Classic Tones

Oct 29, 2012

The past few days have been blissfully quiet. Just the way I like it! Mornings have been spent going for fall walks with Scout (our pooch) and marveling at all the leaves. Our neighbourhood is just so pretty this time of year... we’re surrounded by mountains, ocean, and so many gorgeous trees. I love seeing them turn rich hues. It’s so inspiring + it immediately lifts my mood. There’s nothing better than walking around in a cozy sweater, a hot beverage, and taking the time to witness those special life moments. I adore it!


So just the other evening, Martin & I enjoyed the cutest date. I took a few photos and I’ll be sure to share them with you guys. We decided on a date night in and baked cookies together. So fun! Neither one of us has baked before and we’re trying to learn. We made gluten free, vegan + chocolate chip cookies. Mmmm, they were incredibly tasty! Any other vegans or non-wheat eaters out there?!




As for the outfit, it’s safe to say this is my new favourite. There’s something so perfectly classic about dressing in tones of cream, black & brown. And in order to give the outfit some pop, I went with a red lip. Loved how it all came together. Also, I just finished planning out the rest of my fall outfits today, and now I’m getting so excited to share them with you. Yay! I love being organized! ;)

Knit Hat - H&M

  9. What gorgeous snaps, Veronika - although I rarely notice the lack of trees in Paris, I feel it acutely when I see beautiful fall photos from home! And of course, this look is hands down one of my favourites from you. My love of neutrals seems to be on an upswing lately and I could just see myself stepping into a look like the this one, complete with a gorgeous red lip like yours! Hope all is well :) Hugs.

  29. First off I love your blog and your outfits are always very inspiring. I love it even more now though because I am also vegan and gf!! I am allergic to eggs and lactose and gluten intolerant. Its always nice to hear of someone else who has the same diet as me :)

  31. I'm vegan but I do eat wheat. I dated a guy who had celiac's for a few years, so I definitely (tried to) master gluten-free, vegan baking. it's tough, but it sounds like one of the most useful hints is to use a kitchen scale for weighing out flours rather than measuring them in a cup.

    Love your blog, and these photos are gorgeous! (Has anyone ever told you you look just like Schuyler Fisk?)

  32. love the red lipstick, would love to be able to pull that off!

  33. That lipstick looks amazing on you, you're right, it's a lovely pop of colour added to your look. Those boots are gorgeous, they look so cosy xo

  62. i'm sure, after what you've gone through the last while, that you've found a whole new appreciation when out on those walks. total peace time to infuse yourself with all the goodness nature offers. wonderfully simple and intoxicatingly drawing. um, and when you look as darling as you do i think nature kind of pays respect right back-atacha too!!!!

    you gorgeous thing! this outfit is simply great. i've seriously thought about getting those wanted boots... like now!! you can never have too many booties, that's for darn sure. you make fall fashion fun. the classic tones really make an outfit - total statement all put together this way. i’m now inspired to wear cream, black & brown together more often!

    loved hearing about your date with Martin, too cute! this is a good tip for me when planning the 11th festives....mmmmmm

  63. Complete gorgeousness lady! I am such a fan of Fall foliage, and I love how your outfit is totally stunning, but lets the leaves be the star of the color show! Planned all your Fall outfits!? Jealous!
    Also, I try to eat less gluten, but have such a hard time when I got out... at home, a total rockstar... out of the house... not. so. much. Would love to hear some of your tips!

  79. Yay for vegan & gluten-free baking! My husband is allergic to dairy & eggs, so all our baking is vegan. And now I'm in the process of being tested for gluten sensitivity or Celiac, so I've been pouring over gluten-free recipes. So just like "veganizing" my baking, I'm looking at gluten-free as a fun challenge for the kitchen...and hopefully the answer to feeling normal & healthy again! So take heart knowing there's another couple out there going thru lots of kitchen success and hilarious kitchen fails, as we figure out how to modify ingredients! Here's to gluten-free cookies and vegan ice cream!
