Can't You See The Sky Is Not The Limit No More?...

Hi everyone!

Longtime no see. Sorry, I've just been crazy busy. The past couple weeks have just been go, go, go. The last Friday in June, Ben and I went into Manhattan for the weekend because some friends and I were having a party. I actually had a really good time. It was really nice to see everyone. While we were in the city we did a bit of shopping and general good timing. Last week mom, Willa, Ruby and I all went to see 'The Fault In Our Stars'. I know, we were shockingly behind the ball seeing it but we just never got around to it before. I'm not entirely sure that I liked it. Don't get me wrong, I blubbered like a school girl but I don't know, I feel like they totally missed the whole point of the book when they took out a lot of Gus' decline. My mother on the other hand was very happy that they did soft soak it a little as she was crying so bad that I thought we were gonna have to leave at one point and continued to cry for about an hour afterwards... see, I come by it honestly.
We had a lovely 4th of July, dad fired up the barbecue, both my aunts were there as well as my extremely pregnant cousin Hannah and her daughter Alma. It was nice to see them all. Seriously though, I hope the twins come soon or Hannah is gonna explode.
That Saturday, I accompanied my father to this very fancy gala at which he received a philanthropy award which was very cool, I was so proud. I got to wear an incredible Jenny Packham dress that dad bought me for the occasion. The event itself was a little stodgy but hey, it was corporate so... It was funny to see all the stuffed shirts with their trophy wives. Cliches are cliches for a reason.
Yeah, other than that we've just been doing our summer things. Oh! I think you'll notice this yourself but I've recently decided to pare down my look a little. It's still very me, just a little fresher. It's something I've been thinking about for a while and was already headed in that direction but a couple weeks ago I broke my absolutely favourite Kate Spade sunglasses which was very sad but it allowed me to brake out a pair of Orla Kiely sunglasses that I bought forever ago. Between those and the new earrings I bought at Steven Alan a little while ago, these adorably fresh seed pearl studs, I'd say a bit of a change was demanded. Let me know what you think, I've been a little unsure but overall I'm pretty happy with the way it's been heading. I hope you guys are all having an amazing summer and I'm gonna try to update a but more regularly... no promises of course but I'll try!
Below is a whole wackload of outfit updates. I've been keeping track since I last updated so... I'm gonna break this post in two because if I don't it'll go on forever!

(Ps. Just because I feel like I need to earn some points with you guys... here... have a beautiful man -perhaps the most beautiful man- singing beautiful music.)

Resort 2015...

Hi guys,

So I know that I've been incredibly inconsistent with my fashion coverage but I've decided to do a look at my favourite resort looks anyway. I've been very inspired by this season's resort, something about the colours and the attitude... I don't know. Anyway, below are some of the things that I hope will make their way into my closet next summer. Did you guys have any favourites? I'm always interested.
-Bea

Designer: Alexis Mabille

Why: It's the ruffle at the waist. I think it's absolutely perfect. It's sorta like a peplum but better... and you know how much I love peplums. Plus, it's a great colour and I'm always looking for more yellow to wear.

Designer: Carolina Herrera

Why: I love the simplicity of it. It's such a wearable dress and yet it's so feminine at the same time. I also love the slightly modern floral print with the touch of yellow, it'll make matching this dress so much fun.

Designer: Jill Stuart

Why: I don't know is this is a top or a dress or what but I love it. It's so sweet and easy. It reminds me a lot of what Hannah McGibbon did at Chloe for Spring 2009. 

Designer: Nina Ricci

Why: Lace overalls... Who wouldn't want to get their hands on those? Imagine it with a sweet printed blouse and matching cardi... add some Charlotte Olympia kitty flats and you have a winner.

Designer: Honor

Why: I absolutely love this line. It's so freaking late 60's that it's crazy. I love the long sleeve underneath too, as you know this is a look that I'm fond of.

Designer: Erin Fetherston

Why: Every season Erin puts out a dress like this and I buy it every time. I like the fuller skirt on this one though. This might make the perfect dress to wear on my birthday next year.

Designer: Jenny Packham

Why: Okay, so a couple years ago Kate Middleton wore a yellow Jenny Packham shirtdress number to some event in Calgary and I fell so absolutely in love with it that I searched everywhere for it, I came up empty handed and it's one of my most disappointing misses. This beautiful pink beaded number however might just make up for it. With it's slightly 40's silhouette and the amazing navy details... love.

Designer: Elie Saab (left)

Why: Okay how amazing is this jumpsuit? I adore everything about it, from the wide pleated legs and incredible waterfall sleeves to the insane beaded v-neck bodice and the dreamy mint colour. I love this... however I have a feeling that it'll look better on my mom. I could totally see her wearing this, in fact I think she had a similar grey one when I was a kid.

Designer: Honor

Why: I love the colour! I am also crazy about the little top. So freakin' pretty. This line reminded me of like an incredible Valentino/Dolce & Gabbana lovechild and that is not bad at all.

Designer: Paul & Joe

Why: I don't know what it is about this collection but I love it! It reminds me a bit of what she wore in 'Cheerful Weather For The Wedding'. I could totally see Dolly wearing this.

Designer: Paul & Joe

Why: Those shorts shall be mine! I am so crazy about these. It's the print, that crazy amazing seaside print. I love them with the adorable little flower belt.

Designer: Paul & Joe

Why: Again, I know. I just love this though. It so much like the 40's style things that came out in the 80's. I think however, that this'll probably be something that I buy for Willa. I can totally see it on her.

Designer: Valentino

Why: Okay, so I'd have absolutely nowhere to wear this incredible dress but it's so beautiful that I just had to put it on here. Can't you just see it? Lounging around in Santorini wearing this? I'd feel like a 1970's Greek princess. So pretty.

Designer: Valentino

Why: This dress however, shall be mine. It is so much fun! I just love it. I'm not quite sure how I'll wear it but I have no doubt that it'll be fabulous.
