{Style} Leopard Coat Love

Faux leopard coat- Zara (similar)  | sweatshirt- Helmut Helmut Lang | leather leggings- Wilfred (similar on sale) | booties- ShoeMint | bag- Rebecca Minkoff | beanie- Zara | necklace c/o T&J Designs | bracelets- J.Crew | rings- Ardene | watch- Michael Kors




I picked up this coat from Zara on Saturday, and since then, I've worn it every single day � now I don't want to jinx anything here, but I think this may be love. Not the kind of love that wavers over time or lessens when people try to knock it down (like, say, when one of your BFFs refers to your new love as a bath robe � chump). 'Oh no, it is an ever fixed mark whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken'... Man, that Shakespeare new a thing or two about girls and their coats, let me tell you.

Happy Monday, friends � here's to a fab week! xx

{Style} Denim on Denim...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great please that I present to you my very first denim on denim experience... Thank you, thank you. Now I know this is nothing new to many of you � and probably a source of contention to many more of you � but I am now officially on board the Canadian tuxedo express. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm feeling this look and in a big way. I guess you can take the Canadian girl out of her mixed denims, but you can't take said denims out of the Canadian girl... Or something like that. xx

{Christmas Week} Spots & Dots...

Leopard print might not exactly come to mind when one considers holiday prints (with plaid, argyle, heck, even polka dots seeming more appropriate), but for whatever reason, I'm loving it for Christmas Week. Paired with oxblood and some faux fur � not to mention a festive church backdrop � I'm holiday-ready... Four more sleeps!

{Style} Dressing Up With Lulus.com...

Sometimes a girl just needs a little sparkle, especially where dresses are concerned. Luckily for me, Lulus.com had just the thing to get me in the mood for some holiday cheer (never too early), as well as date night with my mister... Win-win.

I instantly fell in love with its sparkly, deco-ish print and fit, and can't wait to Christmas-party-it-up in this bad boy... Or at least gorge myself on cookies and eggnog while it hangs nearby, reminding me that despite my temporary bout of gluttony, I am, in fact, still a lady... Most of the time.

{Style} Snow Way...

Well, it's official: winter's here and in a big way... I know, I know, totally gross. But regardless of old man winter's cruel tricks, I plan on sticking it to the elements with cute layers and cozy accessories. Do your worst, snow.

Happy Monday, friends! Wherever you are, I hope it's nicer than here... xx

Writer's Block...

When Jenna and I stumbled across this awesome graffiti wall during WCFW last week, we instantly knew it would make the perfect backdrop for photos. You know me and graffiti, and luckily my homegirl felt the same... Can you say photo op?

And in other news, I had a couple deadlines that week that I was seriously stressing over, and I think the wall sensed it �check out the "writer's block"graff in the first photo! Too funny...

Happy Weekending, my sweets! xx

Mass-ive Attack...

Writing the outfit details for this post made me realize that I should probably diversify my shopping spots a bit... Can you say predictable? If my ensembles don't hail from the "holy trinity"of shopping � aka mass retail giants H&M, Forever 21 or Zara � you can bet they come from my employer, Mr. Michael Kors... Not exactly original. Have I stumbled into some kind of sartorial rut? Probably... But at least acceptance is the first step to recovery, right?

Back to Basics...

Hello, and welcome to my new blog! Or, as I like to call it, blog 2.0... Both Mr. AIF and Kastles have been encouraging me lately to put some time into a redesign, and after several hours on dafont.com (Kassie is a patient woman!) and a morning feverishly spent on Photoshop, I present to you the new, and hopefully improved, Adventures in Fashion! I hope you like it! xx

Faux Sure...

No joke: I've been wearing this vest non-stop since I bought it last week... Seriously. It doesn't matter if I'm wearing a dress, pants or even pyjamas, this vest is in constant rotation. What can I say, the heart wants what it wants... And in this case, it's a wookie vest.

What I Wore:

Mr. AIF had to go to Toronto this past weekend, so I was left alone to my own devices... In other words, sweet treats, non-stop Golden Girls reruns and a much-needed nail painting sesh� What can I say, I lead a glamorous life.

Happy Monday, lovelies! xx
