denim skirt & OTK boots

This is now the third time I've styled this One Teaspoon Junkyard skirt this month alone (last seen with sneakers and a tee here and with a boho blouse and lace-up sandals here).  I'm hoping they make this skirt in black because it has become my go-to piece for fall.  It's a nice break from cutoffs.  Actually, I wore it for a fourth time yesterday to the beach (with a Spell blouse and Isabel Marant booties - post to come!), but now that one's in the wash so I need a back-up.  It cooled down quite a bit before we left for Canada and I was able to pair this skirt with my favourite Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots (one investment I will never regret).  Add a cozy grey sweater and it's the perfect outfit for fall.  I have a feeling this outfit will be on repeat.

I immediately fell in love with the colour of this Free People tunic (and clearly so did everyone else because it was sold out by the time I received it in the mail.  Size small currently back in stock!).  It comes in navy now (tip: navy looks great on brunettes!)  Because it's still warm here, I paired this blush paisley printed tunic with pink Jeffrey Campbell booties, but I'm excited to wear it with my Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots once it starts to cool down.  I added a grey hat because I love pairing pink with grey, it's probably one of my favourite colour combos for fall. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

shopbop event of the season

Shopbop is having their awesome sale where everything is at least 25% off (if you spend over $500 you get 30% off).  I spent all morning today carefully deciding on which items to purchase.  (I received the sneak peak email the day before the sale started but it was during our 15 hour drive back to Myrtle Beach and my phone is garbage, literally shuts off when it shows I still have 50% battery left.  I should probably be buying a new phone instead of shopping the sale, but these are the tough choices you have to make in life.  The next day our internet was still out from the hurricane so I couldn't shop the sale until today.)  Sadly, most of the items I've been eyeing (my 'hearts') were already sold out so I had to start from scratch.  A sale where you can literally choose anything can be overwhelming so I made a list.  Hopefully this list (and an edit of my picks, above) will help you.

• a new pair of (cropped) jeans
• a bomber jacket
• something velvet
• mules/loafers
• booties
• (white) sneakers
• transitional tops, including something with a cold shoulder or off-the-shoulder
• a bag in a fall colour (anything other than black)

Happy shopping!

Another day at the beach before the hurricane, in the evening this time, I wore this One Teaspoon Junkyard Skirt - again (last seen paired with sneakers and a tee here).  This time I dressed it up a little with this Tularosa Huxley Top (last seen here with black cutoffs) and lace-up sandals.  I was never much of a denim skirt kind of girl (I own a few denim skirts and hardly wear them - again, the whole thighs rubbing when it's super hot thing is probably a factor).  But it's safe to say this One Teaspoon Junkyard Skirt was a great investment.  Maybe because it's somewhat cooling down in the South (i.e., not in the 80s).  Or maybe because it's a killer denim skirt.  I even wore it a third time before we left (so that makes 3x in one week).  It cooled down even more in Myrtle Beach just before we left and I paired this denim skirt with a sweater and over-the-knee boots (post to come!).

 
Not only are beach days the best days, but beach nights are pretty freakin' great too.

As much as I thought I would enjoy wearing cozy sweaters and jeans, I was over it pretty quickly.  We're still in Canada since we have no power in Myrtle Beach (so grateful that's the most of our worries), but I sure am missing the sunshine and warm weather already.  We were just at the beach a week or so ago.  (And saw a double rainbow!)  I wore this Jen's Pirate Booty top again.  It's seriously THE best top to wear to the beach.  It's sheer so it keeps you cool in the sunshine, but the long sleeves keep you warm when there's a breeze, which there was plenty of that day.

Thinking of everyone affected by the hurricane.

#OOTD / cozy weekend getaway

Currently cozy in Canada avoiding the hurricane in Myrtle Beach.  Nothing better to cozy up in than a (For Love & Lemons) knit sweater, (Free People) knitted leggings, a comfy lace bralette and slouch socks.  And drinking tea.  Lots of tea.

Thinking of everyone in South Carolina and everyone else affected by the hurricane.

A rainy day outfit.  I bought this One Teaspoon Junkyard Skirt early last week and have already worn it twice.  (It's already almost sold out at Revolve, but Nasty Gal has every size in stock!)  It's perfect for someone petite like me.  And I love it for the same reason I love my One Teaspoon Bandits - your booty is covered!

(Tip: size up!)
