Changing leaves

I think it's safe to say fall is here to stay...almost as if over night it seems, many of the trees (at least in my neghborhood) have begun to change color and I am seeing some of the most brillirant reds, oranges and yellows I've ever seen. Ottawa has a collection of very beautiful trees, I have many favorites scattered throughout the city, and I'm sure I will mentally collect more over the years. I've been spending a sufficient (finally) amount of time outdoors, in my favorite weather, and my favorite jeans from free people which is yet another lovely treasure from a new most beloved shop of mine: SHOPBOP. These pants fit like a dream, and I am not overstating this. I have scarecely taken them off since thier arrival. I have also recieved this Splendid T-shirt and this Wood Kimono which I am incredibly fond of. Its quite alot thicker than it looks and will surely keep me warm as the weather steadidly continues to descend.

  Jeans, shirt & Jacket: Shopbop // 

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 ^.^
