Mint & Shades Of Grey

Nov 8, 2012

Sun! What a delightful and welcome change! This year, fall hasn't been that great for us. We've had so many grey and rainy days, well actually, more like torrential rain. So... when I saw the sun, I grabbed my tripod and ran outside like a crazy women. It was glorious out! So warm and sunny, I even ventured over to our neighbourhood coffee shop for tea and some patio time. Fingers crossed for more of the same over the weekend as Martin & I are taking four days off together. Can't wait!



As promised, I grabbed a photo of my anniversary ring from Martin. I just adore it... as much as I love my diamond engagement ring. I've been craving a little switch up and I really wanted something unique too. So this was just perfect! As for my outfit?! This is currently my fave fall go-to: beanie, pretty blouse, skinnies + booties. And to switch it up, sometimes I'll add a leather moto jacket or swap the skinnies for a pencil skirt. Love it!



As I mentioned earlier in the post, I'll be off for the next four days! Yes!! We'll be visiting with friends and family, and then on Sunday I'm off to see Lynn of Hearted Girl. Seriously, love that we've become friends. How amazing is blogging, right?! I'm looking forward to drinking tea, chatting, and cuddling with her super cute cats. Sounds like a great long weekend to me. Hope yours is wonderful too, friends!

Outfit Details:

Hat - H&M
Fresh Start Collared Blouse - ShopRuche
Skinny Jeans - American Eagle (similar)
Booties - Old Navy

  6. The ring is GORGEOUS!! I've been looking for another ring option as well, my engagement ring was inspired by Eyes Wide Shut (you know it had to be movie related!) and I'd love to find something cool to wear with it. Martin sure did great on his choice!!

    I love this casual outfit, the ligher colours are really cool for this time of year. Looking prettier than ever my friend!

  7. That Martin sure has great taste in jewelry - your ring is stunning! And I love the way the shade of blue works in a subtle tonal contrast with your turquoise blouse. So glad to hear Vancouver finally got a little sun after all of your miserable fall days... definitely haven't been missing those here in Paris. Give Lynn a huge hug for me when you see her - while I don't miss the weather, I have been lacking blogger meet-ups over here ;) Smooches!

  13. Oh my god, your anniversary ring is so gorgeous, what a lovely colour!!
    I love the combination of mint and grey in this outfit, perfect for a nice fall day. The weather you guys are having is much better than ours, we got a foot of snow yesterday. So I'm pretty happy to be escaping to Vancouver this weekend ;)

  52. Veronika that ring is spectacular! Whichever one of the two of us who picked it has great taste. Happy anniversary :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. oh Veronika, you just take fashion journeys in the best direction possible....every time! the stripped-down sweetness of this look has attitude but remains a swoon of femininity. i love the subtle + fluttery tailoring - i've sort of zoned out when it comes to muted tones but seeing this take on them makes me re-think things in a whole new way. thanks for taking this approach, it's fab and gosh you are super stunning!!!! you make the cold weather transition look so good lades, this is a sharp hitting mega(mint)-crush.

    um, your ring from Martin is gorgeous!! please wear it tomorrow so i can see it up close, it's beyond-beyond stellar. can't wait to see you guys & Scout-astic! bring along anything you like, i'll be anxious to learn more about your new regime. happy 4 days off together lovely - if any couple would make it count it'd be you two!! xo ♥

  54. That weather is such a contrast from the foggy (gorgeous) post before this! I also totally adore the color of your top. And your ring is adorable. And I have lost all ability to make a paragraph flow beautifully, so I'm going to give up. (:
