When the weather is deceivingly cold, the sky is a vast open mass of blue, and the sun is shining brightly, I often forget to check the temperature before heading out. Such has been the case the past few days, when the longing for spring and the glare of the sunshine pulls me away from the dark shades and textures in my closet for items that are light and fresh. I don’t know why, but this winter seems especially harsh and lengthy, and I’m reaching deep for ways to deal. First up on the list, dreaming of a warm vacation somewhere far away.

Winter is dragging on here in the city of Calgary, and I mean dragging it’s heels, finding every excuse possible to stick around. All of the pretty pastels are hitting stores and we’re still dealing with temperatures of -20 degrees Celsius. Instead of throwing in the towel and giving up, I’m not going to let it stop me from donning skirts and pretending spring is right around the corner.
Sometimes I tend to get in a baking rut. For weeks on end it’s all cupcakes and cookies, and I seem to simply deny that there may other categories of deliciousness out there. Luckily for me, my fabulous big sis gifted me the Butter Baked Goods book, and since then I’ve been branching out like you wouldn’t believe. First up on the list, the Vunder Bars, packed with chocolate wafer crumbs, peanut butter, chocolate, oats, Rice Krispies and butter. Not only were they a total cinch, they were so completely delicious. I can’t wait to bake my way through the rest of the book.

I spent this past weekend out on the West Coast catching up with some of the most wonderful women in my life. Brunch, sleepovers, pyjama parties, dinner out, drinks in and a whole lot of girl talk. I drove past my old townhouse, spent some time in the neighbourhood where I lived and reminisced about ‘old times’. I can’t explain how just how good a weekend like this is for the soul and I’ve since promised to make my way out more than once a year.

Typically when my hemline goes up so does my heel height. I have, however, found the perfect flat that trumps that theory, and no matter what the hem height, pairing my ensemble with these studded flats is a win every time. With tights during the winter months, and bare legs in the summer, I’m already envisioning them with a fab pair of silk shorts come spring. Oh how I do love when my fashion mingles with practicality.
