playing with textures

Three of my favourite textures to work with this fall are suede, denim and leather. The combination of soft suede, tough leather and rugged denim gives a nice variety to this look and is a tie in for a few major things we’ve been seeing for fall. Suede has been everywhere the past…

how to pull off business casual

Big news everybody, I will be turning 25 in a week and a half! It’s hard to believe, but I will be officially out of my early twenties. Something came up on my newsfeed the other day about how you know you’re 25 when…and while most days I feel anything but younger…

canadiana

Some days it’s good to just be cozy and warm. Those are days for flannel shirts, silky jersey tops and jeans with a lot of stretch in them. Put on some sunglasses to cover those tired eyes and go! I love a good plaid and this one has been kicking around…

sweater weather

Right now is the weird twilight zone between seasons where you see pedestrians in everything from shorts and flip flops to winter coats. It’s freaking freezing in the morning and as soon as the sun goes down, but mid day and in the right light it’s almost like summer is still around. I’ve…

how to make a seamless transition to fall

Remember this dress and when it was warm enough outside to not wear tights? Me neither. August flew by and the warm weather has mostly gone away with it. We were spoiled all summer with heat wave after heat wave, but the past few days have been a violent reminder about how much it sucks to…

budget friendly fall basics

In fall more than any other season I lust over high ticket items like jackets, leather boots and gorgeous knits that cost an arm and a leg. Though some of these pieces are worthy of an investment, I’m not in the market for anything fancy right now. However, I did find some great…

leather jacket weather

A leather jacket is the most versatile outerwear pieces in my wardrobe. If you want the real thing it will set you back a bit, but it truly is a staple for me pretty much year round. I personally love this biker type style and find it wears well with just about everything.…

must have fall accessories

Fall is a great time to up your accessories game. It is the perfect weather to throw on a hat, scarf or tights for some warmth, but not cold enough yet that you have to totally bundle up and hide your whole outfit. In Vancouver we probably get more of this than the…
