My Fav Comfy & Cool Sneakers – Jambu’s Jenny Knit
July 14, 2022I LOVE Jambu’s new Jenny Knit sneakers so much that I had to have them in black as well as white! I seriously wore the white ones all over Vancouver on my vacation and they were so darn comfortable! I think these cute black ones with white trim will get even more wear.
This post is a collaboration with Jambu Footwear, a brand my readers know I support and wear all the time.

Vancouver & Secret Cove – What I Wore
July 8, 2022Just got back from a very fun vacation! First we went to Vancouver, Canada and explored the beautiful city. We loved all the cool architecture (from classic to modern) and the huge mountains on the horzion! Lots to do in Vancouver: we checked out the lovely harbor to watch the boats, Stanley Park for a bit of nature, Robson Street for shopping, and Gastown for some history.
Here is one of my favorite travel outfits that I wore to explore Granville Island, a cute place for restaurants, shops, and a pretty harbor.

This is what I wore for a day of sightseeing in the city. I don’t usually think of wearing skirts when I travel, but a flowy skirt with sneakers, a tee and a denim jacket is actually a totally practical and comfy look for a day of exploring!

A few snaps from Vancouver!





After Vancouver, we took a ferry north to the Sunshine Coast, we explored little villages along the coast and stayed at Rockwater Secret Cove Resort for three days of glamping in tent cabins along the water, complete with a spa tub and amazing views. We went hiking in the rain, kayaking in the sunshine, and enjoyed just relaxing in such a pretty place.





After our “interesting” trip to Eleuthra Bahamas last summer, we were so grateful to just enjoy a wonderful vacation, with a nice balance of activity and rest and a nice balance of city and nature!
Where are you off to this summer? What will you be wearing? Let us know in the comments!
Also on the blog lately, comfortable sandals and a summer kimono with statement earrings.

About the blog: Fashion Should Be Fun is me talking to you, other middle aged women like me who are over 40, but not over fashion. We still want to look beautiful and stylish. We still want to have fun with trends. And we don’t need anyone giving us rules, because we’re all different. We all have our own shapes and bodies, parts we’d like to cover and parts we still don’t mind showing off a bit. This is a place for me to share my love of fashion with you, style ideas, tips, trends, and inspiration. I know how liking the way we look can translate into confidence and energy. I know we have so much life left to live and so much adventure ahead of us. Let’s show the world you’re never too old to have fun and be fierce!
