Hello Darlings,

It was one of the most perfect early summer days ever as we drove north through weaving country roads en route to a weekend getaway at Blue Mountain Resort. Having traveled a lot the past couple of years, nothing really compares to spending a weekend in our Canadian "backyard". It's a sweet feeling of being at home while still exploring new things.

In just under two hours, we arrived at the charming Blue Mountain Resort. Nestled on the shores of Georgian Bay on the beautiful Niagara Escarpment, the resort is perfect for romancing couples, girl getaways, boys weekends, and of course families. As I've only been to the resort during ski season, I was quite keen to check it out in summer time!

Retro inspired outfits with feminine touches and delicate details. I am quite curious to try out the bralet and skirt combination.
