It’s funny how often we get stuck in a rut in our fashion, it can be difficult to get inspired and try something new.  I’ve mentioned before just how many times I’ve overlooked a fabulous pair of shorts in favour of a skirt or dress.  This summer however, I’ve been fully embracing a switch up, and am amazed at how many options there are.  From casual to fancy, I’ve fallen hard, and this pair of lace shorts are at the top of my list.

I spent last weekend out on the West Coast celebrating the wedding of one of my dearest girlfriends.  The venue on Salt Spring Island was like a dream, many times so perfect and picturesque you almost had to pinch yourself to confirm you were indeed, awake.  The bride embodied wedded bliss, and it was such an honour to be apart of such a special day.  I had a short stop over in Vancouver on my way home and got to spend some time with two more of my closest girlfriends.  There’s something about time spent with ladies like these that is just so good for the soul.  Here’s to a fabulous weekend ahead my friends.

I love baking when the summer rolls around and I have full access to all of the delicious produce that isn’t available the other months of the year.  During the dead of winter I often look longingly at the recipes filled with delicious baked goods that incorporate fruits that just aren’t seen this far north at that time.  Strawberries are in full flourish right now, and I picked up a massive helping (warning – there will be additional strawberry themed recipes in the near future).  This recipe for Strawberries and Cream Cheesecake had caught my eye in the fall, and I’ve patiently waited to undertake the task.  Creamy strawberry deliciousness was almost too much to handle, and I will definitely be making this one again while the strawberries are at their sweetest.
