THE FINE BALANCE: Stripes

Showing posts with label Stripes. Show all posts

North & Navy

As with most things in life, every one needs a bit of balance, sometimes an outright hiatus, even if its from things we love. I've been stepping back from blogging lately not because I don't love this art form, but because life sometimes takes over and a choice has to be made on whether I'll get in that late run, or sit in front of the computer.

But the reality is, that I have trully missed this. I'd like to promise that I will be blogging more frequently, but I would rather not make false promises. This is on my mind and my goal is to start slow with at least another post this month.

I do have some exciting news and I know that I will be bringing you a different side to the blog, that hasn't been featured before. I am taking three months off to explore South East Asia. Can't wait to start bringing you posts on what to pack, what to leave behind, and my adventures on the road. One thing I know for sure, these mint green heels won't be making the cut.

I hope you all are enjoying your summer!

Stripes & Solids Take 2

Every once in a while, I have an inspiration block (i.e. when "winter is coming"). The last few months have been no exception. I've been on permanent defrost since mid-October. Though I have some great holiday inspired outfits, I needed to "feel" warm again. Enter fall throwback. I took these pictures back in October and finally felt a calling to post them, I mean how cute is that elephant necklace?

Solids & Stripes

Its a few days shy of spring and I was looking forward to retiring some of the darker colours in favour of pastels, lace and mint. Instead, I woke to a rude awakening: snow! And..10 CM of it... I had just tucked away my winter boots, in favour of the more flimsy variety but sadly they had to be pulled out again…that and my winter gear in all its Michelin tire splendour… – not that I am bitter or anything.

There's nothing like an EveryBody EveryWear Challenge to get Kat and I to dress in similar outfits on the same day, down to the blue and white stripes. This months Nautical theme has me getting ready to set sail with the classic blues, whites and reds.
