Remember that iconic bright blue Issa London wrap dress that Kate Middleton sported for the royal engagement announcement?  Well lucky for us, Issa London recently teamed up with Banana Republic to create a limited edition pre-fall collection!  There’s much to love about this dress.  The fabric is the kind that you could crumple in a ball, throw in a suitcase, and it would still emerge looking unwrinkled and fabulous.  AND it’s probably one of the top 5 most flattering things I’ve ever put on.  I mean, it’s pretty obvious that they had me in mind when they made this.  Seriously, like a glove people!  Though, I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s the case for almost any size.  It’s a definite contender for the sisterhood of the travelling dress.
Speaking of which, I hate to cut things short but I’m off to the cabin.  Could not be more excited for a little lay by the lake with Vogue kinda getaway.  Safe and happy long weekending, you crazy kids!

While on one of my re-organizing fits, I found this forgotten old pair of sandals tucked behind some dust bunnies and other shoes. Just in time for the END of summer, but I’m still so happy that they’re back.  Discovering a once loved item from your closet is almost better than buying something brand new.  Almost.

I’m into any sort of excuse to get dressed up, especially when it’s for a fun day at the races!  I’ve always wanted to attend The Deighton Cup and was so happy to be in town for the big event this year.  Dug up my favourite fascinator, and old bridesmaids dress, borrowed some gloves, and made my way to Hastings Racecourse.  Hung out all day with the beautiful Jen, Alison, Leonie, Bria, Randa, Jill, and Michelle.  A big thanks to Lyndi for the invite, already planning my outfit for next year!

Hope you all had a great weekend xo

Sometimes a great city like Paris required you to go back to the basics and rock some simple black and white.  The trouble with our time there was the unusually cold weather.  Please note everyone in the above photo and how covered up they are.  But, you know what?  I suffered through it to look fabulous, because that’s what you do for fashion 😉

I wasn’t as excited about the music lineup on day two of OSHEAGA, but I sure was pumped about my outfit!  My goal is usually to stand out slightly, but this look obviously shouts and screams for people to notice.   I stood out a mile among thousand of people in that same bohemian festival style.  Plus, I was doing the hammertime dance/my best Bieber impression all day.  That might have earned some attention as well 😉 
Jimmy Eat World – Stars – Tegan and Sara – Imagine Dragons – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
I arrived just in time to catch the last half of Jimmy Eat World’s show, which obviously my teenage self was l-o-v-i-n-g!  Don’t know them well, but Stars was on in the background while I scoped out festival streetstyle and fulfilled my RACHEL Rachel Roy fashion correspondent duties.  Which, was super fun and I found some majorly stylish ladies around the festival.  After missing Tegan and Sara at Coachella, I was happy to catch them this time around.  Plus, they killed it.  Macklemore was so much fun, everyone headed to Squamish Music Fest this weekend is in for a treat.  The highlight for me, was when Tegan and Sarah made a surprise appearance on stage during Macklemore’s set to sing Same Love.  It was perfect. 
It’s also your last chance to score a $250 RACHEL Rachel Roy Shopping Spree at Hudson’s Bay. So…what are you waiting for?  Enter right MEOW!

Getting to put together festival-worthy outfits for OSHEAGA was such a dream come true.  Before I even arrived at the Bay, my stylist Lael had already pulled looks that perfectly matched my personality; girly and fun, with a bit of rock and roll.  I really loved the contrast of pretty lace and sequins with a loose skull tee and boho accessories. This look was so comfortable, I’ll be remixing all of these pieces on the asap.

The first day of OSHEAGA was super hot.  Walking through the gates, I immediately regretted not putting sunscreen on, but was thankful I’d opted for a hat.  The guy beside me at Alt J fainted and others around were dropping like flies.  Oh, that heat in the East!  Despite the rising temperatures, I managed to see…

Alt J – Two Door Cinema Club – Ellie Goulding – Vampire Weekend – Phoenix – Baauer


It was great watching a few old favourites.  Alt J kills it every time and Vampire Weekend was basically made for festival performances.  It was awesome to finally see Two Door Cinema Club live and Ellie Goulding.  Ohhhh, Ellie.  Girl crush for sure.  You should have seen her abs, she’s also my new workout inspiration.  I ended the night randomly (as you do) and went to see Baauer on a whim.  He was awesome, who doesn’t love a good dance party with hundreds of strangers?  I even managed to catch The Cure performing Friday I’m In Love as I exited the festival.  Had to leave while I could still walk.  Heels were an ambitious choice.  The things that I do for fashion!

So, boyfriend shorts.  Probably the best invention ever.  Actually every piece in this outfit separately has been in constant outfit rotation.  These breezy summer neutrals have proved to be essentials.  And now, I’m going to put this look to good use and head to a patio to enjoy this Friday sunshine with friends.  Happy weekend xo
