Autumn's Transition

As I write, I continue to glance out of my living room window, and the little white specks that are falling from the sky. Yes. It's snowing. Halloween hasn't even arrived yet, and we've had two hail storms and two snow falls this week. It makes looking at these photos all the more bittersweet, my favourite season doesn't seem to want to stay very long. Luckily, anytime before January is a magical time for snow (although Forest won't be able to do much with it until next winter) . So now I guess we will be taking advantage of cooler days rather than cold and get ready to hibernate this winter, haha.

Checks & Specs

 

 

This will be a quick post, as I have alot of catching up to do! I've been pretty busy and loving it...to the point where if I find I have free time, I decide to take up a new project or adventure. Also, I've been shamelessly wearing this skirt too much....

Hope your October is as great as mine so far ^.^

Heather Gray

I am overly fond of this Maxi-dress by Heather which I recieved from Shopbop . Today is the first day of autumn and this dress is true to the season; I feel as though I can rule a witch coven in this dress...the way it flows both with the wind and the lines of the body, makes it a very flowy yet powerful dress. I'm completely in love with the level of comfort and sheer elegance to this dress.  It looks heavy but is n fact very light and will be lovely to layer. It was warm today, however, I've pulled more items from Shopbop that I believe would add perfect autumn elements to this dress:

                

 

The items showcased above are: this Tony Burch Clutch , 6 Shore Road Faux Fur Vest (This dress was made for a faux fur vest!), Noir Jewlery arrow necklace , see by Cloe Boots.

I love how versatile the brands that Shopbop carry are! You can create virutally any look imaginable and for a fair price as an added bonus. So if you're like me, a recent graduate with yet to secure my dream job and on a strict budget...then I like to share items which are attainable to either save for or treat yourself with! It's all about smart shopping and knowing where and how to look. Hopefully you guys consider this blog helpful in that department! Anyway, Hope your week is going lovely. Happy first day of autumn, go get some fresh air (then finish off the day with some online shopping perhaps?)

Lace in Autumn

I am over-the-moon excited to share a beautiful shop I've only recently discovered (most of you have probably already heard of it) called: SHOPBOP . Shopbop is essentially a shop dedicated to aquiring the most beautiful and current designer pieces to showcase and sell in thier shop. They carry one of my favorite brands, as I've metioned before, FREE PEOPLE . Which is where this timeless dress comes from by the way! It was one thing to fall in love with it when I saw it online, but it was a whole other thing to see it in person too. The material is so soft and comfortable, the ruffles and lace so vintage and romantic... and the free people socks I've paired it with are just as soft and lovely! I'm also wearing a UO hat and vintage purse, however, with fall approaching, I think this dress and socks along with some dainty tights, some tassled jeffrey campbell loafers, this casual coat and handsome hat .

I suppose that's what makes fall fashion so fun, the layering! It gives so much more options with our outfits! Not to mention they add to the feeling of being "cozy" wherever you go. This dress is really great for transitioning into fall, although it is a thin lace (a slip or bralet is required underneath), it is long sleeved, soft, and so fun and easy to layer! I look forward to seeing all the different ways I can wear it this season ^.^

Autumn Chills

 Sweater weather has arrived, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Exploring new places with the cool autumn wind and a coffee in hand is perfection. As some of you have probably noticed...I'm prone to jewlery as of late. Hoever, most of the jewlery I'm wearing has been thrifted or passed down, except for my gorgeous watch from DanielWellington (by the way, shop there anywhere from now until september 30th you can get 15% off using the Code: curios-doll  at the checkout). I honestly don't even take it off, it gows with everything and ads an extra charm to my outfits . You'll have noticed that even when I'm wandering through fields and forests, I'm still in a dress or skirt. For me, it is more comfortable. I loathe wearing pants, so even on expeditions, I stick to my typical feminine style, which doesn't slow me down or inconvinience me in the least. Looks can be so decieving that way...a dress gives the illusion I tried really hard to look nice that morning, when in reality I like them because it's one piece of clothing, and nothing sticks to your legs (except tights which are like a second skin to me). For this advanture I paired two of my favorite fall items from last year. The colors reflect the coming season well, and the knits kept me warm through my adventures.
