Free as a Bird

I love coming home to Saskatchewan's wide open prairie. There is something about the vastness that makes me feel so free. Like there is an entire world of endless possibilities just waiting to be discovered! I must admit however, that sitting on the beach looking out into the open ocean gives me the same feeling. Whenever  I am feeling a bit homesick for Saskatchewan, I find a little spot on the beach and stare out onto the horizon! I know that a lot of people are scared by wide open spaces and prefer to be surrounded by trees or mountains. Where do you feel most comfortable? 

I am sure that you must be getting sick of seeing me in these red jeans but I really have been wearing them a lot as they seem to go with absolutely everything.

Snow Day!!!

One of my favorite things about St.John's is the Snow Day. A Snow Day is when it snows so much over night that the entire city shuts down until the roads can be cleared and people can get out of their houses. Yesterday, was a snow day which meant that we basically had a weekend during the week. If you can believe it, all of the snow in these pictures came in just one day!! Anyways, I took advantage of the snow day by going shopping and I actually bought my Christmas/New Years dress which I am so excited to wear!! After our little shopping excursion we met some friends at the pub for nachos and chatted the day away by watching the snow lightly fall!! It was a perfect day!!

Happy Weekend,

Karen

Fall's Top Trends - Colored Jeans

If you have been shopping in the past few weeks, I am sure that you noticed one of Fall's brightest trends - colored jeans! When we were in Vancouver this summer, I fell in love with a J-Brand pair of red jeans. I reluctantly left the beautiful red jeans at the Aritzia store because I felt like $210 was a bit pricy for jeans that I will probably get sick of before they wear out. I thought that on the off chance that I might be able to find them cheaper somewhere else.


Fast forward a few weeks to when Dominic and I were in Mexico. Since Dominic was attending a conference, I had an ample amount of time to go shopping. If anyone has ever spent time in a large Mexican city, you will know that the shopping in amazing due to the abundance of stores owned by Spanish clothing giant Indetex.  While I was familiar with Zara, Mango and Berschka, I was delighted to find that they had another store called Pull and Bear. The store, which offers clothes similar to Zara's trf is where I found my red jeans for only $30!!!

I picked up this little gem of a purse in Mexico at a little leather stand. It was handmade in the state of Chiapas and is genuine leather.
