Fashion in the Forest

Since we have arrived in St. John's, the local people have been telling us that there is no Spring in Newfoundland. Instead, winter stays until summer arrives. However, last Thursday (Dominic's B-day), we were lucky enough to get a Spring day which we took advantage of by hanging out at the beach. I wore my new pleated midi skirt that I am absolultey smitten with.


When I ordered this skirt from Topshop, I had planned on wearing it with this Joe Fresh shirt. But when I threw the outfit on, just before I ran out the door, something just did not look right. In theory, this outfit should look great, I love both the shirt and the skirt but there is something, I am not sure what it is exactly, that just doesn't jive with me. But not to worry, I have lots of great plans for this skirt...... Does that ever happen to you??  

Dominic snapped a photo of me having a rock bath (the pebbles were so warm from the sun). 

This is me trying not to fall in the water. Such a great shot that I had to post it!

Love,
Karen


P.S - Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my sister, who is also my most avid reader and supporter of the blog!! I hope you have the most wonderful day and I can't wait for you to open your birthday gift from me as I am sure you are going to love love love it!!

Color Your World

One thing I learned on my semester abroad in Sweden, is that scarves are a necessity for every outfit!!! I mean not only do they keep you warm but they give your outfit that chic twist that makes you and your outfit unique!! Plus, who doesn't look fantastic with a little bit on color by their face!!  

So, if you are feeling like you need to update your wardrobe, just go out and buy a new scarf or an old thrifted one which nobody else will have, except you!! I found this gorgeous scarf at Winners and I can't seem to get enough of it. I love the multitude of colors and the Southwest Pattern which seem to  make every one of my outfits feel like Spring.

Almost Time For Sunnies!!

It almost looks like fall in these pictures, but nevertheless, it is Spring. Since it is our first Spring here in Newfoundland, we are never really sure what to expect from the weather, which I must say, has been quite sporadic. But regardless of the wind and the snow and the sleet and the rain, each cloud has a silver lining. In this case, the silver lining is the SUN which is getting consistently warmer and allowing me to wear my Sunnies which I desperately missed over the cold and cloudy winter!!
