Hey guys, I hate that I keep apologizing for my absence! When you do certain things for the first time you under estimate how much time and energy it will take from you. Me and Lewis had our African Introduction two weeks ago, it was the best time of my life, I really don't know how the wedding will top it. To our parents were officially married, that feels so weird to say! Now I'm looking forward to the white wedding 100 times more!! What I loved the most was seeing all our family and friends in one room laughing and having such a blast.
I feel more at ease now and I promise I will be blogging a lot more often. I feel like I stopped blogging in summer and now were slowly transitioning to winter..sigh. I didn't get a chance to wear my favorite jumpsuit in summer, I thought it was to cold to wear it now, but add some knee high boots and voila!!
I have leaves on my top and leaves on the ground, Autumn is here! The weather is actually ok, even though the sky is grey and we have occasional rain, its still warm (let me not jinx it!)
I love this statement leaf top, I thought continuing with the black and white theme would make it pop. I bought these trousers at the start of the year, was so upset when it wouldn't zip up, but happy now as it fits perfectly, meaning I lost a few pounds, yeah me!
We typically think of Sea Green as being a color that we might wear only during the summer. I think that is exactly why I love this Seed-Stitch Turtleneck Sweater from TALBOTS so much. It keeps me warm during the cold fall and winter months and reminds me of the warm ocean waters that I have barely had the chance to experience. Find yours by clicking HERE.
I've been wearing headbands lately as I grow my hair out. Don't get me wrong. I have totally enjoyed having short hair. But you know me. I need to change it up once in a while. It's all part of the fun of fashion!
And last but certainly not least, I am wearing this Vintage Perfume Pendant from my online vintage jewelry boutique, The Canny Canary. Isn't it interesting? It holds a tiny cotton ball that you can saturate with your own signature fragrance. Great for people who don't necessarily love putting perfume on their skin, but they still like to smell pretty. There is only one of these vintage perfume pendants available at The Canny Canary! Be the first one to own it by clicking HERE.
I salute girls that execute vintage fashion. Without trying to put anyone down, I think its very hard to pull off and few girls can do it, probably the most well known blogger who does this well and effortlessly is Karlas Kloset. In saying that, I do love vintage pieces when I feel like I can fit it in with my own style.
I accidentally found a vintage store on ebay called One of My Kind Vintage, it blew me away, and for someone who's style is not vintage that's saying a lot. Above are a few of my fave pieces, I have bought two that aren't on this list already. The white short and crop top suit would of been mine only if summer wasn't over.
Hope you enjoy the store! I love sharing new finds with you guys. Happy Saturday x
Today was the coldest day of the fall season here in Maine. So what did my husband and I decide to do? Take a ride further north where it was even colder! Okay, so we don't really love the cold weather, but today was our 19th wedding anniversary and we wanted to celebrate by doing something out of the ordinary. So we took a drive into northern Maine. Millinocket to be exact.
I had heard of River Drivers Restaurant from a couple of friends, so I suggested to my husband that we check it out! Plus it gave me a chance to sport this very pretty and very affordable blanket scarf that I purchased from CHOiES. Find yours by clickingHERE.

I had the sniffles so I had the homemade vegetable soup and a grilled cheese sandwich made with roasted tomato & basil topped with sharp Gruyere cheddar and a tomato mayo spread. It was just what I needed.
The weather was a bit crazy today. First it looked like this.
Then it looked like this. That's snow falling in the distance by the way....
For my birthday my boyfriend's lovely Mum bought me a pair of gorgeous checked trousers from Anthropologie! Unfortunately they were a little too big though so on my actual birthday I popped into town to treat myself to a smaller size or an exchange and whilst there I couldn't help but fall in love with the store... Have you been in the changing rooms in Anthropologie!? Not only are they super spacious, but they aren't lit to make you look as though you haven't slept for a few days and the seating area for willing friends/boyfriends/parents is pretty alright too!
After trying on about 10 different items I decided on this high neck textured dress by Ganni - you can't see so well in these photographs but it's actually got a beautiful blue stitched through the design too, which is really pretty. I also love its slouchy, soft shape, casual pockets and interesting neckline, (this cut of sleeve is something pretty new for me as I don't often like showing my arms off). What I have struggled with though is finding a jacket to wear with it as none of mine do it the justice it deserves. I think it would look great with a long duster style jacket, (I've had my eye on some Asos styles), but what else could I try pairing it with?

This is what I wore to town on Thursday. Matt and I popped to the Photographer's gallery before heading to the Ports 1961 press day where we had two lovely models to showcase the collection for us! I loved the minimal designs and neutral palette - everything looked to clean and polished! The womenswear was so feminine and elegant but still had that boyish twist that I love and there was also something quite futuristic about their designs.
I was recently sent this cute denim dressby the Spanish brand Pepaloves. Over the past few years I feel like my style has moved on from the more girly, boutique look that I used to channel, I now much prefer a more simplistic, tomboyish silhouette. But sometimes I can't help but put on a really girly dress and feel "cute" again! I love the vivid blue colour and it's so comfortable because of the loose smock shape - here I rolled the sleeves up and wore it with my DMs and PU leather sleeve jacket, just to grunge it up a bit!
