Hello dear readers! I'm currently at the cottage on a week long vacation, away from all the city buzz, hopefully soaking up some rays and getting much needed vitamin D (with sun protection on, of course). There's zero cell phone reception or internet at my cottage which is one of the many reasons I love going there. Unfortunately that means an entire week off from blogging, outfit snapshots and retail therapy. Since I don't have an outfit for this week, I decided to use this opportunity for a style round-up and share some of my favourite summer outfits from last year.
I hope everyone is having a great week.
Thanks for reading.
As I came across these wise words from Rachel Zoe over the weekend, it got me thinking. . . when to splurge or save? Sometimes it can be difficult to know which items to splurge on and which to save on instead. I have come to realize that it's important to invest in the timeless items that every girl should have in her closet, like classic pumps, an ultra chic LBD, a classic designer handbag, tall boots and a leather jacket. What you should be saving on is blouses, graphic tees, blazers, fashion jewellery and the latest colour trend or fad of the season. When it comes to jeans, people tend to think that you need to spend lots of money for a good pair, but what's most important here is the fit. Sometimes the jeans that fit you the best are actually the most affordable.
Thank you for reading.

Happy Monday everyone! Let's start off the week with a few words of wisdom from Versace. When it comes to fashion and everything else in life, staying true to who you are is very important. This quote is a great reminder that you don't have to follow every new trend of the season. Choose what best suits you and enhances your own personal style and beauty.
