Modern Safari

Happy 4th, friends!  Hope you’re having an awesome day.  Personally, this long weekend was much needed and the best way to unofficially welcome the summer. Unfortunately, I spent Canada Day doubled over in pain due to a food sensitivity.  I’ve had stomach issues my entire life and finally decided that it was most likely eggs.  I LOVE eggs and being a lifelong vegetarian, they were an absolute staple in my diet.   Since cutting them out at the beginning of this year though, I’d yet to experience any sort of tummy issues.  That was, until I made cookies Thursday evening, using the 2 eggs the recipe required.  Not thinking it was a big deal, I may or may not have eaten a ton of cookies (they were small, okay?) and paid for it big time on Friday.  Not an ideal holiday, but luckily felt great the rest of the weekend and found the perfect balance of hanging out with friends, relaxing, cleaning the apartment, eating barbecued foods, and enjoying the beach.  Ooh, and we found some vegan (and just regular) waffles in the city that are a MUST try!  Will be sure to write a full report soon.

I was thinking about it the other day, and I haven’t owned a safari dress in quite a few years, but I forgot the ease and wearability that comes with.  I love that you can just throw it on and it’s such a neutral, blank slate.  I only wish that I’d steamed this Joe Fresh number before photographing it – and that I didn’t stuff my face with cookies!  But hey, you can’t win them all, can you?!
