Hi ladies, I know I've been MIA this week, and didn't get the Friday Finds up last week, but it's due to some terribly sad news. Marco's Dad passed away suddenly and we've been out of town all week. It was a total shock and we are completely devastated. He was taken from us far too young and our hearts are broken. While I did bring my computer with me, I couldn't bring myself to write anything, until now.
I wasn't sure how to bring it up here, but didn't want to not share it as I consider you my friends. I've been doing my best to stay in touch via social media, but blogging was something my heart just couldn't get into this week. That said, I thought today would be the best way to share the sad news, but also spread a tiny bit of happiness with some fun links around the web.
Thanks for your understanding & hope you have a great weekend.

Today I'm sharing a requested video I made for the kind of shoes to wear with flared pants. I'm beating a dead horse in telling you I'm loving this trend, but it's true! That said, finding the right thing to pair with them--especially after living in a skinny jeans world for so many years--can be a challenge.
I wanted to share a variety of shoes that can be worn with flares--making them extremely versatile and easy to style. Don't be intimidated, you can totally pull this trend off.
My number one tip...
Today I'm sharing my favourite Fall fashion trends! I'm so excited because this is easily my favourite season and since it goes so quickly, I will be trying to cash in on any opportunity to rock these trends.
I'm loving the side-slit top trend and already have a couple--they pair really nicely over skinny pants or shorts while it's still warm. Large, wool, floppy hats are becoming a staple in my closet (seen here with a more Summer outfit) and I'm loving the tan suede we are seeing pop up everywhere!
Plaid is something I'm warming up to and I had initially pulled mostly red plaid but after trying on the one in the video, it was a no brainer! It's a little different and reminds me of this Rails one, but at a much more affordable price point.
As always, thanks for watching!
O U T F I T D E E T S : WINNERS REVERSIBLE SHERPA VEST (SIMILAR, SIMILAR) | TOP | H&M FLARES (SIMILAR) | HEELS | H&M BAG (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS) | NECKLACE | AVIATOR SUNGLASSES
Fall is in the air and there is something about wearing layers and still being able to wear open-toed shoes (I love that). I scooped up this reversible vest a couple weeks ago in keeping with my new-found love for all things 70's. I love it with this look, but think it's going to pair great over a long-sleeved dress or even with a leather jacket. Adding that third piece adds interest and bonus, warmth!
I've rounded up a few wooly vests below and am loving the washed out black version--how chic would that be with a black turtle neck, black coated denim and some edgy ankle boots? Yas girl.
Happy Monday! I have to be honest, ladies, this weekend wasn't very eventful. It was pouring rain on both days and we basically spend the entire weekend in the condo. Sometimes weekends are just good for getting things done and relaxing...
On Friday night I met up with my cousins for dinner at Blue Cactus. They were visiting from out of town and it was great to see them. Afterwards, they went to check out the light show on Parliament Hill (which I was at the week before with a different out-of-town Aunt). I would highly recommend it to anyone in Ottawa or visiting--it plays every night at 9pm for the month of September and is free.
I had the ahi tuna caprese salad for dinner and it was really great.
