Fall. The most wonderful time of the year. Boots and tights! Tights and boots! Summer was just atrocious this year. Too hot and too humid for my liking so I'm over the moon to finally have cooler temperatures. One big reason why is I finally got to wear the boots featured in the post that I bought in July.
I had a visitor this weekend - my friend S from Halifax! We did Toronto Broadway style. Or we would have if I didn't like to be in bed by 9pm. We went to the Art Gallery and the pottery museum and did some shopping in Yorkville. That's where I bought this dress.
Dress: Benetton
Tights: who knows
Boots: Fluevog Libby Smith (swoon)
Yes, I have these boots in grey and green but these are SO SHINY! And the buttons are BLUE! Heather at the Queen St store set a pair aside for me when they came in. Isn't that sweet? (and possibly kinda expensive.)
So I got this dress at Benetton. It comes in about 6 colours but I went with plain grey. When I was in high school my friends and I used to drive to the mall in Kitchener to go to Benetton. It was the bomb and I couldn't really afford much there. Everyone in high school had their rugby shirt and it was the style to bleach everything - even $100 brand new shirts.
I probably should have bought this in another colour too.
Look at my shiny boots! So shiny!
In other news, I found these uber vintage Fluevog boots at a store in my neighbourhood. Alas they were a size 6 so too small for me. I showed the picture to Kaley, who works in the Fluevog store and she went and bought them for herself on the weekend. Lucky ducky!
I would have killed for these boots in the 80s. I bet Amber had a pair.

'Aint Laurent Without Yves
Tee-Cotton On/Blazer (coat) - Mr.Price/Loafers-Zara/Bag-Céline/Bracelet- Hermés
Okay, okay I admit it- I'm completely obsessed with this tee! Love the slogan and the oversized fit, and I love it paired with almost anything too, be it skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, shorts...you name it! For this look, I paired it with my oversized blazer/coat and my studded loafers from Zara. I adore the edgy feel it gives to a simple outfit :)
Have a lovely day everyone!

Pyjama Style Jogger Pants
Blazer-Trenery/Shoes-Rage/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Vest-Mr.Price/Necklace-Mr.Price
Love the easy going feel of these pyjama style joggers, they're so comfy! The print is so pretty, and it paired perfectly with this amazing waterfall blazer (I love it). I'm also obsessed with these loafers, the shape is just stunning, and the subtle patent black, along with the little gold details on the shoe are gorgeous too!
Have a wonderful day everyone!!

All Black With A Touch Of Camo
Knit- Country Road/Pants-Woolworths/Necklace-Cotton On/Sneakers-Zara/Bag-Céline/Bracelet-Hermés
The subtle camo detail on these skinny jeans is perfect, it's barely noticeable yet adds a fun twist to the otherwise plain black tone. I rolled them up a bit on the ankles for a different look- and paired it with an oversized black knit, and my pony hair Zara sneakers. I loved the simplicity, it's great for a casual day out shopping with my mom:)
Have a great week everyone!!

I'm taking a ride with my best friend
Some more catching up and hopefully I'll be back on track next week with the regular blogging.
First though I want to post a video of Martin Gore from Depeche Mode. He sang this song last Sunday at the concert and usually I'm not a fan of his songs (they're so sad and mushy) but he stole the show with this song.
I've kind of been watching this video obsessively. Depeche Mode should really consider releasing this as a single.
I wore this way back on August 22.
Dress: Lilikoi from Chartreuse Style (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Half Truths | Tanya (last worn here)
Black dress, black shoes, black cami underneath.
*smoldering stare*
This ends a long line of black, black, black.
August 28 - BOOM! COLOUR!
Jacket: Vintage. Gift from my coworker!
Dress: Meg (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Integrity | Amie in Neon Orange
I had to give a presentation at a workshop so I went for something peppy. I began my presentation with "ARE YOU READY TO WORKSHOP???????"
I'm not sure if they were ready for that.
Today I'm actually wearing a similar amount of colour.
Happy Friday everyone.

Gromit, these are the wrong trousers!
A few weeks ago I wore pants to work. Two days in a row. And one of those days, I wore JEANS! I really confused my coworkers.
On August 15, I wore these pants with my kitten heels.
T-shirt: No idea
Vest: Liliblue (last worn here)
Pants: Joe Fresh
Shoes: Fluevog Half Truths | Tanya
I realized after I got to work that the pants aren't white but very much off-white so the t-shirt didn't really match well, but I wanted to be able to show the lacy back of the vest. I think it's quite pretty.
Then the next day I wore JEANS! This was August 16.
Jacket: Vintage
T-shirt: Duran Duran Concert T from 1984 found on etsy
Jeans: Not sure the brand
Shoes: Fluevog Integrity | Amie in Neon Orange
I got a lot of complements on this jacket. Probably because it's the coolest jacket ever!
These jeans do nothing for my butt. In unrelated news, after work this day I took the subway to Yorkdale mall so I could go to the All Saints store where I bought some.... jeans! I also bought a dress which I finally wore yesterday. I should have it up on the blog shortly.
Duran Duran BABY!

Paris Boutique
Sweater-Mango/Jeans-Viking/Kitten Heels-Mr.Price/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Coat-Zara/Necklace-Tiffany and Co.
Sweaters and boyfriend jeans are one my favourite combinations to wear, they are so easy-going and simple...my favourite type of outfit! This sweater is on my go-to list to wear when I'm in a rush, the graphic print adds a fun quirkiness to the simple grey top, and it paired particularly well with my darker wash boyfriend jeans.
Have a lovely day everyone!!
