          Often, I get so caught up with a piece of clothing I just keep finding ways to wear it. This has been the case with the new sleeveless knit I blogged about in my last post. It is so cozy I  have not wanted to take it off, so I basically haven’t. I…

                    I’ve been seeing long layers all over the place lately in fashion! Midi is definitely competing with the mini for attention this fall, and even the top layers have longer hemlines this season. I was getting all this inspiration at the same time I realized that a bunch of dresses I…

    greyscale 

                Some of my favourite looks are totally devoid of colour like this one. Grey and black are just so easy to pull together and if you do it right with unexpected textures or details you can sill stand out without any bold hues. These grey boots are probably the best example…

    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…

                      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…

    well-loved autumn classics 

          As much as I love shopping for a new season (who doesn’t!) it’s even more rewarding to have collected some favourite pieces I’ve been wearing for years. Knowing I have some oldies but goodies I can’t wait to dig out of the closet once the weather turns reminds me that there is more…
