The Wall


Cloak, c/o SammyDress (here). Leggings, Dex Clothing. Top, old. Heels, Aldo. Sunnies, Foster Grant (Rexall).

A spontaneous afternoon of gallivanting through Barrie, Ontario. Couldn’t have asked for a better outfit ensemble than this vintage style woolen blend cloak from SammyDress layered over a pair of faux leather leggings. Talk about the perfect Fall outfit with absolutely no effort required to style. The cloak in itself with the three button detailing is such a statement piece in my opinion. Such that it didn’t need much else to provide a classy look. This is exactly why I styled it all black with only subtle hints of leopard, so as not to take away from the appeal of the cape.
Another bonus was being able to tuck my hands inside the cloak and shield them from the gusts of wind as my hands tend to get cold easily. Hence why I’m hiding out behind a wall.
I was really happy to collaborate with SammyDress for this post and was also pretty impressed not only for the style, or quick shipping, but most importantly the price point for such a piece. Have a look for yourself at www.sammydress.com.

Zara Fall Essentials

Top, Blanket Scarf, Skirt, Laceup Flats, all Zara. Necklace, c/o Happiness Boutique. Sunnies, Foster Grant. Purse, Marc Jacobs. 

 
Picked up a few Zara fall essentials the other day. I got one of their plaid blanket scarves last year (here) and I lived in it all Autumn and Winter long. So I figured I may as well throw another one into the mix. What I love about this one? The dual print. Hence all neutral tones with leopard on onse side and the other striped. Of course the button front denim skirt and lace-up flats were a no brainer – must have this season.

Tulum Lace

Shirt, Forever 21. Top, old. Shorts, Gentle Fawn. Flats, Chinese Laundry. Purse, Marc Jacobs. Sunnies, Foster Grant.

 
The truth is I’m a total summer girl at heart and I won’t pretend to be someone else, not even for the sake of the blog. And by that I mean, that even though summer is officially over, my Fall strategy is to carry summer style outfits as far into Autumn as humanly possible (I say that because I get cold very easily).

What I typically do (weather permitting) is combine summer pieces that transition well into Autumn with Fall staples. The result, is something like this: a pair of Gentle Fawn tulum lace shorts with a laceup top, covered with a typical (and many times recycled) Fall style flannel shirt. Which is great for those chilly mornings and evenings, and easy enough to do without during the day.

Happy Friday and wish you all a lovely weekend!
