I've been on a little bit of a hiatus. Not to be a debby downer, but it dawned on me that we are halfway through August, which means summer is slowly coming to an end. As such, I spent most of my time attempting to squeeze in as many "summer activities" as I can while catching up with my father and laughing endlessly with both him and my sister. A refreshing and welcomed after long hours spent at work.
I saw this dress at I Miss You Vintage, and knew immediately that I had to have it. The colour alone was enough to sell me, and I could envision it with simple black and gold accents. What's not to love about a vibrant emerald green that brightens the dreariest of days? Also love the structured shoulders, faux pockets, mid-length skirt and silk material. No effort required here in looking put together.
Photobucket says I've gone over my bandwidth limit. Is there ever such a thing?! Should be back on track tomorrow they say *fingers crossed*
Nothing like sushi on a nice patio to start off the weekend. Hope you're all having the most pleasant week.
Bisous,
Abs

OMG I knew you were in Toronto. I am so happy to see another awesome Toronto fashionista. you won't believe me but I actually texted my boy and told him. The main reason I started blogging is so that I could meet other people who dressed with style and somewhat similar to me.
I am going to jump on your follower bandwagon, will you follow my posts and stay in touch???
These photos are great!! Hope you've been having fun and making the most of the end of summer :)
have a fantastic weekend!!

THis color is fantastic!! Photobucket only allows you to use a certain amount of bandwith a month - so the next rolling month it will readjust.

@Trishna: It's great to see so many Toronto bloggers! Thanks for following :) I'll most definitely be stopping by you again soon ;)
@Caroline: I have most definitely been trying to. Grey weather right now isn't leaving me with a lot of room.
@Jessica: September IS next week! Yikes! When you put it in perspective like that.....
@mademoiselle: super duper jealous! Just got back from London a couple of months ago. Right now I'm studying in Toronto but I go back to London for the holidays to spend time with ma familia
@Tywo: I love you right back! That sucks that you can't make it to Toronto. Hope you were able to make the most of your time in Peoria
@Fashion Intel: I'm glad I found you and you found me right back :)
@Ashley: thanks babe. Now I know I'll try not to upload so many photos!
@Eliwer: I'm gonna live forever! Thanks :)
@Raven: oh, thank you! Photos can be deceiving though. I definitely have my awkward moments. My sister gets a kick out of it when she takes my photos!
@COralie and Laura Holland: I would say to maybe check your local vintage or thrift stores? I'll let you know if I find something similar online
@natalia: oh yes it is! U of T pride woot! I love the Danforth. Wish I was able to spend more time there this summer.
