fair-weather friend

I came across this old photo the other day, and couldn't believe I'd forgotten about this day.

Was this Grade 8? I'm so young here!

I was so into chunky knitwear then, especially Fair Isle, and still am.

This is the perfect pic for today's post as Cowichan and Fair Isle knits are big this fall/winter.

As the weather gets colder, bundle yourself up in a chunky sweater for an effortless look.

Other knit accessories such as scarves, boots, and handbags are another way to incorporate a little nordic-chic into your look.

Aren't these gold heels kick-ass? Perhaps even a little too whimsical?

The three year-old fairy princess in me is coveting them.

And the nineteen year-old me really wants them too.

She She Shoes in Trounce Alley is my kryptonite.

Whenever I walk by, I alwaysalwaysalways fall in love with something which I can never afford.

But hey, a girl can dream.

Don't these two make a very stylish duo?

These ladies make it look easy to be chic, and their complimentary outfits are
a great mix of wardrobe staples and fantastic accessories.

Love the purses, Ladies!

I was sad to leave after such a great weekend.

Last night was the big Reunion Barbeque at Dinner Bay.

We played badminton on the lawn, walked the enormous Japanese garden and sang the night away. Great food, friends, and family!

I can't wait to come back!
