When it comes to transitioning from summer to fall, it is often bittersweet for me. As much as I look forward to the exciting new colours and textures of the season, the summer girl inside of me cries a little for the loss of summer and skin baring warm weather. Although with Fall come playful textures, deep and rich red and golden hues. In addition, Fall gives us the opportunity to be more creative with your layering game. Enter that perfect summer to fall transitional piece…

As soon as I laid my eyes on this tunic not only did I adore the cut, but I fell in love with the bold 70’s nostalgia print. I tend to stick to cooler colours but the boldness of this print screamed fall to me. While the cut and length of the tunic appeased the eternal summer girl inside of me. And my absolute favourite part?? Pockets!! Yes, I do get excited over pockets on dresses and skirts.

The ultra short length of this tunic makes it the perfect dress for those late summer days. And the colour palette will compliment those bold red and yellows we associate Fall with. I am almost looking forward to slightly cooler temperatures so that I can start layering this tunic over pants and denim. It’s pieces like this that help to ease my discontent about the end of summer days and Free People has been killing it this season with what I deem the oh so perfect summer to fall transitional piece. It seems like most of their dresses were made with the intent to provide an effortless transition into fall (case in point here). What are some pieces you are really looking forward to wearing soon? Are tunics and summer dresses in your rotation for Autumn?

One item that should be in your closet this Fall season is the military jacket. I’m fortunate enough to have one from a few years ago that I held onto, and I usually throw it into rotation around this time of year. Even more reasons to wear them, military jackets are everywhere this season and so I’m looking forward to styling this one in the coming months.

Another staple of mine for the autumn and winter months are leggings. When I saw this cute pair from Free People I was drawn to them immediately because of the cutout and button detailing along the sides. I typically wear leggings with flats or more casual shoes. But these leggings were just so cute that they deserved a nice feminine heel to compliment them. I’m really happy with how they worked out, especially with this military jacket for an ultra feminine military chic look.

I find it’s always a bonus when you can score leggings that not only look cute casual but can also be dressed up. Likewise if they are a statement piece on their own, for those days when you’re lazy but still want to look stylish. They also come in lots of other yummy colours for Fall (here). It’s pieces like this that make this summer lovin’ girl get excited about Fall. What about you, any pieces that you’re really looking forward to styling this Fall?

Magical Mystery Tour indeed. Sometimes the Universe aligns itself to create serendipitous events, and for once I got to experience that kind of magic. My boyfriend and I had planned a roadtrip up to the Bruce Peninsula (Lake Huron/Ontario) for earlier this week. It was going to be a laid back get-lost-in-the-middle-of-nowhere kinda trip (hence the mystery tour). Now here’s where the magic comes in…Merely a few days before our trip two wonderful things happened. First, I found out I’d be taking over Bloglovin’s Snapchat for part of our trip. Secondly, this beautiful tunic for a collaboration with one of my absolute favourite brands, Free People arrived. Never thought it would arrive in time for our trip, but when this bell sleeve mini dress showed up two days before we left I was ecstatic to know we’d be able to shoot it in the beautiful wilderness of the Bruce Peninsula. 

By now you must know that I am a total summer girl at heart, but for the first time in a long while I am actually excited for Fall. Bell sleeves are huge for this Fall season. And if the sleeves off this tunic are any indication of what to expect, then I am looking forward to every minute of it! This bell sleeve mini dress tunic also comes in a blue print, but I opted for a warmer mauve so that I could easily transition this piece from a mini summer dress into a tunic that I can layer over bottoms
 
I absolutely adore the boho print and versatility of this tunic and am looking forward to styling it differently once the weather cools down. Free People has many beautiful bohemian styled pieces in their line up right now. All with great colour palettes that will transition effortlessly from now well into the Fall season. See for yourself at FreePeople.com. Oh and I suppose I should also add that the Beatles had lots of airplay during this trip – also unplanned.
