Cottage Clothes

Although I like to pretend I am a big city girl, I must confess that I do enjoy takign a break from the city lights. Last weekend, Dominic and I stayed over night at our friend's cottage in a quaint little town outside of St. John's. They have the most amazing yellow cottage that over looks the ocean and they are the most hospitable people I know. We ate some amazing food including fish tacos and waffles for breaky and we even went for a boat ride on the mean old north Atlantic. I have to say the cold waters scared me a bit and I was glad to be back on dry land again. Anyways, this was my cottage ensemble which I thought suited the occasion perfectly! Do you have a special place you go to get out of the city? And if you do, what do you like to wear??

Plaid Shirt: Roots

Sweater: Dear Creatures

Jeans: Black Orchid

Boots: Hunters

This is their cottage that they like to call, "The Yellow House".

The cottage has the most adorabel matching barn where the fire wood is stored.

The Zodiac we took out on the water!!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. My parents are coming here for a visit so we are really looking forward to seeing them and showing them around St.John's!!

Love,

Dear Creatures

I bought my first ever dear creatures item when we were in Vancouver a few weeks ago. Well, actually Dominic bought me  a  sweater but it is for Christmas and he won't let me wear it until then. So, as I have been anxiously awaiting Christmas day I have been thinking about all of the wonderful places I will go wearing this sweater!! I think I will start by wearing it on Christmas morning - it will be perfect as my opening presents gift, then I will wear it as we make out trek across the country to unknowns of Newfoundland, and once we are there I will wear it on our first cross country skiing adventure. I have come to the conclusion that it will be absolutely perfect for the brisk days of the holiday season!!

The Highland Cardigan

In the mean time, I have been checking out the other items from Dear Creatures which are also amazing. Vintage inspired, the entire line has sorta of a sixties vibe and I am loving the nautical feel. Plus, it is so great to support an independent clothing line as it seems they are almost becoming extinct!! SO here are a few of my faves from the winter line which I think would be perfect for the holiday season to keep you warm and stylish!!
