They build buildings so tall these days

Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in the hustle & bustle of everyday life. The past few days of non-stop work, & (shameful) neglect of proper sleep/nutrition have left me exhausted & a little out of it. Thankfully my work is wonderfully understanding & I was able to go home sick from work today. 


What ensued was some much-needed wholesome food (delicious delicacies from Gorilla Food raw vegan cafe), some fresh air on a beautiful day, & some well-appointed laughter from seeing the latest Muppets movie. We also quickly popped into the quaintest used bookstore I've ever seen, MacLeod's (on the corner of Richards & West Pender). The very definition of organized chaos, this place is my idea of heaven - books floor to ceiling; shelves upon shelves; random stacks higher than me, just threatening to topple at any given moment…. delightful! 

Now I'm home & happily preparing for bed before 9pm. Thank goodness for the littlest things that make you feel so much better. 

I was wearing:

Military-style jacket - Zara

Peach cropped sweater - Vintage

Navy velvet skirt - American Apparel (new)

Lace-up oxfords - F21

Earmuffs - Burberry

Bag - H&M

It feels so good to finally get a new post in, however fashion-less it may seem. I've got some lovely new things to show you over the next few days & am also looking forward to getting in several outfit photoshoots - stay tuned :)

Sunshine, leaves, etc.

Outfit post, as promised! This particular set of photos was shot on Sunday at a lovely little park area we came across, not far from home. The weather here in Vancouver has been absolutely gorgeous all week & it was so nice to go on a little photo adventure in the sunshine. 


So, a super quick blurb about the outfit... I'm loving tonal colour combinations this Autumn; hence the burgundy + red combination. Silver H&M pouch to add a little metallic glitter. Paired with my Dolce Vita wedges & lace socks.... et voila! Cute, comfy, love :) 


Will try to update lookbook in the morning - for now, good night & enjoy the pictures! <3
