memories of summer

I can't complain too much about the weather- it's hasn't been blisteringly cold (much) and we only caught some squalls associated with Snowmaggedon 2011, but I'm having a hard time right now.  It seems like the gentle breezes and warm sunshine are so far away now.  It's hard to recall those blissful moments of forgetfulness, lying on a patch of warm grass, eyes closed to the brightness of the sky.  In winter, the bright sunlight just means it's going to be COLD out there!

I found these pictures on the computer recently and must not have posted them- they embody a perfect urban Sunday this past August, when we ambled out the door in early afternoon for 'all-day breakfast' at a local spot.  Pancakes and bacon and sausage and potatoes (with a smattering of fruit), oh my.

I'm still longing for a pair of clogs (and bemoaning the Hasbeens that went to the only other responder on the Laws of General Economy site- why does that always seem to happen?) but I found a pair at Value Village in PEI this summer brand new for $5 so they'll do for now!  However I see that Hasbeens is doing a collaboration with H&M this spring...

Remember when the sun is too bright to keep your eyes open?  Sigh...only 3 months or so to go...

Old Navy chambray dress and cropped cardigan, Coach satchel (Dear Golden Vintage), Dollarama leather belt (!), thrifted London Underground clogs

Action shot!  I do leave the house!
