Tribal on Graffiti

Top, Ripe (Winners). Culottes, Victoria’s Secret. Bracelet, Necklace, The Bay. Sunnies, (here). Bag, Coach.

Wearing a tribal print cropped top donated to the blog courtesy of my mom. Worn with an old pair of white culottes and strappy shoes. Ever since I can remember, me and my mom would exchange clothes. Sometimes she would drop by my closet and scan through the garments to see what she could pick out to wear. Although lately I have to admit it has been a bit one-sided in my favour. What’s really neat about these pictures is that my boyfriend and I ended up randomly meeting up with my parents downtown the day we took these photos. Which was nice as my mom got to see her tribal print top in action. Do any of you ever exchange clothes with your mom or siblings?

Happy Weekend!

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!
