Sequin Joggers

Pants: Marc Cain / Coat: TJ Maxx / Booties: Target / Hat: Zara / Bag: Old Navy

Nothing says holiday swagger like a pair of sequin joggers, amirite? These pants are a real special piece and I'm obsessed with them. During this time of year I lean towards cozy, comfortable clothing and this lets me have that while still feeling super glam. I've never been one to leave the house in jogging pants but these are definitely the exception!

BOF Street Style

Although the world of fashion can be such a broad and complicated thing, one of my favourite facets of this world has always been Street Style. Street Style, in its simplest form is exactly what the name suggests, style that is seen in the streets. For me, this fascination started a long time ago with the discovery of The Sartorialist, a blog so popular I needn't say another word about it. It is this genre of fashion, if you will, which I have always found the most interesting and inspiring and it's part of the reason why I became a fashion blogger. I often associate street style with looks that seem effortless and yet casual and chic at the same time but always, ALWAYS with that certain je ne sais quoi element that elevates the look to another level. I think it's that je ne sais quoi element that will always keep me going, chasing it till the very end.

Back to School

Jacket: Old Navy / Sweater and Hat: F21 / Skirt: H&M / Booties: Winners

Even though I haven't been a student for a few years, I still enjoy a little back to school fashion. Casual, cute and most importantly, comfortable. One of my favourite things about early fall is the opportunity to wear a cozy outfit with bare legs and booties. There is only a tiny window for this kind of look and I wasn't going to miss out. Before long, I'll be unpacking my nylon collection for another long winter together. But for now, let's enjoy fall fashion! Have a good weekend, Frockers!

The Jean Jacket

Jean Jacket: H&M / Skirt: Target / Hat: F21 / Scarf: Joe Fresh / Boots: Michael Kors

The time is here! I can finally start wearing my favourite spring item, the jean jacket! Even if I have to layer on my furry scarf and my wool hat, I'm going for it, frockers. I've also incorporated a little floral skirt to drive the point home, it's time for spring fashion and we ain't lookin' back!

Love is a Trench Coat

Coat: H&M / Scarf: Joe Fresh / Hat: F21 / Booties: Winners / Gloves: Ralph Lauren

Perhaps my favourite article of outerwear, this beige trench-style coat is a classic symbol of elegance. What I love about the trench coat is how it conveys both a powerful but also romantic feeling. Powerful because of the coat's military origins and romantic for its cinematic career (think Casablanca). It's definitely a must-have!

Cozy Corner

Fur Vest, top and hat: F21 / Pants: H&M / Bag: Cynthia Rowley / Shoes: Vintage

Just a crisp autumn saturday morning in the city hangin' out in my cozy faux fur vest. For me, autumn is about full coverage and keeping warm and the fur vest always adds the perfect amount of interest to an otherwise kind of boring outfit. I've also been getting some pretty good use out of my red Cynthia Rowley handbag as you may have noticed. Since much of my fall attire is quite dark, it offers the perfect punch of colour. Hope you enjoy, frockers!

Autumn Essentials

As autumn slowly starts to make itself comfortable, I want to show you some of my personal fall essentials. Firstly, I think an army green jacket is always a must in any closet...I feel like I say that a lot, but I believe a good wardrobe is built on a collection of great classic pieces. Anyway, throw this baby over almost anything and boom, an outfit. Then, of course, there's the hats. This little caramel tuque is one of many hats you'll be seeing in my fall fashion posts because recently, my love for hats has been competing with my relationship with footwear. Lastly, the little fall bootie. Again, you can just never have too many for fall. The brown ones you see above (affectionately named my Jane Eyre booties) are vintage and I'm in love with their classic shape. As you can see, they're a little beat up and I may have to part with them soon. Tear. 

Let me know what your fall essentials are, I'd love to hear all about them! 

Animal Influence

Don't you just love yourself a little leopard print sometimes? I know I do. Animal prints have been recurring in fashion since forever and are an essential in every woman's wardrobe. I have always appreciated animal-inspired fashion and fall is the perfect season for this trend to flourish. A shoe, a shirt, a handbag...you can find nearly everything in various animal prints and use this trend to add interest to your outfit. If you are having a difficult time with transitioning into fall fashion, remember you can always count on your old friend, the leopard print.
