Yesterday was filled with adventure, as Mr. AiF and I headed out of town for a little picnic and a lot of exploring... There were finger foods, lush greenery (pictured above) and weird, X-Files-inspired architecture (definitely not pictured above). Hey, gotta keep things interesting, am I right?

But enough about me, how was your Labour Day? Fill me in, lovelies! xx

{Style} High Gloss Black...

Happy weekending, everyone! Whatever you end up doing, I hope it involves lots of sweet treats, downtime and cuddles! xx

{Style} The Statement Sweater...

I feel like a total traitor in saying this, but I internally fist pump whenever temperatures drop and the days get a little crisp around here... Wtf is wrong with me, you ask? Well I'm sorry, but if loving layering as much as I do is wrong, then I don't want to be right. Besides, it's been months since I've worn a sweater let alone popped a collar underneath one, so I figured I was long overdue for a Kenzo moment... Next up is tights, but if I say that aloud Kastles might just beat me with a stick.

Happy Friday, friends! Hope you guys have a nice, layer-filled weekend! xx

{Style} Back to Life...

Well, it's official; I survived camping in the bear-ridden back-country (nice initiation, huh?) with only two near car accidents, a minor tent fire (I'm not joking) and half a dozen bug bites... Let's just say it's been quite a weekend. Good thing I don't have to work today, because I really need the extra day to sort out my life (and my back).

But enough about me, how was everybody's weekend?! Fill me in! xx

{Style} Lucky Stripe...

If I didn't know any better, I would say we're having an unofficial stripe theme week here on AiF... And by week I of course mean a three day stint, but still. All stripes, all the time. Stay tuned to see which print I abuse next week � Watch out polka dots, this could mean you.

Happy Friday, friends! Let's make every moment count... xx

{Details} Back to Basics...

Summer is all about breezy separates, simple yet impactful accessories and � on particularly humid days � the absence of bangs. Although not always a fan of the latter (so exposed!), I'm totally down with the rest. I mean really, loose tops that don't stick to you when temperatures spike? Sign me up! Oversized sunnies that could transform any hot mess (pun intended) into a total chic machine? Yus please! Studded flats that could be walked in for days? Obvi! Throw in a frozen treat or two, and I should be good for the next few months... Menchies anyone?

{Style} Boardwalk Empire...

Never one to turn down a photo op, I was pretty pumped when my friend Jerry (yes, the dude in the bacon suit) offered to go on a photo adventure this week... What a guy! Turns out he's a bit of a wizard behind the lens, especially considering the fact that he generally photographs houses and not picky fashion bloggers � And take it from me, anyone who puts up with requests for "vertical lower body detail shots" and "horizontal full body landscapes" without complaint deserves a medal. Or, you know, at least a macaron or two.

Happy Friday friends! xx

Wardrobe Wednesday...

I can't get enough of these sunnies lately... I don't know if it's the colours, styles or what, but I'm all about them, all the time. It's come to the point where I just want to buy more and more varieties, until my bag is brimming with eyewear options for every mood and occasion... Take these Forever 21 sunnies (above) that I bought last week for example � the colour is phenom, and I love the rounded, vintage shape. Plus they were super cheap  ($6.80!), which is always fine by me. Similarly, I have mad love for my H&M Against AIDS Zach Morris-inspired shades (can you blame me?!) as well as my trusty Karen Walkers, so I'll spare you the additional sunglass-related gushing and just quit while I'm ahead...

Happy Wednesday, love bugs! xx

 

Wardrobe Wednesday...

One thing I've always lusted over is Karen Walker's "Number One" sunnies... They're just so chic and sophisticated, and the design is a much-needed departure from my overdone wayfarers. Long story short, I finally decided to treat myself to a pair a few weeks ago, and the two of us (the glasses and me) couldn't be happier... What can I say, it must have been kismet.

What's on your lust list? xx
