Before the summer ends...

I'd like to venture out and take full fledged advantage of bright colors that I otherwise could not pull off in the middle of the winter. 

I've always loved bright colors on my fingernails in the spring and summertime, especially in the last few seasons because they were so trendy, therefore easily found. 

I've also been loving the trend where you paint all your nails a certain color, and then give your ring finger a little more oomph? No idea what this trend is called, so I'm dubbing it the ringer finger oomph trend. If you have a better one let me know, cause mine sounds oh-so-cheesy. 

Colors:

Borghese Dolce Vita Fuschia in shade #B295

OPI Atomic Orange in shade #NL B39

I think colors are really taking over the fashion scene, and will continue to do so for the next few seasons (just look at the fall collections for this year, when was the last time you saw some much color for F/W?)

I'm not talking only nails, because that's the usual go-to "accessory" to add to your look for that pop of color. Neons and brights are literally EVERYWHERE. 

Like on my notebooks. =)

 At Archie Grand, you can find SERIES ...and SERIES of notebooks and such with gorgeous bright colors that made you wish your wardrobe had the same color palettes. 

LINK! (their notebooks are currently on sale at Indigo/Chapters bookstores)

Along with all the summer things I love, it's being able to go out and get drinks with friends without looking like Michelin Man.

Even my drinks have taken a bright colored twist to them. =)

If you're ever around the area of Montreal and want a good drink, don't forget to drop by the Distillerie

at one of their three locations. They have an amazing ambiance, the barmen are super nice (ours bought us all a round of shooters) and most of all the drinks are the most original. 

They create their own cocktails served in their massive jam jars - at a VERY reasonable price. 

Speaking of going out - it's getting a little chilly at night here, but warm enough to stay in shorts. 

That's where THE SCARF becomes your BFF. 

Here's a reworked OOTD - I've worn this outfit before, but styled differently. 

It's much more casual this time with loose hair, flip flops (not shown in pic) and a scarf thrown over.

Even slight adjustments and totally change up an outfit.

Last but not least, to finish off this post on all great summer things...

Is my beloved kitty - although he's close to 8 years old now, he still acts as if he's a baby kitten.

So cute.

Have a great Thursday everyone - only one more day to go!

Cheers!
