Morning Sun

Oct 12, 2012

These photos were taken late last week, right before the temperatures fell. But my goodness, so far this fall has been ridiculously glorious. Warm, so warm, and absolutely no rain. But apparently all good things must come to an end because this week we've been getting hit with cold temperatures and loads of rain. Consider yourselves warned... my next outfit post may include an umbrella, tights & a scarf! ;)


I purchased this super pretty dress earlier this summer from Madewell - it was actually my first purchase from them and I'm now officially addicted to that store. And I know you're nodding your head, Lynn... hehe, my fellow Madewell soul mate. I'm hoping to re-style the dress again once our late fall temperatures hit. Any suggestions?! I'd love to hear your ideas; how fun would it be to style it based on your feedback.




Other than that, I've been on a bit of a shopping binge as of late. I just bought new skin care from philosophy and earth science, as well as Moroccan oil (amazing!) along with bumble and bumble hair products. I also recently did a major closet over-haul and purchased a new basics wardrobe. And now, I'm eying some fun pieces from Ruche to spice up those basics. They have the prettiest things for fall right now. I'm certain I could just order the whole darn site. Haha, oh boy, it's tempting!!

  5. Why is there always so much pretty stuff available in the shops? It's been ridiculously difficult lately not to spend all my money on pretty autumn clothes. It's been freezing here lately too, I actually had to pull out my gloves this morning. Yuck.

    You look lovely, that dress is fantastic, and great for remixing, it'll look fantastic with tights xo

  6. I love how you added that clutch for some extra pattern in the look- cute touch. And that dress is super pretty, and it looks like it would match with everything. I think if you paired it with maroon tights and brown boots it'd look super cozy and fallish

  7. Great dress!! I could see it paired with the ever-popular Oxblood color and that same leopard clutch!

  19. I would still this pretty dress with soft pink or mauve tights and add a black cardigan , and some laceup victorian boots. I would turn this into a dark romantic look. Very pretty for Fall.

    ReplyDelete
  20. These photos are just so beautiful Veronika! Enjoy that weather while it lasts. :)
    Oooh, I have to check out Madewell now...that dress really is a pretty one - especially with those perfect wedges and the navy cardigan. Hmmm, another way to restyle it would be by layering a sweater over it and adding some tights. But I'm sure you've already thought of all that. ;)

  21. You look gorgeous! I'm also a newbie to Madewell and I'm addicted. I think that dress would be great for the cooler weather with tights, booties, a scarf and a big, furry winter coat?

  31. There aren't many things I really miss bout North America, but Madewell has definitely made the short list. I always want to buy the whole store, and definitely eyed up this dress in the summer. So pretty! And I love the way it looks in these golden photos, so glad Vancouver has had a lovely fall for once... Sad to hear the rain has started, but I know you'll look just as lovely with an umbrella ;) Smooches.

  35. hey you, i swelled from the sweet inclusion here today! thanks v!! soul mates in more ways than one, remember our 1st blogging acquaintance, i still can't get over the timing of that. too cool!

    so glad your darling dress finally got shipped, this petite cut looks so great on you. not only do i hold up the Madewell We LOVE You sign along with you but i also spy that coveted clutch sweet touch. always a fave!!

    dude, did you get a load of what appeared outside today? ominous cloud cover and that darned rain's come back. boo urns! i'd way rather peep your pics any 'ol day :) you're constantly curating something special. i could totally see that dress with some plaid remix or a wooly navajo pattern-ish sweater plus red or other saturated color on your pretty lips! it'd be uber cute in a pumpkin patch with jeans (skinnies cuffed) underneath, fitted leather jacket, yummy scarf & gummy or combat-esque boots too.

    yah for new skin care stuff, i love Moroccan oil. i've used Josie Maran's line for a long time, it's fantastical. happy www shopping hauls lades, i find it very irresistible also. ha! wishing you all a wonderful weekend!! xo ♥

  37. I so, so love that Madewell dress. I swoon over all their pieces, but have yet to purchase anything from them yet...crazy! lol

    The warm, amazing weather came to an end here in Seattle the other day too. Now it really feels and looks like fall, which I don't mind really :)

  43. LOVE THIS LOOK! Madewell has a killer collection. I could tell that this dress was Madewell before I even knew, so authentic and beautiful :) I love everything they have :) They need to open a store on my side of the ocean ^^ also, Ruche, a dream! Good thing the shippingfees are so high for me or I'd be broke all the time ^^ :) x

  44. That dress is really gorgeous, no wonder you fell in love with it! I think it'll layer really nicely too, with tights!

  45. I just discovered your blog, and I absolutely love your style! You look so feminine and pretty in this outfit. I have the same shoes! :) I haven't purchased anything yet from Madewell, but it's on my to-visit list next time I travel to the States. Cheers from a fellow Canadian!

  52. The dress is perfect! It's as if it was made fore you. I have yet to shop at Madewell, but you are inspiring me for sure!

    You look beautiful and bare legs! Oh how lovely BC sounds! We have been wearing tights here for about two weeks but the colours are amazing, so it makes up for it.

    Glad to see you feeling happy & well :)

  57. That dress is so gorgeous! I totally agree with you- I certainly would wear Ruche's entire site as well (if only I had an endless spending amount!) haha! Actually, I think all of us could ;). I think you could wear a printed cardigan with colorful tights along with this dress! SO cute! I just recently purchased a bunch of basics as well, but I was mainly missing tops from my wardrobe more than anything! Every time I shop I always end up buying a cardigan, dress, or skirt of some sort lol. I'm trying to break free of that! ;)

  58. I've been away from the blogging world for a while and I'm pleasantly surprised to see you with a slightly different style and hair. I looove the side swept bangs on you. You look way prettier with them since you can actually see more of your eyes and face. Also love the more"classic" looks now! I also hope you are feeling better. Ha, I feel like i'm commenting on such old news!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Looove the dress! Also, question -- is the blurriness in the background from your camera lens, or is it an effect on Photoshop? It's perfect!!

  60. I love your dress! I always want to shop at Madewell but my wallet always wins on that subject. they have the prettiest clothes though!

    your hair looks cute with the side bangs. :)
