Summer is coming to a close and while historically I’m desperate to stop the clock and hold on to the warm sunshine, this year is different. This year I’m anxiously awaiting autumn. While New Year’s is the official calendar fresh start, for me fall is the fresh start of a new year. That fresh, crisp air brings with it the promise of an array of new and exciting challenges, an opportunity to start over and how could I forget to mention, fall fashion.

The weather has had a sudden change of heart, but luckily I’m headed out west today to partake in Lululemon’s SeaWheeze Half Marathon, and the weather there is calling for nothing but sunshine. So while YYC had a very fall-ish feel yesterday, my suitcase is packed with a summer vibe. I love long weekends, especially when they involve travel.

I remember when there were strict rules about mixing your metals. Gold and silver had to be separated, and rose gold, don’t even go there. Thankfully those rules have been shattered, and everything shiny falls under the broad ‘metallics’ category. So forget about putting your gold bracelets on the sideline when you’ve decided to wear the silver, everyone can play nice now.

There are weekends that are filled to the brim with activity and then there are weekends that have that perfect mix of down time and play time. This past weekend was the latter for me, and I love when I wake up Monday morning, refreshed and invigorated to tackle the week ahead.
I mentioned before that I was on a serious strawberry kick this summer and after the Strawberries and Cream Cheesecake, I tackled some seriously delicious Bordeaux Strawberry Ice Cream. The idea of combining three of my favourite things, strawberries, ice cream and wine was almost too much to handle. I’ve made homemade strawberry ice cream before, but this recipe with the addition of the Bordeaux wine takes it to another level. I can’t think of a better dessert to serve to guests this upcoming August long weekend.
