Living through Ottawa weather is one thing as residents that we can take pride in. So instead of complaining, why not embrace this ridiculous humidity, slather on the sunscreen, and create your very own getaway in The Glebe.

My current obsession is all things Mexican. The food, the lifestyle, and the colours are all so vibrant. It is a warm welcome to the summer to see a palette of oranges and turquoises. The chunky beads and ribbed/knotted bracelets are a great accent to any summer outfit.

Mexican inspired prints in both men and women are also a bold statement for summer. These unique pieces are not short of flavour and will add a lot of spice to an outfit. Don’t be shy, summer is the perfect time to test out a bold statement print.

So take a stay-cation in your own neighbourhood this week. Embrace the heat haze, rock the vibrant palettes and prints of Mexican flare, and chill out on Feleena’s patio with a margarita, the perfect side to an evening out in Ottawa.
