Just Because...

Tonite a childhood dream will come true, I will be seeing THE BOSS in concert!!!  When I was in middle school I used to play the below cassette while dancing and belting out Mr. Springsteen.  I am amazed I didn't grown up with a complex since I sang "BORN IN THE USA" like I actually was.

I will be heading to the Rogers Centre (Skydome) where I saw my first concert, Ricky Martin, many moons ago.  I cannot wait to knock this 'legend' off my concert bucket list.  I have managed to see Prince, Elton John, Billy Joel, Rolling Stone, off that list however the list still includes Cher, U2 and a handful more.

So tonite I live out a childhood dream and only wish I could be as lucky as Courtney Cox was and get pulled up on stage!

Ahhhh, little girl dreams do come true!

WIW...

Day two of {Osheaga} was SUPER hot and humid so shorts were a MUST to wear.  I added this printed citrus top, the closest to wearing {Stella McCartney} citrus I have ever got. lol  These pictures were taken in Old Montreal which we visited before we hit a night full of amazing tunes!

This is what I wore.

Wearing Torrid shorts | Havianas flip flops | Forever21 printed top | HM satchel |

ASOS chevron ring/bracelet | ALDO watch | Lauren Elan bracelet | Detox sunnies

Today's post is also "Linkd Up" with {The Tiny Heart} make sure to check out her blog too!

WIW....

Day One of {Osheaga} was the shortest day we spent at the festival so I went with a maxi since I did not know what to expect from the venue.  Well suffice to say it was SUPER humid and I for sure could not have worn that dress on a day we spent more hours there.

The concert kicked off with Florence and the Machine, my maxi and high bun were the perfect mix of rocker chic and hipster!

This is what I wore.

Wearing Old Navy maxi dress | ASOS leather satchel | HM sunnies | 

Aldo bracelets and watch | Havaianas flip flops | and some DIY paint

Summer Fun...

Oh what a long weekend I had!

My girlfriends {Cindy} and Shannon and myself headed to Montreal for the {Osheaga} music festival.  And it was nothing short of amazing!  Super HOT, humid, rainy on the Sunday, fantastic music and my personal favorite, LOTS and LOTS of laughs!  Bands we saw included, Feist, Garbage, Sheepdogs, Franz Ferninad, The Black Keys, Metric, The Shins, Florence and the Machine, to name a few! 10, 000+ people easily (I have no idea if that is a true number, I am guessing cause crowds were MASSIVE) how could you not have a good time!

Outfit posts will be happening all week, but in the mean time here is 'breif' photo review of the weekend!

Hope you all had a blast with your weekend as well!

Words my mother told us to follow, and so did Osheaga.  Boy were they both right.

Watching the Sheepdogs in a magical forest setting!

Getting all wet on the Sunday!  We festival'd on!

 

this picture does not do justice to the mass exodus of everyone leaving each night.  

1x subway system for all this people made for a loud and smelly trip! lol

Finds...

Coachella

Coachella is coming up this weekend in California, and I like to think of it as the un-offical launch of Summer concerts.  While I have never had the opportunity to go, I do relish in the pictures that flood the internet of what people wore.

The above are some outfits I selected that I would wear to a desert concert series such as Coachella, but I also think these outfits are perfect for concerts up here in Ontario this Summer too.  The best blend is always, comfort, meets bohemian meets trendy; mix all those and you can never go wrong.

ROCK ON!

Click on the images to see wear to buy the pieces.

Summer Fun...

Well I didn't come back as a cowgirl but I did survive!  lol

Saturday we loaded up two cars and headed to Sarnia for Bayfest.  All of us girls, mostly country lovers, were in for quite the weekend.  Now I will say no matter what the type of music, an outdoor festival is always splendid!

Now among all the fashion DO’s and DON’T’s and trust me when I say there was way more DONT’S!  hahaha  My girls were especially dressed for the occasion.

I wore pretty much what I predicted {here} with a few adjustments.  My denim cropped jacket did fit, its too big and needs to altered, so I chose a cardigan for the night breeze.  And sadly no feather earring, just wore the fancy gold and coral beaded ones, stacked bracelets and my great leather gladiators from Athens.

I got very much into the spirit as the night went on.  Even dancing and laughing with some local wanna-be cowboys!

This weekend was one for the record book thats for sure.  I had a ton of fun and many many laughs.  Also something I am taking away with me, is a mental note; next time I go to a country festival with LOTS of women in short short shorts make sure I do some squats and lunges to keep up! :)

Hope you all had a great weekend too!
