and especially the evenings are getting cooler. Unfortunately, it hasn't been a super hot summer for those of us here in Ontario. We've had a few really hot days but overall it's definitely been on the cooler side so I've had to wear jackets and blazers throughout the summer. This casual maxi skirt and striped tank can easily take you from a warm summer day to a cool summer night when paired with a leather jacket.

Happy Friday everyone! I can't believe August is here. There's only one more month left of warm summer days SO I better make the most of it while it lasts, starting with this weekend! 

This upcoming Monday is a holiday for us over here in Canada, and I plan on taking full advantage of my long weekend. Brandon will be joining me at the cottage, and weather permitting, I plan on spending the entire weekend in my bikini, stretched out in my hammock, with my shades on, my camera at arm's length (because you never know when a good photo opp can happen), a book in my lap and watermelon to nibble on! Ha! :)

So Shenni came to my rescue once again this week. We plan on making this a weekly thing so I'll be able to update my blog more often. No more disappearing acts (fingers crossed).
