Vaccation – Confessions of a Montreal Styling Diva, by Lucy Bertoldi

That’s right- start counting down the days to Christmas! Is it even possible? I’m just getting over the fact that summer is gone (go ahead and laugh!). And what about the time change without even having to set back your clocks? All done for us. If I hadn’t read it somewhere, the day would have gone by without me even knowing! Not to mention lockdowns… Is this what’s happening? And -lastly- the world is all eyes on the American election. Boy do I need a distratction!

Enough with the gloom and doom- it is Friday after all! And I did have a fabulous week of styling up for Gail’s challenge. And I thought I’d style up Bermuda shorts! Because that too is super weird this hot weather we’re getting up here in Canada!

As well- I’m right back into my DiY’s. Got bored with my scarf wall so thought up a way to minimize space and voila!

**Hahaha!! Looks like a costume!!!! But such a great space saver!!!**

Onto my Favourite Fashion Diva of the Week! Here’s Ashley from Le Stylo Rouge

Wear Now: Leopard Dress + Patent Leather Cowboy Boots. | LSR — How darling does she look!! I am crazy about this casual chic look! There’s something about light flowy dresses (especially in animal print!!) paired with cowboy boots that just makes my fashion heart throb like crazy!!

My Favourite Non-Fashion Read from the Linkup was by: Allison of Midlife and Beyond for her post: A Review Of Our Holiday in Cyprus during Corona She wrote a terrific post of what is certainly my dream get-away place: Cypress!!

**I could use a little Ouzo on the rocks just about now- with a side dish of calamar…**

We’re in mid July, for us Montrealers that means half the summer is already gone. For me, summer also means getting away. I love going to Greece, and I’ve shared my thoughts about that on Instagram, and I know I’ve mentioned before how much I also love Florida- even in the summertime! And I especially miss it this year!! That intense Florida heat feels like gold to my bones- and the ocean sound, it’s truly music to my ears. I love that the water is warm and gentle in the summer- and that every place indoors is a cool haven after a beachy day. This year it’s different because of this Pandemic- and for Floridians as well…

All this to say that although I love Greece so much, a fashionista like myself thrives, and prefers, perusing the great stores of the US. I love to see what’s in and not- and how different it might be to the styles and trends back home. I think it’s safe to say that Florida is a shopper’s paradise. But this year…I’m staying in Montreal. Keeping safe and masked up.

Here’s reminiscing to warm nights by the pool and perfect lobby selfies…in a beautiful flowy yellow top I got back in …Greece lol!!

What are you replacing vacays with?

This week’s Favourite Fashion Diva is: Gail from Is This Mutton Isn’t she just fabulous in this print mix?? Classy and edgy all in one! Love me a great black & white print mix with fuschia!

Favourite Blog Post Read of the Week: Grace from Graceful Rags for her post entitled: The Best and Worst Parts of Fashion Blogging. She speaks the truth- and it so resonated with me. Go read this Fashionista’s great post!
