I think you will love it if you enjoy a good, un-health-conscious but delicious meal, I would highly recommend the Island view restaurant ... Not a bit fancy, but delicious. The fish cakes were amazing!! Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style/page/2#post-1952617 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 15:41:16 +0000 Carla 1952617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! Small world. That's where we will be staying when we are in Nova Scotia! I'm checking the weather and packing my bags this weekend! Per your comment on my packing thread, I'll make sure to pack sweaters and bug spray! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952531 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 06:54:08 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 1952531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit!<br /> Thanks for the heads-up about Halifax.

My kids braved the water as did DH but I didn't ... A wet suit is definitely a great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952415 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 18:56:27 +0000 Anonymous 1952415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Id be happy to plop myself down by that bonfire:) Sounds like a great trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952413 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 18:42:03 +0000 Carla 1952413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How was the water, TG? DH and I are off to Nova Scotia next week. We will be south of Halifax at a place near Chester and I'm wondering if I should bring my wetsuit for open water swimming. I like your sweater and shorts outfit. Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952409 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 18:21:41 +0000 Helena 1952409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We did - we spent time in Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Peggy's Cove, all of which were filled with bright, Cape Cod style homes in happy colors just faded enough to harmonize with the coastal setting. I imagine they are a relief in the gray of winter. So beautiful - almost like a movie set, it was so perfect. Truly my happy place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952393 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 17:21:52 +0000 LaPed 1952393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit; I agree with Jenn that this has a very Ines de la Fressange vibe. And I especially like the canvas sneakers! I'd never think to pick that colour, but it looks great and I bet it's super versatile.</p> <p>I love Nova Scotia; I'm not a city person, but Halifax is a city I could live in. Your point about how the coastal light softens and naturalizes bright colours is dead-on; did you get a chance to visit Lunenburg? It's a fishing village outside of Halifax known for its brightly painted houses:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.roughguides.com/article/lunenburg-canadas-most-colourful-town/">https://www.roughguides.com/ar.....rful-town/</a>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952392 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 17:12:00 +0000 Helena 1952392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow Jenn, that just made my day (month ... maybe year). She is one of my muses for sure!

I love the coast, and grew up on the west coast. You look great in your shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952224 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:25:16 +0000 Helena 1952224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a very thin, lightweight sweater in ink blue ... Sort of a funny, cool-ish but warming up day today, so the combination worked for my morning jaunt with the offspring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952220 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:17:10 +0000 Angie 1952220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Halifax looks like the Oregon Coast. Pretty.</p> <p>Fabulous shorts, and I'm very happy you're happy :)</p> <p>Btw, are you wearing a sweater or a tee with the shorts, Helena?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952212 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:55:54 +0000 Helena 1952212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks you guys :)</p> <p>Lisa, I would highly recommend it - especially if you are in any way into history, Halifax is great. The good, bad and ugly of Canada is all there, presented, we felt, with honesty and compassion. We loved Pier 21 and the Africville Museum especially. And the coast was absolutely STUNNING.</p> <p>The shorts are the best shorts I've ever had - BR from probably five years ago and I've never found the exact same fit, so I am loathe to part with them, even though they are starting to show some wear and tear boohoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-happiness-halifax-style#post-1952206 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 13:31:41 +0000 Anonymous 1952206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - great fitting shorts ! &nbsp;I have serious envy . &nbsp;I've only been to Halifax once, years ago, and would love to see it again. &nbsp; </p>
