My new top from @northernreflections is luxuriously soft, the print is unique and I love the style with a handkerchief hem. I’ve paired it with comfortable drawstring pants, from Northern Reflections. They also come in charcoal.Northern Reflections is a quality Canadian women’s clothing company, I’ve been a happy customer over the years (since 1985 when the first store opened) and I’m delighted to collaborate with a company who cares about our environment and values SLOW FASHION.#southampton #sunset #lakehuron#sunset #southampton Ontario #lakehuronStyling my floral top with white jeans and red jeans. #florals #magnolias #fashion #fashionbloggerStyling my floral top with red jeans and black faux leather pants. #florals #fauxleather #fashion #fashionblogger #thrifingStyling my floral blazer with white jeans and black faux leather pants. #fashionblogger #florals #whatveganswearI always find something I like at Northern Reflections 🇨🇦(Canadian women’s apparel store).

It’s what I have always had in my heart ever since I was a child. When you understand and open your eyes to the cycle of life and death which we all are apart of, you realise you have to enjoy yourself and live with values of such as non violences to all beings and also if someone in your life is upsetting you remove that person if the person continues to upset you. Look forward to reading your blog 😉

What a fantastic trip, beautiful pictures and beautiful you are with your summer dress is very nice. Your beautiful skin should be protected from the sun, we must not attack our body. You look fantastic.

Thanks for stopping by, Suzanne!
No sandy beach nearby, but at least the spring has arrived and we’ll go to a beach in the summer about an hour and a half drive from where we live. Where is your closest beach?
Have a fabulous week!!
