<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Gina Tricot recently opened an online store!!! However, this trendy store, which is based out of Sweden only ships throughout Europe. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">While this is unfortunate for those of us that live in North America, we will just have to wait for them to expand their shipping horizons. But, lucky for me I have a brother in law that lives in France and has agreed to let me ship some clothes there!! Yay!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So when I saw the Ellen Coat, I was absolutely thrilled as it is an amazing cut and the price is definitely right! I love the oversized look of the coat, I just hope that I ordered the right size! I will keep you updated!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">If you love the look of this cut and you live in North America, Zara has a navy blue wool coat that has a very similar cut!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Even though it is only September, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am starting to really miss summer</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">. So, I have been looking for some art that would be a constant reminder of the hot, sunny, summery days. This photo, from </span><a href="http://www.20x200.com/artworks/4117-ian-baguskas-waiting"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">20X200</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">, titled 'Waiting' emanates the very essence of surfing and reminds me of the countless hours I spent sitting on the beautiful sunny beaches in the endless summer of Mexico watching my husband surf!! Plus, I think it would look great in our white on white house!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The military trend is super big for Fall 2012 and as a result camo is quickly becoming one of this season's top prints. This super versatile camouflage cotton jacket can be paired with just about anything from a little dress to leggings!! The camo jacket gives a a hard edgy look when worn with a pretty feminine dress and when worn with the pants, the jacket emanates a casual military style (which is all the rage this season). And since this seasons camo jacket is meant to be on the baggy side, it is great for layering and perfect for fall. </span></div>

Although I will miss the hot days of summer, Fall is by far my favorite fashion season! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I know that I have been MIA for most of the summer season, but sometimes life just happens and before I knew it, summer was over and I hadn't made any posts on the blog. But now that I am getting an itch for fall shopping, I am also feeling an urge to blog again as it keeps me (and hopefully you) inspired.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have been searching up and down the internet for the perfect leather jacket for fall. And I came across this Trouve Quilted Leather Biker Jacket from Nordstrom. I love the burgundy color, the detail on the shoulders and not to mention the price point, which is amazing. This may be a winner!! What do you think? Black or Burgundy?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We are back at our sweet little summer cottage and w</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">e were lucky enough to arrive home just in time for the lilac bloom. The white lilacs, which are from our back garden, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">have made the perfect decoration these last few weeks. So if you are looking to create that white on white effect, nothing is easier than cutting some fresh flowers from your garden and putting them in a vase or even a glass canning jar which I used.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As I have mentioned numerous times before, my brother is getting married this summer. You may remember that I fell in love with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><a href="http://rubytuesdayfashionanddesign.blogspot.ca/2012/04/la-serena.html">this dress</a></span> but I finally came to the realization that I couldn't afford it. But not worry, I found another really pretty but basic navy blue silk dress at Club Monaco. And although navy blue is not really a summer color and it is definitely not the color of the season, I think that a few trendy accessories will give the dress an updated modern look. I actually think that this rule would apply to any classic black or navy blue dress - hence the little black dress that lasts for years and can still turn heads!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The key is to choose accessories that were inspired by one of the major trends of the season. This summer, I have been inspired by desert, Navajo, bohemian chic trend which has an amazing color pallet that often combines blues and corals. And when I saw these amazing Sigerson Morison tangerine shoes at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">T</span><a href="http://www.theblock.ca/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">he Block</span></a> in Vancouver I just knew that they would be the perfect contrast to the navy blue as they will add that little bit of umph that is missing from the dress.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Due to our busy and slightly different work schedules, Dominic and I have not had much time to hang out together since we moved to Vancouver Island. So, this weekend, we decided to take a bit of time off and we took a drive to the West Coast where we visited Tofino and Bamfield, both of which are known as 'end of the line towns', meaning that they are as far West as you can go in Canada. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We have spent alot of time in Tofino and we love it for its laid-back surfing culture and great restaurants. Bamfield, however was a completely new experience as we have never been there before. And after the 2.5 hour drive on a bumpy, steep, dusty gravel road we were elated to end up at the treasure of a town. Full of sweet little cottages over looking the Pacific Ocean, Bamfeild is full of west coast charm and old growth forest and an amazing group of funny, educated and environmentally friendly locals!