A Little Marc Love

I don't know how much I can say about Marc Jacob's Resort 2011 collection that hasn't already been said better elsewhere, but it is (as I've come to expect from him), fantastic. At least in my opinion.

I love feminine details and ruffles, gentle but tailored dresses, soft colours, polka dots, frills, lace, and each of these loves was addressed here. It's so girly (Do you not fall in love immediately with the above blue frilly strapless confection??) - and perfect!

I could never fully get behind the studs, shredded leggings and grungy rock star looks that were so popular in seasons past, and on bloggers everywhere. Frankly,  I'm really excited to see the trendsetter of trendsetters bring back girliness in such a fabulous and wonderful way. Thanks Marc.

This Bird Has Flown

This amazingness from Norwegian Wood has been cropping up all over various blogs and sites, but I am such a fan of the label, promoting Canadian designers (Go Montreal!), and the fabulous garments that are now available via etsy, I just had to re-post it.

Continuing on the theme of Norwegian Wood praise, enjoy a little mood music here:

Fair Island of the Sea

Welcome to Lot 65! I'm proud to be posting from my beautiful home province of Prince Edward Island. I've moved around a lot in the last while, but this is truly where I feel at home.

On this blog I hope to share my love of fashion, books, and more, but most importantly, my beloved Island. To start us off, I want a share a few of my favourite places with you all, to get you more familiar with the place I love so much, and which is such a huge part of who I am.

PEI is known for its beaches, and every one is beautiful in my opinion. The red sandy southern shores are perfect for beachcombing at low tide - and the best place for finding sea glass! The dunes and white sands of the north shore are perfect for lounging on, and revelling in the sound of crashing waves. 

What's not to love?

Beanz is one of the most wonderful gems in Charlottetown - a fantastic little café in the downtown core that serves up a myriad of delicious treats, sandwiches and the best hot chocolate ever.

The Green Man - Vintage and Vinyl is relatively new, but one place I love to visit. There is an amazing mix of vintage pieces. One of my fave activities being trying on all the fun and fancy hats hanging throughout the shop.

The Charlottetown waterfront is a beautiful spot, especially in summer. It's true that it is a little touristy, but I love it all the same. Great for a wander, watching the boats go by, or enjoying some Cows Ice Cream (yum!)

I have always thought dirt in other places looked funny, but I guess it is because I grew up surrounded by red clay. It makes for such lovely drives through the countryside, and although the dirt roads are disappearing as they get paved, I always love driving along them. You never know what pretty spot you'll end up in.

Last but not least? The scenery. PEI is a beautiful place to live, and I never get tired of the rolling fields,  stunning shorelines, or happy little farms perched along Island roads. Thousands of tourists come for just this reason every summer, and I can truly say that as someone who's lived here all my life that it never loses its charm.
