The straw fedora is so popular this summer; I have to admit I have one too, which I bought at a flea market in Paris last summer, and love wearing it with everything from dresses to shorts and a t-shirt.
In Montreal hats were a popular accessory, too. Do you have a particular hat that you like to sport on a hot sunny day? (Images photohogger)
Headphones and Heels
Sorry for being MIA last week ladies; was in Montreal and will post some photos, soon! For now, here's a very cool girl as seen in Boston. Her heels were so high and she was struttin' so fast with her headphones on. Have you noticed a lot of people wearing big-a$$ headphones again? (Image photohogger)
Yellow Pants
I'm back from Boston! We had a wonderful time, would you believe it was 32-38°C there! Wow, amazingly hot. Absolutely loved it. I should have packed more shorts and t-shirts!
Here's a woman on Charles St. sporting some yellow pants. I had to get a shot of her with the yellow hydrant, yellow Penske truck and yellow flowers in the background. Is this something you would wear ladies? (Image photohogger)
Also, red pants.
Long Weekend. What to Pack?
Canada celebrated Victoria Day last weekend and since we were staycationing, I lounged around alternating between pjs, gardening attire (pjs) and more pjs, but this weekend we're off to Boston, so I'm wondering what to pack. And as it's Memorial Day for those south of the border a lot of you may be wondering the same!
Any plans for the weekend?
Also, as we're moving to Boston in August, this week is mostly all about looking for housing, so if you have any tips on good neighbourhoods, let me know!
See you in a week!
Luxemi
Refinery29 just annouced the launch of Luxemi.com, the online source for lovely indian clothing, which you can RENT from too. If you've ever been to an Indian wedding or function, you know how expensive those outfits can be, not to mention the accessories (which btw, they rent out, too!) and often times you'll only wear a sari, that you bought for $$$, once! Sign me up!

BIG Bows + PRABAL Gurung
Exciting that Prabal Gurung has a new collection at J.Crew. Although I'm not much of J.Crew fan, I do like me some bows, and this very limited edition (only 50 pieces made of some of the styles and some already sold out) is all "exploding" bows.
Pre-ordering happening right now, or available in store next week.
Get your bow on.
Katie did. Although not Prabal Gurung, but a Holmes & Yang top and skirt with a giant bow in her face.
What do you think about bows, big or small?

Pleats
I used to have a black pleated midi skirt that I gave away a long time ago. Don't you regret doing that when the style comes back? I love how graceful these pleated skirts look, and how perfect for summer?
What's your summer style? Are you a skirts and dresses person or a shorts and t-shirt person?

Michelle + Kate
Finally a post Royal Wedding event that I've we've all been waiting for.
The President and Michelle Obama visited Buckingham Palace and Kate and Wills were on hand to meet and greet them. Kate was wearing a gorgeous $340 Reiss dress (the Reiss website has apparently crashed now, due to the number of people trying to snag this dress for themselves) and looked stunning with a slight tan from their honeymoon in the Seychelles.
This photo is my favourite.

Yay, I'm so happy that Brittani Kline won America's Next Top Model! From humble beginnings growing up in a trailer park, Brittani really wowed the judges and rocked all the shoots as well as her Cover Girl commercial. I was rooting for her all along! (Image The CW/Nigel Barker)
Here she is at the CW TV Network's bash in NY. Love her cute pixie cut! (Images DailyMail)

J Brand
I have a pair of J Brand jeans; they do fit well, but not as well as Ginnifer here, rocking a pair of J Brand 910s in Pure ($159, ShopBop). She looks so good, doesn't she? Have you seen her in Something Borrowed, yet? I was wondering if she wore a wig in that film since her hair is short, and turns out it may be!

Paris Fashion
Now that the sun is finally shining, here's some inspiration from our summer in Paris. From the impeccable suits and bright colours to what I wore (flowery summer dress, oxfords and straw hat that we got at a flea market) while shopping (I scored a pair of Prada shoes!) in Paris. What's your go-to outfit for a hot summer's day? (All images photohogger)

One Shoulder
What do you think of the off-the shoulder or one shoulder trend? Is it something you'd wear?
I would, if I knew I could trust the one-shouldered bra!

Gingham
The sun is finally peeking out a bit today, so I have my thoughts set on summer and picnics. And gingham is perfect for summer picnics in the park. Sure, you might blend in with the table cloth, but that's not a bad look, right? :)
This is my favourite colour, blue and white and how I'd wear it.

Anthropologie, $88

Modcloth, no longer available, but so lovely!
Net-a-porter, J. Crew, $49
Gingham PANTS! From Sessun, super cute on this girl, here.

Cat Eye
Cat eye sunglasses are hot for Spring, but I'm really loving cat eye makeup for during the day and into the night. So retro and with a bit of nude lip for day and red lip for night...perfecto!
Is this something you would do, ladies?