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our little holiday was made even better by the fact that we met our wonderful friends, Mark and Shanti, in Bamfield. We first met this beauty of a couple in Newfoundland about a year and a half ago but it feels like we have known them forever. And since we have not seen them since Christmas, it was so nice to see them in their element as we spent the weekend hanging out with them in their home town of Bamfield. While Shanti and I had some quality girl time hiking around nearby beaches, Dominic and Mark went surfing to some boat access only spots. All in all, we had an amazing weekend with lots of good food and good conversation. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On the first day of our mini holiday, we had some amazing Island weather as it was sunny and 29 degrees. As such, I thought it would be the perfect occasion to pull out my CM linen poncho which is currently my favorite item in my closet. And although I will probably not be attending any festivals this summer, this outfit was inspired by the Sasquathch, a music festival that occurred in Washington this past weekend. And since a true festival look is all about accessorizing, I threw on a few friendship bracelets and and my new ring! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Maxi skirts are quickly becoming one of the most popular trends this season. I for one am definitely jumping on the maxi train as they are not only stylish but they are super functional for the following reasons. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">First, a good maxi skirt will keep you cool during the hot summer days and warm for the cool Canadian nights. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Second, although they encompass a lot of material, maxi skirts create the most amazing hour glass figure leaving just enough to the imagination. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Third, there are so many amazing prints out there so your options for the perfect maxi dress will be endless.</span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Finally, I will leave you with one more tip, make sure you get the right length skirt for your body. If you are going for a floor length make sure it just touches the floor but doesn't drag behind you. If the skirt is a little shorter, go for an ankle length look but be sure that it covers your ankles and wear some super cute shoes/boots to make it look like it is supposed to be that long. So, get out there and find the perfect on for you! I picked up this skirt at Zara and not only is the cut amazing but the print in right on trend! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I think that walking is the best form of transportation, at least for short distances. Not only is it great for the environment, but it is also a great form of exercise which keeps the body looking great and most important healthy. I TRY to walk as much as possible but there is just one problem with that...my shoes tend to wear our really fast. And even though I may not be ready to get rid of my old shoes, it is always great to get some new shoes! I recently came to the conclusion that a pair of frye flats I always ware are completely worn out as they hurt my feet every time I wear them. Yesterday, I replaced them with these cute little minnetonka moccasins! They are called the El Paso and must say that I love the extra modern aztec detail! What are you wearing on your feet these days?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I woke up this morning to a dreary, rainy and cold day and since I had a few old bananas kicking around I decided to bake some banana bread for breakfast. I must say that there are few better things than warming up the house with the comfort of banana bread. And the best part is that it makes the house smell wonderful all day long! Here is the recipe I used in case you might like to do the same! Enjoy!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We have been so busy lately that we haven't had much time to do any photo shoots. But alas, we managed to make time for some photos and even though it was raining, the pretty pink cherry blossoms seem to exude happiness. I have really been enjoying Spring on the West Coast as the weather has been amazingly warm and the flowers seem to brighten each day!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have to say that I am absolutely in love with this dress. Since I got it over a month ago, I have worn it so many times. The open back and the twirling factor make me feel like a ballerina, and an age appropriate one at that! Hope you are enjoying the spring flowers as much as I am!! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What are your thoughts on the silk pajama pant trend? At first, I wasn't so sure that I liked it but it seems to be growing on me. And now that Club Monaco is carrying a great pair of grey silk pajama pants, I am starting to think about how they can be worn. First off, I think they will be pretty versatile piece in anyones wardrobe, as they can be worn with a tank on hot days or a long sleeved silk button up shirt when it cools down at night! Second, since the pants are pretty loose and flowy, I think it is going to be key to wear a slim fitting shirt on the top. Not only will this give your body some definition but it will also help to create the desired pajama pant look of the season!! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We are almost finished renovating our little Swedish Cottage in Saskatchewan. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am absolutely thrilled with how the renovations turned out as the house has successfully been transformed into a Swedish Cottage in the heart of Saskatchewan. But now that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">the house looks so good from the inside and out, it has made our backyard look a bit barren. And even though we have done a bit of work outside, I think the backyard could use a full make-over.