Look Book: Stripes, Bowties & A Kiss...

Oct 11, 2011

Don't you love when you plan an outfit but wear the exact opposite?! Yup, that was me this weekend, but I absolutely loved how it turned out. We spent most of this past weekend with friends & family and had such a blast. We found ourselves in the city enjoying a lovely dinner on Saturday, followed by a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with the fam on Monday. Aww, love holidays!
Also, a big thank you to Cee from "Coco & Vera" for being such a fabulous bloggy friend, and lending me this adorable skirt. It was the perfect outfit for our night out in the city! Plus, I just ordered the cutest fall-hued dresses & tights from ASOS in anticipation of the amazing fall hues and changing leaves! I can't wait!! It's my first fall as a fashion blogger and I'm so excited to document the gorgeous colours of the season.
Speaking of all things fall, I’m super happy to be carving a pumpkin later this week with the Mr! I seriously can’t believe it’s going to be my first!! I’m now on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin seed recipe. With the amazing fall weather and Halloween just around the corner, my goodness, what is there to not love about October?! Be sure to watch for our pumpkin carving photos next week! I know, I’m such a cheese-ball!
Outfit Details:
Hat - Thrifted
Top - H&M
Skirt - swapped with "Coco & Vera"
& her original post here: "Square Paul-Albert"
Tights - Hue
Shoes - Polly, Jeffrey Campbell

    Such a cute outfit, and lovely photos! It will also be my first fall as a blogger and I am so excited and feeling so inspired :)

    I can't wait to see your pumpkin carving photos - how fun. I love baking the seeds, I once found a great recipe that was very unique - butter, cinnamon, sugar... dessert seeds! They were delicious. I also like ones with garlic and salt. Yumm can't wait to make some.

    okay wait up now....your 1st pumpkin carving? how can this be? awe, you're gonna have so much extra fun then. glad you'll be documenting it for us, i'd love to see what you two come up with for the design. i bet the fur babes will be right there holding court among all the newspaper and pumpkin guts. look at that star quality - accessorized with a scarf and everything. 1 ear up kills me! xoox ♥

    Oh Veronika, I just love what you've done with my tutu! I've worn it so very many times, I had really run out of new ideas and seeing the way that you and Louise have styled it really makes me want to have it back in my closet so I can start restyling it again. I especially love the striped shirt and hat with it- with your red lips and blunt bangs, those French styling elements give you a real Francoise Hardy vibe in these photos :) Hope you enjoy carving the pumpkin. Make sure to roast the seeds after, they're delicious!
