October has had some highs and lows, but we are still keepin' on.
We traveled back and forth to see Marco's family, I shared my travel style & we hosted Thanksgiving at our place. I got some new peep-toe booties and wore a variation of this outfit every weekend.
We celebrated our friends wedding, helped pick apples in the in-laws garden and celebrated a friends birthday.
The saddest news of the month was putting down our family dog, Peanut, who would have been 16 this month. Despite the fact that she lived a long and wonderful life, it doesn't make it easier. We miss her so much.
I shared an outfit with my new OTK boots, we went to see Kevin Hart (man, we needed that laugh) and I started wearing socks #soundsweirdbuttrue
I saw my photos on the doors of Place d'Orleans (the first photos of the photoshoot I did back in August; vlog of the day here), checked out the granite slabs for my condo, did some shopping and celebrated Halloween as a mermaid.

Halloween has come & went but I wanted to share my costume. I went as a mermaid and created the costume myself. It was quite labour intensive as I'm definitely an amateur sewer, but it actually turned out #success
I wasn't really able to document how I went about sewing the skirt and creating the top, but wanted to share a few steps along with photos of the finished product as I know some you ladies were asking.
I love how the super trendy over-the-knee boot has become a wardrobe staple. Not only do they keep you warm and stylish, they pair effortlessly with jeans, leggings and flowy dresses. I equally love how we are seeing a shift towards a chunkier heel--hoorah for sturdiness--which is great if you experience winters with ice and snow, like myself.
Today I'm sharing some OTK boots that I would love to have in my closet. While I love a good deal, quality plays a big role for this kind of boot since there is so much of it. You want something that will look well made and stand the test of time (and cold weather elements!).
O U T F I T D E E T S : PONCHO | FREE PEOPLE SWEATER (SIMILAR, LESS EXPENSIVE OPTION) | CHIQLE DENIM (SIMILAR) | ALDO BOOTIES (SIMILAR, SIMILAR & JUST PICKED UP THESE) | FRINGE BAG | ALDO SUNGLASSES (SIMILAR) | LIPSTICK
Ponchos are huge this year and the time to wear them is now. I love the look paired over a sweater or snugger fitting, long-sleeved tee, however, it would look great over a leather jacket for some added warmth. With so many options out there right now, you can easily make this trend your own, no matter what your budget. Loving this stripe one & this poncho vest. I've linked a few options down below if you ladies are interested.
For the boots, I've been living in these since picking them up a few weeks ago. These are from last season, but new to me. I was coveting them hard last year but never pulled the trigger and they never went on sale. I finally scored them at 60% off the original price from the sale section, shocking they had my size--such a happy day!
If you're in the market for new boots, an ankle boot with a chunkier heel is the way to go for Fall (or over-the-knee; you can't really go wrong with either). The taupes and tans are super on trend, but black works too if that's more you. These have become an everyday boot for me so look for something that is comfortable to walk in that you can pair with denim, cotton skinnies & leggings.
