Guys, thanks so much for your warm & supportive feedback on my last post. Yay! I'm so thrilled to know you enjoy seeing items re-worn on the blog, as well as share my sentiment on it being more realistic. As a result, I'm feeling super excited to start re-mixing my pieces for fall. And to kick things off, I wanted to share with you four ways that I've worn my beloved mustard skirt. Looking to add one to your closet?... this one is pretty great!
Is there anything more delicious than late evening sun?! Sigh, I've been loving it! So with the new season officially here (I can hardly believe it!), I've been spending time re-organizing my closet: pulling out sweaters, organizing my tights, belts, hats and packing away all my summer dresses. Also, I went a little crazy this year and bought a brand new "basics" wardrobe - it feels beyond great... I'll be sure to share a little bit more about that later this week.
And speaking of closets?! I'm really hoping to buy less this season (hold me to it guys) and spend a little more time getting creative with what I own. Prepare yourselves for a lot more re-mixes. I have to admit, sometimes I feel a little guilty wearing the same piece on the blog, but then I think... hey, that's life, and so much more realistic. Am I right?! I'm also hoping to start purchasing more high quality pieces and less disposable fashion. I'm excited for that!
I swear taking photos during golden hour has got to be my new favourite. We're hoping to head out later this week to an abandoned heritage area/field and take more outfit photos. I can't wait. I just might have to pull out my favourite fall tights for that, and fingers crossed, we stop off for some ice-cream too - summer may be over but my longing for ice-cream is safely intact! ;)
Outfit Details:
Blouse Banana Republic Belt - Old Navy
Skirt - Forever 21

Yay, happy Friday, guys! I thought I'd mix up my usual sponsor spotlight post and do a Friday Favourites post instead. I had so much fun browsing all of these beautiful sites! With fall now officially starting tomorrow, I'm dreaming of adding pretty dresses + cozy knits to my wardrobe. I'm loving anything in shades of mustard, burgundy, navy, and dark chocolate brown. Ah, so pretty! What's on your fall list?!
1. The perfect little swing jacket for fall from Anthropologie. Wear it with skinny jeans, a patterned pencil skirt or over a fave dress. So lovely!!
2. I've been swooning over the vintage wallpaper dress all week. So cute! I'd love to pair it with burnt orange tights & t-straps. Voila, totally coffee date ready!
3. How delicious looking is this recipe from M Loves M?! I can't wait to make this old fashioned blueberry coffee cake - the only hitch? Not eating it all in one day!
4. I have a bit of a bag obsession. I usually buy a new one at the beginning of each season... and this bling bag from Jigsaw is absolute perfection. Plus, I love that it's big enough for my camera! ;)
5. I'd love to refresh our couch with this lovely striped throw. I adore mixing patterns in our home, and in fact, I hope to do a home tour on the blog soon. This lovely blanket can be found at Dwell Studio.
5. Love the collar, the subtle peplum and that pattern. Swoon! This rosy whisper floral blouse from Ruche would look so gorgeous with a pair of coloured jeans and flats.
6. Seriously, how adorable are these Modcloth light of heart wedges. The colour combo is so gorgeous + I'm such a sucker for wedge heels and straps.
7. Love this pretty vintage necklace from Dear Golden, such a pretty accompaniment to a cocktail dress for an evening out!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!!
Lots of love,
I can’t believe we are getting into tights season! Most days our temperatures are still incredibly warm but we’ve had a few cooler evenings and I'm happily taking advantage of them. I can’t wait to start layering more! This week, I’ve started noticing little signs of fall everywhere - I’ve spotted yellow & red leaves and I’ve even had the fireplace on a few times this week. It feels pretty great!
I love outfits like this: dresses, tights, booties. Super comfy & cozy! I can see this being a real go-to look for me this fall. As for the dress?! I bought it from Tieka’s shop, of Selective Potential - I seriously adore that girl's style! On a separate note, I’m thinking of opening my own online shop. My poor closet is overflowing with clothes and I'd love to make room for some new items. I’ll keep you guys posted.
Otherwise, it’s been a pretty busy week. I’ve been feeling extra motivated and catching up on little life bits... cleaning the car, sorting our budget, reviewing some investments, organizing our home and my business. It’s the stuff you never want to do, but then, it feels so great once you’ve done it. Tonight, I’m hoping to treat myself to TV watching & baking. Whoo-hoo! I'm eying this recipe, Flour-less Peanut Butter Cookies - I'll be sure to let you know how they turn out. Have a great day, everyone!
