Fall is undoubtedly my favourite season and it saddens me to say that we are approaching the end of October, which means the autumn season will soon come to an end over here in northern Ontario. The trees are mostly bare and the beautiful array of colorful fall leaves have begun to disappear. The temperatures have drastically dropped (I saw snow today), but, on a happier note, I will be visiting Brandon in Michigan this coming weekend and I'm really hoping I'll still be able to enjoy some nice fall weather down south. I'm not ready for snow! It's too early!!  

Here's a round-up of my favourite fall outfits from last year. 
     

I recently purchased holographic nail polish from the Sally Hansen Lustre Shine Collection and I'm officially obsessed. This season, shade-shifting nail polish is a huge trend. Whether they have a shimmery finish or a metallic finish, you'll definitely want to give this trend a try! Over Thanksgiving weekend I wore Lava by Sally Hansen which is, in my opinion, the most holographic shade in the collection. Every time the sunlight hit my nails, I watched with excitement as the shade shifted from pink to orange. Here are a few holographic collections I'm thrilled about at the moment.

This past Monday was Thanksgiving here in Canada. I hope all of my Canadian readers enjoyed the holiday. I normally spend it with family but this year I took advantage of the extra time off from work and spent the weekend with Brandon in Michigan. 

We wanted to do something fun so we had a mini vacay in Frankenmuth. I've visited this quaint little Bavarian town three times now and I still love it just as much as the first time. We stayed at our favourite place, Midtown Bed & Breakfast. If you're planning on going to Frankenmuth and like Bed & Breakfasts, you definitely want to give this place a try. 

Other than strolling up and down Main Street (with my favourite person) and enjoying the scenery, my top three favourite things are . . . Frankenmuth Fudge, Chocolate Wine and Diane's delicious breakfast at Midtown Bed & Breakfast.  






What I'm Wearing : Suzy Shier Trench Coat. H&M Blouse. H&M Pants. JustFab Pumps. JustFab Bag. Urban Planet Necklace. Artizan Watch.  

Fall Trend ~ Leather Sleeves



Leather sleeves are back again this fall season and I'm extremely thrilled. It's perfect for adding some interest to an otherwise boring top, dress or jacket. I fell in love with this trend last year but, after countless hours spent searching for the perfect black blazer with faux leather sleeves, only to come up empty handed, I gave up. This year, retailers are offering a huge variety of mixed media tops. Leather sleeves are being spotted on blazers, jackets and coats, dresses, long sleeve and short sleeve shirts and sweaters. I won't have difficulty finding that perfect blazer with faux leather sleeves this season! :)
