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.
How has your week been? I'm looking forward to some social time this weekend. Tonight I'm having dinner with my out-of-town cousins and tomorrow we are celebrating a friend's birthday at El Furniture Warehouse, a new spot in town that is apparently awesome--and doesn't have a website.
Hope you have a good one!

O U T F I T D E E T S : DUSTER CARDIGAN | H&M BLACK DENIM FLARES (PETITE, SPLURGE) | SIRENS CAMI (SIMILAR) | IRO HEELS | H&M FRINGE BAG (SIMILAR) | SUNGLASSES | SECOND-HAND NECKLACE (SIMILAR)
I have the hardest time finding pants that are long enough for me so I squealed when these H&M flares fit my 5'11 frame. If you're tall, run to your nearest H&M and scoop them up immediately because they are (1) on trend and (2) only $30! I couldn't find them online but they are new in store. I also love the undone hem (which is helpful in the length department).
I'm feeling duster cardigans, and this one is perfect for Fall. I think they look so pretty and feminine with anything you pair it with. I would rock them with skinny jeans or even over shorts for an effortless look. When shopping, look for one that meets just below the knee to mid-calf for a flattering fit.
O U T F I T D E E T S : BLAZER | BCBG CAMI (LOVE THIS) | DISTRESSED FLARES | IRO HEELS | H&M FRINGE BAG (SIMILAR) | SUNGLASSES
When I first spotted these flares, it was love at first sight. The distressed wash, the button fly and the undone hem? I'm all in and my 16 year-old self is also thrilled. Additionally, I'm taking full advantage of the trend now before the snow flies and I'm back in my skinny jeans tucking them into boots.
When looking for the perfect flares, look for something with a high waist to nip you in and make your legs look super long--mine are a medium rise. For pairings, try a flowy top to go full on boho (this blouse is so pretty), a simple tee with a half tuck keeps it casual, or try pairing it with a faux leather blazer to toughen them up.
