There is something oh so Canadiana about plaid, and this season, love it or hate it, it’s everywhere.  Don’t fret my pets, this season’s plaid is not just your traditional flannel variety, instead it’s being presented in silks, lightweight cottons and wools.  Dress it up or down, I guarantee it will be something you reach for all season long.

West Coast Weekend 5

Equipment Blouse, Shorts (similar here), Maje Leather Jacket, Saint Laurent Sandals, Saint Laurent Clutch, Hermes Watch, David Yurman Bracelet, Tiffany Necklace

I spent this past weekend in the beautiful city of Seattle, and developed a healthy dose of homesickness for the west coast while there.  While I don’t miss the frizzy hair, worrying about ruining my suede flats in the rain, or the damp cold that finds it’s way deep into your bones, there is so much I do miss.  Like the smell of the ocean, the urban lifestyle I lived, and most of all, the fabulous friends I made while there.  I guess this means I’ll just have to amp up my visits for ‘blog research’ this fall.

I received my first taste of true fall-like weather in YYC yesterday, and it would be an understatement to say that I was beyond thrilled.  The air is crisp enough to demand an outer layer, yet not too harsh as to fret about parkas, toques or mittens.  It’s easy to see why this is my favorite season, both fashion and weather wise.  There’s so much to look forward to this time of year, with Christmas Canadian Thanksgiving just around the corner and Christmas Halloween following soon after that, it’s an entertainer’s dream.

There are various items in my closet that have a certain longevity that other pieces just can’t compete with.  My muted leopard print shirt dress would be the poster child for such a case.  I’ve had it for years now, but the classic style, print and fit allow me to reach for it time and time again.  Classic doesn’t have to mean boring, unless we’re talking literature it’s really just good sense.

Slouchy Trousers 5

I’m not normally someone who is drawn to pants that add volume to my lower half, so I had serious doubts about this whole slouchy trouser business.  The comfort of these pants alone is enough to keep me in them all fall long, and though they may have more fabric than my skinny jeans, they’re just as flattering, sans muffin tops (I’m talking elastic waist here ladies).  What more could a girl ask for.
