We're having a gorgeous fall this year, and I was actually able to wear shorts over the weekend. I paired them with my silk draped blouse, going with my nude and olive fall colour scheme again. My feet are always the first to feel the cold, so some peep-toe booties were required, 20 degrees or not.

Blushing Nude

This fall I've been loving blushing nudes and greys mixed with khaki and burgundy accents. Needless to say, I've been trying to stalk up on my new favourite colour scheme during the sales this season. This shirt from Amanda Uprichard caught my eye and being the sucker for silk that I am, went immediately into my shopping card on Revolve Clothing. 

When it comes to colours and seasons, I love muted pastels and nudes during the fall and winter, and start to wear brighter colours as it warms up. There's something so soft and feminine about nudes that I can't help but gravitate towards them when the weather starts to get harsh.

Remember how I was saying I wanted a bright orange lipstick here? I finally found the perfect shade from Innisfree. Thanks for all your suggestions!

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and with that comes pumpkin pie and the beginning of snow. So let's wear dresses shall we? They make it easy to eat those large family meals (and I for one definitely have a weakness for all things sweet) without needing to unbutton anything, and are my favourite way to look polished without really needing to put in any time. Slip it on, and voila, you look great! The baroque pattern on this Asos dress makes it one of my favourites to wear for autumn, as for the last few years baroque and embellished pieces were having their time on the fall/winter runways.

Speaking about runways, I had the chance to volunteer at the Parkluxe fashion show in Calgary. It was quite the experience! I never knew just how much work went in to prepping for the show itself. We were still doing construction a few hours before people started to arrive! While volunteering was fun, I think I'll opt for a media badge next time so that I can bring my camera along and take photos at the front of the runway. I did manage to snap a few on my phone on the sides, so check out my instagram if you want to see some really talented Canadian designers!

The weather is slowly cooling down while the trees turn from green to yellow and orange and red, and with that, I'm changing my wardrobe. This weekend I've been playing a lot with textures, and this felt hat from Anthropologie has been the star of my outfits. Seriously, I wore it to the Parkluxe fashion show in Calgary and so many photographers wanted my photo because of the hat. There's something to say about accessorizing well – it can certainly change the feel of the outfit! I think a felt hat really adds a bit of bohemian cool vibes to any outfit, and it's my favourite accessory for the fall. I'm currently looking for a nice burgundy or oxblood one.
