I ate a poutine tonight called The Heart Attack, and it is pretty tasty. Not my favourite but it will do. You can’t go wrong with deep-fried cheese. We will see how I feel later.

Do any of you shop the Nordstrom Sale? I haven’t been into a Nordstrom since December 2019, and am not a frequent online shopper of them. I appreciate their in-store more.

A Cool Palette Summer Capsule Wardrobe

A white background with a mini summer capsule wardrobe in a cool palette and several outfit ideas for summer 2021.

Two for the price of one this week. If you are looking for a mini summer capsule wardrobe, a summer wardrobe refresher, or even a packing list, this post might be for you.

I was indecisive about which way I wanted to go this week but I found myself putting together mini summer wardrobe refresher boards for myself so I thought I would go down that route.

I have recently reached a point in my own summer wardrobe that I am kind of bored with pieces.

I am wearing a dark grey jumpsuit, leather jacket, New Balance sneakers, a great purse, a Jenny Bird Necklace, and Le Spec Sunglasses.

I logged on to Instagram this morning and it was being weird. The feed kept refreshing and then going to a white screen so I closed the app and reopened it.

Immediately upon reopening, a message popped up on the screen saying that I had a copyright infringement on a specific photo (it is the bottom photo in last weeks’ what I wore post).

It is our 17th wedding anniversary today. Sometimes it seems so far away and then other times I can still remember the frustration and disappointment that people kept bringing me water.

Don’t get me wrong, I was appreciative that they even thought to bring me over something because it was a pretty good party and there was a lot of drinking involved, but I really, really hate water.

It makes me gag.

Cottage Packing List

A white background with a layout of what to pack for a weekend at the cottage.

I will preface this by admitting that I am absolutely not a cottage or camping type of person. I don’t think that is shocking to anyone that knows or is familiar with me.

Although I probably wouldn’t pass up a luxury cottage that has good wifi, tv, and great bathroom facilities.

That being said, my mother-in-law has a cabin way up north. She has had it for many, many years, and Tom loves to go down there for a least one long weekend every summer.

I am wearing an oversized tan blouse, Agolde jeans, vintage New Balance, Le Specs sunglasses, and a vintage Miu Miu bag

I am wearing a blue linen blouse, AgoldE 90s jeans, yellow block heels, and a vintage magazine clutch

I am wearing an Anine Bing sweatshirt, linen trousers, blue sandals, and a mini straw tote

I am not going to lie, I spent the greater part of today thinking that it was Saturday. A mid-week holiday always throws me off. I didn’t realize it until I was trying to order dinner and noticed a lot of the places were closing at 6:30 instead of much later.

That clued me in.

It was an order from three different places because no one can agree on one place, sort of night. Greek for Roo, Harvey’s for Merle and I, and Tom ordered Red Lobster, making me want to throw up.
