Fall Essentials

September weather can be all over the place, and Vancouver is no exception.  The mornings are chilly, but the afternoons are pleasantly warm, and the evenings are cold. A total in betweeny! Fall for me is all about warmth in the colours; earthy tones. 

Fall is great because you get to layers warm cozy knits ontop of dresses, with skirts, scarves and toques. My fall essentials have always been cable knit sweaters, full length skirts and a pair of good boots. Right now, I am kind of obsessed with leather skirts, although I do not have one! I am on the hunt for it though, asked my mom and aunt if they have one hiding around in their closets from the 80/09s...

What's hot for Fall this year? Bangs, cozy sweaters (1), full length leather skirts (3), boots (5) and dark lips (6) and eyes. Since my neck is more than often wrapped in a scarf during the Fall, I love the idea of wearing statement jewelry on one of my ears, like the cuff pictured above (2).

Also on my list for Fall Essentials is Lady Gaga's debut scent, Fame. I went into Shopper's Drug Mart yesterday to pick up some things, and walked by the display and just had take a wiff! It smells AMAZING! Everything from the bottle design to the scent screams romance, warmth, and confidence. Oh, sexy too! Fame is definitely on my birthday list, hint hint to my adorable husband, hahaha.

What are some of your fall essentials?

  3. I love your fall picks. I've been waiting and waiting to finally be able to wear fall clothes again, but it's still so darn warm here! I can't wait until I can wear sweaters and scarfs again.

  5. I actually wouldn't mind a leather skirt. My aunt gave me one of hers when I was about 12 but it was too big for me, and was still too big for me when I gave it away a couple years ago. Sigh. I'll keep looking!

  7. I'm loving the bangs look, but I don't think I can pull it off, my hair is too curly.

  8. Love your fall essential list! I would like to add a pair of boots to my fall wardrobe but have not found the color and style that I am looking for. A few weeks ago, I found a pair I liked a lot, but the boot sold out.
