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!!

Ah, long weekends! We just enjoyed Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend + both Martin & I had four days off. Oh bliss. Is there anything better than time spent with your loved ones and getting to eat ridiculous amounts of pumpkin pie?! Nope, I think not. We also enjoyed some of the warmest fall weather (amazing!), strolled through the village, stopped for some Sunday coffee and ended it all off with a nap. A perfect long weekend in my books! ;)
Mmm, that muffin was so good. Haha, I really can't stop thinking about it! Oh, and many of you have asked what kind of breed our dog is... he's a poodle & American Eskimo cross, and seriously the sweetest. Lastly, I'll be back with a fantastic giveaway on Wednesday and an outfit post too. See you then!
So far this fall, it seems I've been drawn to simple outfits, perhaps not as dynamic to photograph but definitely where my style seems to be heading. I'm loving sharp knee length trench coats, dresses in muted tones (Madewell has the prettiest ones), oatmeal hued cashmere cardigans, and simple heels. Yup, so different from where I was a year ago. What about you guys, are you finding your own fashion choices to be changing or evolving this fall?!
My honey (aka Martin) and I took these photos on our most recent date night. Truth be told, our date nights have been a bit of a challenge lately. I'm still on my super strict hypo-allergenic diet and can't eat at any restaurants... not fun, can you believe it's already been three months?! Thankfully, I'm finally getting my allergy test results this weekend and I'm counting down the days for when I can visit a super fabulous & tasty restaurant - you can bet I'll be going all out for that!!
Is anyone else counting down for the weekend?! I so am! Martin has four days off and we have lots of fun plans: spending an afternoon with his parents for thanksgiving, it's my moms big 60th birthday on Sunday, there's talk of doing a little day trip and visiting our local antique fair. I'm on the lookout for a round brocade style mirror which I'll be painting a powder blue and hanging above our bed. Well on that note, have a great day guys... and a happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians!
Outfit Details:
Top - Club Monaco
Skirt - H&M
Shoes - Aldo (similar)

Fall seems like the perfect time to slow life down. I've been spending mine making delicious soups & dreaming up cookie recipes, as well as ending my work days off with the most gorgeous walks. I love seeing all of the colours, feeling that crisp air, and seeing the sun set over the ocean. Pretty great! Fall is also my favourite time to reflect and start new projects. So far, I've been working on a new jewelry collection and a re-brand
of my jewelry shop. Yay, can't wait to share! I'm also tackling our bedroom
and painting a striped feature wall. So fun, right?! Hope you're enjoying a beautiful fall day, friends!

I love to share classic style with a cozy, elevated twist. Thrifting, nesting, and finding magic in the everyday.
