I brought this hat back from my Calgary storage. I don’t know how I got on without it….. And I am wearing this dress soooo much, it’s rediculously versatile. Life’s been good and very busy. I need to catch up on all my favorite blogs so I’m off to do that now while I have some time. 
I hope you are all having a lovely summer.
Sun Hat, Consignment: $5 Yellow Cardigan & Yellow Purse, Thrifted: $6 & $3
Maxi Dress & Red Ribboned Flats, H&M: $30 & $15
Such commitment to a retro style. I love everything about this outfit, the lemony yellow, the flower in her hair and particularly the car print on her playsuit. I also have a playsuit (thou it’s short shorts), in lilac with a tulip print. Since I have now owned it for 3 years and only worn it in my house, I think it HAS to come out this summer or I should give it up for someone who will appreciate it.

I imagine the funniest part of the Jewel Concert story is we decided to bus it to the theater to save $ on cab fares and be green. When getting off the bus Jenn got elbowed in the nose (hello wrestling match?) and the bus driver closed the door on me… um ouch? On the bus home we were accosted by a group of 19yr olds heading to a club dressed up like cowboys. And yes, accosted is the best word to describe it.
The bus = classy way to travel. lol
So anyway, at the Casino venue lounge Jenn & I were drinking Bellini’s and eating some fancy sandwiches prior to the show when our waitress informed us that concerts usually start on time. Show Time: 8pm, Current Time: 8:03pm!! Holy moly - so we paid the tab and rushed over. Luckily Jewel didn’t start until 5 minutes after we arrived. We had a fantastic view at 12th row, dead centre, no picture taking was allowed or I’d be sharing a butt load of pics (yes I said that). Jewel performed solo and acoustic, and told stories and jokes for almost 2 hours. Quite lovely indeed, we had such a fantastic time! She unfortunately did not include any songs off her ‘pop’ album, remember that? It’s when she had a song ‘Intuition’ that ended up on those leg razor commercials. She did however play songs from all her other albums and included an inspired version of ‘Needle & the Damage Done’ by Neil Young and an a cappella cover of Nina Simones ‘The Other Woman’. The complete set list is below.

Bed is where I want to be, after a crazy fun long weekend and restless sleeping. I promise more updates to come, I have some fabulous outfits to post!!
EDIT: I took off the question here since no one answered it. 
This girl is so rediculous cute, I am crazy about Colour Me!. I have been looking at the pictures for a few months now, I can’t say ‘reading’ as she writes in Finnish. Today her oversized polkadotted dress and Minnie Mouse bow were perfect for the Post of The Day. I highly recommend going through her archieves of adorableness.
Wore the floral skirt again (but truly the 1st outfit from yesterdays post I wore 10 days ago). It felt perfect with the baby blue cardigan and elephant purse I brought back from my storage. We caught the ferry over, browsed ALL the stores on Granville Island and bought cherries and a pineapple. I am so happy Jenn came to visit, she just left for home now and hopefully I’ll see her again soon. I will also do a post about the Ah-Maz-Ing Jewel concert we went to as well!

Love the jumper! Since I do not read French I just enjoy the pictures. This post is all about florals. Click the picture to be whisked away.
I forgot about this adorable top, and was quite excited when I found it in the back of my closet. Hence two outfits in close succession. Again, I have company that’s why these posts are fewer and a lil shorter. ;-) Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend and Happy Fourth of July Weekend to my American readers!!
Everyone slept in while I got up early and went to yoga. I got home and they are still sleeping…..hence I had a chance to check out Christian Dior’s Fall 2008 Couture Collection via Style.com. I’m especially loving the candy colored frothy dresses and the floaty aline skirts. Many of the looks are monochromatic, four of which I choose to feature. The sequins of this first dress is just like one I had for my barbie dolls. To live in this Edward Scissorhands world of pastels would be quite alright with me, luckily I just reattained my pastels cardigans in all these delicious colors. And yes please matching shoes for every outfit.
My friend Jenn is here for a visit this weekend, I will try to continue to post as I can but will not be reading the blogs and looking through the fabulous flickr photos til Monday.
What is it with Thursdays? I’m always in such a rush to leave the house. Though I am definitely happy with this 5 minute outfit. I am wearing my favorite accessory for the season….bare legs.
Red Orange Cardigan, Thrifted: $7
Cream Scarf, Le Chateau: $18
Leopard Print Skirt, Thrifted: $4
Heart Pendant, Gift.

Yes, I love FH Girls, her outfit is a dream but…….
I wanna see her shoes!!
I’m picturing wedges, beige gladiator flats or maybe even sky high snakeskin Jimmy Choo’s! What do you think she was wearing? and am I the only person bummed out by missing feet?
I had to lighten this photo to the right to show the delicious rainbow plaid. Having this item stowed away for 2 years I couldn’t wait another second to wear it out again. Perhaps with the amount of clothing I brought back I should have also left some behind (oops!). I think my closet will be okay if I donate away some lesser worn items.
Oh, and this fabulous heart pendant was a gift from my lovely friend Artsladivina, thank you so much! I love how it goes with everything.:-)

The weekend was more than I could’ve hoped for, that heatwave had perfect timing. Tomorrows posts will be back to fashion.
