Walk it Off


I got home from Montreal last night after a wonderful little (extended) weekend there, I took a few photos and will post them in the next few days to give you a taste. It really is a gorgeous city, the architecture is what killed me, I`m a sucker for old stone buildings and copper roofs. I spent the majority of Saturday just strolling around getting (purposefully) lost and imagining myself living in the cutest little apartments!


 I did a fair bit of window shopping, but was able to flex my restraint muscles quite well and only caved on a few perfect items, one of which is this sweater. I know, it`s taupe. Surprise, surprise. I even had a conversation with myself (in franglish!) in the change room to try and talk myself out of it but then it just said `Louise, Je suis beau. Vous avez besoin de moi.` and that was it. SOLD! And I`ve barely taken it off since, parfait! 
Sweater: Urban Outfitters
Shorts: Le Chateau
Shoes: Pierre Hardy for Gap
Flower Headband: Smart Set
Necklace: From the Earth
Turquoise Bracelet: Stella & Dot
Assorted Bangles

Lovely: Discovering new places and falling more in love with traveling! From meeting new people to trying exotic food to the rush that you get when you`re taking off on a plane, I love it all. I can`t wait to continue to explore and have adventures... and there are many more on the horizon! Yay!

  12. I just wanted to get back to you on the weather...seriously - what is going on?? The parents are in Alberta and it's been 27 to 30 degrees for DAYS (and then my mom said it hailed this afternoon!!)

    Is it so much to ask for a tan?? I guess we'll have to settle for misery loves company :)
