Hello bloggers! It's been a while for me since I wrote here but summer has been one hell of a season!
Summer in the city is just fabulous and experiencing Montreal in the sun is just amazing. I went to several music festivals, zoo's, sidewalk sales and other events that make the city beautiful.

After seeing pictures and hearing details of music festivals around the world such as Coachella in California, Lalapalooza in Chicago and Glastonbury in England, I made it a point this summer to attend a festival here in Canada.

We attended the Blues Festival in Ottawa in June and watched amazing shows on several stages, had hot dogs and beer and watched the sunset by the river. It was really fabulous and a must-have experience for everyone!

There was however a task that I had to complete before attending this festival and that was of course the style that I was going to adopt. Reading magazines and looking at websites and blogs, festival fever was taking over and it was a must to look the part! I wanted to be comfortable and chic at the same time! And since I am a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl, here is what inspired me:






I decided then that I would stick to my denim cut-offs and a T with a fedora (to protect me from the sun and keep me chic!). I am also into the loose t-shirt style that keeps it breezy and flowy contrasted against the tight shorts. The handbag I wanted had to be comfortable and had to be able to fit everything that I need to keep to help me survive a whole-day festival such as the one I attended. Fringes wouldn't hurt either!
Here are a few items that helped put my style together:
MiH Jeans
Miami rigid-denim cut-off shorts

Rag & bone
Cotton-trimmed straw fedora

Diane von Furstenberg
Harper Bon Bon ostrich-effect leather shoulder bag

Zoe Karssen
Dreaming cotton and modal-blend tank

And here are a few pictures from the festival itself!
