Girly

Is there such a thing as "July gloom"? There must be, how else would it explain the weather these days. I know I've been complained enough about the weather, although it is mid-July, but it does not feel like summer at all. Overcast, precipitation and chill make it feel like Spring.  I bought this dress from ASOS back in February, and I've been waiting to wear it when the weather gets hotter. Since the weather is not getting any better, I figure I'd wear it now in case I won't get a chance to wear it later on. This dress is everything that I could ask for in a summer dress - the light weight chiffon material, the feminine floral print, the flowy-ness and the way it moves when I walk. I just love everything about this dress!

Summer Scarf

How are you...my blogger friends? Sorry I have been neglecting my blog lately as I am focusing most of my time on my daughter. I am hoping to pick up the pace and update my blog more frequently as before. When it comes to daily outfits, I am more of a minimalist and tend to pick out outfits that are simple and clean. Today is no exception – a simple tee and a pair of skinny jeans are always my favourite summer attire.  Of course, accessories are a great way to jazz up any simple outfits.  I did not feel like wearing a necklace today so I replaced it with a summer scarf. I am loving the scarf trend, with so many pretty prints and so many ways to wear them, they make the perfect summer accessories.

Google+

I just got onto Google+ yesterday, woohoo. In case you haven't heard of it yet, Google+ is a new social network just like Facebook. The main feature of Google+ is "circles" which allows you to split your contacts into groups so you can specify the audiences of your posts.   It is also similar to twitter - it allows you to follow others without requiring approval (of course you can only see what they have shared with the public). 

From what I know, Google+ is still a closed beta. If you need an invite, just shoot me an email: winnie (at) shopchicescape (dot) com

I know I have been MIA for a while, but I haven't forgotten about this blog. My 6 months old is consuming most of my time right now. Ever since I introduced her solid foods, she showed a lack of interest in milk (often times she would just reject the whole bottle I give her). She has not been doing very good with her weight gain lately. I have been advised by the pediatrician to switch to a different brand of formula and to keep an close eye on her milk intakes. Long story short, we have scheduled to visit the pediatrician every 2 weeks. Kaitlyn's weight gain was normal last week (phew) and hopefully she will continue with her progress. Anyway, I promise I will have some outfit post very soon :)

Happy Canada Day!

Today I wanted to wear something red and white to show some Canadian pride. However, I only had a red dress that was too formal to be worn on a family day, so I ended up painting my nails red instead :)

The bracelet to the very right is DIY from safety pins and beads, isn't it nice?

We went to the fair that was across the street from our place. It was so nice to see many people are wearing our country color to show their patriot love. We had so much fun checking out each activity and listening to live performances. The food there smelled amazing especially the kabobs, but since the line up was way too long I was too lazy to wait in the line.

 

 Kaitlyn (my 6 month old) is obsessed with her fingers, she can suck on them all day long. I am such a proud mama, she is a cutie, don't you agree?

Even Kaitlyn wanted to show some Canadian pride. She was passed out by the end of the day.

After the fair, my sister and I were goofing around the parking lot and took some silly pictures. Oh, hubby is missing from this post as he is too shy to appear on my blog. Anyway, have a good long weekend!
