{Style} Bundled

Coat- French Connection | striped shirt- Saint James | faux leather skirt c/o Forever 21 | double-sided scarf- Zara (similar style) | booties- ShoeMint | bag- 3.1 Phillip Lim | lips ring- CC Skye | necklace- J.Crew Factory



Layers are a non-negotiable this time of year, but there's no reason not to spice them up with a little print-on-print (on-print-on-print) action. For me, that means stripes, plaid, houndstooth AND leopard, but hey, that's just how I roll. And even though it may sound like a seizure-inducing hot mess on paper, the visual is far from it... Or so I like to tell myself.

Happy Monday, friends! xx

{Style} Mountain Sound

Plaid shirt- J.Crew | turtleneck- J.Crew Factory | faux leather skirt c/o Forever 21 | blazer- Zara | booties- ShoeMint | tights- Joe Fresh | necklace + bangles- J.Crew | watch- Michael Kors 
Remember that trip to the mountains I referenced a couple weeks back? Well these photos were taken at the a lodge we were lucky enough to stay in. The weather was beautiful, the food and drink was plentiful, and we even saw our first fox, who was good enough to strike a pose for us... All in all, it was a good trip. And what's a good trip without proper attire, am I right? This plaid shirt/turtleneck combo screamed 'lodge-wear' to me, and when paired with a preppy blazer, it became the perfect hot-cocoa-by-the-doc, book-reading-by-the-fire look � Oh the power of fashion. xx

{Style} The Plaid Patch

In addition to exploring abandoned farms, the mister and I hit up an adorable pumpkin patch last weekend... There was a corn maze (my fave!), sweet treats and more pumpkins than I've ever seen together in one place � long story short, it was magnificent. Fall really is my favourite time of year, and taking the time to relish the season in any way possible has become a priority. It's so easy to get swept up in being busy and just let holidays � heck, even entire seasons � pass you by. So here's to all of us stopping to smell the pumpkin spice... Happy Friday! xx

{Style} Sweats and the City...

Celfie Tshirt- Sincerely Jules | sweat pants- Simons | bag- 3.1 Phillip Lim | studded pumps- ShoeMint | necklace c/o T&J Designs | ring- Saint Laurent | bangles c/o Forever 21 | watch- Michael Kors

Well here's a sight you probably never expected to see around these parts � faux leather sweat pants. In my defense, I was overcome by the sheer novelty (at least for me) and awesomeness that is these pants while hunting for holiday wear yesterday (but that's a story for another day). I sheepishly tried them on � half in disbelief over my selection, half in shame of my new-found admiration for shiny sweats � and scurried over to the checkout counter before I could change my mind. And you know what? Turns out I'm kind of in love with these ridiculous pants after all... Sorry, not sorry.

Happy Monday, friends! xx

{Style} Slouchy Sweaters...

Sweater- Rag & Bone (similar style) | faux leather skirt c/o Forever 21 | booties c/o Massimo Dutti | clutch- vintage Saint Laurent | necklace- Zara | ring- House of Harlow | bracelets c/o Forever 21 | watch- Michael Kors

 

Nothing says 'weekend wear' quite like slouchy sweaters and ankle boots, or as I like to refer to them, my new fall uniform. These suede Massimo Dutti booties in particular fit like a dream, and the very sight of them conjures up images of pumpkin fields and hot apple cider in my mind... Man am I ever ready for fall! And as far as this weekend goes, I'm thinking of getting hopped up on Pumpkin Spice Lattes and purging my closet like a mo-fo to make room for more booties and, well, slouchy sweaters... It's an evil, yet beautiful cycle.

Happy Friday, friends! xx
