Spring /Summer Capsule Round Up – Unworn Items

It is that time of the year that the summer season is coming to and end and I have taken a few moments to reflect on my capsule for this season. I decided to go through my wardrobe and lay out the items that didn’t get any or much use. In hindsight I could have got away with a smaller capsule but it was my first and it’s a learning curve. I also didn’t know how windy it was in this area (the condos and tall buildings make a wind vortex) so dresses and skirts of certain lengths weren’t really comfortable. I mean, who likes to walk down the road holding their dress down. You can’t really do that when you have a 4-year-old who is constantly on the move. These are the six pieces that got little to no use from my summer capsule, could have easily been cut out and the reasons I think that was.

In a previous post I mentioned that I have Swedish ancestry. Or at least I have always believed I did and will not know until I take the jump and complete the Ancestry.ca DNA kit. Regardless of my ancestry, Sweden is always a place that I have been drawn too. Not just because I love Ikea and ABBA, which I do, very, very much. Seriously, ABBA Gold and the Momma Mia musical (and movie to a lesser degree) are some of my favourite things. I think that am drawn to it because the Swedish lifestyle appeals to me and the country looks absolutely beautiful. I would also love to learn Swedish but wish me luck on that since I am trudging through learning French as it is. Continue Reading

At any given time I have a minimum of 20 tabs open on my computer. There are pages I refer to multiple times during any given day and there are pages I leave open when something catches my eye so I can sit and look through them when I have free time. I need a better bookmark solution to what I have going on because it really bogs down my computer. Here is a list of several links that caught my eye over the last week or so, some helpful, some informative, some yummy, and some funny. Continue Reading
