One of these days we have to visit Winnipeg and surroundings.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-gimli#post-977613 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:09:23 +0000 Mochi 977613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those shoes are an amazing find. I am enjoying this simple, summery but still delightfully individual outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was a bit confused--you went to Iceland? But how cool. I really want to visit this place, and this store! Plus, I want to try&nbsp;the best latte ever, right?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-gimli#post-977605 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:06:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 977605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire - tomorrow's post will be incredibly dull. What do you include in a WIW post for laundry and gardening day???</p> <p>The handle on the vintage bag is Bakelite (you have a good eye!). I have an EXTREME sugar eye for anything Bakelite, which is getting increasingly hard to find at reasonable prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-gimli#post-977598 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 23:01:22 +0000 Anonymous 977598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We could never tire of Casual Shannon! Your travelogues alone keep us hankering for more. You are managing a very nice stay-cation I'd say, and those tacos sound amazing!</p> <p>This is just the sort of outfit that looks appropriate for the day's activities. I love your jute-trimmed floral shoes and that handbag is fabulous! Is the handle covered with leather or is it Bakelite? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-gimli#post-977562 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 22:33:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 977562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had a lovely day today and there was such a lovely breeze off the lake. I could have stayed all day...there is also a new "gastro pub" in Gimli (only open for two months now) called Ship &amp; Plough and so we went there for lunch instead of our usual. One of their lunch specials is fresh pickerel tacos (strips of lightly sautéed pickerel topped with a broccoli slaw, fresh cilantro and a bit of chipotle sauce wrapped in a fresh tortilla) - it was AMAZING!!! Will definitely be going back there. I think there should be a law that you can't go to Gimli and NOT have fresh pickerel!</p> <p>Suz - you are so right about one of the the world's top 10 beaches. Grand Beach, about 45 minutes north east of Winnipeg, has one of the best beaches in the world and has actually been showcased in several travel magazines and on travel TV shows as well.</p> <p>Thanks for the kind words about my outfit. I hope you're not getting sick of Casual Shannon yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-gimli#post-977399 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:41:14 +0000 Vicki 977399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was getting ready to talk about you and then I got diverted thinking about those pickerel burgers and coffee. &nbsp;I want to go to Gimli!!!</p> <p>You look like a refreshing kiss of lemonade in that yellow top and then there are those great floral shoes to kick it up. &nbsp;Finally, there's that close-up photo that I crave, because I can see all the detail of your gorgeous summer purse. &nbsp;Have fun, today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-gimli#post-977392 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:36:27 +0000 Glory 977392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon my sister has such a fondness for pickerel and orders it whenever she can. Or course outside of Manitoba it can be very difficult to get. So nostalgic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-gimli#post-977243 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:20:06 +0000 Anonymous 977243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved reading your description of Gimli.

I love yellow and blue together but yellow isn't kind to me.

Gimli is one of my favourite small towns about an hour north of Winnipeg, right on the lake. It's got a lovely beach with a boardwalk, a fabulous little restaurant that serves fresh pickerel burgers from fish&nbsp;caught that morning, a coffee house that makes the best lattes I've ever had and my favourite store in the entire world, Tergesen's. This store has been around over 100 years and has the tin ceiling and creaky wooden floors to prove it. The store carries clothing, some jewelry, a few kitchen goods and a wonderful assortment of books. There is also a lovely store called&nbsp;Koma Heim in the town which carries handmade artisan pieces from all over the world. Many of the jewelry pieces my husband has bought me over the years come from that store.&nbsp;</p> <p>We're heading to Gimli for the day and comfortable clothing is needed. We'll be doing a fair bit of walking plus it's going to be extremely hot today. I started out with a drapey white/yellow tank. I really love this type of tank for hot summer days - nothing too clingy in the heat please. It may not be the most flattering silhouette but that's not my primary focus for today. I've paired the tank with my faded blue cuffed denim Bermuda shorts and my floral lace up shoes. My handbag is my vintage woven with the Bakelite handle.</p> <p>What do you think? does it all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Tank: Laura Petites (thrifted)<br />Shorts: Reitmans<br />Shoes: Blowfish<br />Handbag: vintage </p>
