Perennial. That’s my closet. There are some items that stay in rotation all year round. Shirt dresses, on their own in Spring and Summer, layered over a turtleneck or under a sweater in Fall and Winter. Saying goodbye to summer is tough. Unless you get to keep your warm-weather friends close. Right against the skin.
Easy dressing for a sunny Sunday. Light denim, white tank and sleeveless blazer. Tough boot, pink lips and some hardware. Done and done.
Tonight we are heading to a show at C’est What, to see Rosie and the Riveters. I’m planning to put into action all the things I keep seeing when I open my browser or a magazine: hats, lace up boots, lace apparel for fall, distinctly lined eyes, … and ponchos. A little bit mod, a little bit Mountie.
Can she do it?! Here come the inspiration pics:
Stay tuned for an update on whether the mission was successful. * Obviously, this is tongue in cheek, because we all know – I dress for myself.
Who doesn’t like options?
Black boots are my best friend. Forget diamonds. I have a few standby pairs.
Black lace up Frye combat boots are on deck. Black buckled stack heel Frye Veronica’s are in rotation. I have a knee high black Frye riding boot, at the ready. Sensing a trend?
I turned thirty and realized I was too old to buy disposable, cheaply made, crappy footwear. They made my feet hurt. They fell apart in no time.
So, the magazines say combat boots for fall. I’m in. No questions asked. The real question is, in a fashion landscape where anything goes (climate depending) what do you want to put on your feet?
Lately I’ve been loving Revolve’s selection of footwear. But Frye, for comfort and durability, gets my brand loyalty every time.
I present Frye’s fall lineup. Not for the Carrie Bradshaw in you. But definitely with a big price tag. Pun intended.
What is your go-to pick?
Outfit of the Day: Dark denim, a forest friend sweatshirt (mine has a closeup headshot of a red fox), leather baseball hat, platform shootie, antler necklace and earrings from WFD White Feather Designs and a ‘don’t give a damn’ look on my face. Happy Friday!

I have a great vintage dress, straight out of Granny’s wardrobe. In fact, it’s hand made by her with pleats down the front and a tie neck. Smocked sleeves and a belted waist. Buttons up the back and a coral and blue flower print on black.
Never fails- it’s a dress that gets noticed. Paired with modern accessories it totally works.
A classic bold poppy print
Rifle paper makes beautiful stationary. Turns out they also make lovely patterned garment collaborations. The proof is in the petals.
Real-way; this look is a total stunner with sunnies and stack heels.
This is the dress I came home with on an accidental spree.
I have 12 years worth of journals from Rifle Paper, which we used as guest books for the wedding. Guests left us sweet notes, and each table had a book that will correspond to our upcoming anniversaries. We will read their messages as the years unfold.
So, naturally, I was tickled when I found the same print from our wedding books in wearable form!
Love notes: Dear Rifle Paper. Thanks for the memories. xo A
It’s paper doll time. With skirts and crop tops. I love this look. With a few pieces of statement jewellery. High waisted, pattern clashing… all my favourite details.
Today, again… a summer dress, with a big woolly cardigan sweater, platform black boots from Topshop, a belt, a sweater printed woven purse. Warm and cozy. With my new Maybelline Lip Blur (just one of the MANY awesome products I got by redeeming $170 worth of Shoppers Optimum points. Seriously… free products when you use their loyalty card). Kiss kiss!