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Since our house is pretty tiny, we use our backyard as an extension of our house, almost like another room. As such, I think it is important the backyard theme flows with that of the inside. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As you all know, our house is decorated in a white on white Swedish cottage theme, so I would like to keep that cottage feel in the backyard as well. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I love the serene cottage vibe that these gardens invoke and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I would love to have my backyard garden look like this one day! Do you like to spend time in your backyard? </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I hope you all had a great weekend. We spent the past few days on the mainland visiting with my grandpa and aunt. I grew up seeing my grandpa every day and it is such a treat to have him so close to us here on the West Coast. I feel so lucky to still have my grandparents as they have so much wisdom to share and so many lessons to teach! Were you close to your grandparents when you were growing up? </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am super excited that my youngest brother is getting married this summer. The wedding is going to take place in a beautiful meadow overlooking the rocky mountains. I have recently started to look for the perfect dress to go with setting I think that it would be nice for the dress to be flowy, maybe a pretty pastel, but definitely elegant. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I was super happy when I found this pleated chiffon dress from Tibi as fits all of my dress requirements. Plus, this dress would also be the perfect way to indulge in the <a href="http://www.style.com/trendsshopping/trendreport/010912_Trend_Report/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Oceans Trend</span></a> that is so big this summer. Accessorized with coral accents, the mermaid vibe that this outfit emanates might just be the perfect contrast for the summer mountain meadow! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have been swooning over Madewell's Spring 2012 collection. With a bit of a Parisian vibe, I love the all of the pastels, especially the pink jeans, which are on my list of things to buy this spring/summer. And what about those overalls? I think I could live in them on my days off this summer! What do you think?</span></div>

Despite the fact that most salons now give free bang trims, I don't really enjoy the entire experience of going into the salon, sitting in the chair etc. There are just so many other things that I would rather be doing. So instead of going in for bang trims in between my hair cuts, I have been cutting my own bangs. I thought I would share a quick tutorial on how to trim your own bangs as I also learned alot from it! Have you or would you ever trim your own bangs?</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I hope you all had a great Easter weekend. Dominic and I definitely had a great time as my parents-in-law came out to the coast for a visit. While they were here we</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> took a high speed ferry over to Seattle, Washington. And although we didn't see the Easter Bunny, I must say that Seattle is one of the most diverse and refreshing cities I have ever been to. We ate some delicious meals, in some pretty cool restaurants/bars, while listening to some grunge music, in some pretty rad areas. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Oh yeah, the shopping was also fantastic!! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I was even introduced to a few new stores, such as All Saints. Although I have previously seen All Saints on-line, it was the first time that I have actually ever been in an All Saints store and I fell in love with almost everything, especially the outer wear. The leather jackets were amazing as were the desert parkas. Although I didn't end up buying either, as they were both fairly hefty purchases, I can't get them off my mind, so I thought I would share them with you. I am deciding between these two leather jackets (the strabler or the walker). If I had tons of money...I would just buy them both.....Which one do you prefer?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This weekend was the first real time that it felt like spring. The sun was shining, the skies were blue and it seemed like the entire city was out enjoying the weather. And like everybody else, so were we!! We had the most lovely weekend in the sun....walks on the beach, coconut ice cream (our favorite), and of course a few BBQs. Plus, we managed to squeeze in some photos in which I must compliment Dominic on his photo taking abilities (isn't he amazing?). </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Taking cues from boxy lines, slouchy linen trousers and crop tanks, Built By Wendy's Spring Summer Collection would be the perfect collection for any summer occasion. Inspired by the brilliant hues of turquoise and smokey blue enlivened by hints of pastels, pinks and brightly colored yellows, the collection envokes images of the Greek Islands of Santorini. There are so many pieces in this collection that I am dying to buy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I hope you have some big plans for the weekend! Dominic and I are attending a few events and I hope that we will be able to fit in some time for a photo shoot or two. I have some new clothes that I am just dying to share with you! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In lieu of of my own outfit posts I thought I might share some of these inspirational outfits with you! I was thinking that if I had an inspiration board, I would like to hang them on it! On that note, if I have time this weekend, I may try to make my own inspirational board - I will keep you updated!</span></div>
