I spent the weekend at the Red Leaves Marriott Resort in Muskoka, and thankfully the rain held off and it turned out to be a gorgeous weekend. The scenery was breathtaking as the leaves had started to turn and we took full advantage of the view from our balcony.

Comfortable daytime look:
- Long sleeve t-shirt, worn-in jeans, flats, faux-fur vest, sunnies, hat, and minimal makeup

Evening look:
- Get dolled up for dinner with your favourite pair of heels. Use the environment as inspiration and pull out your favourite floral skirt and pink gloss.

She made the transition from a successful D&G model, to editor at the age of 28. Born in Italy, this fashion maven now resides in New York City, and works at W magazine as a contributing fashion editor. She is also the editor of L'Uomo Vogue. Her style is one of a kind, and definitely always has people talking.

Here's a look at how you can use pieces in your summer wardrobe and transition them for fall and winter. A dreaded thought, but yes, winter is coming. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the last day of summer. I'm off to beautiful Port Carling, Ontario!

Just realized how much happier I look in the summer pictures. Can you tell I hate winter?

Of course brights are a Spring/ Summer must, but next year seems to be showing signs of a lot of yellow and fuchsia. Fine by me! I am in love with that full length Jenni Kayne dress, all things Oscar de la Renta, and am so happy I stumbled upon this collection by Farah Angsana! Nude is a colour for any season, but these designs are beautiful for Spring. So many beautiful dresses!
