Khaki rose, khaki brun, khaki vert. Three beyond perfect shades for fall, arriving just in time for Fashion's Night Out on September 10.

Want it. Need it. Have to have them all.

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was good but super busy. I wrote my last exam of university on Saturday so I can now proudly say I have done something productive with my time and my life. Yay me! I did some shopping on Friday with my sisters (wait, shouldn't I have been studying?!) and this is what I wore. It was a gorgeous day and somehow I managed to spend way too much money. We thought it would be a good idea to take pictures on the top level of a parking garage overlooking uptown Waterloo. Its kind of a boring outfit but you're just going to have to settle for it haha. Ill try and do some more posts this week but I'm going to be crazy busy. I have 3 more days of work, 3 days to pack up (most of) my life and on Sunday I'm making the move from Waterloo to Toronto!!!

scotch & soda


I was in Vancouver a few months ago and was out shopping some sample sales with my aunt when we came across a brand neither of us had ever heard of. I immediately fell in love with the fall collection, which was full of blazers, silk tops, cozy knits, structured jackets and baggy t-shirts perfect for layering. The pieces were classic yet casual with a slightly vintage feel, perfect for running around town on a crisp fall day. The label was Maison Scotch which, we discovered, is a fashion brand from Amsterdam. The brands main line, Scotch & Soda, is sold all over the world. So how am I only hearing about this now, and why can I only get it at an obscure sample sale in Vancouver? I was depressed, until just recently, I read that Scotch & Soda would be opening a store in Toronto! The store is scheduled to open at the end of August, perfectly coinciding with my move to the big city. As if I needed another reason to shop.

I was visiting a friend in Toronto the other day and had my sister take a few pics of what I wore. We went and got dinner in her neighbourhood (little italy) which is full of cute italian restaurants and cool patios to eat pizza and sip sangria on. As you can see, I burnt my scalp sitting on said patio and yes, I know, I reeeeally need to get my hair done. I have an appointment next week ok? Leave me alone.

This pizza is supposed to feed one person but it was so big, I ended up taking home more than half of it.

What are everyone's plans for this weekend?!

I've fallen in love with Australian shoemaker Senso. I am currently trying to choose between these 3 boots, all of which would be perfect for fall. So far, I'm leaning towards all three.

Somebody stop me!

It's about time. I've been MIA for the better part of this summer and have sadly neglected the blog for almost 2 months!! I feel like I've been so busy with work, summer courses and of course, a little vacay, that I haven't even had time to think about updating. But the time has come to make a change and I thought why not start with an outfit post. I enlisted the help of my amazing sister to snap some pics of me near our house. I also haven't had a lot of time to shop this summer and am not feeling anything that I have in my closet so you're just gonna have to work with me here.
