Hello Darlings,
Seen on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Emilio Pucci S/S 2012, the straw bag has made a come back. Not in a beach-going kind of way, but rather with modern shape and luxe finishes.
Made popular in the seventies by Jane Birkin , this carryall picnic perfect darling is once again back on the radar! At first I found the trend a bit provincial, but the more I see it the more fascinated I become.
Hello Darlings,
Always a nature lover — I grew up spending summers at my grandparent's farm in Ukraine — and loving the thrill of adventure, the weekend at Blue Mountain satisfied my inner Marta-the-explorer. Savoring down time at Scandinave Spa and pool time at The Westin Trillium was a treat, but exploring the beauty of Ontario's Apple Country was an experience that I will never forget! To say that it made a lasting impression is an understatement.

Hello Darlings,
It was one of the most perfect early summer days ever as we drove north through weaving country roads en route to a weekend getaway at Blue Mountain Resort. Having traveled a lot the past couple of years, nothing really compares to spending a weekend in our Canadian "backyard". It's a sweet feeling of being at home while still exploring new things.

In just under two hours, we arrived at the charming Blue Mountain Resort. Nestled on the shores of Georgian Bay on the beautiful Niagara Escarpment, the resort is perfect for romancing couples, girl getaways, boys weekends, and of course families. As I've only been to the resort during ski season, I was quite keen to check it out in summer time!
Hello Darlings,
With sunny days, all I want is to braid my hair, wear pink and sip mimosas! As every girl knows, staying frizz free and smudge proof in the sun is not an easy task. So why battle nature when it's just easier to embrace than to conquer. And learning and trying new things is part of life's fun, so to love your summer here are some suggestions to wear, to try, and to buy inspirations that are easy breezy!
