A Bit of Knit...

I passed on this sweater dress the first time I saw it at Zara, but after a week of thinking about it non-stop, I knew I had to have it... And as luck would have it, I scored the last one! Must have been kismet. xx

Wardrobe Wednesday...

I thrifted this clutch last summer in Victoria for only $2.99, and so far it's been an invaluable addition to my collection. It's super roomy and versatile, and it's vibrant colour livens up any old outfit... Just look at how many times I've worn it already!

What's your go-to bag? xx

The Equestrian...

Is it just me, or does it look like I'm about to go ride a horse or something? Preppy layers and riding boots conspired to create an equestrian look that I was unaware of until I wrote this post... Sneaky sneaky!

Happy weekending, my sweets! xx

Caped Crusader...

Fall is a time for layers, textures and a deep colour palette... Plaid cape, anyone? xx

Seasonal Shift...

To me, this dress (last seen here and here) just screams Christmas... I mean come on, red plaid? It's undeniably festive. So when I wore it to a farmers market one crisp fall day, I couldn't help but think of all the upcoming yule-related cheer. Slightly premature? Yes, but fun all the same...

Happy Monday, lovelies! xx

Shorts Story...

One item on my sartorial wish list (along with this skirt) has long been faux leather shorts... Thanks to H&M, I was able to check both items off my list this year. Not too shabby.

What's on your wardrobe wish list? xx

Fall Layers...

Fall is definitely here, and I'm super pumped to be bringing scarves and tights back into steady rotation... There really is something magical about dressing in layers, isn't there? So cozy yet so polished. If I had my way, it would be fall everyday! If you're listening snow, I'm talking to you...

Leather & Plaid Is Totally Rad...

This outfit is another one of my "H&M specials." That's right my friends, pretty much everything I have on (save for the shoes, tights and necklace) hails from my friendly neighbourhood mass retailer. Hey, why mess with a good thing, right?

The top you've seen before here and here, but the blazer and faux leather skirt are brand new, baby! I had searched high and low for the perfect faux leather skirt last year, but failed miserably. So I'm sure you can imagine my delight when I found this one, which met all my criteria (except pleats) for under $40!

The blazer, on the other hand, was love at first sight... I had basically dreamt of finding a blazer just like it all summer long! I love plaid, and if I can find it in blazer form with elbow pads to boot, I'm one happy girl... Man I love fall shopping!

What are your favourite fall purchases so far? I wanna know! xx
