Happy Tuesday mi amigas! I didn’t realize it at the time but this whole look I pulled together is a bit Americana, non? I’m a Canadian through and through but I’m not going to lie, I’ve always dreamt of how amazing it’d be to have dual citizenship so that I could live and work in some of my favourite cities across the border, so maybe this is a little repressed dream expressing itself sartorially.
I’m taking my time with the job prowl but still plugging along with it, though I’m trying to enjoy as much of the amazing weather we’ve been having here in Vancouver while I can! If there’s one thing that I really, really missed (other than my dog, family and friends) it was the beautiful Pacific, so I’ve returned to my life as a beach bum and will be continuing to splash around the ocean and work on my tan until further notice (and by that I mean until I start working). How did you all spend your Labour Day weekend? Did you go away at all or did you opt for a staycation like I did?
Also, don’t forget to sign up for my Poshlocket jewellery giveaway, which ends Friday – you actually have the chance to win a prize from my lookbook or Katie’s or Megan’s, so enter now! It’s super easy to get in the running, all the rules are listed in this post and on the Poshlocket blog.
Have a great Tuesday 🙂

I love your shorts! I don't have any fun shorts like this. I mean, I have colors but no patterns. My shorts are boring.

Haha I love staycations! Who can resist the beauty of sunny Vancouver? Thankfully the weather forecast for the initial weeks in September looks really good – YAY!! This gives you plenty of time to catch some rays and enjoy the ocean breeze.

Hey love! Sorry I've been absent from here for a while – this year has been crazy for me after I decided to study postgrad fulltime and somehow work parttime at the same time (Don't ask me how that works lol) Missed you, I can see I have a lot to catch up on here, looks like your blog has absolutely blossomed! Been getting peeks through your Instagram 🙂 Congrats on the beautiful lookbook in your last(?) post! Absolutely stunning as usual, and love love that you're wearing my favourite colour here so fantastically!

I know just what you mean about the dual citizenship dream, pally – I'm desperately trying to convince Ian that if we can't stay in Paris, NYC has to be the next stop on this tour. We'll see how that goes 😉 Love your shorts. Definitely perfect for a decidedly pulled together beach bum! Hope the job hunt is going well! Miss your beautiful face already.
xox,

Loooove that color combo – so pretty!

It's not tooo american, I love the soft blue on you. And those shorts are really really cute. I would love to spend a weekend splashing around the ocean! My weekend was spent in NYC so I can't complain at all 🙂
