Plaid in Autumn

It's days like today that I feel so lucky to live in Victoria. With the majority of Canada facing snow and temperatures below freezing, Vancouver Island is still a little tropical oasis with temperatures up around 13 degrees. Since returning from Europe, I haven't had the chance to do what I love doing most: sipping a soy latte on a Sunday morning while wandering through Victoria's local boutiques... Who needs H&M, XXI or Zara? Not Victoria!

I accomplished two monumental things today: First, I wore my leather leggings for the first time in broad daylight. Second, I bought the Converse sneakers that I've wanted since I could walk.. 

It was a good day ♥

Plaid Shirt: Ralph Lauren (thrifted)

Leggings: H&M

Boots: Hunter

Bag: Michael Kors

Hopefully everyone had a lovely weekend and partook in some Hallowe'en festivities!

Are there any other Victoria fashion bloggers out there? We would love to network with you! :)

Parksville Sandcastles

Sandcastles! 

Don't you just love them? I know I do. Every year I head up island to a town called Parksville where they have sandcastle building contest, and every year I am blown away. The long amount of time and hard work put into these wonderfully designed pieces is just fantastic and always brings a smile to my face.

One of my close friends Alanna joined me this year for a day adventure :)

It makes me a little sad to think that after all the hard work the artist put in to their sculpture, one good rain storm, tide or some other small event and all that hard work will be gone within seconds. 

What does everyone think of the castles? Are there any small town summer traditions that you like to attend each year?
