Closet Full of Thrills

Hello dear readers! I thought I would share a few of the items that left the mall with me yesterday. Normally when I travel, I try to shop in stores that aren't available in my city, but there was a "buy one, get one 50% off" sale at Suzy Shier that I just couldn't pass up!

My recent tweed purchase, which I wore in the previous post, turned out to be such a great buy, so I grabbed another! I'm really loving this dark green color that seems to be everywhere this season.

Houndstooth is another trend that has been popping up everywhere. This pattern has been a classic trend over and over again, but to be honest, it never really appealed to me until now. I'm looking forward to mixing it into my wardrobe.

I also made sure to stop in at the Bulk Barn to stock up on some of my favorite candy. I sure did spend 16$ on candy! Please don't judge me. Ha!

My time in Oakville has come to an end. I'm extremely sad to be leaving but my trip doesn't stop here. I'm bringing Mum over to my aunt's in London Ontario for the rest of the week, while I visit with Brandon in Michigan. We have a bunch of super fun activities planned, including more SHOPPING!!

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm still visiting with family in Oakville and having a super great time. Today is a day of recovery from all that yummy Thanksgiving food I ate. Mmmm turkey!! Tomorrow we have a whole day of shopping planned and I'm super excited. I've been waiting months for this day! As I've mentioned before, the shopping in my city is a tad bit pitiful and although I'm super thankful for the abundance of online retailers, being able to actually try things on is definitely nice for a change!

Now for some fashion talk. Tweed is once again a huge trend this fall/winter season and I couldn't be any more thrilled. I recently purchased a tweed skirt from Suzy Shier and let me tell you. . . I'm in love!!! So far it has been super versatile which is exactly what my wardrobe was missing this season! Fur is back for another season as well. :)

It's Friday, which means Thanksgiving weekend is finally here!!! Tomorrow morning Mum and I will be driving to Oakville to spend the long weekend with family. I've been counting down the days for months, getting more and more excited every day! But as I sit here thinking of the 8 hour long car ride that awaits me. . . I'm no longer feeling so excited. Ugh!Why my sister decided to move so far away, I will never quite understand. But being able to ~~shop til' I drop~~ spend time with my lovely sister is always well worth it of course. Ha!

Thanksgiving only means one thing to me. . . FOOD! Ok, I know it's supposed to be about giving thanks. . . and I will definitely be thankful this weekend. . .for all of the yummy food! :)
I hope everyone has a good weekend. To all of my Canadian readers, Happy Thanksgiving!!

Oh how I love autumn. Every year around this time, the trees in my front yard create such a beautiful array of colors. One tree in particular creates a nice warm glow when the sun shines through the orange and yellow leaves. It was the most perfect background for today's outfit.

Mustard yellow is one of my top favorite colors for fall. It never used to appeal to me until last year. When paired with browns, greys or burgundy (worn here), I think it's absolutely beautiful. Definitely an autumn wardrobe must have! For those who are new to this color or undecided, I definitely suggest giving it a try. Perhaps something small to start off with, like a scarf or belt (worn here). :)

Happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I thought I would start the month of October with a Wants & Wishes post. It's been a while. . . Oops!

I'm crazy obsessed with a million things from H&M at the moment. Unfortunately the nearest store is miles and miles away and online shopping isn't available. This is truly depressing! Mum and I are going down south for Thanksgiving (which thankfully is fast approaching) to spend time with family and we've made sure to squeeze in some shopping time! Until then, here's my wish list. Hopefully some of these items will find their way into my closet. . . SOON! :)

Gold Sequin Blazer ~ H&M. Black Pants ~ H&M. Grey Blazer ~ H&M.
Black Cap Toe Shoes ~ Shoedazzle. Skirt ~ H&M
Collar Necklace ~ H&M. Bag ~ Just Fab. Shoes ~ H&M.

Hello dear readers! Looks like summer is officially over. The leaves in my front yard have begun to change color and the cold weather has arrived. I don't think Mum has realized it though, or she's immune to the cold because she still hasn't put the heat on in this old house. I'm freezing here! She must not have noticed me walking around the house with slippers on and all the layers of clothing I've been wearing. She must not have heard me complaining that I'm freezing either! Eff! I will have to start sneaking downstairs and turning the heat on when she's asleep. Ha!

As a farewell to summer, I've decided to share a few outfits that never got published over the spring/summer season.

Mum and I attended a wedding last month. Oh how I love weddings! The dress is Jessica Simpson which I found at Winners for quite a bargain! Thought I would try dark lipstick for a change. It was very different and extremely unlike me but, I really liked it. :)

I hope everyone enjoyed their summer. I sure did! But I must admit, Fall is my favorite season and I'm super excited to get started!! :)
