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!!

Down the Block...

Our time in St. John's is quickly running out. I am actually having a hard time believing that in less than 3 weeks we will be gone from here forever. Over the short time that we have been here, I have fallen in love with the city, the culture, the amazing scenery on the Island and most of all, we have met some amazing friends which I will be really sad to leave. But I know that they will be our friends for a lifetime and we will definitely see them again. 

As I said before, I had very little space to pack for my trip out here so I am feeling a bit low on my clothing choices, especially necklaces of which I didn't bring any. So although I would have loved to wear a fabulous necklace with this outfit...it is what it is - plain and classic. 

Sweater: BCBG

Skirt: United Colors of Benetton

Shoes: Dolce Vita

P.S- This post is a glimpse of what our street looks like as each photo was taken at a different spot on our block.

Timber Timbre

Halloween is just around the corner and St.John's is buzzing with all sorts of eerie activities in anticipation of the scariest day of the year. One such event, which we are attending this evening, is the Band "Timber Timbre". Known for their dark sound, their appropriately titled album "Creep on Creepin' On" will be sure to impress.  I can't wait!! 



Happy Saturday,

Karen

Back in Beautiful St.John's

After six months of bee keeping in Saskatchewan, Dominic and I are back in Beautiful St.John's, Newfoundland! And since Dominic came 2 weeks before me, I was more than elated to be back here!! Sadly, we will only be in St.John's until the end of December at which time Dominic will be finished his Masters of Science. Since we are here for such a short time, we are going to try and take in as much as this amazing little city has to offer!! Our October and November schedule is quickly filling up with great shows, some dinner parties with some wonderful friends and even some cultural events!! But don't worry, I will be sure to keep you posted on the happenings around here!!

Love,

Karen
