What and Where
What do you do when there's only a few sweet weeks of summer left? Don't get me wrong, I love fall, I love its fashion, the colours, the endless possibilities of layering, the different colours and styles of boots, oh the leathery beauty of boots! But I'm a fair weather friend, no, I'm a super hot sunny weather friend. Between scalding hot and freezing cold, I will slurp that boiling soup in my mouth and risk third degree burn rather than stick my tongue out to lick the icy pole even if you dare pay me with the latest classic trench coat from Banana Republic. Wait, did you say you will pay me with the latest classic trench coat from Banana Republic? Well, in that case...
Remember last weekend when we whisk ourselves away to the glorious Mont Tremblant? We stayed for three days and since the weather was beautiful and summer perfect, the mostly floral dresses I packed were just perfect. I know they are not the most styled outfits to date but they are simple and portable. I am leaving for Montréal tomorrow for work so my packing won't be as light, suit pants and suit jacket in the summer? Eck! Nonetheless, I am excited to go as Montréal is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with stylish women walking all around town and it boasts of a long street and an underground mecca of retail stores and designer brands.
But back to summer talk today: What would you wear for a carefree weekend getaway? Better yet, if you were to be stranded on a deserted island, what would you wear? The always gorgeous Sabina at Pixie Dust has offered one more good reason for us to dress up - a style challenge! I believe its a great way to shop into your closet, get creative and have some fun while looking oh so fashionable!

What a fun trip! I love the look of you in the dress with the fedora! I'm a big fan of summertime as well and will be sad when it's over. But I do like the boots and sweater options of fall too.

Thank you SO much for mentioning me and my new Challenge :)) I'm so grateful you're helping me spread the word gorgeous, it's great to have such fab readers!!! <3
Hooray for three outfits in one post! I love your dresses, but your first look is awesome with the shorts and boots.
As much as I love summer, it's been unbearably hot here in Georgia, that I'm wishing for fall to come quickly. Our summer temperatures started in March, and I'm ready for it to be cool so I can experiment more with my wardrobe.
Btw, I love BR's trenchcoats!
All thumbs up to all the outfits sweetie! But i just can't stop admiring the first one. It's sunny but cool indeed... Love it to bits ;)
Oh please J, please send some Georgia sun over to Canada! We get real cold here in the winter!
Sab, I think you will have a tremendous amount of e-mails for your style challenge soon!
As for fall ladies, I am looking for a pair of Tall Riding Boots, preferably in Chestnut or Cognac... seen one you like lately? Maybe at newly opened Santa Monica Place?
That hat in the first picture is totally sassy and adorable! I'm not much of a hat wearer (read: my head is huge and it's hard to find hats that fit), but I adore this one. A big high five coming your way for all the great outfits, so much style in just one post!
