It’s the middle of this hot summer (well at least it’s hot for some people this summer) and you’re off to a fun summer destination… think Kelowna or the Muskokas (or the equivalent in your neck of the woods)! What is one to pack besides the usual hiking gear, sports-wear and essential bikini?? Here are some fun summer options that are easy to throw on yet give you that “I-look-fabulous” kind of vibe. Remember, it’s summer so have fun with these looks!
1. A Day of Wine Tasting
Cali Striped Shelf Cami Dress, Bloomingdales.com
Accessorize with:
This is a fun yet cool summer pick and perfect for a summer patio of wine tasting (in the Okanagan or Niagara on the Lake perhaps). I’d accessorize it with a pretty thong sandal, a delicate gold bracelet and some cool aviator shades.
Accessory Pick
Emmy Thong Flat Sandals, Shopbop.com
2. Walking Around Town
Silk Vest, Farfetch.com and ‘Auris’ Shorts, Farfetch.com
Accessorize with:
I love this casual, pleated short. With a bright-coloured top, it’s a versatile outfit that can be worn to discover new restaurants, hang out at summer festivals, or take a stroll along a waterfront boardwalk. You can accessorize it with a funky pair of sunglasses, a fedora and dark leather, strappy sandals (I’d opt for flats if you’ll be walking all day).
Accessory Pick
Bordeaux Sunglasses, Farfetch.com
3. Casual Dinner Out
Adalyn Pleated Maxi Dress, Shopbop.com
Accessorize with:
I’d keep it simple and let this special dress speak for itself. You could accessorize it with oversized sunglasses and wedge heels (try something in a matte red or subtle gold pattern).
Accessory Pick
Oversized Shades, zappos.com
Always remember to keep the most important accessory handy- SUNBLOCK!
