Scarves and lightning bolts.

Aerie top; American Eagle scarf; Talula leggings (via Aritzia); Payless shoe; Castellammare earrings

Ohhh gooddddd I love scarves.
And the lightning bolts in my ears.
Reminding me of Harry Potter.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I may have just decided what I'm doing this weekend.
HP Marathon... Do I have enough stamina?

Back to blue classics.

Gap jeans; American Eagle chambray top; Call it Spring sandals

Not gunna lie, Gap's whole "Back to Blue" campaign is perfect timing for fall. Taking out my denim has me falling in love all over again. I've hit up Gap a couple of times recently for jeans and found two pairs that belong in my closet. When you find a great pair of denim, you can't let it get away.

So naturally, I am pairing my new jeans with classic chambray. I'm glad I can still pull this look off without it being tacky.
Maybe in 5 years, but not today.


Note: I was not compensated by Gap in any way to write this post. I just love their jeans and the campaign is super fitting  (har har har) for how I feel about them. 

Notebooks and diaries.

It belongs to me. My thoughts, my feelings, my words. 

Over the weekend I bought a dual-pack of notebooks. I figured one could be used for everyday things - little reminders, grocery lists, to-do lists, etc. The second, however, will become a diary of sorts. I have always loved the idea of the "line a day" diaries, where you write one sentence daily. I think this notebook will be a mix of that, thoughts, inspirations and things that make me feel.

Do you keep a notebook or diary of sorts?

Wandering outfit.

American Eagle chambray; H&M tank; Talula leggings (via Aritzia); Call it Spring sandals

Oh Sudbury, you have lots of rocks. And stuff. This is my "wandering outfit" that I made sure to wear when we wandered the city.
Appropriate, no?

Also, my friends like to photobomb. Sorry.

Booed by a bouncer.

Talula blazer & leggings (via Aritzia); H&M tank; Material girls wedges

I wore this outfit probably a month ago (shhh) with a couple of girlfriends. The best late-evening appetizers outfit. Not so great for dancing later. None of us were prepared to go out dancing. As we passed a bar on our way home, a bouncer called out to us to join the only two men in the bar on the dance floor. We turned the offer down, and then got booed. For serious. Booed by a bouncer.

I still blame the outfit. It wasn't meant for dancing.

My Long Weekend.

This weekend I went to Sudbury with a couple friends to visit our bff who's doing her Masters there. It was the perfect little trip to spiritually mark the end of summer. Although we have another ~20 days to go, September first always feels like fall to me. 

I did some shopping, of course.

I climbed a rock. There are lots of rocks in Sudbury...

I touched the Big Nickel! TOUCHED it!

We made a dinosaur friend.

Hope you had a wonderful long weekend doing whatever you were doing!

Do you feel fall in the air where you are?

Cat prints.

H&M top and belt; Payless shoes

Castellammare necklace, earrings; Fossil watch

Got back from my Sudbury vacation last night - pictures to come shortly!

I Instagrammed this outfit a few weeks ago. I loved the mixed leopard print in the flats and the top.
Then my kitty came around and I figured I could add a "third" cat-print to the outfit.. har har har.

But no, seriously, isn't she the cutest?
