Wednesday Wants

Bow Blouse // Camel Pencil Skirt // Camel Suede Pumps // Handbag // Silk Ribbon Bracelet // Tassel Bracelet

Flared Jeans (on sale!!) // Burgundy Turtleneck // Plaid Blanket Scarf // Ankle Boots

I am SO excited to tell you that it is (finally) easier to shop my posts. In addition to the links I always provide, the photos themselves are now click-able. Click on any item you want to see and you'll be taken directly to it *happy dance*. It took me an embarrassingly long time to get this done, so hopefully I get quicker at it each week! 

In case you missed it last week (see here) I've changed my Wednesday Wants a bit - instead of a mix of items I want, I will be showing items that work together for both a work day outfit and a weekend outfit.

As you can see, right now I am really loving camel and burgundy tones - they have made their way into both my work and weekend outfit ideas for this week. The camel pencil skirt is such a wardrobe staple - I highly recommend it as it can be worn in any season. Pairing it with the bugundy handbag and gorgeous navy and burgundy silk bracelet make the outfit perfect for a fall day at the office. 

For this week's weekend look these jeans on sale are AMAZING. Paired with a turtleneck and plaid blanket scarf you have a chic but cozy weekend outfit. 

I am still coming down from the high of seeing the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge this past weekend (more on that here if you missed it). I was very inspired by Kate's bold outfit (red pumps!) and I will be incorporating bold colors and details into my outfits this fall as well.

Wednesday Wants: Trendy Fall Items

Crystal & Tortoise Shell Earrings // Royal Blue A-Line Skirt // Ankle Booties // Gold Tassel Earrings

Black Crossbody  (under $50!!!) // YSL Handbag // Black Dress // Gold & Blue Tassel Earrings // Blue Jeweled Heels

I can't get enough of fall items right now. The rich colors and fabrics that are trending this season are just so beautiful! One of my favorite things about fall is getting to scope out the new fall trends. I think we can all agree, fall fashion is definitely the most fun & anticipated!

I am particularly in love with royal blue & tortoise shell this season. I also want to update my jewelry for fall - focus more on statement earrings and bracelets. I love the idea of statement earrings with a top knot as a work day staple this fall.

Have you started shopping for fall yet? What items or trends are catching your eye? I would love to know, so feel free to leave me a comment below! (... unintentional rhyming there. sorry about that! ha)

Casual Friday & Silver Jeans Giveaway

*Photos: Allyfotografy Media Co.*  

 Similar Cape  // Similar Turtleneck // Jeans c/o // Similar Boots // Similar Handbag (1), (2) // Earrings

I am all about capes right now. The weather in Vancouver is chilly; but not 'need-my-east-coast-winter-parka' kind of chilly, so I find myself reaching for capes quite often. I also love these Silver Jeans. They are my first ever pair from this brand, and I love the high waisted fit! After a long day in Court yesterday, I am very glad to be having a casual friday.

A couple of things to tell you all on this lovely Friday:

1) These photos were taken by the ah-mazing Allyson - a local BC photographer. She is a true beauty (inside & out) and such a local talent! Check her out if you need photos done! Her website again is here.

2) Today's giveaway is a pair (of your choosing) of Silver Jeans!!! The ones I am styling in today's pics are the Suki Skinny jeans. They are a curvy fit (and I love that!) and they run true to size (I'm a 28). Below are some of the other fits I like:

Aiko flares | Aiko skinny | Aiko distressed skinny | Suki Joga

Today's featured blogger is Jena from Spoonful of Faith. Good luck to everyone entering the giveaway!! Have a great weekend and I will see you back here tomorrow for our FINAL giveaway. It's the biggest/best yet- trust me, you don't want to miss it!

A dress for (f)all

Dress //  Ankle Boots  //  Earrings c/o //  Ring  //  Nail Polish

Despite the dropping temperatures, I remain a die hard "dress girl" when it comes to my non-office wear. In the fall, I opt for dresses in thicker materials, and I always pair them with ankle boots. You may remember these ankle boots from this post- where I talk about why these are the most flattering lil boots! 

I love this dress. The color is so gorgeous, the zipper detailing adds dimension, and the shape of the dress makes it universally flattering (... a dress for (f) ALL - get it?! ha) I decided to add statement earrings as a final touch for this look. These earrings are from Happiness Boutique, and they have a number of great statement earrings available.

I am looking forward to this first weekend of November. It has been quite cold and gloomy here in Vancouver so I think I may spend all of tonight curled up by the fire. I have been binge watching Downton Abbey lately, and can't seem to get enough!

The BEST ankle boots to elongate your legs (...and they are under $60!)

 Infinity Scarf: Aldo 

Denim: Levi's (love the rise of these!)

Boots: Joe Fresh 

Handbag: similar - here & here

 photographer: jayjay photography

I haven't shown you guys a casual 'what i wear on the weekend' post in a while, so I thought I'd show this cozy fall outfit. I love mixing stripes and plaid (as you may know from this post) so this is a go to weekend outfit for me.
 
These are hands down my go to fall boots. I initially grabbed these boots on a whim - while grocery shopping with my mom while I was visiting her! ha! - but I am SO glad I did. The "v" cut of the boots gives the illusion of length to your legs and is flattering on everybody!

Below is a round up of other "V front" boots that will have similar qualities in terms of lengthen the look of your legs. I gotta say the Joe Fresh ones are still my favourites though!

I had such a busy weekend and am definitely tired today! Does anyone else find October to be the busiest month of the year? 4 of my closest friends have their birthdays in October, my niece and goddaughter do as well, and then throw in Thanksgiving (Canadian) and Halloween and the month just seems to fly by! I hope you've all had a great month so far! See you back here on Wednesday (...at which time I will hopefully have caught up on sleep!)

Dress

Necklace

Lipstick Trio

Fringe Ankle Boots

Grey Oxfords

Happy Wednesday readers! I have been loving the trends in fall accessories this season. There is a huge emphasis on texture this year; especially in footwear. All of the selections above feature interesting/rich materials. I especially *love* the grey textured oxfords! And of course, with every fall season comes an emphasis on rich colors. I am particularly fond of all the rich wine and navy hues this fall.

Tonight I am meeting up with a bunch of local (Vancouver) fashion bloggers and am excited to bounce around ideas and get to know them! Should be a fun evening. I will see you back here on Friday for a post featuring fall fashion AND food (mmmm thanksgiving goodness....)
