Casual Grace

I dislike the chillier temperatures, but I love the colors of the changing leaves! One of my favorite past times as a child was raking leaves in the front yard with my younger brother. And then after we'd created a pile of crunchy leaves (yes we jumped in it like any child would), we'd throw it all into a giant orange pumpkin garbage bag to decorate our lawn with for Halloween. Who said that composting couldn't be fun?

Now that we've gotten older, I haven't had the chance to do that in probably over 10 years. And the fact that I'm now in a city 5 hours away from my family makes me miss my childhood that much more. In the meantime I'll enjoy fall vicariously through my memories in hopes of recreating them again one day.

Buckled Beauty

I've been dying for a pair of leather joggers now (not necessarily one with a cuff on the bottom), so when I came across this pair at H&M for a steal I just had to pick them up! At the moment, I seem to be stuck in a very monochrome rut. Everything that I wear is either black or white. I don't know if it's because of the on coming fall season or just because I've begun to shun away colors as I've gotten older.

Regardles of the fact, I was recently gifted some beautiful jewelry from the lovely ladies over at My Femme Crush and knew that this bracelet would match perfectly with this outfit! If you know me, then you'll know that I'm a huge fan of watches but not so much else in regards to jewelry for the wrist. However, once I saw this studded cuff I knew that it was a match made in heaven!

September LustListt

With Fall just around the corner, my tendency in September is to pull for lots of leathers and jewel tones. Evidently with the grand opening of Target across Ottawa tomorrow morning, featured on my LustListt this month is the 3.1 Phillip Lim Satchel. Much like the shape of his coveted Mini Pashli Satchel that retails for $650 CAD, this retails for $34.99. At such a steal, I can't help but NEED this in my closet. It's about time I expand my purse collection beyond the neutrals anyways. I had the chance today to see in person up close the quality of the entire 3.1 Phillip Lim collection and the price points are literally on point. Although the purse is not constructed of leather, the polyurethane is thick and buttery soft. The warm mustard tone personifies the colors of fallen leaves which further pulls that Fall feeling into my wardrobe. Now to set my alarm clock for 5 AM in order to wake up on time for the Blogger Breakfast and line-up for my satchel!
