A few weeks back, husband & I decided to pack in our work day and head out for a mid-day adventure. It was exactly what this over-worked gal (that be me) needed! We spent the afternoon lying in the grass (sea-side), chatting about life, taking sweet photos, and all the while we had our pooch happily sleeping next to us! Apparently he adores fun little adventures too. Ah, what a blissful afternoon!
We spent a bit of our time walking around the market, but not nearly as much as we would have liked; we were in a decidedly lazy mood! Our excursions have been far & few this summer; however, with hubby off work for the next three weeks, we certainly plan to make up for it! Historic towns, quaint little shops, ice cream parlors, here we come -eek, I seriously can’t wait. Don't you guys just adore summer?!
After starring at my closet for far too long, I decided on this simple look. My favourite downtime outfit is a loose tank, long cardy, skinnies, and a fun little hat! As much as I love fashion and getting all glammed up, I also appreciate outfits that allow for fun & spontaneity because I'm the kind of gal who likes to roll around in the grass and splash about in ocean waves.
Outfit Details:
Hat & Cross Body Bag - H&M
Sunglasses - Marc Jacobs
Cardy - Thrifted
Tank - Wilfred
Jeans - American Eagle
Pendant- ModCloth
Wising you guys a fun & fabulous week, filled with carefree summer days!! xo veronika

This looks like a great week-end indeed. I really love your casual day outfit; even though it's a jeans and T-shirt type of outfit at its core, you managed to make it look very well put-together. I wish I had such good accessorizing skills too. :)

ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I always get a little excited when pooch shows up in your posts- my love of fuzzy animals isn't exactly a secret and he is one handsome guy. Which means he fits right in with the rest of your gorgeous family! You look so lovely and natural in these photos. I think I need to take some of your casual styling tips to heart, I could really use a dose of practicality in my wardrobe :) So sorry you weren't able to make it yesterday, we all missed you. But there will definitely be a next time!
ReplyDeletexox,

Yayy, Lonsdale Quay and Waterfront Park! I spent so much time in those places growing up! That's a perfect outfit for Vancouver's somewhat passive-agressive, "hot but not" weather, and I really like your hat!
ReplyDeleteYou, pup & hub are too cute for words!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day! I love and miss Vancouver so much. :-)
ReplyDeleteI adore your outfit; soft, carefree and chic. :-)
