The long knit vest is a big trend at the moment. It's a great transitional piece for fall. When it comes to choosing knits, I usually stay away from anything heavy to avoid adding bulk which is why I was so thrilled when I spotted this fuzzy mossy vest from Ricki's. It is absolute perfection. It's thin and flattering yet still warm and cozy.  My only complaint is the lack of colour options. 
I definitely would have purchased more than one colour!


I really love mixing textures so I paired the vest with this gold sequin striped top from J. Crew. I love how the gold sequins add a bit of interest to an otherwise plain striped top. It was on my wishlist about a month ago and I was so thrilled when Brandon surprised me with it during my last visit in Michigan. :)
I purchased these faux suede boots about a year ago but they never made it onto the blog until now because unfortunately, the fall season doesn't last very long over here in Ontario. I've been trying to wear them as much as I can before the snow comes! 

What I'm wearing::
Long Open Vest ~ Ricki's
Striped Top ~ J. Crew Factory
Skinny Jeans ~ Guess
Bag ~ Christian Lacroix
Watch ~ (available here)
Brown Booties ~ Shoe Dazzle

The week is almost over! I hope everyone has a great weekend. 
Thank you for reading.  
Hello dear readers! It's hard to believe October is here already. Just a week ago, Brandon and I were in Las Vegas, trying to extend our summer just a few days longer. It was a great way to say farewell to summer and now it's time for cooler temperatures, blazers, heavy knits, warm layers and fall boots. 

Some of you have probably noticed that Ricki's is one of my favourite brands and I am really excited about their fall collection. Two of my favourite pieces at the moment are the coated denim moto jeans and the knit boyfriend blazer. You might find this hard to believe but, these are my very first jeans from Ricki's. I've tried many over the years and they just never seemed to fit me quite right so I gave up trying. That is, until I spotted the moto jeans and instantly fell in love. I just couldn't resist trying them on and I'm so glad I did! I must say, I am highly impressed with their jeans at the moment. Aside from the moto jeans, another favourite is the Ashley Barely Bootcut (recommended to me by the lovely ladies at Ricki's). They are so soft and comfortable, and the fit is very flattering. Must be that Power Stretch denim fabric! 
Two thumbs up for Ricki's!     



What I love the most about these moto jeans is the fact that they are not fully coated. 
The coated inserts are just enough to give this look an edgy vibe.    



I'm also really thrilled about this Chanel "boy bag" dupe from DAILYLOOK. 
I've been wanting this bag for months and I'm glad I waited it out because it is now on sale for $24.95


What I'm wearing ::

I hope everyone is having a great week. 

Thanks for reading. :)
