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

Do The Polka...

You've seen them sprawled across magazines, catwalks and virtually every square inch of retail space lately... That's right my friends, I'm talking about polka dots. There's nothing new about this timeless print, but the seasoned dot is hitting fall hard this year and I couldn't be more pleased. I don't know about you, but I plan on loading up with as many dot-emblazonded items as my wardrobe (and wallet) can handle this year!

What's your favourite trend for fall? xx

Back Again...

So after spending a lovely a summer back home on the west coast, I just returned to Edmonton (my home away from home) for my final year of j-school... We walked through the door yesterday around 10:30 am, and can you guess where I was by that very afternoon? That's right, my friends - the West Ed Mall! (My home away from home away from home... if that makes any sense). Sad? Maybe, but I had missed that monstrosity of a mall more than words! True Story.

Now I don't know if it was me trying to be good or my lack of sleep, but I walked out of the mall with only one thing: a salmon coloured H&M blouse. It was super cheap ($19.90!) and proved to be the perfect top for errand-running today. I love the fit (slightly oversized) and asymmetrical cut, with the back considerably longer than the front. I had wanted a top like this all summer long, but Victoria is slightly lacking in the shopping department... *Understatement*

What can I say? It's good to be back!

Into the Meadow...

These photos were taken spur of the moment while strolling through the park... I wasn't necessarily prepared for them, but we were so taken by the lovely scenery that we really couldn't resist. Doesn't it just look like the dreamiest autumn backdrop? Not that I'm complaining about all the lovely weather we've finally been having, but all that golden grass made me yearn for the days of warm layers, deep hues and textured tights... Does that make me sound crazy? Maybe. But the grass is always greener on the other side.

Water Baby...

I'm all about the maxis these days... Can you tell? I love their versatility and how truly wearable they are. Plus I don't have to worry about my pasty legs frightening children; it's a win-win.

Have you guys climbed aboard the maxi-skirt express?

Wardrobe Wednesday...

When I saw these sandals at Winners last weekend, I instantly knew I had to have them... First of all, I really liked the design (toga party anyone?) as well as the material - they're jellies! How awesome is that? And as you can imagine, a total throwback to my childhood ;)

Finally, these bad boys are surprisingly comfy and, here's the clincher, super cheap! At a whopping $25, how could I resist? *sigh*

What kind of summer sandal are you guys rocking this year? I wanna know! xx

Fancy Pants...

Well, crazy pants might be more like it, but let's go with "fancy" for now... it just sounds better, doesn't it?

I'm still on my fuchsia kick, so I decided to get a little cray-cray and pair my current favourite vest with my, well, loud H&M pants... What do you guys think? I felt super out-there at first, but the longer I wore this outfit, the more comfortable I became. This level of comfort did not extend to my footwear, however, as I quickly experienced shooting pains and spasms in my toes. Well, I guess you can't win 'em all...

Happy Monday, everyone! xx

Leisure Lace...

Hi everyone! How were your weekends? Mine was pretty action-packed, including dinner with friends, drinks, and lots of running around... Fun! Yesterday was a little more relaxed though, which you can probably tell from my outfit. We took a nice walk through the park with a couple of friends from out of town, stopped by the petting zoo to check out all the cute animals (hello, baby goats!), and had some seriously delicious ice cream before calling it a day... What about you? Fill me in, lovelies! xx
