Look Book: Late Fall Evenings & A Vintage Skirt...

Oct 31, 2011

It seems most of my days off start with high hopes! This includes things like: going to the gym, cleaning the house, sorting my paperwork, and other non-exciting things. Needless to say, I did not go to the gym... nope, instead I settled on an afternoon nap, an amazingly delicious fall lunch (mashed potatoes & vegy stew) and the most delightful walk! Lately, I've been working really long hours, so days like this are just perfection!! ♥
Am I on a roll or what, guys?! Last week I featured beautiful yellow leaves, and this week I'm back with stunning red ones! My first fall as a fashion blogger is leaving me feeling super excited & inspired. I'm absolutely in love with taking outfit photos right now. And hooray, Martin did such a great job on these!!

I have been living in browns, mustard hues and earth tones lately!! I just received this gorgeous skirt from EL Vintage and (gasp!) it was love at first sight. The colours are absolutely perfect for fall and the silhouette is so pretty & girly. And the best part?! The skirt has a totally different pattern in the back. Yay, two skirts in one. Score! Alright friends, wishing you a happy Monday & Halloween!
Outfit Details:
Scarf - Handmade
Cardigan - Kersh (similar)
 Skirt - c/o EL Vintage

  38. how fabulous you look, with your vintage skirt, i'd love to borrow. it matches the leaves wonderfully. your navy wedge shoes with tight that look like mine. that sweater with the scarf. my days start with high hopes too, but well. i hardly ever accomplish all the things i think i will.

  40. You're right - Martin did a GREAT job on these photos! The colors are gorgeous, and that skirt is divine! And, by the way, my days always seem to start with lists of things that never get done...I'm trying to work on that! Everyone deserves the occasional afternoon nap though. :)

  54. Darn dreary weather indeed, but it looks like you found some lovely time to take these shots. I haven't seen any red leaves around our place and I'm loving these ones, especially since you managed to somehow coordinate them with that beautiful vintage skirt! You've mastered the fall palette beautifully. Happy Halloween!

  55. can i just start off by saying the red of the leaves and the luscious color you're sporting on those fab lips are magnificent together!!! not to mention the tie in of color pops alive once more with your skirt of joy! one day, when you two have your own kiddos i can just imagine the fun dress-ups going on...man, i think every girl (grown up or otherwise) would be the blessed, best dressed by having you in their lives. i think you're my dream sister...wait....okay, you, Cee and Alex - that's not asking too much right?! oh how i'd kill for that scenario in my life!

    ah, the high hopes thing, dag hey? it sometimes doesn't work out exactly as we'd wish but how good are afternoon naps? it's like skipping out of school or calling in sick, best feeling of free ever : )

    good for you lades, we all have to break off from the lists once in a while, they're always waiting to be checked off but the time we take for ourselves is ultra importanto too!

    Martin shout out - his shots are fantastic! he always captures you in the very best light, not that it's a difficult task but you feel the love shine through when he takes your pics most def.

    happy halloween beautiful lady, it was a blue sky kinda day and that's gotta have been one where you got out to gaze up from the screen for a while, i hope so anyways! xoox ♥
