Blue Jean Baby...

It's slowly starting to warm up here in Western Canada, and all I want to do is wear dresses! However...it's not quite that warm enough so, I had to do a little wardrobe compromise and I really like how this outfit turned out. I took a simple jean dress and toughened (and warmed) it up with my flat, thigh-high boots and my moto jacket. I love my little red, quilted purse for a pop of colour, so it was an obvious choice for this outfit.

Trend to Try: Culottes

I was pretty stoked to find these fun, affordable culottes at Forever21 recently. I had found myself pinning lots of looks with them, but I wasn't quite ready to try the trend until I found these, and at $30 I couldn't say no to this fun update to my spring wardrobe. On this day, I dressed them up for a dinner out with a few classic pieces: a silky, button-up white blouse and leather moto jacket (two items I believe should be in every women's closet...just sayin'). I added some heels and an animal print clutch - ta da! I think I am going to have a lot of fun with these pants; for my next outfit I am picturing something a little more casual, maybe flatforms and crop tops? sneakers and a white T? I love the versatility!

I could walk 500 miles..

I love this post! I am so into this cool sneaker trend for so many reasons! First, it totally lets me play with my love of mixing things up: casual sneakers with classic coats or sleek faux leather pants or minis - love it! Secondly, it is always awesome when something looks great and FEELS comfortable to wear. Although I love my heels, I will be the first to confess...they don't always last so long on my feet. But these cool kicks...I could walk shop for miles in 'em! Typical me, I couldn't choose between these two pairs, so I had to get both. They're such a versatile, fun addition to my wardrobe and I am so excited about all the outfits I can add them to, but for now here are two looks I've created so far - hope you like 'em!

Sporty Fun

After all the fall talk on the blog, we've been having some very lovely, warm September days here! I threw together this fun, sporty look for a casual lunch date with my husband. I love when you can feel cute AND comfortable! :)

LLFS's Top 12 Picks for Fall

1//Chelsea Boots: comfy and stylish, what's not to love?! 2//Black distressed denim: wear with everything. 3//Blanket coats: layered on and topped with a belt. 4//Black moto jacket: so versatile, dress it up or down. 5//Faux leather tote: my go-to fall bag, chic and easy. 6//Long cardi: can't wait to rock this with boyfriend jeans or layer over a dress!(bonus in-expensive one) 7//Cozy grey sweater: perfect for layering! 8//Wool hat: can't get enough hats for fall, go floppy or western inspired, whatever...just get yourself a hat. 9//Scarfs: go oversized for a super layered/cozy effect or try something new by tucking it under a belt or sweater a la J. Crew. 10//Shearling: I'm adding shearling to my wardrobe with a lined denim jacket, but it also looks great on a faux leather vest or jacket. 11// 'Fancy' sweatpant; OK,
bear with me here...I have seen so many pictures of ladies rocking these chic versions of a sweatpant, with heels and button up blouses - love it! 12//Faux leather: anything! For real. A pleated midi, a pencil skirt, skinnies, shorts...I could go on and on. I love mixing this sleek texture with the cozy knits of fall.




That was a really fun post to make, creating it has made me even more excited for all the looks I can create this fall with all these great pieces. Did you guys like it? See anything up there you love? Thanks for reading!

Bye Bye Booties

I can't believe it's September already! Fall is upon us, and if my Pinterest board is any indication...I am very excited to start wearing cozy layers. That being said, a part of me is sad to see the summer go...because these booties did not get out enough! Haha. I took advantage of one of our last days of warm weather to rock them with distressed boyfriend jean shorts and a white blouse and blazer. One of my major fashion loves is pairing seemingly contrasting styles to create a put together outfit. I loved the distressed, relaxed style of the shorts in contrast with the more formal style of a button up blouse and blazer. The white on white palette is also something I've been digging lately. I don't think I'll be able to give up the booties quite yet (they're just too good), so I am going try and transition them into my fall wardrobe. Speaking of fall wardrobe...I am working on an exciting new post, something a little different than my usual posts - stay tuned!
