Hi ladies--happy Monday.
We are finally back in town after being away for a week for Marco's Dad's passing. The weekend was very busy, but not very photo worthy and obviously lots of sad moments. We did, however, have a beautiful celebration of his life and so many friends and family came to support us and share their love and stories.
Thank you all for your messages, tweets, comments and more during this time. Your support is so appreciated.
We had several of our friends come down for the service, which was so wonderful. Seeing those faces was really special. We actually had an hour afterwards, for the first time in a week, to go and grab a drink with them before they headed back home too. We sat on a patio, on the water in Kingston, and it was a really nice, brief, distraction.
Hope you all had a great weekend, thank you again for the kind words and virtual hugs and I'll see you tomorrow with a new outfit post!
Cheers xo

O U T F I T D E E T S : DYNAMITE SWEATER (SIMILAR) | SCARF | ZARA DENIM (UNDER $50, UNDER $100, SPLURGE) | SNEAKERS | MAT & NAT BAG (SIMILAR) | JOE FRESH LUGGAGE TAG (SIMILAR, SPLURGE) | SUNGLASSES
When I'm traveling, comfort is key and while I want to look somewhat put together, sneakers are always a given.
These are my second pair of Pumas (the first pair I ruined during the trip to Italy back in April) and they are by far the comfiest tennis shoe I own. I seem to be turning to them--and sneakers in general--not just for travel, but on the weekends for running errands and casual get togethers with friends. As long as they are fresh (ie. clean), you can pretty much style them with anything and get away with it right now.
To up the chic-factor, I like to add an oversized scarf which pulls double duty as a blanket if it gets too cold, and works as a stylish third-piece to outfits during your trip. If you're going to go denim, tons of stretch is key, minimal jewelry and lose the socks to earn cool-girl points.
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!
