{Christmas Week} Playing Dress-Up

Dress- SheInside | leather jacket- Zara | heels c/o Forever 21 | clutch- Michael Kors | necklace- Zara | ring- Saint Laurent | bangles- J.Crew


I love a good conversation starter, so to kick off another theme week (yay, Christmas!), I thought it would be fun to feature this battle-scene dress as a holiday option.... because why wouldn't you sport violent scenes from antiquity on Christmas? My thoughts exactly. So should you find yourself at a holiday fete where you don't know anyone, a dress like this should help break the ice. And if that doesn't work, just ask people what their favourite herb is � it works every. single. time. xx

Winter is in full swing (happy December, by the way!), so to counteract its morale-bursting effects, I decided to wear all the pink I could stomach in one sitting... And believe me, my pink tolerance is low. But you know what? Turns out it's basically impossible to have a bad day or be sad (with a double 'd') when you're wearing this obnoxiously bright shade. Seriously now, winter neons � do it.

{Wardrobe Wednesday} Phillip Lim Clutch

{ My go-to, the 31 Minute pouch }

This week's WW is all about the neutral, go-to clutch, which for me has recently become the Phillip Lim 31 minute pouch (they actually call it a cosmetics case, but who would be crazy enough to spend 300 big ones on a makeup bag?!). Anyway, I decided to update my previous staple � this vintage YSL clutch that I scored for $4 at a thrift shop � because I wanted to reduce the amount of wear it was inevitably getting. I don't know about you guys, but I like to preserve my things for as long as humanly possible, which means being mindful not to 'overexert' anything... Makes sense, right? I'd like to think so, although I'm sure Mr. AiF would tell you that's just me enabling my shopping addiction. Potato, potato.

Thanks for reading, and happy Wardrobe Wednesday!

So for something completely different from yesterday's post, I bring to you � drumroll please � the back alley. That's right my friends, I like to spice things up like that. 'Wow, how original! What will she do next?!' you ask in disbelief? Stick with me kids and there could such exotic oddities as gravel in your near future. xx

Well here's a sight you probably never expected to see around these parts � faux leather sweat pants. In my defense, I was overcome by the sheer novelty (at least for me) and awesomeness that is these pants while hunting for holiday wear yesterday (but that's a story for another day). I sheepishly tried them on � half in disbelief over my selection, half in shame of my new-found admiration for shiny sweats � and scurried over to the checkout counter before I could change my mind. And you know what? Turns out I'm kind of in love with these ridiculous pants after all... Sorry, not sorry.

Happy Monday, friends! xx

Nothing says 'weekend wear' quite like slouchy sweaters and ankle boots, or as I like to refer to them, my new fall uniform. These suede Massimo Dutti booties in particular fit like a dream, and the very sight of them conjures up images of pumpkin fields and hot apple cider in my mind... Man am I ever ready for fall! And as far as this weekend goes, I'm thinking of getting hopped up on Pumpkin Spice Lattes and purging my closet like a mo-fo to make room for more booties and, well, slouchy sweaters... It's an evil, yet beautiful cycle.

Happy Friday, friends! xx

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
