This was originally a guest post over at Streets and Stripes. I'm reposting it here because I'm kind of OCD about keeping all my blog content together!
My family live in Hamilton, Ontario these days, and on a month-long visit this August I had fun being a tourist in my home country. The day these photos were taken, there was a street fair near to our house. There was live music, stalls selling many different items, and, judging by the atmosphere, free-flowing beer. My sister and I had a wander through it. I loved this outfit, but in retrospect the parasol probably wasn’t the best idea for such a crowded event: I lived in fear of taking somebody’s eye out. ; p

Oh, I wish I had a parasol like this! Fat chance I'll get to Venice any time soon.
I really want a dainty parasol!!!!!! You are making me want to make such a frivolous purchase :)
I think I said it before, but yellow is your color!
That color looks great on you.
Picture is really good.
haha I always hurt people when I walk around with an umbrella so yeah, I can relate! gorgeous dress and parasol, love :)
I love when you wear this dress. It's so cheerful and the very best color! The photo of the parasol in focus with the crowds in the background is very cool.
I love when my hometown has festivals. :)
that is probably the prettiest parasol i've ever seen :) i can't wait for your guest blog post! i think food is a great idea. something autumny! check out my blog for the alexa chung giveaway!
Street festivals are always a good time. Gorgeous parasol. It's the perfect accessory for this outfit, dangerous or not ;)
P.S. The idea of putting the dress away for 9 to 10 months is rather sad. I've been thinking of ways to take it into autumn...
you are too adorable with that parasol. we do not take enough advantage of that beautiful accessory. thanks for your totem pole advice- so happy to have smart, cultured blog readers!

I love how this dress brings out the color of your eyes...sounds like your month home was a blast!
looks like a great time (and there's that amazing yellow dress again...)! i often find that outfits i put together for the blog turn out to be a bit unwieldy in public (hats that won't stay on my head, spike heels in the snow...). but at least it looks pretty, right?
I adore this outfit, one of my favorites ever! The fab dress, the colourful sandals, cutest glasses and the parasol, oh my! It all fits so so nicely together.
My biggest regret of the Summer was not having a parasol, I really wanted a Chinese silk one... Next year you'll see!

I already posted this on Streets and Stripes blog but I must tell you here again how amazing you look in yellow! That dress has the prettiest material and you look so pretty & dainty with that awesome parasol as well. & of course I love the luchador masks, wishing I would have gotten much more in Parque Chapultapec!
Holy fanciness! What a flattering dress on you.
